#238 - What's for Now, What's for Later Dec 12, 2023

Show notes

Have you seen the carrot and stick method?

It’s how you get a mule to keep moving by dangling a carrot two inches from his nose. Always moving, but never getting the carrot.

Sounds like us sometimes, doesn’t it?

In this week's episode of Live the Bible, we look at Mark 8–9 where Jesus helps His disciples make sense of what they’re chasing by giving them a literal mountaintop experience of hope.

Forget the carrot. We need hope right where we are today.

#236 - How to Avoid the Dangers of Hypocrisy Nov 28, 2023

Show notes

Why do you do what you do?

Our motives are the fuel in our tanks. That’s why, when some in Jesus’ day did things with bad motives, He warned them of the dangers of hypocrisy.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’ll look at two questions in Mark 7 that can help us avoid the dangers of hypocrisy in our personal lives— and help us have motives that honor God.

#235 - The Best Way to Live Your Impossible Life Nov 21, 2023

Show notes

Your Christian life isn’t hard. It’s impossible.
So impossible, in fact, you cannot do it on your own. But that’s okay.
In this episode of Live the Bible, Jesus gave His disciples some impossible commands in Mark 7, and then He taught them how to do them with His help. One of the miracles Jesus performs is the ONLY miracle included in all four gospels, except for the resurrection. Its application for us is that important.
God’s greatest work in your life is not what He does through you— but what He does in you.

#234 - How to Hear from God Today Nov 14, 2023

Show notes

God’s grace makes it safe to see ourselves as we really are.

That's because we know that regardless of what we see, God will never reject us.

That kind of security allows us to listen to God. To truly hear Him...

In this episode of Live the Bible, we look at Mark 6 and several conversations Jesus has in Galilee. We'll discover how to hear from God, which depends most on how we choose to listen.

#233 - When You Need to Borrow a Miracle Nov 07, 2023

Show notes

If you ever wonder why God seems to work in everyone else's life (except yours), the Bible has good news.

Here's the truth: Jesus hasn’t forgotten you. How do we know?
This episode of Live the Bible introduces us to three people in Mark 5 who interacted with Jesus, and one of them will speak directly to whatever you’re struggling with today.

#232 - How to Find a Calm in Your Storm Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

I don’t know much about your life. But then again, I do.
You and I both struggle to trust God for something that feels urgent. And often, we find ourselves feeling swamped. Stuck in a raging storm.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we'll look at Mark 4:35-41 where Jesus shows us what to do in the storm of trust— how to find a calm we never knew existed.

#231 - What God is Doing When Nothing is Happening Oct 24, 2023

Show notes

Let’s be honest.

Sometimes it seems like the wheels are coming off—both in the world and in our lives. What is God thinking?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we'll look at Mark 4:21–34, where Jesus tells us what God is doing when nothing is happening. (Frankly, it’s great to know when God plants potatoes, potatoes will grow. I explain that more in the podcast.)

God’s plan hasn’t skipped a beat in the world—or in our lives.

Show notes

With God, your life can make an amazing difference.

That’s right, YOUR life.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we'll look at the book of Mark where Jesus shows us that no matter where you are or what you've done, you can always come to God and start fresh—and bear fruit for Him.

#229 - What to Do When Others Reject You Oct 10, 2023

Show notes

Sometimes those closest to us don’t understand us. Or worse, they don’t accept us at all.
In this episode of Live the Bible, Jesus models what to do when we’re misunderstood—and even rejected—by the very people we had hoped would accept us.
Christ’s gracious way of responding with truth shows us how God would have us respond, as well as redirects our hopes to a place that ultimately never fails us.
