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. -
Day 1 - Luke 1:1-4 Certainty in Jesus
Article | January 1st, 2026
This year, we’re going to slow down. We’re going to breathe. We’re going to open the Scriptures, not just to read them — but to meet Jesus in them.

There’s an ancient Christian practice that will guide us. It’s called Lectio Divina — “Divine Reading.” It’s not about rushing through verses or checking off a reading plan. It’s about creating space to listen… really listen… to the voice of God speaking through His Word. -

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?

Matthew Chapter 24
Article | May 2nd, 2022
That is the theme of this chapter. However, the conspiracy theorist in me wants to figure out the details of the end of time, who, what where, and especially WHEN? But Jesus just gives us a you’ll know it when you see it answer and tells us to keep going and keep spreading the kingdom message. Keep going even when you just don’t feel like it. It’s that locker room pep talk when you’re down by 50 at half time, keep chipping away and we will win in the end, it’s going to be ugly, but stick with it. It’s the kind of speech that we all need even though we want to figure out if there is a rapture, who’s in and who’s out, and who is the big baddy antichrist, but Jesus tells us to keep going and keep looking and I’ll take care of the rest.

Sermon on the Mount Part 6
Article | April 9th, 2022
Verses one through five should be the new rules for social media. It might tone down some of the sniping and canceling that goes on these days. This section of the sermon is so timely for our culture and it is a strong reminder that we are definitely flying upside down in this area today. If just “Christian” people would live this out, we would see a huge difference in the way we treat one another in our culture. I also love how the golden rule is restated here in the Message. It makes so much sense and the idea of taking the initiative to do good to others is another one that if we actually did it, we could change our communities. This is the whole reason that I am doing this podcast, so that we can look into the mirror of scripture and let it change us. I know that I need to cut the sarcasm and attitude before I point out what’s wrong with you. This is what I’m asking God to help me work on. What needs to be changed in your life?

Acts Chapter 28
Article | March 30th, 2022
I love the last 2 sentences of the book of Acts, “He explained everything about Jesus Christ. His door was always open” (Acts 28:31 The Message). I want that to be said of me. What about you?
