Zach was diggin deep in this podcast! We see perfect examples in the Bible of how God uses ALL people in His plan. We know Him better by the presence of the Spirit within us. Great conversation!
Zach is a gem! I so appreciate what he brings to the podcast! Come on guys-let’s learn some new words-expand our brains. Let Zach bring to the table what God has given him! ✝️❤️🙏🏽
I love this episode, one of the most balanced in terms of hearing from all of you - because you all bring so much value to my walk with Jesus - episode's like this are my fav. I value Phil, Al, Jase and Zach. You each weave a tapestry together; creating a fuller picture for me. Thank you, God bless you all.
Zach, continue using your “big” words. There are those of us that not only understand but appreciate your command of the English language. You are correct. Diversity is beautiful. ❤

Zach, you have a beautiful way of approaching God. It's obvious that God has blessed you to reach people who have struggled and questioned. I love how Al agreed with you regarding people like Lee Strobel. I agree with you and think that you are very bright and ready to take on the Greeks and the Roman's in our current culture. Keep it up, Zach! Your love for Jesus and ability to explain things to people who question is important. We are all needed in the kingdom. Not everyone relates to Christian duck hunters. There is a place for all of us... God has people for us to reach for Jesus because of our life experiences 🙏
Zach you be YOU! Don’t let anyone dumb you down! You are a smart man and that is how God created you! Continue to walk in that. Some people are just jealous. 😊 My husband is someone who is an eloquent writer and speaker; he is a very intelligent man, a former attorney and he reads ALOT. It’s who he is - And I love him for it. ❤
You missed Phil’s original point. Zach was quoting some random intellectuals, and Phil said he ain’t never heard of them, he sticks with Paul and those who wrote the Bible.
No one was dumbing anyone down, you missed Phil’s point that the Bible writers are greater than the worldly teachers, but it’s ok, you weren’t the only one. Jesus bless you.
I agree that there’s room in the kingdom for everyone! I LOVE IT when Zach says a big word and Jase does the crickets 🤣 I would REALLY miss that. Love all of you 🥰👏🙏😎
I love this discussion you have here. I’ve watched duck dynasty and treasure hunting on Fox nation. You all feel like family. I had a cardiac arrest and it took my dad and paramedics 45 minutes to get me back. I now have such a true faith in our lord Jesus Christ ever since. I’m unable to get around like I used to and have wanted some type of Bible study and this it’s exactly what I was looking for. I love when miss Kay is on and would love the wives to participate now and then. One day I would love to be able to meet you all. You have an amazing family 🙏🏼❤️
I love the debate style approach to this episode. Nearing the end of the episode I ask myself who won the debate. Immediately I concluded that we are all winners in Christ.
You keep doing what you’re doing Zach. I also as a kid was taught not to question anything being preached at church, especially as a female. We weren’t even supposed to ask questions during a bible study. You are right It did cause confusion and problems in the church.
That wasn’t Phil’s point though, it was that the writers of the Bible are greater than the worldly teachers. All this other stuff is beside Phil’s original point. Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!
@@boorobertson1985 Could it be that you are missing a point? Jesus is glorified by both Zach and Phil & Jase. There are things that the Apostle Paul wrote that were worded in complicated ways and drawn out but his contribution is not dismissed by more simplified writers. There is room for both discussion types because both glorify the Lord.
Zach is just well educated and well read. You are all awesome men of God. Thank you for this wonderful podcast 💕. May the Lord bless you and your families 🙏❤

Please pray for me, I’ve always been a “Christian” but never lived my life for him and recently decided to change my life in every way possible. And I pray everyday just as much as I sin but I’m trying to change. For him and for myself. I’m struggling in every way in life atm and I feel as if he doesn’t hear me sometimes but I know I’m truly blessed to even be here I try to be grateful for everything but I know I’m greadyy at times. I think that’s the reason I’m still so stressed and worried so that’s something I’m trying to change. I recently found this podcast and I’m truly greatful as I learn a lot about our lord but I still have a lot more to learn so I can understand more and will hopefully help me be a better Christian and a better man in general. So please pray for me as I dedicate my life to Christ and learn and be better. Thanks you
Go back and watch all the episodes. You have this! When you don't know how HE knows. Put all your faith in Him. I'm still learning myself. Hope this helps. It's a daily struggle for most people. They just go to Him for help. In Jesus Name I Pray, Amen.
I grew up studying the Bible & I am familiar with most of the "big words" Zack has been using. I'm glad to learn more vocabulary that expands my understanding. Jase doesn't like to hear it because he thinks he knows it all & new words (which are not new, they have been used since before Jase was born) reveal that there's more to learn. I don't think restricting language is healthy. Ignore it if you want but stop trying to restrict Zack's language. I wish Jase would embrace the new words instead.
That wasn’t Phil’s point though, it was that the writers of the Bible are greater than the worldly teachers. All this other stuff is beside Phil’s original point. Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!
Zach definitely reminds me of my favorite Pastor/teacher David Guzik I do agree Zach is definitely underrated and a gem to this podcast! Keep it up Zach!
How this discussion “appears”: the two who don’t seem to be “formally” trained, ‘argue’ against “bigger words and thoughts”….And, Jase, to my very simplistic, ‘untrained ear’, your ‘argument’ changed two, three, even four times as the discussion went on. Bottom line- we are all human beings made by God. He gave us all diverse ways of acting, thinking, talking. Paul said he became all to all, that some might be saved. We can, should, do no less! God bless! Keep teaching us about Jesus-simple, diverse, profound, righteous!
Yet you missed Phil’s original point like the rest, ironic ain’t it? That wasn’t Phil’s point though, it was that the writers of the Bible are greater than the worldly teachers. All this other stuff is beside Phil’s original point. Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!
I don’t consider Zack’s vocabulary to be too advanced. I think most people with moderate command of the English language understand him perfectly well. I don’t understand the point Jase is trying to make. Maybe Jase needs to expand his knowledge.

As someone who didn't grow up in church.😢.. as an adult i heard preaching on the radio that said YOU MUST NOT QUESTION ANYTHING ABOUT GOD. I heard so many things that i thought any time i messed up i had to get saved again... over and over. People talk about never forgetting when they were saved. which gave me something else to feel guilty about. 13 years ago i was able to be off on Sundays and i went to church the first Sunday...then my husband started going too. I'm so thankful. We finally found the place God wanted us to be. My wonderful church family helped me when the Lord called my husband of over 39 years Home..and still do 2 1/2 years later. Thank You Jesus!!! ❤❤❤D
Zac is the man! I appreciate how specific he is with things and those big words help him to get his points across… besides he knows words like Phil and Jase know duck hunting! Everybody has their own take talent and God can use it
You disagree with what? You probably missed Phil’s point like the rest. Phil’s point is that the writers of the Bible are greater than Zach’s Worldly teachers.
I disagree with Phil respectfully in that the Kingdom of God is made up of many levels of intellect. In the book Job God talked about his creation and the complexity of it. It is peppered through out the bible - all of creation is a reflection of the creator. That includes all levels of intellect. People like Zach have deeper thoughts; I would argue that this is by design and the Lord would have it that way on purpose. As long as all come to Jesus and receive salvation through Jesus and the gospel is not watered down - then why would Zach's contribution to discussions be put down? I know where Phil is coming from but there is room at the table for both presentations, so long as Jesus is glorified.
That wasn’t Phil’s point though, it was that the writers of the Bible are greater than the worldly teachers. All this other stuff is beside Phil’s original point. Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!

Phil’s original point had nothing to do with big words, but it was about these intellectuals that Zach was quoting, Phil said he ain’t never heard of them. Phil was pointing to Paul and those who wrote the Bible as his authority. So you all can agree with Zach all you want, while missing Phil’s point entirely.
You can express the word as simply or as creatively as you wish...as long as you are scripturally accurate .. If your words change the intention of the scripture, that's when it's wrong... PERIOD... Jase and Phil aren't wrong, we don't need to add to or take away from the word which I believe was Jase's intention.... Zach isn't wrong either as long as his words convey the scripture accurately....I respect all their opinions, and appreciate the conversation...All opinions are valuable, and I don't think we need to bash ANY of them...
Zach and his “big words” are fine. He is correct that the lack of intelligencia encouraged in the church has hurt it. The Truth isn’t afraid of questions. Proverbs 25:2
Awe Zach.. I agree with you and I understand what you are explaining. I say keep using the big words. Intriguing those to search out a matter is a thing also 😉
That wasn’t Phil’s point though, it was that the writers of the Bible are greater than the worldly teachers. All this other stuff is beside Phil’s original point. Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!
Stay strong Zach. Yours is a different way of breaking it down that helps me connect the repeated phrases Jase and Phil use to the current Bible studies. The more words we know, the more people we can understand and communicate our ideas to.
That wasn’t Phil’s point though, it was that the writers of the Bible are greater than the worldly teachers. All this other stuff is beside Phil’s original point. Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!
Jesus good, devil bad. Thanks be unto God that there is more to it than that. Celebrate the diverse gifts that each of you have and do not diminish them or each other.
We all learn and understand in different ways because we are ALL different. Whether it’s a “big” word or a “simple” word. Thank you Zach for pushing us to learn. And thank you Phil for keeping it simple. Jase, settle down. 😊
I think what's more important than whether the conversation is simple or intellectual using "big words", is to understand the audience you're preaching, teaching, or speaking too. If the person you are speaking too is ver intellectual then speak as intellectually as you are able. If your audience is not of the intellectual type, then keep the gospel simple. I think narrowing down to only one way of teaching and preaching can leave certain audiences out of gaining more knowledge of the gospel, which is part of the great commision.
At 13 minutes when Zach says what he says about the lack of understanding of what it means to be saved… I completely agree. Zach’s way of going about it is transformative. I can’t believe people can’t see this. Wisdom is not just in years as you can see
Zach we love man I learn more from you than I do from most people the way you communicated awesome especially if you’re trying to reach somebody that is college, educated and dismisses the gospel as something it only simple people believe I love what you do zach
That wasn’t Phil’s point though, it was that the writers of the Bible are greater than the worldly teachers. All this other stuff is beside Phil’s original point. Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!
Zach shouldn't be put down for using big words in a concise manner, when his accuser, Jase, takes up to 40 mins of an episode to say lots of small words 🤷🏽♂️❤️
ZACK by far your best podcast!!!! Hey people I don’t understand some of the words Zack says either!!! I wanna say THANK YOU ZACK for teaching me some new words , an also if you listen to the small words before the big word , you can usually correctly assume what the big word meant!! Zack I will be the first to admit you def wasn’t my favorite person , but I wanna apologize for that!! Keep pushing back an using big words, maybe someone might learn something as well as get the word!! Amen
Exactly I can remember my journey as a kid trying to read the Bible I couldn't do it I just could not understand I couldn't even understand why I kept trying To I prayed and I started getting pictures then a movie came along BAM💥my eyes were opened I could finally understand🙏 I truly appreciate this podcast because I can see the Bible play out in my mind I see Paul I Jesus I Peter I am so Grateful for God's Simplicity of His Word But if you don't have the Holy Spirit It Honestly is a Crazy Book to Read I am so glad you explained that to that Inmate Zach 🥹🙏
Listen while Phil is there, boys! As a daughter, who's dad has gone on early (he was in his 60's I was in my 20's)...I wish I would have listened more!
I like Zach’s vocabulary. He can get out there too far for me, but I still like hearing what he has to say. He can say what he says and I’ll make my own mind up on what to believe through my discernment. Look: Jesus spoke in parables to the groups of people, but not to the disciples. Paul taught to the gentiles. Peter to the Jews. If that way speaks to you, chances are it will speak to another. ❤ I like apologetics, but it isn’t my main or only study. I use it for specific subjects like the creation story or something more science related. I don’t think it should be a separate theology, but I feel that way about most theologies. ❤
I agree with Phil and Jase. Share the Gospel as it is, don’t intellectualize it, or philosophize it, or align it to this World’s standards. Just share the Bible. Share the stories. Share the Gospel. Praise Christ who died for us all.
That wasn’t Phil’s point though, it was that the writers of the Bible are greater than the worldly teachers. All this other stuff is beside Phil’s original point. Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!

Ok you can think that, but Zach missed Phil’s point and so did you. Phil’s point was that the writers of the Bible are greater that the worldly teachers.
I think there's a real disconnect here... intelectual doesn't require big words that most people don't understand. Intelectual simply requires a deeper understanding of a matter. Bigger words does not equal greater understanding. When speaking in a public forum, what is important is that those who are listening understand what is being communicated. Therefore, using words which all the listeners will understand is quite important, unless you are intentionally wanting some people to not understand. This happens often when people know a different language and they want to have a conversation that they do not want others nearby to understand. Same principal. It's much easier/ efficient to say things in such a way that people understand without having to stop mid-conversation to define a word. Not only that, but doing so causes a break in following what's being said and cause some people to tune out.
I’m a pretty simple person not highly educated. Don’t understand a lot of the big words, has to be put in Laymans terms. I guess for me simple is better. never hurts to grow to learn and grow deeper. I love you all. I love what Zach brings to the table. thank you for the podcast, I have been listening for the last five years.
The answer to the first argument is simple. The beauty of The Gospel and the things of God is that they are both simple and complex at the same time. For those that enjoy pontificating The Word and dissecting it from every angle, it can stand up to that. For the man who likes to keep things simple and maybe doesn't think it complex ways, its powerful enough on the surface to hold up to that as well.
Great discussion guys. As far as ‘big’ words, when I read my Bible my Ipad is right next to me so I can google words for a better understanding of the definition.
Create in me a clean heart, Lord God Almighty, forgive me of anything I have done, said or thought that is not pleasing to You, please accept my repentance ❤❤❤
Instead of eschatology, just say the study of future things, instead of soteriology just say the study of salvation ... Instead of propitiation, simply define it: God's wrath towards men has been satisfied by Christ's sacrifice ... Convey the truth as simply as possible. I have quite a bit of theological training I understand the big terms and theological arguments, but we don't have to use those words when our audience is not a seminary.
I always smile when the apostles are in the boat, and they say to Jesus, "Don't you care that we are perishing". The whole reason for Jesus being on earth is because He cared that we were perishing.
Right about what? He missed Phil’s point, and so did you! That wasn’t Phil’s point though, it was that the writers of the Bible are greater than the worldly teachers. All this other stuff is beside Phil’s original point. Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!
I was saying Zach was right about his own point: people who use “big words” need Jesus too. I’m not sure what you’re saying Zach was wrong about. So Zach is pointing to Christ also. I agree with Jase and Phil too. I don’t think they’re wrong about what they said.
Thank you guys for giving me something wholesome to listen to . While I settle down for the night. I am in a Armor of God group with some ladies from Lighthouse Church in Panama City, Florida. I look up the verses ya’ll speak of. ❤
The Word of God warns us against being ignorant. Zach may use big words, but he always breaks down those big words. The danger is when we read the big word and we don’t explain the big words to people who have no interest. (Or enough common sense?) find out what they mean. Just because someone isn’t “educated“ doesn’t mean we can’t become educated. Thank you, to each of you, for contributing in the way God created and equipped you to be. I believe that is the reason you are able to reach so many. Many blessings and you continue to share Jesus with the world.
That wasn’t Phil’s point though, it was that the writers of the Bible are greater than the worldly teachers. All this other stuff is beside Phil’s original point. Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!
@@boorobertson1985, the Holy Spirit gave the Word to the writers of the Bible. What makes us think/assume He isn’t doing that through t people today? He reveals the mysteries of His Word and every time we read it something new is revealed. BTW, I don’t believe I was knocking what Phil said. But the argument of using “big” words may only be a preference, but we should never be satisfied with ignorance of what words mean when we hear them. If we’re not learning, we’re not growing and maturing, and that is against the word of God (Hebrews 6).
@@abundantlovechurchofthenaz4949 my pint was, that everyone missed Phil’s original point, and made it about big words, and small words, and medium words. Phil’s point had nothing to do with big words, but what everything to do with follow Christ, and the writers of the Bible, instead of the who’s who intellectual worldly teachers.
I think the most important thing is being understood by those you're sharing with. If you're talking with "intellectuals" use all the words you want if they understand. To us "normies" probably better to use words everyone would be able to understand. God Bless! Love the podcast.
🤣 Poor Zach…. Be nice Y’all. After all, “Variety is the spice of life.” Even if it’s a small percentage of the audience, he’s reaching and feeding those individuals as well. I enjoy the fact that you have diverse personalities.

I was notating scripture from devotionals to sticky pads to mark verses I have studied while listening to the podcast and this verse popped out and is relatable to this exact podcast, Luke 12: 11-12. This is not the first time this has happened. Just the first time I commented.

I respectfully point you four to this comment thread…. Just take in the diversity of comments, “sides”, “likes”, “dislikes”! ALL are watching, listening, appreciating, and learning! As simple, direct, and unencumbered as Phil or “big-worded”, expository, and professorial as Zack (and Al), we are ALL hearing, digesting, learning in our respective ways! You can “discuss”, but when you “dismiss” or belittle, that comes across in very plain language…. Please keep that in mind when ‘agreeing to disagree’. 🙏

Go back and watch all the episodes. You have this! When you don't know how HE knows. Put all your faith in Him. I'm still learning myself. Hope this helps. It's a daily struggle for most people. They just go to Him for help. In Jesus Name I Pray, Amen.
You just keep your goal in mind. He above has your back, always. Have His back too. 🙏
Jesus bless you!
I grew up studying the Bible & I am familiar with most of the "big words" Zack has been using. I'm glad to learn more vocabulary that expands my understanding. Jase doesn't like to hear it because he thinks he knows it all & new words (which are not new, they have been used since before Jase was born) reveal that there's more to learn.
I don't think restricting language is healthy. Ignore it if you want but stop trying to restrict Zack's language. I wish Jase would embrace the new words instead.
That wasn’t Phil’s point though, it was that the writers of the Bible are greater than the worldly teachers. All this other stuff is beside Phil’s original point. Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!
Zach definitely reminds me of my favorite Pastor/teacher David Guzik I do agree Zach is definitely underrated and a gem to this podcast! Keep it up Zach!
How this discussion “appears”: the two who don’t seem to be “formally” trained, ‘argue’ against “bigger words and thoughts”….And, Jase, to my very simplistic, ‘untrained ear’, your ‘argument’ changed two, three, even four times as the discussion went on. Bottom line- we are all human beings made by God. He gave us all diverse ways of acting, thinking, talking. Paul said he became all to all, that some might be saved. We can, should, do no less! God bless! Keep teaching us about Jesus-simple, diverse, profound, righteous!
Yet you missed Phil’s original point like the rest, ironic ain’t it?
That wasn’t Phil’s point though, it was that the writers of the Bible are greater than the worldly teachers. All this other stuff is beside Phil’s original point. Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!
I don’t consider Zack’s vocabulary to be too advanced. I think most people with moderate command of the English language understand him perfectly well. I don’t understand the point Jase is trying to make. Maybe Jase needs to expand his knowledge.
That wasn’t the point, Phil and Jase’s point was that those who wrote the Bible are more important than those intellectuals that Zach mentioned.
Zach is knowledgeable
Very Knowledgeable!
That wasn’t Phil’s point though, it was that the writers of the Bible are greater than the worldly teachers. All this other stuff is beside Phil’s original point. Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!
As someone who didn't grow up in church.😢.. as an adult i heard preaching on the radio that said YOU MUST NOT QUESTION ANYTHING ABOUT GOD. I heard so many things that i thought any time i messed up i had to get saved again... over and over. People talk about never forgetting when they were saved. which gave me something else to feel guilty about. 13 years ago i was able to be off on Sundays and i went to church the first Sunday...then my husband started going too. I'm so thankful. We finally found the place God wanted us to be. My wonderful church family helped me when the Lord called my husband of over 39 years Home..and still do 2 1/2 years later. Thank You Jesus!!! ❤❤❤D
Zac is the man! I appreciate how specific he is with things and those big words help him to get his points across… besides he knows words like Phil and Jase know duck hunting! Everybody has their own take talent and God can use it
Sorry Phil, I respectfully disagree. Zach keep up the good work
You disagree with what? You probably missed Phil’s point like the rest. Phil’s point is that the writers of the Bible are greater than Zach’s Worldly teachers.
I disagree with Phil respectfully in that the Kingdom of God is made up of many levels of intellect. In the book Job God talked about his creation and the complexity of it. It is peppered through out the bible - all of creation is a reflection of the creator. That includes all levels of intellect. People like Zach have deeper thoughts; I would argue that this is by design and the Lord would have it that way on purpose. As long as all come to Jesus and receive salvation through Jesus and the gospel is not watered down - then why would Zach's contribution to discussions be put down? I know where Phil is coming from but there is room at the table for both presentations, so long as Jesus is glorified.
Zach adds so much to the team. Keep those words coming!
It takes many people to make up a church… go Zac
That wasn’t Phil’s point though, it was that the writers of the Bible are greater than the worldly teachers. All this other stuff is beside Phil’s original point. Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!
You go Zach! Totally agree
Agree with what? Zach missed Phil’s point and so did you!
That wasn’t Phil’s point though, it was that the writers of the Bible are greater than the worldly teachers. All this other stuff is beside Phil’s original point. Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!
Phil’s original point had nothing to do with big words, but it was about these intellectuals that Zach was quoting, Phil said he ain’t never heard of them. Phil was pointing to Paul and those who wrote the Bible as his authority. So you all can agree with Zach all you want, while missing Phil’s point entirely.
You can express the word as simply or as creatively as you wish...as long as you are scripturally accurate
.. If your words change the intention of the scripture, that's when it's wrong... PERIOD... Jase and Phil aren't wrong, we don't need to add to or take away from the word which I believe was Jase's intention.... Zach isn't wrong either as long as his words convey the scripture accurately....I respect all their opinions, and appreciate the conversation...All opinions are valuable, and I don't think we need to bash ANY of them...
Yes! Praise Jesus!
Jesus bless you!
Zach and his “big words” are fine. He is correct that the lack of intelligencia encouraged in the church has hurt it. The Truth isn’t afraid of questions. Proverbs 25:2
Awe Zach.. I agree with you and I understand what you are explaining. I say keep using the big words. Intriguing those to search out a matter is a thing also 😉
Free speech, Jase. Don't censor Zack.
Phil and Jase were pointing to the Bible, Zach was pointing to random intellectuals, this has nothing to do with free speech.
That wasn’t Phil’s point though, it was that the writers of the Bible are greater than the worldly teachers. All this other stuff is beside Phil’s original point. Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!
Amen!!! I love this conversation. 🙏
Thank you for delivering the word. I love this podcast 🫶🔥
Yes me too praise Jesus!
I'm not always on Zach's side, but this is a time I have to say: Jase get off Zach's case brother ♡ I love you both, big words are not an issue here.
Keep going Zach! I might not understand every word but capable of learning. 🤔🧐😎
I see what Zac is saying COMPLETELY
You might see what Zach is saying, but you still missed Phil’s point that the Bible writers are greater than the worldly teachers. Christ bless you.
This is a fantastic illustration of Proverbs 27:17 to me. Different perspectives being shared and ironing out (pun intended) misunderstandings.
Zach, keep with up the big words, love it.
Thank y'all and praying for everyone
God bless unashamed family and friends in Jesus name amen
Jesus bless you!
Stay strong Zach. Yours is a different way of breaking it down that helps me connect the repeated phrases Jase and Phil use to the current Bible studies. The more words we know, the more people we can understand and communicate our ideas to.
That wasn’t Phil’s point though, it was that the writers of the Bible are greater than the worldly teachers. All this other stuff is beside Phil’s original point. Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!
@@boorobertson1985 nobody argued against that. Zach always points to Christ as well.
Thanks for blessing us with another great video
Zach is wise. He definitely has the gift of intellect from God, but it is his wisdom that I admire.
Go Al , thank you for that ❤
Jesus good, devil bad. Thanks be unto God that there is more to it than that. Celebrate the diverse gifts that each of you have and do not diminish them or each other.
The way I see it is you have in Phil we have a teacher of the Gospel while Zach is into Christian forensics. God bless them, I love them all. ❤❤❤
We all learn and understand in different ways because we are ALL different. Whether it’s a “big” word or a “simple” word. Thank you Zach for pushing us to learn. And thank you Phil for keeping it simple. Jase, settle down. 😊
I think what's more important than whether the conversation is simple or intellectual using "big words", is to understand the audience you're preaching, teaching, or speaking too. If the person you are speaking too is ver intellectual then speak as intellectually as you are able. If your audience is not of the intellectual type, then keep the gospel simple. I think narrowing down to only one way of teaching and preaching can leave certain audiences out of gaining more knowledge of the gospel, which is part of the great commision.
At 13 minutes when Zach says what he says about the lack of understanding of what it means to be saved… I completely agree. Zach’s way of going about it is transformative. I can’t believe people can’t see this. Wisdom is not just in years as you can see
Zach we love man I learn more from you than I do from most people the way you communicated awesome especially if you’re trying to reach somebody that is college, educated and dismisses the gospel as something it only simple people believe I love what you do zach
That wasn’t Phil’s point though, it was that the writers of the Bible are greater than the worldly teachers. All this other stuff is beside Phil’s original point. Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!
To me that's what happens when we are growing and renewing our minds in Christ. Being led by the Holy Spirit. Ongoing sanctification.
Yes! Praise Jesus!
Zach just use your vocabulary. It causes the rest of use to Google for the meaning. And, that's all good brother!
That wasn’t Phil’s point though, you missed it. Phil’s point was that the Bible writers are greater than worldly teachers, nothing about vocabulary.
Zach shouldn't be put down for using big words in a concise manner, when his accuser, Jase, takes up to 40 mins of an episode to say lots of small words 🤷🏽♂️❤️
I do wish Jase would learn to summarize. I am interested in his experiences (most of the time) but he seems to think it's more important than it is.
@@jewelssylva3738lol yeah I love Jase and his stories but they take a long long time 😂
yet they fly right over your head still.
Study to show yourself approved, to answer everyman that asks you for the reason of The Hope that lies within you.
So look it up Jase
Look what up? Jase was siding with Phil on the writers of the Bible are greater than the Worldly teachers. You missed the point just like the rest.
It is simple. Belief in Jesus plus nothing =salvation. That doesn't mean we don't continue to read the Word and pray.
Yeah I agree, but ppl missed Phil’s point entirely that the Bible writers are greater than the worldly teachers.
ZACK by far your best podcast!!!! Hey people I don’t understand some of the words Zack says either!!! I wanna say THANK YOU ZACK for teaching me some new words , an also if you listen to the small words before the big word , you can usually correctly assume what the big word meant!! Zack I will be the first to admit you def wasn’t my favorite person , but I wanna apologize for that!! Keep pushing back an using big words, maybe someone might learn something as well as get the word!! Amen
Exactly I can remember my journey as a kid trying to read the Bible I couldn't do it I just could not understand
I couldn't even understand why I kept trying To I prayed and I started getting pictures then a movie came along BAM💥my eyes were opened I could finally understand🙏
I truly appreciate this podcast because I can see the Bible play out in my mind I see Paul I Jesus I Peter I am so Grateful for God's Simplicity of His Word
But if you don't have the Holy Spirit It Honestly is a Crazy Book to Read I am so glad you explained that to that Inmate Zach 🥹🙏
Jesus bless you!
Listen while Phil is there, boys! As a daughter, who's dad has gone on early (he was in his 60's I was in my 20's)...I wish I would have listened more!
Yes! Jesus bless you!
I like Zach’s vocabulary. He can get out there too far for me, but I still like hearing what he has to say. He can say what he says and I’ll make my own mind up on what to believe through my discernment.
Look: Jesus spoke in parables to the groups of people, but not to the disciples.
Paul taught to the gentiles.
Peter to the Jews.
If that way speaks to you, chances are it will speak to another. ❤
I like apologetics, but it isn’t my main or only study. I use it for specific subjects like the creation story or something more science related. I don’t think it should be a separate theology, but I feel that way about most theologies. ❤
I agree with Phil and Jase. Share the Gospel as it is, don’t intellectualize it, or philosophize it, or align it to this World’s standards. Just share the Bible. Share the stories. Share the Gospel. Praise Christ who died for us all.
Keep pushing back Zack!! I’m pro the least educated Christian out here, I love learning new words Zack thank you!!
That wasn’t Phil’s point though, it was that the writers of the Bible are greater than the worldly teachers. All this other stuff is beside Phil’s original point. Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!
Thank You for the videos and The Message. Jesus Is Real
Jesus bless you!
Zach I understand most of your words and what does that say about those who complain about "big words"???

Notice how quiet Al is?
I think he agrees with Zach😂
Al is being respectful.
Ok you can think that, but Zach missed Phil’s point and so did you. Phil’s point was that the writers of the Bible are greater that the worldly teachers.
I think there's a real disconnect here... intelectual doesn't require big words that most people don't understand.
Intelectual simply requires a deeper understanding of a matter. Bigger words does not equal greater understanding.
When speaking in a public forum, what is important is that those who are listening understand what is being communicated. Therefore, using words which all the listeners will understand is quite important, unless you are intentionally wanting some people to not understand.
This happens often when people know a different language and they want to have a conversation that they do not want others nearby to understand. Same principal.
It's much easier/ efficient to say things in such a way that people understand without having to stop mid-conversation to define a word. Not only that, but doing so causes a break in following what's being said and cause some people to tune out.
Zacks right we need all kinds to bring as many as we can to the Lord!
If someone reads the Bible and understands it. How could they not believe the holy Spirit dwells in those that are true believers 😮
Brother Phil God bless you
Yes! Jesus bless you!
I’m a pretty simple person not highly educated. Don’t understand a lot of the big words, has to be put in Laymans terms. I guess for me simple is better. never hurts to grow to learn and grow deeper. I love you all. I love what Zach brings to the table. thank you for the podcast, I have been listening for the last five years.
AMEN. IT’S ABOUT JESUS!
Yes! Praise Jesus!
Amen Zach,, we all need to continue learning!,
The answer to the first argument is simple. The beauty of The Gospel and the things of God is that they are both simple and complex at the same time. For those that enjoy pontificating The Word and dissecting it from every angle, it can stand up to that. For the man who likes to keep things simple and maybe doesn't think it complex ways, its powerful enough on the surface to hold up to that as well.
Great discussion guys. As far as ‘big’ words, when I read my Bible my Ipad is right next to me so I can google words for a better understanding of the definition.
Dang Zach makes the most sense when he is reading straight from the Bible. Stick to that Buddy.
Create in me a clean heart, Lord God Almighty, forgive me of anything I have done, said or thought that is not pleasing to You, please accept my repentance ❤❤❤
Jesus Christ bless you!
Instead of eschatology, just say the study of future things, instead of soteriology just say the study of salvation ... Instead of propitiation, simply define it: God's wrath towards men has been satisfied by Christ's sacrifice ... Convey the truth as simply as possible. I have quite a bit of theological training I understand the big terms and theological arguments, but we don't have to use those words when our audience is not a seminary.
It’s all about faith and believing God!
Yes! Praise Jesus!
Zach. You just stay at it brother. Give it to Ole Jase daily. Love ya brother.!!
I always smile when the apostles are in the boat, and they say to Jesus, "Don't you care that we are perishing". The whole reason for Jesus being on earth is because He cared that we were perishing.
Just had to say it: ZACH IS RIGHT.
yeah when he made the same exact point Jase did previuosly.
Right about what? He missed Phil’s point, and so did you!
That wasn’t Phil’s point though, it was that the writers of the Bible are greater than the worldly teachers. All this other stuff is beside Phil’s original point. Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!
I was saying Zach was right about his own point: people who use “big words” need Jesus too.
I’m not sure what you’re saying Zach was wrong about. So Zach is pointing to Christ also.
I agree with Jase and Phil too.
I don’t think they’re wrong about what they said.
Praise Jesus Christ!
Thank you Robertson family for taking the time out of your day to teach us the good news in computer.
Thank you guys for giving me something wholesome to listen to . While I settle down for the night. I am in a Armor of God group with some ladies from Lighthouse Church in Panama City, Florida.
I look up the verses ya’ll speak of. ❤
The Word of God warns us against being ignorant. Zach may use big words, but he always breaks down those big words. The danger is when we read the big word and we don’t explain the big words to people who have no interest. (Or enough common sense?) find out what they mean. Just because someone isn’t “educated“ doesn’t mean we can’t become educated.
Thank you, to each of you, for contributing in the way God created and equipped you to be. I believe that is the reason you are able to reach so many. Many blessings and you continue to share Jesus with the world.
Lovely comment!

@@boorobertson1985, the Holy Spirit gave the Word to the writers of the Bible. What makes us think/assume He isn’t doing that through t people today? He reveals the mysteries of His Word and every time we read it something new is revealed. BTW, I don’t believe I was knocking what Phil said. But the argument of using “big” words may only be a preference, but we should never be satisfied with ignorance of what words mean when we hear them. If we’re not learning, we’re not growing and maturing, and that is against the word of God (Hebrews 6).
@@abundantlovechurchofthenaz4949 my pint was, that everyone missed Phil’s original point, and made it about big words, and small words, and medium words. Phil’s point had nothing to do with big words, but what everything to do with follow Christ, and the writers of the Bible, instead of the who’s who intellectual worldly teachers.
❤Zack, you. Just keep up with the Big words. You lift up the study level...lol
I agree with Jase, too, Jesus makes us smart through the Holy Spirit 😊
I think the most important thing is being understood by those you're sharing with. If you're talking with "intellectuals" use all the words you want if they understand. To us "normies" probably better to use words everyone would be able to understand. God Bless! Love the podcast.
🤣 Poor Zach…. Be nice Y’all. After all, “Variety is the spice of life.” Even if it’s a small percentage of the audience, he’s reaching and feeding those individuals as well. I enjoy the fact that you have diverse personalities.
Phil speaks up on the use of big words 🤪🤣
I actually like the big words but respect all these guys tremendously

GOD SPEAKS TO ALL OF US DIFFERENTLY. WE ARE NOT ROBOTS. THANK GOD
I was notating scripture from devotionals to sticky pads to mark verses I have studied while listening to the podcast and this verse popped out and is relatable to this exact podcast, Luke 12: 11-12. This is not the first time this has happened. Just the first time I commented.
Peter would disagree with Phil, Peter said in - 2 Peter 3:16, Paul wrote in way that many didn't understand.
No he wouldn’t , because he would have understood Phil’s original point, which you and the rest missed.

Go for it Zak intelligence is a gift from God and there is nothing wrong with using it. I am not saying anyone else isn't intelligent but I do agree more with Zak.

I respectfully point you four to this comment thread…. Just take in the diversity of comments, “sides”, “likes”, “dislikes”! ALL are watching, listening, appreciating, and learning! As simple, direct, and unencumbered as Phil or “big-worded”, expository, and professorial as Zack (and Al), we are ALL hearing, digesting, learning in our respective ways! You can “discuss”, but when you “dismiss” or belittle, that comes across in very plain language…. Please keep that in mind when ‘agreeing to disagree’. 🙏
Yeah comments are full of ppl who missed Phil’s point.

When theyre unnecessary dont use the big words
