Bible Story Podcast
Jon: Bradon, long-time listeners, would know you are obsessed with coffee.
Bradon: Oh yeah. And anyone who sees me in the morning with my coffee mug! I do enjoy coffee!
Jon: Today, we will learn three of Paul’s obsessions, and it’s not really on the same level!
Bradon: I love coffee way more whatever it is that Paul loves.
Bradon: I am a person who tells Dad Jokes and I am not even a father!
Jon: Ok, Today is the start of Season 12!
Bradon: Does that make me a Faux “Pa?”
Jon: That’s funny; I like it! Today we will learn to Copy the Good we see in others.
Bradon: Today, we learned a bit of background on Paul, one of the first missionaries, and the Philippian Church he helped start. We noted that it would be beneficial for people to copy the Philippian Church and others we admire.
Jon: Bradon, what is the difference between love and LOVE?
Bradon: Oh, you mean the difference between romantic love and regular love.
Jon: Yes, I do, but there is nothing regular about the love we are going to talk about today, and it’s not the romantic kind of love.
Bradon: We will describe the big kind of love that will do whatever it takes!
Jon: Get ready for a discussion about the concepts shared in the episode Love Does Whatever it Takes.
Bradon: We read 1 John 4:7-21 and introduced four concepts. First, we learned that Love comes from God! Second, when we love, we have love living in us – God living in us. Third, with God or love living in us, we do not need to fear God’s judgement. Fourth, hate is not of God.
Jon: We realized that love – God will do whatever it takes to connect people to each other and to God.
Jon: Question, Have you had an incredible experience with God and then a few months later found it difficult?
Noah: Oh yeah, you’re on the Mountain top, and the next thing you know, you’re in the Valley. I have been there before!
Val: Yeah, same here!
Jon: I’d love to hear more of your stories. Today we learn the importance of being faithful in all seasons!
Jon: You are listening to the discussion episode for the story, “Be Faithful.”
Noah: Nehemiah returned after visiting Babylon and saw that the people had stopped doing important things. They were connecting with people who worshipped other Gods and used the temple for the wrong purpose.
Val: Nehemiah rebuked people and made changes that were necessary so that the nation would be faithful to God!
Jon: Welcome to the Bible Story Podcast. Today we are going to learn about the importance of finding our place!
Aidan: I sleep in a cabin.
Jon: That’s not what I mean.
Cassidy: My place is with candy. I love treats!
Jon: That’s not what I mean either! Stay tuned to learn what it means to find our place!
Cassidy: You are listening to the discussion questions for the episode, Find Your Place.
Aidan: Today’s story was taken from Nehemiah, Chapters 11-12.
Jon: Early in the story, we find a record of people who relocated to Jerusalem and a record of people who lived in other places throughout Judah. The people dedicated the walls with a big celebration, and on the same day, people were appointed to collect the tithes and offerings.
Jon: Do you guys want to hear a question or statement?
Cassidy: Neither! That question makes me panic.
Aidan: Statement! Let’s get it over with!
Jon: Today, we are going to learn about confession and commitment!
