The Heise Brothers' Devotional Podcast

In The Beginning

In this devotional podcast episode, David and Jonathan Heise explore the origins of the universe as encountered in the book of Genesis. From the first encounter with the Creator to the process of creation itself, the first chapter of Genesis reveals much about the Judeo-Christian belief system, and its origins. And the implications of the creation account are as relevant to our lives today as they were thousands of years ago. 

Adam and Eve

In this episode the Heise Brothers continue their foray into Genesis and take a deep dive into chapter 2, therein discussing the origins of humanity, the garden of Eden, and God's first commandment. Join us as we explore the mysteries surrounding the events of creation and their ever-pertinent implications for our lives to this day.

The Fall

In this episode the Heise brothers explore one of the darkest chapters in human history: humanity's first sin and its resulting consequences. From the first temptations and motivation to the brutal repercussions, this careful examination of the fall intimately captures the dark heart of the human condition; that of hubris and greed. The brothers also take a close look at the true nature of God's curse on Adam and Eve, and reveal a little known truth behind the expulsion from Eden.

Cain and Abel

Murder, He wrote! In this episode of The Heise Brothers devotional podcast, David and Jonathan take a deep dive into the story of Cain and Abel, and the first murder. As humanity begins to flourish, envy, jealousy and rage begin to take hold in Adam and Eve's firstborn. Just as God called Cain to righteousness and later repentance, so he calls us today to the same acts of devotion. What will be your response?

Science and the Bible

In this episode of the Heise Brothers Devotional podcast, David and Jonathan explore the deeper questions behind our understanding of scripture as a whole, and how they relate to a scientific understanding of the universe. Should the Bible be taken completely literally, even for stories like Noah's Ark? Or are there elements that may be rooted in historical fact, but have grown to mythic proportions though the ancient style of storytelling? And if there are, what does that mean for us as we read scripture? Join us as we tackle these, and other fundamental questions of Science and the Bible.

Noah and the Flood

In this episode of the Devotional Podcast, the Heise Brothers discuss the Biblical flood as recorded in the book of Genesis. From God's apparent regrets to the Noahic covenant, the theology of the flood achieves greater depths than we might expect from this classic Sunday school story. Join us as we dive into Noah and the Flood.
