THERE IS A BETTER WAY! Than the ways we have been trying to walk on our own our whole lives. In Him is fullness of Joy. We don't have to make our own way, or manufacture our own future, because He has done it for us. All we have to do is live in this moment, in the gift He has given us, as He would live—and we will be alright.

Jesus invites the weary to lay down the burden of their sin in order to receive true rest and true life in Him. Weariness is the human experience of looking at our lives in an honest and sober way and realizing that they are not what we want them to be, and not what we hoped they would be. What do we do then when we are this weary, and burdened? We need rest. What makes Jesus' invitation to r...

We serve a good God who loves us enough to give us good and beautiful gifts here, in this life! I think often we can forget this, and get too focused on the world to come—so much so that we forget the beauty of the world right here, right now, that Jesus has given us to enjoy! “There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his...

Should we "sin more that Grace may abound?" Should we follow after "great swelling words of Vanity" so that we might find the final solution to the gnawing hole in our existence? Or should we use the Word of God as a guide for life, and in it find the cure and solution to the problem man has always had—finding the meaning to life? We are given this moment to live in. It is a be...

One year of Bryce Bible Podcast! It's been a blessing getting to do this. Let's think about this: we have a God and Father who formed us, chose us, redeems us, and CALLS US BY OUR NAME! We are inherently valuable to Him because He has made us to be His children. In Him only will we ever find the solution to the hole in our hearts. We are perfectly known and LOVED by Jesus, the Creator of...

A MERRY HEART IS GOOD MEDICINE. What does this mean? Is it just a wishful thought or a word about people who are happy, or is it a constant reminder of the mindset we should embrace in every moment of our lives? "You're not where you wanted to be. You feel like you're supposed to be somewhere else. Say you could snap your fingers and be wherever you wanted to be. I bet you'd st...

“There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.” ‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭2‬:‭24‬ “Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor d...

The way to live, thrive, and prosper: walk on the highway of the upright! Read the Bible and learn how to live. God's got us covered, all we have to do is listen to His voice telling us where and how to walk.

God created us all to be fulfilled by Him, in so many unique ways. These are some thoughts I have on our place in this world—we seem to make sense of this world more, with everyone's uniqueness, when we embrace the different ways God has made beauty to be.

Wisdom for everyday life is in the book of Proverbs. We can learn how to treat people, how to speak, and how to live. Will we listen to the "reproof of life?"

Hiraeth: A deep, inborn sense of yearning for a home, a feeling, a place, or a person that is beyond this plane of existence. We have this yearning in our hearts—God has set eternity in the heart of man (Ecc. 3:11.) We know there is more for us, and I find it comforting to remember that there is.  "The new [Narnia] was a deeper country: every rock and flower and blade of grass looked as if it...

Life gets confusing pretty fast. Stuff happens around us that hurts, and confuses us—and we have to make choices about how we are going to live. In the middle of this chaos, we have a hope that the "suffering of this present moment" is not worthy to be compared to the "weight of Glory that will be revealed in us." We should take heart then in times of suffering—remembering we h...

In Jeremiah 50 we read about the pride the Babylonians had against the Lord, and the punishment levied on them for this decision to promote themselves in their own eyes, and to look down upon the ways of righteousness and peace. Who will we choose to align with—the Babylonians and their pride, or Jesus and the peace He offers?

"May you be covered in the dust of your rabbi." Our goal is to be so close to Jesus that we are covered by His shadow, and that we no longer feel the urge to make our own way—because He has done so already, and perfectly.

HAPPY EASTER! Why is it so important that Jesus rose again? Why did Paul say, "If Christ is not risen, we are of all men most miserable?" Praise the Lord for His life, His promises, and His Resurrection!

The man who trusts in the Lord will be blessed, since He is our fountain of living waters! But the man who trusts in himself will be cursed—he will not prosper. Which will we be?

Life can be very confusing and difficult. I believe there's only one way through it. If we follow Jesus, regardless of how we feel, we will make it to the light. If we follow our own way, we will never have a firm foundation, and we will never know what the light is.

How can praise be a Sacrifice? Why should we praise God even when things are bad, or painful? We serve a perfect and unchanging God who promises us that ALL things work together for our good, even the bad stuff. We can trust in Him.

Jesus is perfect, we are not. Because of this, He must increase, and we must decrease. Our ways are wicked and perverse, His are perfect. It makes perfect sense—now will we do it?

What does it mean to "make yourself poor?" What is the ultimate reward the Righteous Man gets from fearing the commandment? In Proverbs 13 we learn a lot about the way we are called to walk—and the comfort that Jesus' way and commandments provide.

The Righteous is planted in a Firm Foundation like a tree. The fool finds their own way to be pleasant, and wanders into destruction. Which will we choose to be?

It is of His mercies that we are not consumed. We are so inherently bad, wicked, and our desires are evil—yet He loves us. It is of His mercies that we are not continually consumed into our old ways, to follow old paths, and old sins. Only by His mercy and grace can we walk in this Newness of Life. Praise Him for His mercies—which are new every morning.

What are the TRUE riches Proverbs speaks of, and that we should live for? Walking through the concepts of God's riches versus the world's riches—what we can live for and enjoy in this life through Him!

It's truly insane how awesome and powerful our God is. How detailed he is. Our God is not a meager, quiet, modest, or simple God—He is a God of extreme excess and extravagance! A God of mountains and valleys, of the intricacies of the snowflake and the beauties of a sunset. Our God is unequaled in his glory—and He invites us to join Him in His delights! To live in a way that is sustainable, f...

Talking about what it means to live for "Treasures of Wickedness" versus "Righteousness that delivers from Death," and how life often feels like a void, or a hollow, without having His presence in it. How can we live in light of the fact that the Lord will not suffer our souls to famish? The blessing of the Lord makes us rich, and adds no sorrow with it. This world will give us...
