The Sheep Gate - Accepting Jesus
The Fish Gate - Evangelizing
The Old Gate - Having faith in God's Word
The Valley Gate - God with us
The Dung Gate - Removing sin
The Fountain Gate - Being refreshed and cleansed
The Water Gate - Reading the Word
The Horse Gate - Looking for Jesus' triumphant return
The East Gate - Waiting for Jesus' return
The Inspection Gate - The judgement
These gates are not just historical references. They have deep symbolic meaning in the Christian walk.

This episode of the Bible Explained Podcast delves into Hebrews 13:7-14, where Jenn emphasizes the importance of scrutinizing leaders and their conduct. The way the American church is set up can promote narcissism, with a single leader at the top, but this is not a scriptural system:
The Bible calls for a system of shared leadership with checks and balances to ensure that no one leader goes off the rails.
Imitate the faith of your leaders, but only if their conduct is in line with Scripture.
Elders should be held to high standards, as seen in 1 Timothy and Titus, where specific guidelines are laid out for who can and cannot be an elder.
The importance of not being carried away by various and strange teachings, and the need to double-check all theology with Scripture.
Christians must separate themselves from the world and its teachings, just as Jesus did when He went outside the camp to suffer for our sins.

Nehemiah has a heart to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem after a long period of exile. But what drove Nehemiah to take on this monumental task, and how did he overcome the obstacles that stood in his way?
In this episode, we explore the early days of Nehemiah's journey, from his conversation with King Artaxerxes to his initial inspection of the walls of Jerusalem. We learn about the challenges he faced, including the ridicule and opposition from neighboring governors who didn't want to see the Israelites succeed. Despite these obstacles, Nehemiah remained steadfast in his faith and determination, and his story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of trusting in God's plan.
Jenn shares some fascinating historical context that sheds light on why King Artaxerxes might have allowed the walls to be built, despite Israel's reputation for rebelling against kings.
If you're looking for a story of faith, perseverance, and courage, you won't want to miss this episode. Join Jenn as she explores the fascinating story of Nehemiah and the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem.

Jenn delves into the importance of brotherly love in the Christian community. This concept is often misunderstood, and many Christians struggle to show love to others, especially when faced with difficult situations or hurtful experiences.
There are 8 different ways every Christian should illustrate brotherly love:
Hospitality to Christian strangers
Standing for the mistreated Christians
Remembering the Christians in prison
Being content with what we have
Letting go of anxiety
Refusing to love money
Honoring marriage
Honoring the marriage bed
Jenn encourages listeners to reflect on their own relationships and consider how they can show brotherly love to those around them, whether it's through a simple act of kindness or a more significant gesture. God's love is a model for our own love, and that we should strive to be like Him in our relationships with others.
If you're looking for a reminder of the importance of love and kindness in your relationships, this episode is a great place to start. Join Jenn as she explores the ways in which we can cultivate brotherly love and build stronger, more meaningful connections with those around us.
