- Journey Through The Message 33 - The LAW Test: (I hope it’s multiple choice!)
How cool would it have been to be chilling on a beach and listening to Jesus tell stories? I bet people had a hard time breaking away and going back to their normal life after an encounter with him. And as we close today in Exodus, we are in the thick of some pretty crazy laws by our standards. If there is a test I sure hope it's multiple-choice!! Why did they need these? Are these really necessary? How many of these laws do we still use today? Find out more on today's Journey Through The Message!

44 min - Journey Through The Message 32 - The Meeting on the Mountain
Why does Jesus always tell stories? Is it some secret code? Or is he trying to plant deeper seeds? And listen to one of the most well known passages in the Bible as we close out the day in Exodus 20.

33 min - Journey Through The Message 31 - It’s raining BREAD! Hallelujah!
Have you ever wanted to leave somewhere but you felt God keeping you there? What is He trying to teach you? Paul wanted to leave Corinth, but after an encouraging message in a dream, he decided to stay and what resulted was nothing short of a miracle. As we finish up today in Exodus, we see how quickly the Israelites forget about the harsh conditions of slavery when they get a little hungry or thirsty. Personally, I would rather be hungry any day before being a slave or going back to that. See how God shows up at just the right time on today's Journey Through The Message!

38 min - Journey Through The Message 30 - Get the WORMS out of your FRUIT!
Black Magic! That's what the Pharisees thought Jesus had up his sleeve as he performed miracles and set people free. What would we think of Jesus today if he came back and was doing the same things? Then we have Paul who is visiting the Athenians and sees a shrine to the God Nobody Knows. Well, guess what, Paul knows this God and he is going to tell them about him! And we end today with a pretty amazing miracle that allowed the Israelites to escape the Egyptians and move into the promised land.

42 min - Journey Through The Message 29 - Flexible HEART vs Inflexible RITUAL
Did the Pharisees have anything better to do than to try and nitpick Jesus' ministry? And what about the mob that the Jews formed to run Paul out of town? People are afraid of losing their old way of life but not realizing the new way, is the WAY. And we end today with the final plagues in Egypt and it's not the best day to be a firstborn anything.

38 min - Journey Through The Message 28 - Are you BURNED OUT on religion?
Are you tired? Are you worn out? Jesus didn't come here to load you down with rules and regulations. Paul and Silas get beat up and thrown in jail for casting a demon out of a little girl, but little did they know, someone needed to see them at the jail and that's the route God decided to take! And today we begin to hear about the plagues that God sent down on Egypt. If some guy was making all of this happen to you, would your heart still be hard against God?

43 min - Journey Through The Message 27 - A friend to the MISFITS!
While John the Baptizer is in jail, he starts hearing reports about what Jesus is doing, but it doesn't look like what he expected. Is Jesus acting like what you would expect him to? And did you know that Moses' Egyptian wife saved his life? God almost killed him for being disobedient - uh oh! It's all here in another action-packed journey through the Message.

41 min - Journey Through The Message 26 - Do YOU need a cool drink of water?
Jesus breaks it down and says to just start small, by offering someone a cool drink of water... This is revolutionary! Brings me back to the days of sales training where they tell you the KISS method - Keep It Simple Stupid! I bet God shakes His head at us sometimes how we try to muddy things up. Today is the first day of Exodus and the drama from Genesis is just as big here. See how God is in every little detail with us on today's Journey through the Message!

About Sober Not Boring
From the publisher's feed
Sober Not Boring is the podcast that flips the script on recovery.
We bring you real conversations, inspiring interviews, and practical tools that prove sobriety isn’t just about saying “no” — it’s about saying “yes” to a better, bolder life.
From recovery stories that will make you laugh (and maybe cry) to expert insights and resources you can use right now, we’re here to break the stigma and show that life after addiction can be full of purpose, connection, and yes… fun.
Whether you’re in recovery, thinking about it, or walking alongside someone who is, pull up a chair. There’s a seat here for you — because sober doesn’t mean boring.
