Bro. Tucson D. Redd, Minister | Heartland Church of Christ
In mid-2020 during the beginning of Covid, many churches across America had either suspended some or all of their in-service Worship and Bible classes due to the pandemic which left many people without the ability to participate in weekly structured Bible study.
This also created a unique opportunity for Heartland Church of Christ to form the “Berean Outreach Bible Class” a weekly online Bible study with a two-fold purpose of offering Church members the opportunity to participate in Bible study from home as well as evangelizing those interested parties who had not been taught the “Good News” of Jesus.
The initial Bible class in March of 2020 started with 2 students but with support of the Mathetis online Bible courses, we were quickly able to reach both intended audiences. 
Mathetis online Bible courses have been very instrumental and effective in meeting our intended objectives of encouraging Church members and teaching the gospel to non-Church members, nationally and internationally.
Over the past five years, Berean Outreach Bible Class grew from the initial 2 participants to currently 25-45 weekly participants.
We have had the opportunity to teach participants in 44 of the 50 states in America as well as Jamaica and Canada.
The Lord has blessed us with multiple baptisms from New York, Texas, Arizona, Illinois, Oklahoma, and Florida.
Attached are images of recent baptisms from Illinois (Olivia Wilder, left) in November 2025 and (Tina Rochelle, right) from Texas in January 2026.
I would like to express our appreciation and continued support from World Bible School for our introduction to the Mathetis Bible courses.

This episode of One More Chapter explores how to properly apply Bible study today by first determining a passage’s original meaning, purpose, principles, and precedents, then bringing those forward without imposing modern customs or values onto the Scripture.
In this episode of One More Chapter, Brian Rex Davis and his co-hosts Noah and Bryson Continue their discussion of the concepts of purpose, principle, and precedent and how they help bridge the gap between meaning and application. They classify different types of biblical precedents—such as accepting both the practice and principle of baptism, retaining principles while adapting culturally bound practices like greetings or modesty, and rejecting both when Scripture indicates—and illustrate necessary inference through Peter’s experience with Cornelius in Acts 10–11.
When Stephenie signed up on the World Bible School website to study the Bible by mail, she couldn’t have known where those lessons would lead. This summer, they led to
This episode of One More Chapter continues the series on Bible study principles for bridging the gap between a passage’s original meaning and its application today. Hosts Brian Rex Davis, Noah Davis, and Bryson Davis review “purpose” and “principle,” then focus on “precedent”, emphasizing how approved apostolic examples establish binding patterns when they carry theological significance—while incidental details do not.
