Welcome to season 2.2!! We are beginning a brand new study for fall looking at The Acts of the Apostles. This episode introduces the book and takes care of our "housekeeping," answering the Who, What, and When which will give us the context of the book. And also you will your prepisode for our first week's study which covers chapters 1 through 2:13.  Some things you can look for this week as you b...

Well hello my lovely friends. Welcome to the final episode of our Summer Mini-Series in our Women's Bible Study. Today, we look at a really important time in the Bible, that's really not mentioned in the Bible. Huh??? It's the Intertestamental Period. It's that time between the Old Testament and the New Testament when God is silent for 400 years. But as we learn in this episode, just because God i...

On the heels of the discussion about the Covenants in our unplanned mini-series this summer, we now turn our attention to the Prophets. Ahhh, the Prophets. This group of 17 books that are often neglected because we just aren't comfortable or adept in reading ancient communications from a Divine Creator to his messengers on earth. BUT, we can read them, we CAN understand them, and we CAN enjoy them...

Welcome to our Summer Mini-Series!! If that is a surprise to you, imagine how I must have felt when I realized that what I was holding in my hands! Part one is an Introduction to the Covenants. In this episode, we take a look at seven (7) Divine Covenants instituted by God with the intention of fulfilling his eternal plan of redemption. This is (obviously) only an introduction. It's meant to help...

Hello friends. Welcome to the first BONUS EPISODE of the summer hiatus. I know we've been up and running for about a year now, but I realized most of you don't know me personally, and I thought I should formally introduce myself and share my testimony of the goodness of God in my life and how he saved me, and kept me through some rebellious years, and brought me to the place where I sit behind a m...

Summer is here, and that means everybody is busy trying to do all the things...and I'm no exception. So here is the plan for July and August. 

We finish out this first book of the Psalms in our Women's Bible Study this week and we see over and over the faithfulness of the LORD. David attempts to put into words the scope of God's character; he tries to help us understand using the language we've been given...but even the grand scale that David uses, the heavens, clouds, mountains, the great deep, even these descriptions will pale when on...

This is it for our study on the first book of Psalms. We wrap it up this week. Remember everything we've talked about. Read repetitively, look for repeated words and phrases, remember you're reading Biblical Poetry which is full of imagery, metaphor, and simile.

We are winding down our study of the first book of Psalms in our Women's Bible Study. This is our next to last week in this study. This was a great week! We begin with Ps 31, a lament of David, where we learn that our God is a Mountain Fortress. Can you think of all the advantages of a mountain fortress? Now think of how much better a fortress the LORD is since he is a fortress made without human...

We're kicking it back Old School style this week in our Women's Bible Study and practicing some good old-fashinoned outlines to help us with comprehension. Don't worry, we're not getting too fancy or complicated, you don't even have to use Roman Numerals, unless you feel like that helps you me more outliney.  I have really enjoyed this week's reading as I start to prepare.  Reading repetitively ha...

We begin today's Women's Bible Study with a plea for vindication and a plea of innocense: Judge: David how do you plea? David: Not guilty!! Wouldn't you like to have been at that trial? We talk about the fruit of "seeking," the Pit and Sheol (not places you want to be!!), we learn a song of pure praise, and we see how even though David never got to see the temple with his physical eyes, he still h...

Of all the Psalms we've studied so far, this group seemed the most unfamiliar to me. I really had to slow down and practice what I've been preaching to you all for the past 5 weeks: read slowly and repetitively, identify the type of Psalm, and remember we are reading poetry! Those three tips were super helpful for me this week, so I want to remind you all again as well...because they'll probably b...

If you did the reading this week, how many times did you count the word HESED (or loving-kindness, faithfulness)? I counted 5 times in three chapters! Did you highlight all of them? We have a couple of familiar Psalms this week, and a couple that maybe are not as familiar, but all are a treasure trove for those who seek. What treasures can you discover in this week's Women's Bible Study? Below is...

Get ready to read some familiar passages this week as we cover one of the most beloved Psalms, Psalm 23, and one of the most prophetic Psalms about the crucifixion of Christ, Psalm 22. We'll make some really neat connections along the way as well, but you'll have to read carefully. This is part of the process and part of the delight of learning to read scripture.  Below is my email if you would li...

Oh as much as I'm loving this study, this may be my favorite week of the whole series, but maybe I shouldn't type too soon, we've still got half of the study to go. Maybe I should wait to see what all is revealed. This week in our Women's Bible Study we find ourselves on the Path of Life, and it is revealed to us how to have fullness of joy in one of my favorite Psalms.  We get to look into one of...

Hey I thought just for funnsies, we'd play a matching game this week with our Psalm type identification. I'm giving you the types you'll encounter, and you match them with the Psalms: Royal  -  Thanksgiving  -  Confidence  -  Wisdom  -  Individual Lament  -  Royal  -  Celebration of the Law And yes, Royal is supposed to be there twice, and yes, there are seven types and only 5 Psalms.  Listen to t...

We are now knee deep in our study of the first book of Psalms in our Women's Bible Study. This was our shortest read so far, but I think it is the longest podcast.  What does that tell ya? (And I cut out A LOT!) David gets some advice this week, he encounters liars & fools, he is shaken but not moved, and he seeks the ideal worshipper. David was BUSY this week, and so were we. Buckle up and hu...

SUPER FAST BIBLE STUDY!! That's what everyone wants, right?   Nahhhh! It's time to s-l-o-w  d-o-w-n. Technically, yes, you can read all 5 of our Psalms in this week's study in 5 minutes...but let's take the time to really dig deep this week. Come on, I know you can do it! (I said that in my best Denise Austin voice, for those of you my age...for you young'uns, you'll have to Google her.) I issue s...

Welcome to week TWO of our Psalms study. This week, we see lament turn into praise in our Women's Bible Study. We see God's heart toward the weak and afflicted. We see how his weapons are made ready for those who reject his law and oppress his people. Even when it seems that God is far off, or that he is indifferent, we learn (again) that humanity is the crown jewel of creation, and God is never f...

Our reading this week in our Women's Bible Study is Psalms 6-10. We have four Psalms of David, and one that is written anonymously...so only God knows the true author. And we tackle some weighty issues, the Psalmist asks some hard questions; but notice this doesn't bother God, it doesn't make him angry. Instead, he includes the questions in his book, recorded for all eternity so that we can see an...

We're off to an amazing start this week as we kick off our study of the Psalms in our Women's Bible Study.  We start off with Psalms 1 and 2, which set the stage for the entire rest of the book.  Psalm 1 shows us the wisdom of the Blessed Man who loves the law of the LORD, vs the wicked man who rejects the law, therefore rejecting God...his way will perish.  Psalm 2 sets God's chosen man on the th...

Today is the day!! We begin our journey through the first book of Psalms in our Women's Bible Study. We are wading into the waters of Psalms chapters 1-5.  Here are the things to look for each week as you read: 1) Identify the type of Psalm (Praise, Lament, Thanksgiving, Royal, Wisdom....) 2) Look for lines of parallelism. What are they speaking to you? Are they expanding the meaning, contrasting...

Woot! Woot!! Y'all I'm super excited about this week as we prepare to read the First Book of Psalms, which is chapters 1-41. In this episode of our Women's Bible Study we take a look at some of the elements of Biblical poetry so we can readily recognize them as we are reading, and we can let them help us understand and interpret more accurately. We take a look at how Biblical poetry is a condensed...

Oooooo, I'm super excited for this one. We are embarking on a study for the first book of Psalm, or Psalm chapters 1-41. We're going to take our time, and we'll be camped out here for May and June, so no worries. We're not about wind sprints over here in our Women's Bible Study, we run cross country.  This week, we just dip our toes in, and we take a look at the five major categories of Psalms: Ro...

This is it, the final chapter of Colossians where Paul once again reminds the Colossae worshipers that the life of a believer is marked by consistent, steadfast prayer. He tells them when they are interacting with unbelievers to be SALTY. What does that even mean? Ahhhh, I explain it all in this episode of our Women's Bible Study. (OK, I have a little help from John Piper.) Then we get a glimpse o...
