63 - Janet & Geoff Benge - Make It Plain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
God told Habakkuk to make his vision plain. So Habakkuk engraved his words into tablets, but the Hebrew word ba’ar means more than just engrave. By extension, ba’ar means to make something visible and obvious by explaining it and expounding it clearly.Janet and Geoff Benge, like Habakkuk also make the story of the church plain by vividly writing down the lives of many faithful servants of Christ in such a way to inspire each of us to live our own story a little bit more faithfully, and lean into
62 - God’s Judgment (ft. Beth Matheson) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
God slowly carves out judgement and deliverance using the same sharp tool: Time itself.Time unveils reality. Time is a chisel. Though it tarries, we must wait for it because waiting is carving out an image.I’m very grateful to poet Beth Matheson for her poems “His Glory Will Rise” and “Beatitude Sonnet IV” that she shares with us at the end of this episode!

Read excerpt
Habakkuk asked God a question: Why is evil winning?God gave him an answer through a vision. Habakkuk asked with words, God answered with a vision.

Troy itself was gone, but the entire region was named after it: Troas. Paul’s life pivoted twice in Troas.In Acts 16:7, The spirit explicitly didn’t allow Paul to Go to Asia. We’re not told how, but we’re told that it was a pretty clear No. But frustratingly, the Spirit said no to one direction, but didn’t say where TO go. (Note that this was no
Matt Kennedy - Sound Teaching (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In his last letter, Paul said sound doctrine would become rarer and rarer the closer we got to Jesus’ return. He predicted many people wouldn’t allow it. They would fight it tooth and nail.Sound familiar?The greek word sound in sound doctrine is hygiainousēs. It’s related to our word hygiene, and it means healthy, sound, balanced and good. This phrase was one of Paul’s favorite descriptions to use in his mentoring. He uses it four times in his letters to Timothy and four times in his letter to T
