“More Geek, More Joy”
We’re back! It’s time to wrap up our Seven Sermon Summer Surfin’ Spectatular, and we’re honestly more excited than ever to jump back behind the mics. Over the summer break, we spent a few days together in a two-man retreat full of some reflection on the Scriptures, some real talk about where we both needed to grow, and some serious geeking out about what’s next!
The big theme for the whole season is joy — and that’s not just the subject matter, it’s a goal we’re bringing to all the topics. We’re really proud of last spring’s Square One guided study, but now we’re ready to talk to each other about topics that fascinate us, questions that intrigue us, and all the Bible nuggets we’ve been mining but haven’t gotten a chance to talk with each other about. So we’re bringing back the fun with a collection of episodes we designed to engage, encourage, and, of course, get a little nerdy!
Here’s What’s Happening This Season:
Some loosely themed episodes around what it means to live a joy-filled life, starting right out of the gate in September.
Our nerdiest month ever: a five-episode deep dive into some wonderfully geeky topics for
Bible Geektober.Conversations on everything from burnout and contentment to angels, dragons, and artificial intelligence.
Kicking Off with Joy (September)
We’re launching the Fall ’25 season by diving headfirst into our main theme with an episode on Joy vs. Happiness. From there, we’ll explore some stuff we hope will get your gears turning, including how Christ redeems our past, present, and future in Trapped in Time and a conversation we both are needing right now on Elijah finding Grace for Burnout.
Get Ready for Bible Geektober!
We’re dedicating all of October to our nerdiest pursuits. Get ready for Bible Geektober — now with more geek! We have some really fun conversations planned, including Digital Deacons: AI, a look at Snakes and Dragons in the Bible, and an episode we’re calling They Might Be Giants.
Big Questions About God’s Work in Our Lives
This fall and winter, we’re looking forward to talking about some of our big questions, about Prayer, Providence, and Angels. We’ll also have a Joshua and Caleb Face-off in November, and in December we’re applying some of these lessons with episodes on the Secret of Contentment from Philippians and Hope and Gratitude to complete a season we hope brings a little extra “joy” to all of us.
Happy Days Ahead!
As a Snoopy notebook in Bryan’s house reminded him — there are “Happy Days Ahead!” We hope in a Lord who always brings a good end, even in our roughest times. We have so much to gratefully rejoice in, through Christ. So more than just a collection of topics, this season’s an invitation to find more joy in the way we read Scripture (and talk to each other about it!) and in how we face each day. We’re so thankful you’re still listening and engaging with us and can’t wait to explore God’s word with you again.
— Shalom! from Ryan & Bryan (The Bible Geeks)
