    Read excerpt

    In Week 35 of The Long Way Through Scripture , we begin the New Testament with Matthew 1–13. After walking through the Old Testament, we finally arrive at the Gospel story. Matthew opens by showing us that Jesus is the promised Son of Abraham, the Son of David, and the long-awaited Messiah. In these chapters we see His birth, His baptism, His temptation, His teaching, His miracles, and the beginning of His ministry. This week’s reflection: Following Jesus doesn’t begin when we understand everyth

    Read excerpt

    In Week 34 of The Long Way Through Scripture , we reach the final books of the Old Testament: Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. God’s people have returned from exile, the temple is being rebuilt, and life is beginning again, but the story still feels unfinished. Haggai calls the people to renew their priorities, Zechariah lifts their eyes toward God’s future promises, and Malachi challenges hearts that have grown cold.

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    In Week 32 of The Long Way Through Scripture , we continue through the Minor Prophets with Micah, Jonah, and Nahum. Together, these three books help us hold two truths side by side: God is perfectly just, and God is incredibly merciful. Micah calls God’s people toward justice, mercy, and humility. Jonah shows us God’s compassion reaching farther than Jonah wanted it to. Nahum reminds us that God’s patience should never be mistaken for indifference toward evil. This week’s reflection: God’s mercy

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    In Week 31 of The Long Way Through Scripture , we begin reading the Minor Prophets with Hosea and Amos. These two books speak to a people who looked successful on the outside but had drifted from God beneath the surface. Hosea shows us God’s faithful love through the picture of a broken relationship, while Amos reminds us that true worship must shape the way we live, treat others, and pursue justice. This week’s reflection: God’s correction is never separate from His love. Whether you're followi
