| 6/21/26 | ![]() What Goes Without Being Said - Week 1 | How does our Western/individualistic perspective limit our understanding of the Bible that was written from an Eastern/collectivist perspective? Discover some cultural norms left unsaid in Scripture. Receive As we read Scripture through the lens of our Western culture, this week’s guest, Randy Richards, reminds us that we may miss or misread some key values embedded in the Ancient Near Eastern culture the Bible was written in. Our Western individualist culture values “me” over “we,” but the Eastern collectivist culture that the Bible was set in values kinship, patronage, and brokerage that emphasize the family or group dynamic rather than an individual. Understanding the ancient Mediterranean culture that serves as the backdrop for the Bible can add rich context that can shed a whole new light on some passages of Scripture. How can discovering the cultural context of the Bible help you better understand and apply Scripture to your life? What could your next step toward learning more about the cultural context of the Old and New Testament look like? Reflect What can you learn about the family dynamics between Joseph and his father and brothers by reading Genesis 37 through the lens of valuing kinship, which emphasizes strong family ties and parents mediating between siblings? How does Ephesians 2:8 model the value of patronage, which emphasizes a patron giving a gift to help rescue a loyal friend? How do 1 Timothy 2:5 and 1 John 2:1 model the value of brokerage, which emphasizes having a mediator speak on your behalf? How do you feel reading John 1:12 and 1 Thessalonians 1:4 knowing you are part of God’s family? Based on Matthew 6:3 and Luke 6:35, how are Jesus’ disciples supposed to differ from the patronage culture of that time? How significant is it that Jesus calls His disciples, including you, His friends in John 15:15? Based on Romans 1:20–21 and Psalm 50, how are we to respond to God’s gifts? In Luke 7:1–10, why did the centurion send Jewish elders and then friends to Jesus instead of going to Jesus on his own? Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Dear God, thank You that understanding more of the Bible’s cultural context can help me get a deeper understanding of You! Help me grow in my knowledge of Scripture so I can grow in my love for You! Help me to apply Your words to my life.” Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: Misreading Scripture with Individualist Eyes by our guest E.

| 6/14/26 | ![]() What Are You Worried About? | Struggling with worry and anxiety? No matter what you’re struggling with, discover how to cast your cares on God.Receive It’s easy to feel overwhelmed with worries, cares, and anxious thoughts, but you’re not meant to carry all those burdens on your own. Jesus said not to worry, and the apostle Paul said to cast all your cares on God. What are you worried about? What may be hindering you from trusting God with your worries, anxious thoughts, cares, and concerns? What could your next step toward trusting God more and worrying less look like? Reflect How does it feel knowing that God wants you to cast all your cares on Him as it says in 1 Peter 5:7 and that we’re to be anxious for nothing as you read in Philippians 4:6–7? How does Matthew 6:19–34 help you to not worry so much about tomorrow? How does the good soil Jesus mentioned in His parable found in Luke 8:4–18 differ from the other soil He mentioned? How can you stay focused on what matters most like Mary in Luke 10:38– 42 instead of being distracted by good things like Martha? How does Timothy’s genuine concern for the well-being of the Philippian church that the apostle Paul commended him for in Philippians 2:14–24 differ from unhealthy worry? Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Dear God, thank You that I don’t have to be consumed with worry and anxious thoughts. Thank You that I can go to You with all my cares and concerns. Help me to keep trusting You no matter my circumstances.” Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: Resilient Bible Engagement and "The Power of 4": A Key to Spiritual Growth| Center for Bible Engagement| Our Daily Bread Listen: Resilient Don’t Worry!

| 2/15/26 | ![]() The Fear of the Lord - Week 2 | What happens when people “fear the Lord” in a healthy way? Explore how this can lead to wisdom and relationship with God!Receive The Bible’s wisdom books remind us again and again that the fear of the Lord is where real wisdom begins—and that’s the kind of wisdom we need for everyday life. From big decisions to ordinary moments, we all need God’s perspective to help us navigate what’s in front of us. Proverbs offers that wisdom with a hopeful, “glass half-full” lens, giving practical guidance for daily choices. Ecclesiastes meets us in the tension, naming life’s frustrations and uncertainties with a more “glass half-empty” honesty. And Job takes us deeper, showing that a healthy fear of the Lord isn’t about being afraid—it’s about being drawn into a real, trusting relationship with God as we learn to revere all of who He is, even when life doesn’t make sense. Reflect Read the verses connected with this episode below. As you reflect on the Scripture, what stands out to you? Proverbs 1:5 Proverbs 24:5 Ecclesiastes 1:18 Proverbs 24:3-4 Ecclesiastes 2:20-21 Ecclesiastes 9:11 Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Job Psalm 22:22-24 Psalm 19:7-10 Psalm 25:8-14 Would you say you identify more with the “glass half-full" approach to wisdom in Proverbs, or the “glass half-empty" approach of Ecclesiastes? Job’s story demonstrates that fearing God is relational and not transactional (see Job 1:9). Why is it important to fear God for who He is and not for what He does? How does this type of reverent fear strengthen your relationship with God? God assured Job of His power and presence and unlimited perspective. How did this help Job have a healthy fear of God (see Job 42:1-6)? How can this help you have a healthy fear of God? Fear of the Lord invites you into a deeper relationship with Him (see Psalm 25:14). How can that help you live wisely today? Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Jesus, help me have a healthy fear of God that allows me to live with wisdom throughout my life. Enable me to revere God for who He is and not for what He does so that I may deepen my relationship with You. Open my eyes to see more clearly the wonder and awe of who You are.” Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: Ecclesiastes | Week 1 Ecclesiastes | Week 2 Our Daily Bread Mobile App Listen: Proverbial Wisdom A Life of Wisdom and the Proverbs 31 Woman Read: Reverent Fear Understanding the Bible: The Wisdom Books Watch: Mount Arbel - Sermon on the Mount and the Great Commission | 1h 00m 44s | ||||||
| 2/8/26 | ![]() The Fear of the Lord - Week 1 | We want to live wisely, but that can seem impossible at times. Discover what the Bible means when it says that wisdom begins with “the fear of the Lord.”Receive What does it look like for you to grow in wisdom? Scripture invites you to begin by fearing the Lord—by learning to revere Him for who He truly is and letting that reverence shape your daily choices. Reflect Read the verses connected with this episode below. As you reflect on the Scripture, what stands out to you? Isaiah 10:13 Psalm 107:27 Exodus 28:3 Deuteronomy 34:9 1 Kings 5 Psalm 37:30 Deuteronomy 4:6-7 Proverbs 1:1, 7-8 Proverbs 21:23 Proverbs 3:18 Proverbs 16:7 Proverbs 15:32-33 Proverbs 10:1, 27 Proverbs 25:1 Proverbs 9:10 Proverbs 14:27 Proverbs 19:23 Proverbs 22:4 Proverbs 2:1-5 When you hear Proverbs 1:7 say that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,” what stands out to you personally? How does that shape the way you think about wisdom and learning? As you reflect on Scripture, what kinds of good fruit or growth does the Bible connect with fearing the Lord? Where have you seen any of these take shape in your own life? How does it encourage or comfort you to remember that the benefits of fearing the Lord are meant to guide how we live, rather than serve as promises to hang on to? Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) Jesus, help me to truly revere You—not out of fear that pushes me away, but out of awe that draws me closer. Grow me in wisdom as I learn to trust who You are and submit my heart to You. Show me, day by day, what it looks like to honor You in my thoughts, my choices, and my relationships. Help me recognize how walking in reverence shapes the way I respond to others. May Your wisdom guide me so I can live with a heart that reflects You.

| 2/1/26 | ![]() Let Us - Week 2 | The Bible is a book of invitations, and in this series, we will explore such invitations in the form of "let us" statements inviting us to join in some aspect of the life of the Christ follower. From worship to purity to endurance to love, these invitations welcome us to live with and for our Lord. Receive After exploring some Let Us invitation in the letter to the Hebrews in our last study, is it possible there are other Let Us invitations in other parts of the Bible? Step into five more biblical invitations, outside of Hebrews, that call you to live out your faith in everyday ways: worship God with your whole heart, persevere when faith feels hard, lay aside the sin that holds you back, love others deeply, and put that love into action. Reflect Read the verses connected with this episode below. As you reflect on the Scripture, what stands out to you? Psalm 34:3 How does this invite you into communal worship? Romans 13:12-13 How does this invite you into the sanctification process—that Jesus accomplishes in us? Galatians 6:9 How does this invite you to keep going? 1 John 4:7 How does this invite you to receive and share God’s love? 1 John 3:18 How does this invite you to live out love and not just feel love? Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Jesus, help me embrace the Bible’s invitations to be more like You. Help me worship You. Help me receive the process of sanctification that You accomplish. Help me keep going when things are hard, knowing that You will provide a harvest on the other side. Help me receive and share Your love—by living it out around me.” Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode:Become an Our Daily Bread Ambassador Listen: Spiritual Habits and Training | Week 1 Spiritual Habits and Training | Week 2 Read: Healthy Habits for Spiritual Growth The Ordinary Life of Jesus Watch: New Life in Christ Resilient: Your Invitation to a Jesus-Shaped Life | 1h 04m 50s | ||||||
| 1/25/26 | ![]() Let Us - Week 1 | Have you ever noticed that the phrase “let us...” appears thirteen times in the book of Hebrews? Join us as we explore why this phrase was important to the author and how it invites us to walk with Jesus! Receive Join together with other believers and walk with Jesus through a series of five “let us” invitations from the book of Hebrews: let us hold fast to our faith, let us approach God in prayer, let us grow spiritually mature, let us draw near to God, and let us run our race. Reflect Read the verses connected with this episode below. As you reflect on the Scripture, what stands out to you? Hebrews 4:14 How does this invite you to hold fast to your faith? Hebrews 4:16 How does this invite you into prayer? Hebrews 6:1 How does this invite you into spiritual maturity? Hebrews 10:22-24 How does this invite you to draw near to God? Hebrews 12:1 How does this invite you to run your appointed race with Jesus?

| 1/18/26 | ![]() The Story of Dan - Week 2 | What happens when God’s people worship other things? Find out as we continue exploring the wayward tribe of Jacob’s son Dan with archaeologist Dr. Jonathan Greer. Receive The Danites focus on God but they distort their worship of Him. By subordinating Him to other things, establishing their own version of religion, and lacking justice, they actually keep themselves from God. While their story reveals some important cautions for us today, we can also be encouraged by God’s promise to restore all things. Reflect Read the verses connected with this episode below. As you reflect on the Scripture, what stands out to you? 1 Kings 12:26-30 Exodus 32:4-6 Nehemiah 9:18 1 Kings 12:31-33 Amos 5:18-24 Revelation 7:5-8 Acts 15:1-5 Acts 15:13-18 Jeroboam worshipped God with calf idols which subordinated God (see 1 Kings 12:26-30). Is there a way you may set out to worship God which could actually subordinate Him to other things? Jeroboam divided the religion in northern Israel from the religion in southern Israel for his own purposes (see 1 Kings 12:31-33). What caution can you take away about the danger of distorting God’s ways with personalized religion? The northern Israelites got some things wrong in how they worshipped God (see Amos 5:18-24). What is one way that justice can be included as you worship God? God's redemption is described in both the Old Testament (from Amos 9:11-12) and the New Testament (from Acts 15:13-18). How does this give you hope in God’s restoration of all things? Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Jesus, help me to worship You above everything else and prevent me from subordinating You to anything else. Help me to focus on Your ways and prevent me from distorting Your ways with my own ways. Help me see opportunities to include justice as I worship You. And fill me with assurance that you are restoring all things.” Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: The Holy Land: Connecting the Land with Its Stories Listen: My Three Sons Am I That Hard to Love?

| 1/11/26 | ![]() The Story of Dan - Week 1 | While some Bible stories surprise us, they all help us understand more about God and His plan! Discover how God was faithful to redeem the tribe of Dan and all of Israel with special guest and archaeologist Dr. Jonathan Greer. Receive So much of Dan’s story leaves us saying “That's not the way it's supposed to be.” From his troubling conception to the Danites forced migration, this tribe does things their own way, mixing legitimate devotion to God with misguided methods of worshipping and serving Him. But ultimately, Dan, his family, and his city set the stage for the coming of the One who redeems all things into the way they should be. Reflect Read the verses connected with this episode below. As you reflect on the Scripture, what stands out to you? Genesis 30:1-6 Deuteronomy 27:11-13 Judges 5:17 Judges 1:34 Judges 13:1 Judges 17:1-18 Judges 18:3-10 Judges 18:27-19:1 Dan’s conception began with his mother taking matters into her own hands (from Genesis 30:1-6). In what ways might you be taking a matter in your life into your own hands? Micah wanted to seek God but he didn’t involve God in the process (from Judges 17:1-18). In what ways might you be seeking God without involving Him? The Danites worshipped the true God but they did it in a false way (from Judges 18:3-10). In what ways might you be trying to worship God but miss Him in the process? Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Jesus, help me seek You and find You and worship You with the right motivations. Show me when I may be getting off track following You with the wrong motivations, and lead me to stay on track.” Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: The Holy Land: Connecting the Land with Its Stories Listen: My Three Sons Am I That Hard to Love?
