  • What's in a Name? The Names of God and Their Meaning

    Ever wondered what the difference is between LORD, Lord and lord? God and god? And what about Lord God? Why God has so many names in the Old Testament? In our latest episode of the Bible Basics Podcast, we're decoding what each of these names reveals about God's character and nature. We're focusing on three principal names: Elohim, Adonai, and Yahweh. We unveil how each name embodies a unique aspect of God and how contemplating them can inspire awe and wonder, shining a light on the fact that we're never alone.

    But that's not all. As your host, Jacqui Adewole, I guide you on how you can incorporate these sacred names in your prayers, a beautiful way to honor and worship Him while reminding ourselves of His holy attributes. Delving into His many names makes God more accessible to us, paving the way for a richer prayer life and a deeper relationship with Him.

  • How to Develop a Lifelong Bible Reading Habit: The Atomic Habits Approach

    What is the secret to getting started and maintain a consistent Bible reading habit?  In this episode we share tips on how to cultivate a lifelong Bible reading routine and the strength it offers. Learn how I embraced the principles from James Clear's Atomic Habits - making it obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying - to not just read, but to develop a life long Bible reading habit. Hear how setting a specific time and place, using visual reminders, finding a Bible translation that speaks to you, and starting with a manageable reading goal has helped me in my spiritual journey.

    Coupling prayer with Bible reading can compound spiritual growth. Discover how an accountability partner or joining a Bible study group can help you stay consistent. The power of additional activities like journaling or listening to worship music during reading sessions can significantly enhance your experience. I'll walk you through my personal journey, the struggles I faced, and how I managed to build a consistent Bible reading practice. I've got some recommendations on what to read first and how to make your Bible reading sessions satisfying. Let's embark on this spiritual journey together, remembering that building a habit requires time and dedication. Don't wait for tomorrow, start today!
