Up - In - Out: The Foundation College Ministry Podcast

This week we discuss the topic of womanhood with Cassie Kit and Jemima Davila. Both of these ladies are currently pursuing a Masters Degree at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky and are passionate about Scripture and teaching it to woman. They have some insights into womanhood that are helpful for anyone listening in their walks with Jesus. 

Our College Bible Class series called OT Survey continues by looking at the book of Leviticus. Elizabeth will give us an overview of the book and some of the major themes and purposes for this book. Enjoy. 

In this week's episode, we talk about Biblical Manhood with Justin Smith, Church Planting Resident at Redeemer Church in Lubbock, Texas. Justin formerly served as the College Pastor at Columbus Avenue Baptist Church in Waco, Texas where he served college students at Baylor for 6 years. In this podcast we will seek to answer questions like what is manhood not, what are some characteristics of a Godly man, and how we can seek to be biblical men, or for the ladies, how they can know the difference between a boy and a Godly man. 

In this episode we discuss Meditation on Scripture with AC Wallace! She'll help us understand what Mediation is, why we should do it, and how we can begin to do it. Listen and Share! Also, check below for some help tips!

What to meditate on: 

• What has God been impressing upon your heart? 
• What has convicted you? What is hard for you to believe? 
• What has given you more awe and love for God? 
• Are you struggling with your thought life? Philippians 4:8. 
• Sensing dryness in your relationship with God? Find a verse about God’s character that amazes you.

Methods:

• Make whatever verse/ passage you’re meditating on your wallpaper
• Emphasize different words of a verse:
  • “I am the resurrection and the life”
  • “I am the resurrection and the life”
  • “I am the resurrection and the life” and so on and so forth…
• Rewrite /paraphrase the text in your own words (make it personal dialogue with God)
• Summarize the main message of the text (helpful for texts that are harder to understand)
• Look for applications from the text – how am I to respond to this text? What would God have me do as a result of my encounter with this part of His word? How can I be a doer of this, as James tells us to do? Is there something to start, stop, confess, pray about, believe, or say to someone?
• Ask how the text points to Jesus
• Pray through the text- this submits your mind to the Holy Spirit’s illumination of the text and intensifies your spiritual perception
• Memorize the text!! Memorization and meditation work hand in hand
• Create an artistic expression – song, poem, painting, etc.

Brian continues our Genesis 1 through 11 series by looking at the Creation Narrative of Genesis 1:2 - 2:3

This week, we continue our Old Testament Survey by surveying the book of Exodus. 

We've kicked off a new Semester Series through Genesis, chapters 1 through 11. This week we began with Genesis 1:1, looking at how this short and simple verse reveals various truths and attributes about the main character of the rest of Scripture, the Creator God. 

This week, we continue our H3 series with talking about pursuing holiness. We'll talk with College Minister, Coley Stephens about his own pursuit of holiness and the necessity of accountability relationships in the walk with Jesus. 

We begin our OT Survey with the book of Genesis. Brian will walk us through some of the key facts, themes, purposes, and applications from the book of Genesis to help us better understand this rich book.
