How to Complain To God 1 Welcome to Gospel Rant! (Also check it out on YouTube (DrBillSenyard) Happy Palm Sunday 2026. Most are spending this season on the Cross, Jesus’ powerful bold choice to suffer, and redemption, atonement and resurrection—as it should be. I am going to fill in one of the nasty dirty cracks of the Cross. How Jesus suffered as a model for how we should deal with our times of suffering that inevitably come to us. How are we to complain to God when the bottom drops out? Wh...

Welcome to Gospel Rant! Dr. Bill is going to look at Job’s frustration with God and how he tries to deal with Him. We will see what you think. Here’s my rough translation of 7:20, So, Man-Watcher- so let’s say hypothetically that I did fall short of perfection (which I am not pleading guilty to at all), in the big scheme of things, what real difference does it really make to you? What could I have even possibly done to warrant such a beating? Has the strenuous oppression worn you out? Rather, ...

The Gospel According to Job 4 Welcome to Gospel Rant! Dr. Bill is going to suggest that a helpful way to look at the book of Job is a dual sting, a two way con. Satan is trying to con God using Job—but in a bigger sense God is conning Satan—using Job. Messy? Yep. Unnerving? Yep—not the way we usually think of God, and yet…It makes a lot of sense.

The Gospel According to Job 3 Welcome to Gospel Rant! Dr. Bill is going to suggest that we have misunderstood how we are to ‘win’ in our Christian walk. It is not about the Retributive Principle at all. In fact, the clue is found all the way back in Genesis. Here’s one very provocative quote in this show. “Faith says that God’s wisdom is such that there is a possibility that going through hell could be part of an elaborate loving gift of God to one he wants to reward.” Both wildly troubling ...

Introduction to the Book of Job

This is Part 7 of our series: The Church the Holy Spirit Built. Luke continues to highlight the powerful themes shaping this early movement—based on legitimate eyewitness accounts. There was a surprising unity, a deep sense of shared purpose, radical generosity, and undeniable power. So what was going on? If I had to sum it up for Theophilus, I’d simply say: “…and much grace was upon them all.” (Acts 4:33, NIV) In context, charis refers to the experienced favor of God—poured out over the ga...

Remember how this whole series began? Luke is writing to Theophilus—likely to explain what got into those original disciples of Jesus… and what kept driving the movement over the next 30 years, transforming it into an international phenomenon unlike anything the world had ever seen. And now, Luke turns up the volume even more. 👉 Like 👉 Share 👉 Comment 👉 Subscribe Your interaction helps this message reach more people!

This is Part 5 of our series: The Church the Holy Spirit Built. I’m continually amazed by the transformation of Peter. Who told him he could heal a crippled man? What if it hadn’t worked? What if he became a public joke? Wouldn’t it have been safer—and more practical—to just start a GoFundMe for the guy? And yet, there he is. Bold. Unfiltered. Taking a wild, Spirit-led risk. Honestly, don’t you imagine Peter was just as shocked as everyone else? I can almost see John turning to him, eyebrows r...

This is Part 4 of our series: The Church the Holy Spirit Built. What we see here is the visible DNA of Jesus and His Spirit—actively moving through and motivating ordinary people. Because of His presence, these regular folks—people just like us—began to show signs of something radically new: A deep and undeniable devotion to the gospel (proskateresis)—a prioritization that hadn’t been there before. A surprising unity of thought, intention, purpose, and vision (homothumadon)—in stark contrast t...

This episode features Chapter 4 of my new book, Before the Couch—specifically Tip #3: “You Can’t Do It!” Before the Couch is now available on Amazon, Kindle, and Audible. It’s not another “try harder” marriage book—the kind you’ve probably already read if your marriage has been struggling. And honestly, how’s that worked out so far? This book takes a different approach—one that has already helped many Christian couples who were on the brink of calling a divorce lawyer. You might be wondering, ...

Thanks for the great feedback from the last show on Chapter 2 of my newest book, Before the Couch. It is available now on Amazon, Kindle, and Audible. It is not meant to take the same approach as so many other books that, if you are a struggling marriage, you;’ve probably tried. And how’s that going for you. The approach in Before the Couch has helped lots of Christian couples that came to be ready to call a divorce lawyer. Now, you might be asking, “Why another marriage book?” That’s fair. Th...

I’m taking a quick pause in our current series to share some exciting news: my brand-new book for struggling Christian couples, Before the Couch, launches October 1st on Amazon, Kindle, and Audible. Over the next three episodes, you’ll actually hear three of the most practical and encouraging chapters from the book—right here on the show. My prayer is that this becomes a trusted resource for churches and couples everywhere. Now, you might be asking, “Why another marriage book?” That’s fair. Th...

This is the third in our series “The Church The Holy Spirit Built.” The 120 Jesus-followers each individually had some entity that looked to eye-witnesses like tongues of fire come upon them as they were praying at the first of three daily prayer times, during the annual feast of Pentecost. They were crammed into an upper room in the Jerusalem area. Where, according to eyewitness testimony, they each individually were “filled with the Spirit.” Then something happened because the next scene is al...

This is the second in our series “The Church The Holy Spirit Built.” Theophilus has contracted Luke to document from living sources what was it in the first thirty years of this new Jesus-movement that caused it to explode throughout the known world in a variety of cultures, demographics, and countries equally—especially among the downtrodden, overlooked and oppressed—that brought hope, honor, and feelings of love. I want to know too, don’t you? Don’t be tempted to buy that worn out trope that a...

Dr. Bill is beginning a new series on the very important first five chapters of the book of Acts. We call it "The Church The Holy Spirit Built.” Luke is writing the historic overview of the church likely under a commission from a wealthy supporter, Theophilus (God-Lover). Why was Theophilus interested? Because the story of the church in those first months and years was unprecedented, the lives changed, people healed, and even society norms challenged and tossed on their heads. “Luke, what in the...

Welcome to our new God’s Love for the Unlovable and Gospel Rant series and format. We are calling the series Vagabond Diaries. We want it to be fun, informative, and life-changing—something that you would find valuable to pass on to others and laugh and cry together a bit. This is a lady who I highlight in my third Dance Daughters of the Most High book. Most people have just never heard of her. But she was important enough to the Apostle John to write her a letter. She must have been something....
