Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder
1,571 episodes - English - Latest episode: 22 days ago -Be With Me is a daily 7 minute chronological walk through the New Testament hosted by Michael Smith. It is for everyone who is curious about what Jesus actually said and did in the gospels. Most episodes will leave you with at least one good thought to chew on for the rest of the day. We start with the Bible and hopefully end with Awe. We are walking through the chronological events of Jesus' life and then thoughtfully considering them. It is meant to spur the devotional life of the Christian and the not-yet-Christian. We occasionally venture into the Old Testament when it helps our understanding of the New Testament events. Everybody has 7 minutes. Everybody needs to wonder. Be With Me is hosted by Michael Smith who has absolutely no special qualifications to do a podcast. He is not a pastor. He has not been to seminary. He does not lead a mega-church. He is not a professional and he has no more credentials than you do. He does, however, follow a great God with an observant eye and a curious heart. Each day, he starts with a study bible and aims for astonishment. ‘be with him’ for 7 minutes as he sets out daily to discover the God who invites us to ‘Be With Me.’

April 28, 2024 08:00 - 6 minutes - 4.67 MBSend us a Text Message. We just had a total solar eclipse here in Ohio. It emphasized the importance of the sun by having it lost to us for a few minutes. Notice with me in Genesis that God made the sun and set it to give light and to rule. We wondered on eclipse-day, how long the world would last if the eclipse did not go away? We thought NOT LONG.

What will you do with your CROWN? S27e91 Rev 22:12
April 15, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 5.13 MBSend us a Text Message. Christians get a little squirmy about the topic of receiving REWARDS in heaven.

He repeatedly reminds us that TIME IS SHORT, or at least YOUR time is short. So then, if my known time is coming to an end, how shall I live? If you ...

April 13, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 4.91 MBSend us a Text Message. I cannot help but mention the evil NAZI Major Arnold Toht whose face melted when opening the ark in the Indiana Jones movie. Today's passage is exactly the opposite of death and face melting. God grants a new privilege for believers in heaven: it is the ability to SEE HIS FACE and not die. We were originally designed for such intimacy. It has been absent since we got kicked out of the Garden of Eden. Listen to 7 minutes and enjoy the thought of such access to G...
