Host Nick Oyler invites listeners to examine their own relationship with the Bible and to let Scripture become a doorway into deeper encounter with Christ, rather than an end in itself. A “faith sharing” practice helps you pass along a truth from today’s reading to someone else. -

Lectio Divina: An Ancient Way to Meet Jesus in the Scriptures
Article | December 14th, 2025
If you’ve ever wanted to move beyond simply reading the Bible to truly encountering Jesus in its pages, there’s an ancient Christian practice that can help you do just that. It’s called Lectio Divina, which means “Divine Reading” in Latin. This isn’t about rushing through a chapter or filling out a study guide — it’s about slowing down, listening deeply, and letting God’s Word speak directly to your heart. For centuries, followers of Jesus have used Lectio Divina as a way to hear His voice, know Him more intimately, and be transformed by His presence.

Mark Chapter 10
Article | May 19th, 2022
In our upside down way of looking at things, we want to earn our keep. It is common sense that if you work hard, you can achieve whatever you want. However, Jesus teaches that it is not that way with entering God’s Kingdom. No amount of work, charm, merit or money can gain you entrance into God’s Kingdom. Then how do we get in? We let God do the work and trust in Him. It’s that simple, but also that complex because it’s not that easy to trust Him when it’s wired in our brains to pull ourselves up. We have to forget about striving for our gain and embrace giving ourselves away and we will get everything back and more in God’s Kingdom. How hard is this concept to wrap your brain around?
