Podcast #150: “Everywhere I Go” by Tim Timmons

Seeing God Work In John 5

Sometimes we gain a new perspective and it changes everything. This happened for me in a Bible study in college. This happened for Tim Timmons as his daughter prayed a prayer for him and he wrote a song about it. “Everywhere I Go” leads us to Scripture where we learn some important truths that may not only change the way we pray, but the way we live.

May we long to join God in what He is doing more than His blessing of our own feeble plans.

Podcast #147: “O Come All Ye Faithful” by Lauren Daigle

Beholding the Details of the Christmas Story

Have you ever read something in Scripture you have read before, but suddenly something new jumps out at you? This happened for me this week when a word from a familiar Christmas hymn sent me on a scavenger hunt through the Christmas story. This week, I use Lauren Daigle’s version of “O Come All Ye Faithful” to inspire to discover what the word “behold” calls us to pay attention to.

Come, let us behold Him, Christ, the Lord.

Podcast #143: “One True God” by Steven Curtis Chapman

Unearthing Truth in Jesus' Prayer in John 17

If you knew that the next prayer you prayed aloud over a loved would be one of your last, would you pray for blessings and safety? Or would you fill your prayer with substance? Not for God’s benefit, but for the benefit of the loved one listening to your prayer on their behalf? Steven Curtis Chapman’s song, “One True God” points directly at God, and so does the prayer of Jesus in John 17.

Join me as we spend some time in this prayer…one of Christ’s last prayers while in a suit of flesh here on earth.

Podcast #139: “Son of David” by Ghost Ship

Benefiting From the Story of Blind Bartimaeus in Mark 10

A lyric lodged itself in my mind a few weeks ago that I couldn’t shake. It worked out okay, because it wasn’t one of those cheesy advertising jingles, it was directly from Scripture. I used the song, “Son of David” by Ghost Ship to guide me to Mark 10 and a great story with more tucked in it than you would imagine.

Come with me to the gates of Jericho and meet Bartimaeus.

Podcast #117: “Sparrows” by Jason Gray

Heading Out With the Disciples in Matthew 10

I don’t think we fully comprehend how valuable we are to God. He tells us in many different ways and contexts and this week’s song, “Sparrows” by Jason Gray, leads us to one of those sections of Scripture where Jesus makes it very clear how valuable we are to our Father.

Matthew-10-31-Square

The reason it is so important that we understand our value to God may surprise you, however.
