The Bible provides a multifaceted approach to understanding the stages of believing, growing, and knowing the Lord. We will dive into scriptures that talk about these stages and why they are imperative. Join us today for a great discussion.

The key takeaway from this verse is the importance of valuing and heeding God's word while it is available. The Israelites took God's messages for granted, leading to a severe consequence where they would no longer have access to His guidance. It serves as a reminder to remain receptive and responsive to divine teachings and not to neglect spiritual nourishment. Listen in for a deeper dive into the Word so we don't lose it.

The Bible frequently emphasizes the importance of drawing near to God and promises that He will draw near to those who seek Him. This concept is foundational to the Christian faith, encapsulating the essence of a personal relationship with God. We will dive deep into drawing closer to God. Billy Graham and Rick Warren certainly had something to say about this too. Listen in and learn about some great take-a-ways.

In our reading and study today, we will explore why it is important to sit at the feet of Jesus' teachings. We are meant to be a captive audience to His words. Be still, take a seat, and you will come to know the words of Jesus, which lead to the life we all desire. Join me for this special insight into living.

According to the book of Ezekiel, God instructed him to lie on his left side for 390 days to symbolically bear the iniquity of the house of Israel, and then on his right side for 40 days to bear the iniquity of the house of Judah (Ezekiel 4:4-6). This symbolic act was part of a series of dramatic signs and actions that Ezekiel performed to convey God's messages to the people of Israel.

Ezekiel's act of lying on his side for an extended period was a symbolic action commanded by God to convey a message of judgment against Israel and Judah. This can be explained with the relevant biblical references. Listen in for more relevant details.

The Bible uses the concept of "standing" or "standing up" both literally and metaphorically to convey a variety of spiritual, moral, and relational principles. We will talk about several key themes along with relevant scriptures that illustrate their meanings. In our podcast, I incorporate Coach Kinard, my sister Mary Jane, and Thomas Jefferson. Join me in an in-depth discussion and teaching from the Word of God.

Self-control plays a crucial role in helping individuals live a life that honors God and others in several ways: Resisting temptation, making wise decisions, avoid impulsive behavior, practicing patience and forgiveness. It helps control the instability of greed, lust, anger, envy, gluttony, and pride. Listen in as we take a deep dive into characters in the bible that understood this all too well.

The Greek word for gentleness is "praütes" (πρᾳότης), which can be translated as meekness or gentleness. It denotes strength under control, humility, and a gentle disposition. We will take a deep dive into the scriptures and understand gentleness through the lives of people like Barnabas, Moses, Ruth, Titus, and Eleanor Roosevelt. Join us today for a great conversation.

This is week seven of our continued study of the fruit of the Spirit. We’ll talk about what faithfulness is.

The concept of goodness is fundamental in the Bible, reflecting attributes such as moral excellence, righteousness, and kindness. Jesus acknowledges the ultimate source of goodness as being God Himself. Listen in for a deeper conversation about goodness.
