Baptismal Blind Spot
In this episode of Tough Text, Daniel Price and Scott Keith explore Acts 19 and unpack the relationship between baptism, the Holy Spirit, and speaking in tongues. The conversation explains why the disciples in Ephesus only knew John the Baptist's baptism, how Christian baptism delivers the Holy Spirit through the means of grace, and why ignorance of doctrine is not the same thing as rejecting it. They also discuss the purpose of tongues in the early church, connecting the spread of the Gospel to God overcoming language barriers and gathering the nations together through the proclamation of Jesus Christ.

Seven Detestable Sins (Proverbs 6:16-19)
In this episode of Tough Texts, Dan Price and Scott Keith dive into Proverbs 6:16–19, unpacking the surprising list of seven things God hates—and why pride, gossip, scheming, and discord strike closer to home than we might expect. They discuss how everyday sins like haughtiness, false witness, and rushing toward evil reveal the deeper condition of the human heart. Yet the conversation ultimately turns to hope, showing how the very sins God condemns are the ones Christ takes upon himself.

Faith and Fundraising? (Luke 21:1-4)
In this episode of Tough Text, Daniel Price and Scott Keith examine Jesus' teaching about the widow's offering in Luke 21, challenging the common use of the passage as a fundraising sermon. Rather than praising sacrificial giving as a financial model, they argue that Jesus is exposing a corrupt religious system that exploits the vulnerable—especially widows whom the church was meant to protect. The widow's gift becomes both an example of genuine faith and a quiet indictment of leaders who devour the weak while appearing righteous. Ultimately, the discussion calls the church to care for its own, showing that faithful stewardship includes protecting and providing for those in need rather than demanding more from them.

Anger Management (Proverbs 29: 22-27)
In this episode of Tough Texts, Daniel Price and Scott Keith wrap up their discussion of Proverbs 29, highlighting how unchecked anger and pride fuel sin. They explore how both sins of commission and omission weigh on the conscience, emphasizing the need for confession and absolution rather than self-justification. The conversation also challenges the tendency to place ultimate hope in earthly rulers, reminding listeners that true justice comes only from the Lord. Ultimately, the episode drives home how Proverbs confronts every listener with the law, calling for repentance and pointing to Christ as the only source of forgiveness and safety.

Proverbial Parenting (Proverbs 29:17–20)

The discussion also highlights the importance of disciplined speech, reminding Christians that even true words spoken hastily can reveal the sinful desire for self-justification rather than faith working through love.
