Do you want to know the Bible better?

Do you think maybe the Bible has answers about why the world is so nuts and what is soon to come?

• (or have gone in the past) -

3/7/24 Join us on Locals.com! "Not Your Parents’ Planet Earth" part 4
Today on Something’s Happening Here, we’ll be exclusively at somethingshappeninghere.locals.com. All week we’ve been looking at the strange ways that our modern world fundamentally differs from that of our parents’ just one generation ago. On Locals today we’ll look at the theology of why this all must happen, what it all means, and what to expect going forward. I hope you can join us! And come back tomorrow for our final show of the week, in all the regular places.

My oh my, how things have changed! This week on our seventh episode of Season Four, we try to counteract the modern short attention span by comparing modernity against the recent past. Whatever will we discover?

7/14/24 "Missed Me" S4LE2
What goes through your head when a bullet grazes your ear? Well, thankfully – not the bullet! Good grief! While it’s true that anyone with a prophetic sense of our closeness to Christ’s promised return knew that Trump vs. Biden Season Two was going to be full of twist and surprises, did anyone see an assassination attempt coming in the script? Well you know, actually I’m sure many did, because Donald J. Trump poses a real and existential threat to his enemies, and they’ve proven many times that they’re willing to stop at nothing to neutralize that threat. But what’s really going on here? Is this the Democrats showing their true colors? Is it an elaborate right-wing vote grab? Might we be wrestling with “principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this age, and spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places?” Welcome to another Live episode of Something’s Happening Here, because we couldn’t wait for a new Season to discuss the Trump ...

6/12/24 "More Important Than Ever to Know Scripture" S4LE1
Today on Something’s Happening Here – what? I thought the show was on a production break?? Well yes, friends, but Jesus is still coming soon, and the spiritual side of current events keep demanding our attention. So today we’re coming to you Live, unedited, with no theme music or on-screen graphics; to discuss Mr. Russell Brand’s conversion a couple months in, and how it can help us understand the need for Biblical clarity on the gospel, the movement of the Holy Spirit, and prophecy. We’ll also revisit Asbury University today, and for the same reasons. Jesus warns that faith will be confusing in the days before He returns, and we want to understand clearly why that is, and what to do about it. I’m Steve Hicks, Director of Podcast Ministries for Talking Donkey International. Welcome to our first experimental Live show.

5/24/24 "In Defense of the Scripture" part 3 S4E16p3
Today on Something’s Happening Here, we end Season Four in the book of Revelation. All week we’ve been arguing In Defense of the Scripture, and today we’ll look to the prophetic future to see why this question is so important. Prophecy reveals that the deceptions to come will be so strong that the whole world will fall into error, as well as what God’s people are to do to avoid it. But how can you know Bible prophecy without knowing the Bible? Many people who claim the name Christian today are in for a big surprise when prophecy becomes reality, and at Talking Donkey International we pray that you’ll be among those who respond to God’s final call in Revelation 18:4, because otherwise “You’ll Follow Babylon Straight to Hellfire If You Don’t Know Bible Prophecy.” Grab your Bibles and let’s learn how to avoid that!
