Bible Caddie Podcast

In this episode the guys explore what the Bible says about the Holy Spirit. Who is He? What does He do in our lives? The Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit is God Himself, the third person of the Trinity. He is the One who converts, convicts, confirms, clarifies, counsels, comforts, gifts, and commissions us. And He is the One who points us to Jesus Christ and makes us more and more like Him. 

In this episode the guys unpack the reality that in Christ, those who have been born again are blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. When we believe the gospel, we get Christ and all His benefits. In this episode we consider what those benefits are and what they mean for us. 

In this episode the guys unpack John 3:1-15 and the essential truth that if

we are going to benefit from what Jesus did in His life, death, and

resurrection, we must be born again.

MASTERS WEEK!

In this episode the guys unpack the most essential truth— the gospel! In real human history, through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, God has done everything necessary to accomplish our salvation. It’s the best news the world has ever known!

In this episode, the guys preview the Masters with 2007 Masters Champ, 2015 Open Champ, and 2022 Ryder Cup Captain Zach Johnson.

In this episode, the guys interview PGA Tour Champ and YouTube Golf Sensation Wesley Bryan on all things golf and faith.

In this episode the guys unpack the essential truth that by what He did, what He called Himself, and what He claimed, Jesus put Himself in a category all by Himself. He is not like other great teachers or religious leaders. And He will not let us settle for thinking that. He is God become man, the One who the Scriptures are about, and the only way to salvation. If we are going to experience His benefits, it’s not enough to simply understand His identity. We must believe in Him. 

In this episode the guys consider Christianity’s most essential truth— Jesus Christ. By unpacking Galatians 4:4-5, we discover that Jesus is fully God and fully man. This uniquely qualifies Him to accomplish our redemption—saving us from sin, restoring our brokenness, and providing the satisfaction we were made for!

In this episode the guys unpack Ecclesiastes 2:1-11 and King Solomon’s search for satisfaction. As the wealthiest, most powerful man in the world, Solomon had the ability to go anywhere or do anything to find the good life that he was looking for. So where did he look? And what did he find? What can we learn from him? That's what we'll discover in today’s episode.

In this episode the guys unpack Romans 3:9-20. That passage tells us the sobering news that we are all sinners both by nature and by choice. No part of us is untouched by sin. This not only leaves us broken, it also leaves us guilty. And it offends the God who made us and to whom we are accountable. On our own, there’s nothing we can do to fix this problem. This bad news sets the stage for the Christian gospel. 

In this episode the guys unpack Genesis 3 and the essential truth that we

are broken people who live in a broken world. When our first parents

sinned, everything fractured. Our relationship to ourselves broke. Our

relationship with God broke. Our relationship with one another broke. And

our relationship with creation broke. Further, sin brought death to each of

us and banished us from God’s presence. The devastating events of the

fall explain the reality of our existence. We are broken people living in a

broken world. All this sets the stage for God’s redemption.

In this episode, the guys unpack Genesis 1:26-28 and the essential truth that we are made in the image of God. Above all earthly creatures, humanity alone is fit to have dominion over God’s creation because of our unique intellectual, moral, and spiritual capacities. Further, as image bearers, we are designed to relate to others and to God in deep, committed relationships. Every single human being then is of great value and worthy of dignity and respect.Joining us for this conversation is special guest NFL Tight End Colby Parkinson.

In this episode, the guys interview East Carolina baseball player Parker Byrd, the first ever D-1 baseball player with a prosthetic limb. Parker’s story is an incredible story of faith, perseverance, and hope.

In this episode of Essentials, the guys discuss the steadfast love of the LORD from Psalm 103. Because of who He is— a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love— and because of what He does— He loves us in our suffering, our sin, and our weakness— God’s people and all creation should bless the LORD!

In a series called Essentials, we are considering essential truths from essential passages. In today’s episode, based on Isaiah 6, the guys unpack the reality that God is holy— He is set apart from humanity, genuinely other than us, and completely pure in all that He is.

In a new series called Essentials, the guys are considering essentials truth from essential passages. In today’s episode, based on Psalm 19, the guys unpack the reality that the real God is a God who speaks both through His creation and through His Word.

In the 100th episode of the Bible Caddie Podcast, the guys interview golf legend Bernhard Langer!

In this episode, the guys unpack James 5:12-20. In these verses, James gives his final instructions of his letter. In closing, he exhorts his readers to speak truthfully, to live lives of prayer, and to bring back their wandering brothers. All this is characteristic of the wholehearted, consistent life that God desires for His people.

In this episode, the guys unpack James 5:1-11. In these verses, James reassures his readers that Jesus is coming back. For the unbelieving rich who have oppressed believers and lived to indulge themselves, that means severe judgment. For Christians, that means blessing. In light of that reality, we are to wait patiently for the coming of the Lord, following in the footsteps of the people of God who came before us.

Welcome back to the Bible Caddie Podcast! In this Thanksgiving week episode, William Kane & Webb Simpson talk about decision making as a Christian.

In this episode, the guys unpack James 4:13-17. In these verses, James lays out the do’s and don’t’s of making plans. To leave God out of our plans is both foolish and arrogant. As Christians, we should plan with God in mind, depending on Him both to make and execute our plans. 

In this episode, the guys unpack James 4:1-12. There’s hardly a more relevant passage in the entire Bible to help us navigate our conflicts with others and with God. These verses answer questions like— Where does conflict come from? How big of a deal is it? How does God respond to us in our conflicts? And when we find ourselves in conflict, what should we do to course correct?

In this episode, the guys unpack James 3:13-18. This passage contrasts worldly wisdom and Biblical wisdom. Worldly wisdom is from below and is even demonically influenced. It shows up in jealousy and selfish ambition. And over time, it produces bad fruit in our lives. Biblical wisdom, on the other hand, is from above, from God. It produces meekness in our hearts that expresses itself in good conduct. And it produces a harvest of righteousness.

In this episode, the guys unpack James 3:1-12. In these verses, James explains the power and danger of our speech. As Christians, our speech should be consistent with what we claim to believe. And yet, so often, our speech reveals that we have a divided heart. But the gospel gives us hope! Because Jesus died for our sins of speech, like every other sin, we can begin to put off our old way of speaking to and we can begin to honor the Lord and others with what we say. 

In this episode, the guys unpack one of the most controversial passages in the New Testament, James 2:14-26. These verses shows us that true faith travels with works. It's not simply enough to say the right things or even to know the right things. If faith is genuine, it will ultimately result in action.

In this episode, the guys are joined by 5-time PGA Tour winner Jonathan Byrd. After some banter with J Byrd, the guys unpack James 2:1-13. In these verses, James instructs his readers not to show partiality. He then gives a number of reasons why this is incompatible with Biblical Christianity. Showing partiality contradicts God's character, ways, law, and judgment. If we are going to live wholehearted lives like James desires, we must reject partiality as well.

In this Bonus Coverage Episode, the guys discuss how we can fight sin in our lives. To fight sin effectively, we must come clean, enlist help, avoid temptation, resist temptation, and set our hearts on Jesus.

In this episode, after a Presidents Cup recap, the guys unpack James 1:19-27. In these verses, James instructs his readers how we are to relate to God's Word. Not only are believers to receive God's Word with meekness, but we are to be careful to put it into practice in our lives. When we do, God's blessing is sure to follow.

In this episode, Webb, Ben, and William are joined by special guest Bubba Watson. The guys talk all things Bubba, from Masters wins to life on the LIV Tour to the Presidents Cup to marriage and family. The episode culminates by unpacking and applying one of Bubba’s favorite Bible verses— Romans 15:7. It says, “Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.”

In this episode in our series on the book of James, the guys unpack James 1:13-18. Trials often travel with temptations. And if we are not careful, we can be tempted to blame God. In this passage, James commands us not to do that, and he explains why we shouldn't temptations do not come from God. Quite the contrary, they originate with us. The unchanging God, on the other hand, only ever gives good gifts, the best of which is our salvation. Keeping these realities before us will enable us to remain faithful and steadfast under trial.

In this episode, in our series on the book of James, the guys unpack James 1:9-12. After offering basic instruction on how to respond to trials in general in James 1:2-8, James now addresses a specific trial or test that his readers are facing. Some are impoverished and others are rich. Though it may not appear this way on the surface, both of these conditions— adversity and prosperity— provide unique temptations. As a result, they must be treated with unique solutions. In James 1:9-12, James informs each group as to how they are to navigate their situation. And he offers wonderful motivation to the one who remains steadfast in his trial.

We are starting a new series today on the book of James. Over the next few months, our plan is to walk verse by verse through this short and straightforward, but sometimes controversial New Testament book.

In the first episode of our series on the book of James, the guys unpack James 1:1-8. James, the half-brother of Jesus wrote to Jewish Christians scattered across the Roman Empire to instruct them how to handle the trials that they were facing.

Although many of their trials are different than the ones we face, the way to approach trials remains the same. We are to count them all joy because God is using them to make us like Christ.

In this episode of the Bible Caddie Podcast, Webb and William are joined by special guest, Sean Martin, PGATour.com lead editor. In the first half of the episode, the guys recap the best stories from the 2024 season and make picks for the Tour Championship. In the second half of the episode, they unpack one of Sean’s favorite passages— Revelation 3:14-22. Though these instructions were given to Turkish Christians nearly 2,000 years ago, they are highly relatable to Christians in the West who face the temptation to put our trust in worldly comfort, accomplishment, and outward appearances.

In this episode of our series called Pillars: Verses to Build Your Life On, the guys are joined by Pastor David Gibson from Aberdeen, Scotland to unpack Psalm 23. In this short but profound chapter, we are told who the LORD is and who He is for us. These verses comfort the weary, strengthen the weak, put courage into the fearful, and bolster us to face whatever may come our way. In the end, Psalm 23 reminds us that God is with us, pursuing us with His goodness and mercy until one day He brings us home.

In this episode of our series called Pillars: Verses to Build Your Life On, the guys unpack Philippians 4:6-7. Anxiety is more of a problem than it has ever been. Thankfully, God has given us clear instructions in His Word for how to combat. Instead of being anxious, we are to present all of our requests to God in prayer. When we do, He promises to provide us with His peace that goes beyond what we can comprehend. In this episode, we discuss what this means and how to do it. 

In this episode of our series called Pillars: Verses to Build Your Life On, the guys unpack Jesus’ words from John 15:5. In these verses, Jesus tells us who He is and who we are in relation to Him. He is the vine, we are the branches. It is only as we stay connected to Him that we will bear fruit. The guys talk about what this means and how it happens.
