    Have you ever asked yourself, "What Bible Translation should I read?"... Join us as we chat with Tim Wildsmith, a pastor with a passion for making sense of the more than 400 English Bible translations out there.

    You'll gain a whole new perspective on how to choose a translation that resonates with you. Tim breaks down the various translation philosophies and the historical context that has influenced these versions. We'll walk through the enduring legacy of translations like the King James Version and how modern counterparts like the NIV and "The Message" offer fresh perspectives.

    Whether you're a seasoned scripture reader or just starting, understanding these nuances can profoundly impact your study habits and spiritual growth. His insights are not just informative—they're transformational, as he guides us through the labyrinth of translation philosophies, textual bases, and the historical milestones that have shaped the way we read scripture today.

    What happens when the joy of Christmas becomes a burden rather than a blessing? Author Lanier Ivester joins us to reveal how learning to set priorities can transform your holiday season into a peaceful and purposeful celebration. Reflecting on her own journey from a fervent Christmas enthusiast to someone who practices mindfulness and balance, Lanier shares insights from her book, "Glad and Golden Hours," on cherishing moments that matter most and infusing your celebrations with God's presence and peace.

    Lanier and I tackle the challenges of maintaining joyful experiences while dealing with the pressures of social media and hectic schedules. Together, we highlight the importance of creating a margin and stepping away from the digital noise to rejoice in the simple joys of Advent.

    Through shared stories of sorrow and joy, we explore the intrinsic ties between these emotions in the Christian faith, echoing the message that our grief can indeed amplify our joy. Lanier opens up about how personal loss deepened her understanding of faith and inspired her writing journey.

    Tune in to discover how we can all find peace, purpose, and intentionality in celebrating Christmas and Advent.

    Uncover the secret to navigating social media with faith as our guest, Teryn Gregson, reveals how Scripture can be a powerful tool against the pitfalls of digital life. She opens up about her personal experiences with the toxic side of social media and offers unique insights into applying a "faith filter" to our interactions.

    We tackle the anxiety and pressure social media can amplify as well as the profound peace found in seeking fulfillment through Christ rather than likes. By drawing a clear line between social influence and soul influence, we encourage focusing on real-life connections and spiritual growth, using social media as a supplementary tool rather than a substitute for genuine community.

    Teryn shares practical advice on setting boundaries and achieving true rest, using the Bible as a compass for online behavior. With practical tips and Christian teachings, this episode equips listeners to navigate the digital landscape while staying grounded in God's word.

In a nation where secularism reigns and the growth of Eastern religions and Islam is surprising, Stephanie discusses the unique challenges of sharing the gospel in France and the inspiring revival happening among French Christians today. Her story is a testament to God's personalized approach to guiding individuals to faith, blending intellectual and relational experiences seamlessly.

    Have you ever felt spiritually dry? We all have. Stephanie and I talk about reframing these periods not as failures but as opportunities to deepen our intimacy with God. We explore the concept of waiting with holy expectancy, transforming discontent into growth and trust in God's broader, gracious will.

    Lastly, we savor the delicious delight of God's goodness through the metaphor of food and spices. Drawing from Psalm 34:8, "Taste and see that the Lord is good," we explore the rich connection between physical senses and spiritual experiences. Personal anecdotes and cultural insights highlight how savoring simple pleasures like cinnamon can lead to profound spiritual insights, making this episode a celebration of cultural diversity, personal growth, and boundless joy in our walk with God.

    Have you ever wondered how ancient Scriptures can support modern mental health? Our special guest, Rachel Schlesinger, shares her transformative journey of reading one Psalm a day, a practice she began in 2013. She takes us through the profound impact of these sacred texts on her emotional well-being, highlighting themes like God's enduring love, His control, and the importance of waiting. Rachel's insights offer a valuable framework for anyone seeking comfort and guidance through life's emotional challenges.

    Finding serenity in today's whirlwind of noise and activity is essential, yet often elusive. Reflecting on Psalm 46:10, "Be still and know that I am God," Rachel discusses the critical need for intentional moments of quietness to reconnect with God's presence. Practical steps, such as documenting insights about God, are shared to deepen our spiritual journey and lessen the stress and anxiety that come from our fast-paced lives. This segment highlights the necessity of stillness in truly hearing God's voice amidst the chaos.

    Ever considered the power of biblical journaling? Rachel and Ellen delve into how documenting spiritual experiences through the Psalms, Proverbs, and Ephesians can serve as a foundation for personal growth and resilience. They explore the life of David as a testament to the fact that perfection is not required to be loved by God. Through personal anecdotes, they reveal how specific Psalms, such as Psalm 84 and Psalm 23, have provided strength and comfort during challenging times. This episode encourages you to consistently show up in faith and embrace your ongoing relationship with God, no matter where you are in life.
