Episode 53 is a meditation on Ecclesiastes 1:1-11 where the Preacher reflects on the meaninglessness of life in the absence of any broader eternal considerations.  The significance of this passage can't be understated in an age of chronological myopia.

Episode 52 is a reflection on John 6:48-60 where Jesus teaches His followers that in order to be His disciple and live forever, they must eat His flesh which is true bread, and drink His blood in which is life.  It was a hard teaching for the disciples, and many walked away.  May we be those who internalize His ways and His sacrifice.

Episode 49 is a meditation on Isaiah 58:6-12, often referred to as "God's Chosen Fast."  One of the results of the type of fast that God desires is that we would be "like a watered garden and a spring of water whose waters do not fail."  I was partial to calling this episode after that verse in particular because it's an image I often have in my mind for my sons as I pray this passage over them.

Episode 48 is a look at how 1 John 4:19, Luke 10:25-27, John 14:15, & Matthew 5:8 form the "Love Cycle."  That is, that when we receive the love of God we are compelled to love Him in return (1 John 4:19); when we love Him we obey Him (Luke 10:25-27 & John 14:15), and we obey Him with a pure heart, we see Him (Matthew 5:8).  And what do we see when we see Him?  We see how much He loves us!  And that perpetuates this blissful cycle upward for eternity.
