A Millennial Learns

This week on the podcast we finish up the gospels… we are going over the book of John! And I must say, John is my favorite gospel i think! Reading all four right in a row has given me a good perspective about how each one is similar and how they are different. I like all the details that John goes into about some of the events that were glossed over in the other gospels. It really shows another whole side of Jesus.

This verse really stuck out to me in the reading this week because I think recently I have been overly caught up with what happens once we die. Where do we go and how do we know? What this verse brought to mind is that, yes, the bible talks about heaven and hell some, but this verse reminded me that while Jesus does talk about our eternity, he also talks about our practical living here. Believing in him gives us life and life abundant, not only in eternity but here on Earth! What good news!

In this episode we take a look at what the Amish and Mennonite believe. They are very similar in many respects, but the Amish are actually an offshoot of Mennonites with some key differences. For full episode notes, go to www.amillenniallearns.com!

I loooove the book of Luke. My favorite verse is when Jesus talks about not worrying and reminding us that God will take care of us. Enjoy the episode!

In this weeks episode we recap the gospel of Mark and review the differences between Mark and Matthew’s accounts of Jesus. Enjoy the episode!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a good New Years celebration! In this mini bonus episode I go over tips to choosing and sticking with your resolutions and which ones I have chosen this year

A lot has happened this year! Come join me on a recap through my personal life this year and some of the biggest news headlines of each month.

It’s a great section of scripture with Jesus dying and raising on the third day!

This week on the podcast we go over the first part of the book of Matthew. Matthew is one of the four gospels, which recounts Jesus' birth all the way up to his death and resurrection.

This section recounts so many instrumental stories that happened between Jesus' birth and early ministry. He is lied to and tempted by the devil in the wilderness (who quotes scripture by the way... important to know your Bible and the context!),  gives the famous Sermon on the Mount, and travels around healing many people.

Jesus makes waves right from the beginning, flipping conventional wisdom on its head. Instead of an eye for an eye,  Jesus commands us to turn the other cheek. Instead of hating your enemy, we are called to love our enemy. Instead of storing up treasures on earth, we are commanded to store up treasures in heaven.

Jesus is becoming more and more of a problem for the Pharisees and Sadducees, who accuse him of breaking Sabbath and call him the Prince of Demons. This is a powerful section that really shows us the character of Jesus.
