What did John mean when he wrote, “the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified” (John 7:39)? Did the Holy Spirit not exist in the Old Testament? Were believers regenerated before Pentecost?

In this episode of Theology Is Fun, Dr. Corey and Dr. Ben dive into one of the most misunderstood passages about the Holy Spirit. Together they explore:

• The Holy Spirit’s role in the Old Testament
• What actually changed at Pentecost
• The difference between the Old and New Covenants
• Whether Old Testament believers had the Spirit
• Why Jesus had to be glorified before the Spirit was “given”
• The meaning of indwelling, regeneration, and union with Christ

Along the way, they discuss David, Saul, Samson, John 7:39, and why reading one verse in isolation can lead to bad theology.

If you’ve ever wondered:

👉 “Where was the Holy Spirit before Pentecost?”

👉 “Can the Holy Spirit leave a believer?”

👉 “What changed after Jesus’ resurrection?”

—this episode is for you.

Welcome to a special Ireland edition of Theology Is Fun! 🇮🇪

In this episode, Dr. Cori and Dr. Ben sit down in the Irish countryside to unpack one of the most beloved passages in all of Scripture: Psalm 23.

What does “The Lord is my shepherd” really mean?

Was Psalm 23 written for peaceful moments… or seasons of suffering?

And what does it mean to walk through “the valley of the shadow of death” without fear?

Surrounded by sheep, rain, green pastures, and an ancient Irish castle, we dive deep into:

• The true context of Psalm 23
• Why David wrote this psalm during hardship
• Green pastures, still waters, and deep valleys
• God’s guidance through seasons of suffering
• The meaning of “fear no evil”
• Jesus as the fulfillment of Psalm 23 — the Good Shepherd

Whether you’re walking through a difficult season or simply want a deeper understanding of this powerful psalm, we pray this episode encourages you.

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” — Psalm 23:1

What should Christians think about AI? Can tools like ChatGPT actually help believers, or are there spiritual dangers we need to take seriously?

In this episode of Theology Is Fun, we explore the intersection of artificial intelligence, theology, Scripture, wisdom, and Christian discipleship. We talk about whether AI is morally neutral, how believers should use technology wisely, and why AI should never replace God’s Word, biblical meditation, or the work of the Holy Spirit.

We also discuss:

• Can AI replace Bible study?
• Should pastors and teachers use AI?
• Is AI biased?
• How do Christians use technology without becoming dependent on it?
• What are the dangers of using AI uncritically?
• How do we pursue wisdom instead of shortcuts?

Plus… robots playing ping pong, Buddhist AI monks, Tylenol theology, and way too many jokes along the way. 😂
