What do you do when God doesn’t meet your expectations? In this episode of Live the Bible, we’ll turn to the book of Mark to answer that tough question. We all have an idea about what life will be like when we say yes to following Jesus. The first disciples certainly had their expectations too! And Jesus disappointed them. But why does God let us experience the hurt, disappointment, and anger of unmet expectations?

Almost everybody knows the Bible says, “Judge not.” But what does that really mean? In this episode of Live the Bible, we examine one of the most popular verses in the Bible, “Judge not, that ye not be judged” (Matthew 7:1).

It’s possible to stay busy for God—and still drift far from Him. A full calendar. An empty heart. Not long ago, God’s people were showing up, singing loud, and going through the motions. Yet their hearts had grown cold. In this episode of Live the Bible, we turn to the last book of the Old Testament, Malachi, who cuts through empty religion and calls us back to what God actually wants—a humble walk with Him.

Why do you do what you do? In this episode of Live the Bible, we take a look at our habits and ask that very question. We all have habits, including ones for the spiritual things we do. And we follow them religiously. But WHY? And why does what we do matter to God—or does it?

Could you list your top 3 priorities? Yep, me too. But how about when we try to actually live them? In this episode of Live the Bible, we see that the Bible is not just a Sunday textbook. And during the week, it’s not just devotional material to go with our morning coffee.

Failure, shame, regret. Just pick one, and we’ve all experienced it. And we’d all like to forget it. This episode of Live the Bible is one you may want to listen to all alone. Why? Because we’re going to talk about the subject of personal shame. encouragement when our consciences are working overtime to condemn us.
