Episode 152: Mark Chapter 1
Episode | May 7th, 2022 | Season 2 | 8 mins 30 secs
audio bible, daily bible, daily devotional, personal development, prayer, self care, solitude and silence, spiritual journey, spirituality
In this chapter, the action comes fast and furious, it’s kind of like how I like to read on audible when I’m reading along, cranked up to 3x speed. You can just feel how fast things are happening and then while it was still dark, Jesus got away from everyone to pray and we catch our breath. That moment just speaks to my heart and reminds me of how important it is to get away from the speed of life and the crush of people to just be with God on 1x speed or slower. The other thing that jumped off of the page to me was that Jesus touched a leper. You never touched a leper, because it would transfer over to you and you would be unclean too. But Jesus touched him and transferred his wholeness to the man. That is so cool, God is here and he has come to make us whole.

Episode 131: Matthew Chapter 9
Episode | April 13th, 2022 | Season 2 | 5 mins 53 secs
audio bible, daily bible, daily devotional, personal development, prayer, self care, spiritual direction, spiritual journey, spirituality
What strikes me the most in this chapter is Jesus’ heart for those on the outside of the religious elite. He seeks out the down and out and those far from religious purity and he eats with them, has compassion on them, heals them and urges his followers to pray for them and for workers to reach them with news of his kingdom. He is not following the normal procedures of the religious elite, he is announcing that everyone is welcome in his kingdom. The question that comes to mind is if I am learning from Jesus, am I as concerned about those on the outside as Jesus is?

We are going to change things up a little in this new season, instead of changing translations every week, we are going to stick with the Message for the whole season. I am also going to read the introduction to the book of Matthew from the Message before I read the first chapter of the book. I will do the same for the other books too. I am also going to be adding more bonus episodes, more guest readers and guest conversations about following Jesus. Thank you so much for being a part of this journey with me. We are back at Matthew chapter 1, so lets dive in…

Episode 111: Acts Chapter 21
Episode | March 22nd, 2022 | Season 1 | 6 mins 42 secs
audio bible, daily bible, journey, mission, prayer, spiritual journey, spirituality
This chapter reminds me of Jesus’ last trip to Jerusalem and his passion story. However, this story has the pattern that we have seen of resistance to the message, but God moving the message forward. Paul is sure of his mission and twice he has to tear himself away from the tears of his friends.
I love how this chapter ends with Paul taking advantage of an opportunity to address the crowd so he can spread the message of Jesus. I have two things that I want us to ponder today. First, how sure are we of our mission? Second, how often do we take advantage of our opportunities to share the message of Jesus? -
Episode 110: Acts Chapter 20
Episode | March 21st, 2022 | Season 1 | 6 mins 20 secs
audio bible, daily bible, investing, jesus, prayer, preaching, sharing, spiritual formation, spiritual journey
I love the story of Eutychus falling asleep and falling from the third story window. I can imagine his eyelids just slowly getting more and more heavy. Then he falls to his death. I love that Paul picks him up and says that he’s alive and goes back to teaching. This shows us the determination of Paul to invest in these disciples so they can spread the message. Investing in others with the Gospel message is an integral part of following Jesus. I am investing in you, and I hope that I’m not putting you to sleep, through this journey.
Keep searching, keep growing and keep sharing what you learn with someone else. -

In this chapter we see the implications of the Gospel on society in Ephesus with people accepting the Gospel, the worship of Artemis is threatened. The message and power of Jesus not only changes individual lives, but society as a whole. Why is the message not having more impact in our society today?
