Mike and Ben dive back into Revelation and study the first of seven churches, Ephesus. This church lost its first love. What does it mean? Why should it matter to us today? The guys explore.
Mike and Ben discuss the place of keeping the 10 Commandments on the part of a professed, saved Christian. This leads to a second half discussion on what Jesus actually meant when He said, “Be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.”
The guys debate the place of works in Salvation. Can a person be saved if they don’t have good works? 
After six agonizing months of not being able to record together, Mike and Ben finally reconnect to resurrect the Thinking Cup Podcast with an epic episode. Where have they been? Mike was abducted by aliens and Ben was a space cadet. But they’re
Mike and Ben discuss when the Lord’s Day is in Revelation 1:10. Many today suggest the day is Sunday. Other’s suggest Saturday. Is there textual and Biblical evidence to support one idea or the other? In the second half of the show they discuss
Mike and Ben continue the discussion in Revelation 1, take a different look at the picture of the Trinity in verses 4-6, and then explore the Cloud Rider motif in verses 7-8. Of course in the middle are some really dumb and bad dad jokes. Join
Mike and Ben discuss the first three verses of the book of Revelation, unpacking some really cool things that are sometimes overlooked, but also set an amazing tone for the rest of the book of Revelation. Revelation is a book of mystery and sym
Mike and Ben are back and they are tackling the book of Revelation. In these times of crazy inflation, war in Ukraine, political instability and unrest, people are asking, "Could this be the start of the End Times depicted in Revelation?" Don't
Is Christmas born out of pagan tradition? Or could it be that pagan tradition is born out of a skewed ceremony or festival designed by God? Why the Christmas tree? Why December 25? It’s all in today’s provocative conversation. Originally Rec
The Bible says that God created the heavens and the earth in six days. Were those days six literal days? Or were they ages of times? There seems to be some debate about the length of a day, because Moses suggests a day equals the time from sund
After first discussing the COVID-19 Vaccine in February of 2021, Mike and Ben revisit the topic. In this discussion, they talk about how their lives and the lives of friends have been affected, positively, and negatively, by the virus and the v
A continuation of the discussion on God, and what the Bible is talking about when it talks about the Council of the gods. Are there other gods out there? How do we reconcile that with God’s own words when He says, “I am God and there is none ot
Psalm 82 tells us that God takes His seat in the Council of the gods. What does that mean? Are there other beings in the world who act like gods? But doesn’t the Bible say there is only one God—YAHWEH is His name? Is there a divine council that
In a world where politicians tell us one thing and do another, is there no accountability? What about in the church, in our communities, or in our streets, where has integrity gone? In this episode, Mike and Ben discuss the importance of having
What is the Context of Scripture? How do the different church denominations and non-denominational churches create a bias that gets in the way of how we interpret and understand? How does our disposition in life create a filter in our Bible stu
Who is God? What is His name? Does it matter if I call Him Yahweh, or Jesus, or Yeshua? Where does Yahweh even come from? Is it possible that God’s name is more than just a name? Mike and Ben explore the deeper meaning and divinity of the God o
This conversation about the Bible is not your normal Bible talk. We want to know: Is the "authorized" 1611 the best translation of the Bible? Is it God's final authority? Did Paul write the KJV? In this episode we explore textual criticism, the
It's a hot topic item in American society and politics right now: EQUITY. But what is equity in a social sense? How is it different from equality? And what does the Bible teach about equity. It might surprise you. Originally Recorded: Februa
Now that vaccines are available to fight COVID-19 the question remains, just how safe and truly effective are they? Some have had no side effects. Others have died. There's a lot of talk and a lot of fear. Mike and Ben try to cut through it all
There was concern if the outgoing president would peacefully turn the power of government over to the incoming president. We saw 25,000 troops sent to Washington to ensure peace and safety. But, why all the power grabs? Not just politically? In
Cancel culture is only getting worse. It is helpful to call out and remove problematic people for mainstream culture? Perhaps. But how and who gets to decide who to cancel them and for what? Seems like this is getting out of hand fast. What is
It's being called the Great Reset. And believe it or not, it has a strong financial backing and global support. In this episode, Ben and Mike discuss the implications of the initiative to “revamp all aspects of our societies and economies” from
