Episode 227: What Does the Bible Say About Polygamy?
In today’s episode, we’re tackling a topic that challenges cultural norms and theological assumptions: polygamy. What was once considered a fringe practice in the U.S. is now gaining more visibility, prompting questions about marriage, ethics, and faith.
What does the Bible say and how should Christians understand this subject? In the Old Testament we see polygamy in practice among patriarchs and kings who had multiple wives –but how did God perceive that? Are there instances in which God condones the practice?
To help us navigate this topic, we’re joined by missiology professor James Fyffe, a missionary himself, who spent time ministering in cultures where polygamy is a longstanding tradition. Today we will look to God’s word to find out not only what the Bible says about polygamy, but how this question may impact people in ministry and on the mission field. James, welcome to the show.

Episode 201: What is Biblical Fasting & Why Do We Do It?
Throughout the Old Testament, we find holy men and women who committed themselves to the work of prayer and fasting. People like Moses, King David, Ahab, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, and the Jewish people. Fasting was employed as they sought forgiveness from egregious sins that they'd committed or when loved ones needed restoration for health issues, when people needed protection from danger or needed protection from their enemies.
Fasting is not just a phenomenon of the Old Testament. Fasting continues to be recognized as an important way to draw near to God and to seek his face in times of hardship and trouble. Today, Provost of Living Faith Bible Institute Brandon Briscoe has invited Pastor James Fyffe to discuss what the Bible says about fasting. James is a professor of Missiology at the LFBI, as well as professor of nursing at Rockhurst University.
