  • What Keeps People From Reading the Bible?

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode we go back again to the research and studies done on bible reading. See below for the Scientific Evidence for the Power of 4, which is the moral changes that come about through engaging in God's word four days a week. But what if even before we get to actually reading we try to understand what it REALLY is that keeps people from reading their bibles? Is it excuses? Is it laziness? What is it? And what was found through this research is that what keeps people from reading their bibles is either...
    A. They don't know how or where to start.
    B. When they do read they don't understand. 

    In this episode we look at two ways to go to war against these two very real things that keep us from tapping into the Power of Four.

  • The Power of FOUR

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode we eat on the Power of FOUR which is the scientific backing that reading and engaging with God's word just four days a week has the power to change your life for the better. The encouragement in this episode is to be PEOPLE OF THE BOOK but in order to do that, we've got to open it and read it.

    In this episode we eat on the REST that was coded into our DNA at creation. It is the norm these days to go, go, go and hurry, hurry, hurry. In fact, not only is it the norm but we boast about our schedule to keep and how hard we work! But, when is the last time you considered how important it is to REST? If it was important enough for God to REST after 6 days, then shouldn't it be that we do the same?

  • Yield

    In today's episode we eat on this word YIELD, which means to slow down, concede the right of way, and to give up the advantage. We know what this word means when we are out on the road, but how are we doing with this word when it comes to life? In today's 44, we look to the life of Jesus and how He was "Master Yielder" in the way we Yielded to God and Yielded to People.

    In today's episode is a call to action to meditate on the "Wonderful works of God and to let your soul know it VERY well." When is the last time you have been in awe of God's creation? If it's been a while, let that time be right now. Let it be today. And let your soul know it very well what a great God we serve!

  • Open Your Mouth Wide

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode we eat on Psalm 81:10-16 while prioritizing the idea behind vs. 10 which reads this way, "I, the Lord, am your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide and I will fill it." Oftentimes we can get to a point where our trust and our dependence upon God falls by the wayside. What a beautiful reminder in Psalm 81 that our lives should be lived OPEN to all He longs to do for us and through us. Most especially when it seems impossible (vs. 16).

  • What's In a Name?

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode we eat on what is in a name as it relates to the church (universal and local) as well as it relates to us as individual parts that make up the body. Does the bible speak to what we should call the church? Does the bible tell us what we should call ourselves? Let's eat!
