346 Hope
the simplyRevised podcast
We can all use hope. Most of us have lived through seasons marked by anxiety, fear, uncertainty, or loss. Sometimes those seasons are loud and overwhelming. Other times they are quiet, lingering beneath the surface. And in moments like that, hope can feel uncertain, thin, or distant. When the Bible talks about hope, it is not talking about wishful thinking or crossing our fingers. Scripture speaks of hope as something solid, grounded, and deeply rooted in who God is and what God has done. Support: Buy Me A Coffee: Follow: Facebook: Instagram: X: Podcast: YouTube: Music:...

345 Understanding Biblical Peace
the simplyRevised podcast
When most people talk about peace, they usually mean the absence of conflict. The absence of stress. The absence of noise. Peace becomes the quiet moment after the kids are in bed or the rare evening when the calendar is clear. But biblical peace is something much deeper. It is not simply the absence of noise or conflict. It is God making whole or putting together something that has been broken.

343: What Does The Bible Say About Thanksgiving
the simplyRevised podcast
Thanksgiving week has a way of pulling us in two different directions. On one hand, it invites us to slow down, gather around a table, enjoy family, and remember what we are thankful for. On the other hand, it often brings stress, busyness, travel, deadlines, and the race to prepare for the holidays. It is possible to reach Thursday thankful in theory but exhausted in practice. The Scriptures offer us a better way. They invite us not only to give thanks when things go well, but to cultivate gratitude as a way of life shaped by God’s story. Thanksgiving in the Bible is not a seasonal...

338: Responding To God's Salvation
the simplyRevised podcast
If someone asked you, “What is salvation?” how would you answer? Many would say it’s about being forgiven of sins or going to heaven. But the Bible tells a much bigger story. Salvation is about God rescuing His people, and His creation, from the power of sin and death, and leading us into a whole new way of life. Visit us online (simplyrevised.org)
info_outlineJesus doesn’t begin the Sermon on the Mount with commands—He begins with identity. “You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world.” These aren’t tasks to perform, but deep truths to live from.
In this episode, we explore three powerful, identity-shaping metaphors Jesus gives His followers: Salt, Light, and a City on a Hill. These aren’t random illustrations—they’re rooted in the Hebrew Scriptures and steeped in covenant language. Salt reminds us of God’s enduring faithfulness. Light reflects our calling to reveal God’s presence in a dark world. And a City? It’s a picture of a visible, communal people where others encounter the reign of God.
Through this lens, we’ll see how Jesus redefines what it means to be blessed and challenges us to live lives that are distinct, illuminated, and grounded in the story of God.
Whether it’s in our neighborhoods, workplaces, or online spaces, Jesus is calling us to be a preserving presence, a revealing light, and a visible people shaped by His Kingdom.
Key Themes:
- Salt as covenant loyalty
- Light as God’s mission
- The Church as a City that reflects God’s kingdom
Scripture Focus:
Matthew 5:13–16 (NIV)
"Let your light shine..." not to draw attention to ourselves, but to glorify our Father in heaven.”
