About this listen

 We’re excited to announce that, following the incredible success of our previous season, we’ve launched the next one with another 100 Bible quotes. From now on, episodes will be released weekly, every Sunday. We understand that some may view irony as the devil’s plaything, but here, it’s a tool to ignite curiosity and deepen our understanding of God’s Word—much like Joseph's story in Genesis 50:20 reminds us of the bigger picture.

That’s why we’re thrilled to present *"Holy Contradictions: ❤️ Love, 😡 Hate, ✝️ Faith, and 🙏 Forgiveness in the Bible,"* a podcast hosted by Samuel Hollingsworth. In quick, 1-minute episodes, we explore divine contrasts and essential biblical themes like wisdom, justice, and peace, offering fresh insights that challenge and inspire. With new episodes dropping every Sunday, subscribing makes perfect sense so you don’t miss out on anything. Let’s explore, learn, and grow in faith together! 🌟📖

  • Peace Is Not the Goal — It’s the Path

    Peace Is Not the Goal — It’s the Path
    May 18 2025
    Peace Is Not the Goal — It’s the Path.
    And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." — Philippians 4:6-7
    Anxiety says: "Fix everything, then you’ll feel peace." But Paul says the opposite. Make your requests known before anything changes. The peace shows up in the asking—not the outcome. It’s not passive. It’s armor. A force that guards your mind and heart—while life is still hard. Peace is not a reward. It’s the strategy.
    Don’t chase peace—walk in it. Prayer is self-coaching for the soul. Philippians 4:6-7 is your daily drill.

    New Episodes Every Sunday! Starting now, tune in every Sunday for a fresh episode featuring powerful Bible verses—many of which laid the moral and historical groundwork for today’s self-coaching principles. Scripture didn’t just shape faith; it shaped the way we grow, reflect, and lead ourselves.

  • Stop Comparing. Start Judging… Yourself

    Stop Comparing. Start Judging… Yourself

    Stop Comparing. Start Judging… Yourself.
    We’re told not to judge—but the Bible says, do it anyway. Just aim it at the mirror.
    "Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else." — Galatians 6:4
    We love judging others because it’s easier than examining ourselves. But Paul flips the script: the only pride you’re allowed is from passing your own test.
    Comparison is a shortcut to pride—or self pity. But self-examination? That’s spiritual maturity.
    Stop scrolling. Start reflecting.
    Forget comparison culture—try biblical self-coaching instead. Galatians 6:4 is your mirror. Start there.

  • Jesus welcomed children—but did He set conditions?

    Jesus welcomed children—but did He set conditions?
    May 10 2025
    Jesus welcomed children—but did He set conditions?
    “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
    —Matthew 19:14
    Jesus' invitation to children seems unconditional, yet He often spoke of the kingdom belonging to those who are like children—not necessarily children themselves. This raises questions: Is innocence a prerequisite? Must one embody childlike qualities to be accepted? In a world where children are vulnerable, how do we interpret this in the context of faith and salvation?​
    Reflect on the children in your life and community. Consider how you can support and nurture their spiritual journey.
    Kickstart your morning with a shot of sacred irony. Subscribe to ‘Holy Contradictions’—one bold Bible twist in under a minute, faster than your coffee kicks in.

    "Holy Contradictions: ❤️ Love, 😡 Hate, ✝️ Faith, and 🙏 Forgiveness in the Bible" is a compelling podcast series featuring the voice of Samuel Hollingsworth. Each 1-minute episode delves into the divine dualities within scripture, challenging listeners to rethink their understanding of love, hate, faith, and forgiveness through provocative theses and ironic twists. Every quote comes with a little sidekick explanation that even ten-year-olds can get.

    The series also touches on other significant biblical topics such as wisdom, justice, humility, hope, obedience, salvation, courage, community, repentance, and peace. With vivid imagery and thought-provoking content, "Holy Contradictions" offers a unique and enriching exploration of how these divine contradictions shape our faith and everyday lives.

    We get it – some folks see irony as the devil's plaything. But think of quoting common prejudices as just a sneaky way to spark interest in God's Word. After all, even the smallest of sins can sometimes serve a higher purpose. Remember Joseph's story in Genesis 50:20: "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." Let's keep the curiosity alive, explore the deeper meanings together, and approach each other with tolerance and indulgence. 🌟📖 Let's foster understanding and grow in faith as a community!
