God is Not Angry at You!
"Grace" Can't Possibly Mean "Unmerited Favor" - Clyde Pilkington In today’s conversation, we dive into something that has absolutely reshaped our understanding of Paul, the gospel, and the entire revelation of God’s purpose: the true meaning of "charis." For years, many of us were taught that "grace" simply means “unmerited favor.” But when you actually follow the Greek, the etymology, the family of related words, and—most importantly—the context of how Scripture uses it, you quickly discover something breathtaking: Charis is joy. Not guilt-based kindness. Not reluctant acceptance. Not unmerited pity. But joy—God’s own delight, His happiness, His pleasure, His overflowing goodness toward His creation. And once you see that, you can’t unsee it. In this video, we walk through how "charis" operates in Scripture, why “unmerited favor” simply does not fit the contexts where "charis" appears, and how Paul’s entire message becomes clearer, brighter, and more beautiful when translated through the lens of divine joy. This changes how we read Ephesians, how we understand Paul’s ministry, and how we see God Himself. Thank you for joining us in this Study Bible journey. Thank you for praying, supporting, and encouraging us. And thank you for wanting to know the truth—not the traditions handed down, but the glorious revelation God delights to give His children. Let’s step into joy together. http://www.StudyShelf.com #GraceIsJoy #Charis #StudyBibleProject #PaulineTruth #Ephesians #GodsJoy #DivineRealization #UnsearchableRiches #GreekWordStudy #BibleStudy #SovereigntyOfGod #GraceNotWorks #JoyOfGod #BibleLearning #HiddenTruths #FreedomJourney #GraceDude #TheRealGospel #ScriptureContext #ChristianityReexamined #unmeritedfavor #grace

Restoration Through Chaos
Do you know what’s worse than telling a child there’s a Santa Claus? Telling them there’s a God who might burn them forever. One lie creates seasonal wonder. The other creates lifelong fear. This video gently unpacks why the doctrine of hell isn’t just theologically unsupported—it’s psychologically damaging, especially for children whose brains aren’t built to handle terror. Modern research from places like Harvard and Stanford shows that fear-based religious messages activate the same trauma pathways as chronic stress. And for many adults, that early wiring still shapes how they see God, themselves, and the world. But there is a better story. Scripture calls us God’s offspring—loved, held, and known. Judgment restores. Fire purifies. Death is temporary. And in the end, God becomes all in all. If you grew up afraid of God, this video will help you breathe again. You’re not broken. You were taught fear instead of love. And love—real love—heals. 🌟 You were never destined for torment. 🌟 You were always destined for restoration. 🌟 And God has already written a beautiful ending for you. http://www.StudyShelf.com Grace Dude Productions | Making Grace Impossible to Ignore!  Content by Steve Martin | Audios & Visuals designed with AI  https://gracedude.com/ #Christmas #SpiritualTrauma #ReligiousTrauma #HellDoctrine #GodIsLove #UniversalRestoration #GraceNotFear #HealingFromReligion #DeconstructingHell #UnconditionalLoveOfGod #NoMoreFear #PsychologyAndFaith #JesusRevealsGod #AllInAll #FreedomJourney #LeavingFearFindingGrace

Endless Love and Joy
Most Christians were told Jesus lived consciously long before Bethlehem. But Scripture paints a far simpler, far more powerful picture. Both Matthew and Luke root Jesus’ origin—His actual beginning—right in Mary’s womb. Not in eternity past. Not as a divine Person waiting to incarnate. His genesis was His conception. This chapter walks through the evidence with clarity and confidence: Matthew calls it “the genesis of Jesus Christ,” Luke says He was being generated, and the prophets expected a truly human Messiah—David’s descendant, Adam’s equal, and our Kinsman-Redeemer. If you’ve ever wondered what the Bible really says about Jesus’ beginning, this study will bring fresh peace, fresh clarity, and fresh awe.

Grace Over Guilt
Today we’re exploring one of the most fascinating—and for many, eye-opening—ways of understanding the Bible: the idea that God has been running different administrations throughout history, and that the one we belong to today is something entirely new, revealed only after Acts 28. If you’ve ever wondered why so many biblical promises seem directed to Israel… or why the Bible sometimes feels like it has two different storylines… this perspective offers a powerful explanation. It shows how God paused Israel’s prophetic, earthly program and unveiled a completely new calling—one that was hidden for ages and revealed only through Paul. In this episode, we walk through: • Why believers today aren’t part of Israel’s earthly kingdom • What actually happened in Acts 28—and why it changes everything • What the “secret” or “mystery” administration really is • Why Jew/Gentile distinctions disappear in the one new man • How our destiny shifts from earth to the highest heavens • Why so much confusion in Christianity comes from mixing two different programs This isn’t about arguing theology. It’s about discovering clarity—understanding where we fit in God’s plan, why our calling is so radically different, and how the message given to Paul reveals our true identity, hope, and destiny. If the Bible has ever felt confusing or contradictory… this framework might make everything finally click into place.

Instead, it gently explores the real story behind the birth of Jesus, why His arrival happened exactly “in the fullness of time,” and how God prepared the world for that perfect moment. No arguments, no pressure—just clarity, encouragement, and a reminder that the same God who timed Jesus’ arrival is timing every detail of your life. Enjoy the season… and enjoy the truth.

Most of us were taught the Trinity without ever questioning it: one God in three co-equal, co-eternal persons. But when you slow down and let Scripture speak for itself, the picture becomes far simpler—and far more beautiful. In this short doodle video, we look at five common lies Christians believe about the Trinity and why they don’t hold up when compared to the actual words of Jesus, the apostles, and the Hebrew Scriptures. You’ll discover: ⭐ Why Jesus said the Father is “greater than I” ⭐ Why the Holy Spirit is God’s power, not a third divine person ⭐ What the Bible really teaches about God’s identity ⭐ How a man-made doctrine became the foundation of modern Christianity ⭐ And why the truth is simpler than you were ever told Book: No Equals!
