| 2/17/26 |  Where Does The Bible Come From? with Dr. Peter Gurry and Dr. John Meade (Part 1) | Where did the Bible come from—and how do we know we can trust it? Rebecca is joined by textual scholars John Meade and Peter Gurry to explore how Scripture was written, copied, translated, and recognized as canon. From the Septuagint to the Apocrypha, they unpack the Bible’s complex history—and why that history strengthens rather than weakens Christian confidence in God’s Word.Follow Peter:XFollow John:XGet 30% off all Good Book Guides and For You commentaries at thegoodbook.com with code **GOODBOOK**—or enjoy 40% off during the annual sale from May 5th to May 12th.Find the Conversational Commentaries Series wherever books are sold, or visit crossway.org/conversationalcommentaries to get 30% off with a free Crossway+ account.Watch Us on YouTubeSign up for weekly emails at RebeccaMcLaughlin.org/SubscribeFollow Us on Instagram and XProduced by The Good Podcast Co. | 19m 21s | ||||||
| 2/10/26 |  Why Read Poetry? with Stephen Witmer | Rebecca talks with pastor and author Dr. Stephen Witmer about why poetry—especially the work of 17th-century priest George Herbert—can deepen our understanding of the gospel. Through Herbert’s poems, they explore themes of inadequacy, priesthood, and the imputed righteousness of Christ. Along the way, they discuss why Scripture itself uses poetry and why beauty, metaphor, and imagination matter for Christian faith.Buy Stephen's Book:In All Things Thee to See: A Devotional Guide to Selected Poems of George HerbertGet 30% off all Good Book Guides and For You commentaries at thegoodbook.com with code **GOODBOOK**—or enjoy 40% off during the annual sale from May 5th to May 12th.Find the Conversational Commentaries Series wherever books are sold, or visit crossway.org/conversationalcommentaries to get 30% off with a free Crossway+ account.Watch Us on YouTubeSign up for weekly emails at RebeccaMcLaughlin.org/SubscribeFollow Us on Instagram and XProduced by The Good Podcast Co. | 45m 33s | ||||||
| 2/3/26 |  Can Psychology Help Us Become More Like Christ? with Jo Johnson | Are human beings basically good—or fundamentally broken? Rebecca is joined by clinical neuropsychologist Jo Johnson to explore what decades of psychological work reveal about human nature, shame, and our deep sense that something is “off.” Together they argue that Christianity doesn’t deny our inner darkness, but offers the only true freedom: being fully known and fully loved in Jesus.Buy Jo's Book: DisentangledGet 30% off all Good Book Guides and For You commentaries at thegoodbook.com with code **GOODBOOK**—or enjoy 40% off during the annual sale from May 5th to May 12th.Find the Conversational Commentaries Series wherever books are sold, or visit crossway.org/conversationalcommentaries to get 30% off with a free Crossway+ account.Watch Us on YouTubeSign up for weekly emails at RebeccaMcLaughlin.org/SubscribeFollow Us on Instagram and XProduced by The Good Podcast Co. | 34m 55s | ||||||
| 1/27/26 |  Should We Abolish Gender? with Rob Smith | Part 2 | Rebecca McLaughlin and Dr. Rob Smith continue their conversation on sex, gender, and transgender theory by tracing how the New Testament holds together real equality and real difference between men and women. They discuss gender dysphoria, disorders of sexual development, and why Christians can pursue deep compassion without affirming claims they believe are untrue. Throughout, they argue that keeping Jesus—and imitation of his servant-hearted love—at the center helps everything else fall into its proper place.Get 30% off all Good Book Guides and For You commentaries at thegoodbook.com with code **GOODBOOK**—or enjoy 40% off during the annual sale from May 5th to May 12th.Find the Conversational Commentaries Series wherever books are sold, or visit crossway.org/conversationalcommentaries to get 30% off with a free Crossway+ account.Watch Us on YouTubeSign up for weekly emails at RebeccaMcLaughlin.org/SubscribeFollow Us on Instagram and XProduced by The Good Podcast Co. | 49m 15s | ||||||
| 1/20/26 |  Should We Abolish Gender? with Rob Smith | Part 1 | Rebecca talks with Anglican minister and theologian Dr. Rob Smith about what “transgender theory” actually claims—and why clarity matters before conversation can even begin.
