  • Being a Christian in the technological revolution

    For thousands of years studying the Bible has been about having a scroll read to you, looking at a stained glass window in a cathedral, or making notes in a time worn Bible. But now the internet means we have a million new ways to read (or ignore) the Bible. It can be overwhelming! Thank you, Jenn, for using Internet technology, podcasting, blog posts, and an online store to bring the Truth of the Bible to people hungry for the word of God and thirsty for His Wisdom!

  • Answered prayer

    It was difficult to just sit and read the bible for me. I felt I did not understand what I was reading. I started to worry about my salvation. I searched podcasts and God pointed me to this podcast and now I truly understand the bible and feel closer to God. Thank you Jenn for sharing God’s word with us! I started from the beginning and I am so excited to listen to more and more episodes. I also am about to do your Bible study. Out of the Mire.

I absolutely enjoy my time reading along with Jenn and hearing her breakdown each scripture. What an absolute blessing because it’s finally clicking! I also really love Jenn’s humor and laugh!

  • One of my favorite podcasts!

    I love this show! I love the way Jenn teaches and the background/context she brings to the verses is so helpful. Plus she seems to really enjoy doing it and her joy is infectious! I went back to the beginning so I’m only in Numbers but so far I love it. I learned so much about Leviticus which is a book I never understood or enjoyed reading until listening to her explain it!

    My only complaint is that I don’t like to listen on YouTube, but I can’t find the seasons tab on Podcasts anymore. When I... more

2 Chronicles 17 - God Is Ready To Help

1 Timothy 3:1-7 - 15 Qualifications For Pastors and Elders
Q: What happens if a new convert becomes an elder?
They should not be offered a leadership role too quickly due to the risk of pride and not being grounded in their faith.
1 Timothy 3:1-7 - 15 Qualifications For Pastors and Elders
Q: What about adult children who are not following God? Does that disqualify an elder?
It's debated; adult children make their own choices, and parents shouldn't be charged for their sins, but training kids well is important.
1 Timothy 3:1-7 - 15 Qualifications For Pastors and Elders
Q: What about a single man or one without children, can he be qualified to be an elder?
Yes, because Paul and many disciples were unmarried, a wise single man can still be a suitable elder.
1 Timothy 3:1-7 - 15 Qualifications For Pastors and Elders
Q: Can an elder be divorced and still be qualified?
It can depend on circumstances such as if the spouse left or if there was infidelity; some argue such divorces don't disqualify a man from being an elder.
