Kindness and Faithfulness - Ruth - Ruth 2

The Bible For Busy People ·

2025/12/03

Sometimes we come to Ruth 2 expecting a love story, but what we really find is God’s story of provision and faithful kindness. Just like Ruth and Boaz, our ordinary steps of obedience can become the very details God uses to bring redemption and belonging.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4iked7G ----------------We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

Pleasant and Bitter - Ruth - Ruth 1

The Bible For Busy People ·

2025/12/02

Growing up, I thought the Bible was like a fairy tale—full of clear “good guys” and “bad guys.” But as I’ve wrestled with scripture, especially Ruth 1:6–22, I’ve realized faith is far more complex, and God often works through people who are messy, grieving, and imperfect—just like us.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/43V0z57 ----------------We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

Faith and Grief - Ruth - Ruth 1

The Bible For Busy People ·

2025/12/01

Faith has a way of humbling us—reminding that growth often means rethinking what we thought we knew. As I’ve been studying Ruth and Naomi, I’m realizing that God’s Word is alive, and sometimes the story we overlooked is the one He most wants us to see.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/48CzaaA ----------------We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

Rejected Are Invited - Upside-Down Kingdom - Luke 14, 15

The Bible For Busy People ·

2025/11/28

Birthday season at our house is full of balloons, streamers, and joy—but also the stress of endless party planning decisions. All that effort reminds me of Jesus’ parable of the great banquet in Luke 14, where a host pours his heart into preparing a feast only to be met with excuses. The good news is that God’s invitation to His kingdom is even more extravagant, and He throws open the doors to welcome everyone in, celebrating each lost one who comes home.Show Notes:

Poor is Rich - Upside-Down Kingdom - Luke 16, 7,...

The Bible For Busy People ·

2025/11/27

When I sat down with Stacy Cleveland from Vision House recently, I expected practical answers about homelessness—lists of needs, ways to donate, or volunteer opportunities. Instead, she spoke first about isolation, and the power of simply being present with those who feel unseen. Jesus reminds us in Luke 16 that true wealth isn’t measured by what we keep, but by how we see and care for our neighbor, inviting us into a kingdom where compassion is the currency of heaven.Show Notes:

Love Your Enemies - Upside-Down Kingdom - Luke 10,...

The Bible For Busy People ·

2025/11/26

This year another Wicked movie is hitting theaters, and while I may grumble about part one and part two, I can’t help but love the story behind the so‑called “wicked” witch. Her origin reminds us that villains often have complicated pasts, shaped by misunderstanding and mistreatment. Jesus takes this same theme and flips it upside down in Luke 10, showing us that even those we label as enemies—like the Samaritan—can be the very picture of mercy, calling us to love beyond boundaries.Show Notes:

Losing Life Is Saving It - Upside-Down Kingdom - Luke...

The Bible For Busy People ·

2025/11/25

Spoiler alert: some of the most powerful stories in film revolve around sacrifice—characters giving up dreams, comfort, or even their lives so others can flourish. From Casablanca to the Iron Giant to the Avengers, these moments stir us because they echo a deeper truth. Jesus embodies the ultimate sacrifice, turning the world’s logic upside down by giving His life for ours, and inviting us into a kingdom where dying to self leads to life to the full.Show Notes:

Least is Greatest - Upside-Down Kingdom - Luke 9, 14, 18

The Bible For Busy People ·

2025/11/24

What if the very things that feel backwards—like giving instead of keeping, or lowering yourself instead of climbing higher—are the keys to real joy? Behavioral economics professor Dan Ariely points out that life’s contradictions often bring the deepest rewards, and Jesus showed us this counterintuitive way first. In Luke’s gospel, we’re invited into the “Upside Down Kingdom,” where the least become the greatest, release brings freedom, and humility opens the door to God’s lasting peace.Show Notes:

Faith - Of Great Worth - 1 Peter 1, Hebrews 11

The Bible For Busy People ·

2025/11/21

In my Women in the Bible class, I was struck by how the book of Esther never mentions God’s name, yet His presence is woven throughout the story. That silence mirrors seasons in our own lives when God feels distant, but faith calls us to keep seeking Him anyway. Today we’ll look at how trials grow our faith and how steady, everyday obedience positions us to see God at work.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4hRz9Tg ----------------We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

Purity - Of Great Worth - James 1, Matthew 5

2025/11/20

Scripture paints a much fuller picture of purity than what you may have grown up with. James reminds us that true faith is both caring for others and keeping our hearts free from the world’s pollution. Today we’ll explore what it means to pursue a pure heart that is wholehearted toward God and rooted in His love.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4nNuCCI ----------------We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

Generosity - Of Great Worth - 2 Corinthians 9

The Bible For Busy People ·

2025/11/19

When we ask what God values most, Scripture shows us a Father who delights in compassion, love, and generosity. He isn’t distant or domineering, but instead longs for relationship and loves to pour out goodness on His children. Today we’ll explore how His cheerful giving shapes our own call to give with joy and trust in His abundant care.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4ozVbMV ----------------We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

Meekness - Of Great Worth - 1 Peter 3, Matthew 11

The Bible For Busy People ·

2025/11/18

When we first studied 1 Peter, I’ll admit this passage was one I had to wrestle with. It’s often been misunderstood or misapplied, but when we look closer, we see it’s not about silencing women—it’s about cultivating a heart that reflects God. Today, let’s dig into what it really means to have the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit that is precious in His sight.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4nR27UG ----------------We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

You - Of Great Worth - Luke 12

2025/11/17

I’ve come to believe God has a way of speaking right through the radio, with lyrics that land exactly when I need them most. Sometimes they make me laugh, sometimes they bring me to tears, but always they remind me of His presence in the everyday. And recently, one song in particular pointed me back to Scripture and the truth that God values us deeply—setting the stage for today’s reflection.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4hZOJMY ----------------We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the

Religion - Worthless - Matthew 6

The Bible For Busy People ·

2025/11/14

Religion can be a beautiful part of our faith—but when it becomes the goal instead of the guide, it can lose its purpose. God never designed us for rule-following alone; He created us for relationship. Let's explore how even good things like religious practices can become worthless when they replace the One they’re meant to point us toward.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4nvpYZT ----------------We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

Idols - Worthless - Acts 8, Jeremiah 2, 10

The Bible For Busy People ·

2025/11/13

It’s easy to laugh at a giant golden bunny in a kids’ Bible movie—but idolatry isn’t always so obvious. Sometimes, the things we trust most quietly take God’s place in our hearts, leaving us stressed, disconnected, and chasing fulfillment that never comes. Today, we’re naming those hidden idols and turning back to the One who truly satisfies.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3XeA9qY ----------------We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

Faithlessness - Worthless - Matthew 25

The Bible For Busy People ·

2025/11/11

Fear is a powerful force—wired into our bodies to protect us, but not meant to control us. Scripture reminds us that the fear of God is not dread, but reverence that moves us to faithful action. Let's dig deeper into how fear can either bury what God has given us or propel us to use it boldly for His glory.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4nA5fEc ----------------We’d love to encourage you to spend even more time in the Word.

2025/11/10

Ever traded something you thought was valuable, only to realize it was a counterfeit? The world is full of shiny promises that don’t deliver—but God’s kingdom flips the script, offering true worth not in what we achieve, but in who we are in Christ.
