Conversations with Sara Podcast

Is the Bible, the most influential book in world history, still relevant? Why do people dismiss it as being irrelevant, irrational, immoral, or all of these things? The Rational Bible: Deuteronomy by Dennis Prager, national radio host and bestselling author of The Rational Bible series, explains the Book of Deuteronomy, the fifth book of the Bible, and demonstrates how it remains profoundly relevant—both to the great issues of our day and to each individual life.

Do you doubt the existence of God because you think believing in God is irrational? This book will cause you to reexamine your doubts.

The title of this commentary is The Rational Bible because its approach is entirely reason-based. The reader is never asked to accept anything on faith alone. In Dennis Prager’s words, “If something I write is not rational, I have not done my job.”

In this episode my co-host Len from our morning show joins me, as we talk to Dennis about the following... 

• What is unique about the book of Deuteronomy as compared to Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers?

On the episode today, Pastor Louie Giglio joins us. My co-host on the morning show Len joins us as this was previously recorded for our morning show.

Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table is Pastor Giglio's new book we'll be discussing in this episode. Hope you enjoy!!

Discover how to break free from the chains of negative thinking and experience true freedom from unhealthy thoughts and emotions.

The Enemy is constantly seeking to fill your mind with destructive and harmful thoughts—whether of fear, worry, insecurity, anxiety, temptation, envy. . . . It’s all too easy for Satan to manipulate his way into a seat at the table intended for only you and Jesus, and to try making himself at home in your mind. It’s an ongoing battle, but one you can win!

In Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table, bestselling author and pastor Louie Giglio shares practical ways to overcome the Enemy’s lies and instead find peace and security in any challenging circumstance or situation. By drawing from Psalm 23 as a framework, he offers biblical insight on how to . . .

• Cancel the lies that will wreck your life.

You can find freedom from the war inside your mind—if you allow Jesus, the Good Shepherd, to lead the battle. Learn how to find encouragement, hope, and strength no matter what valleys you face. It’s time to reject the lies and listen to the truth.
