Starting May 4, an episode will drop every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
A few things to know about Old Treasures Made New:
- It is Scriptural - I believe the Scriptures are the authoritative, sufficient, breathed-out words of God. So every episode will include the reading of a portion of Scripture.
- It is devotional - This is not just a Bible reading plan being read aloud. Devotional comments that come from the text will follow, as well as reflective questions which you will be able to find in the show notes. There are plenty of options for listening to the Bible, but a good podcast I recommend is called The Commuter Bible by John Ross.
- It is historical - I am depending on those who have gone before us to bring said devotional comments. We live in a society that is very interested in looking to the future, but I think we are helped when we remember that we stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us.
There are three ways I hope this podcast will be used:
- Personal - make this part of your personal main Scripture intake, in which I would encourage you to take time reading the passage beforehand and reflecting on the devotional thoughts after. Essentially, this will take you through a deep dive of the gospels as you follow the Scripture divisions. You can also use it as a supplement to your regular reading plan as you go on walks or for your commute.
- Family Worship - use Old Treasures for a season as part of your family worship. The devotional thoughts and following questions will give you lots of material in generating discussion with your children. And if you are not a fan of listening to something as you sit at the table or living room, it can be useful for the days you need to be flexible and find yourself in the car late at night coming home. I would suggest that this material would be suited for those 7 and up, but you know your child and you will have to find out for yourself!
- Discipleship - Old Treasures could be a valuable discipleship tool if you are seeking to meet with someone to discuss the Bible and encourage one another in the faith. It may also be useful as an evangelistic tool with someone interested in Christianity.
