Welcome to The Semi-Seminarian —where we talk about the Bible like grown-ups. Maybe you were taught the Bible as a child… or by folks who never really moved past children’s church themselves. That might’ve left you with a Vacation Bible School version of scripture in a world that demands something deeper. This podcast is for the ones asking honest questions, carrying quiet wounds, and still hoping there’s more. Around here, we wrestle with the text, laugh when we can, and tell the truth even when it stings. Because the gospel is better than you were told—and you’re not alone in wanting to believe that again.

The Semi-Seminarian
Why does the book of Acts end without an ending? No trial before Caesar, no verdict, no word on how Paul died. Luke stops on one Greek word, and it answers a question a stranger asked back in Acts 8. This is the final...
The Semi-Seminarian
Paul survived 14 nights in a storm and a shipwreck off Malta. Then, while he was gathering firewood for everybody else, a viper came out of the kindling and bit him. The islanders had him figured out in about four...
The Semi-Seminarian
Paul's shipwreck in Acts 27 throws everything overboard: cargo, tackle, the wheat, the anchors, the ship itself. Everything but the people. "All hope that we would be saved was now taken away." Luke wrote that, and Luke...
The Semi-Seminarian
Paul could have walked free. A king said so. Then they put him on a boat anyway. A sermon for anyone who keeps driving back to the intersection where it all went wrong. In Acts 26:30–27:12, the hearing is over, the...
The Semi-Seminarian
King Agrippa knew the prophets. Paul knew he knew them. So the prisoner looked at the king and asked the question Agrippa never directly answered: “King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets?” This is where Acts 25–26...
The Semi-Seminarian
Acts 23:12–35 records one of the wildest rescue stories in the Book of Acts: more than forty men swear not to eat or drink until Paul is dead—but Paul’s unnamed nephew overhears the murder plot, and everything starts...
The Semi-Seminarian
Paul spends the day preaching resurrection. That night, the risen Jesus stands beside him and says: “Take courage.” In this Acts 23:1–11 Bible study , Paul stands before the Sanhedrin, gets struck in the mouth at the...
The Semi-Seminarian
Paul tells the crowd his whole story—and they listen. The Damascus Road. The voice of Jesus. Ananias. The healing. The Temple vision. They listen to all of it. Then Paul says one word. Gentiles. And the crowd explodes...
The Semi-Seminarian
Peter escapes a Roman prison in Acts 12 — chains fall, guards sleep, and an iron gate opens by itself. Then he gets to the church… and they nearly leave him outside knocking. Acts 12 contains one of the strangest...
Paul knows this is goodbye. In Acts 20:13–38 , Paul summons the Ephesian elders to Miletus for one of the most emotional scenes in the Book of Acts — his final farewell to the church he spent three years teaching...
A young man named Eutychus falls three stories during Paul’s sermon in Acts 20:7–12. But the real story begins after they bring him back alive. Paul preached until midnight. Eutychus fell from the third-story window...
“Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!” In Acts 19:23–41, the gospel reaches deep enough into Ephesus that it begins changing how people spend their money—and Demetrius the silversmith notices. Paul hasn’t organized a...
Acts 19 brings Paul to Ephesus, where twelve disciples receive the Holy Spirit, the sons of Sceva try to use Jesus’ name as a formula, and believers burn a fortune in magical texts. In this Acts 19 Bible study , Pastor...
Apollos knew Scripture. He preached Jesus accurately. And Priscilla and Aquila still pulled him aside and showed him there was more . In Acts 18:24–28 , Paul leaves Ephesus—but the gospel does not leave with him. Luke...
Paul Thought He Was Alone in Corinth — He Was Wrong | Acts 18 YouTube Description Paul walks into Corinth exhausted, rejected, and afraid — and discovers that God was already there . In this Acts 18 Bible study , we...
Athens had a god for everything. Then Paul found one altar that admitted the whole system had a hole in it: “TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.” In Acts 17:16–34 , the Apostle Paul walks into Athens with no shared Bible, no Abraham, no...
Acts 17 asks a dangerous question: What if strong faith is willing to check the preacher? Paul opens the Scriptures in Thessalonica and Berea—but the Bereans do something remarkable: they examine the text for...
Before the earthquake shook Philippi, before Paul and Silas sang in prison, before the jail doors flew open, Acts 16 gives us Lydia —a woman praying beside a river whose heart the Lord opened and whose home became a...
Paul and Silas are beaten, chained, and locked inside a Philippian prison in Acts 16:25–34. Then an earthquake opens every door—but the greatest miracle is that nobody runs. At midnight, Paul and Silas are praying and...
Paul and Barnabas helped write the letter that saved Gentile Christianity — then split apart over one man's failure. This is the Bible study on Acts 15:36-41 and the apostle Paul verse "useful to me." Right after the...
