Working with the Word workingwiththeword

We've come to the decision to end the show and hang up the mics for now. In our final episode we discuss what we've learned over the past 2+ years about working together and the spiritual value of good digital media. We also want to thank our regular listeners, guests we've had on the show, and those who have helped or support us along the way. Finally, there is one more question we need to answer for ourselves before we sign off!

We close out our series exploring the why, what, and how of devotional reading with an interview with Mark McCrary. We discuss the importance of discernment in choosing devotional aids and building upon a solid foundation of Bible knowledge. Mark also shares his current process of reading a chapter of the Bible at a time with a specific focus to help  jumpstart our own discovery of God through the Word.

In our third installment of our Devotional Bible Reading series, teacher and writer Dene Ward reminds us of the basics of Bible study - look for life connections, use a pencil and paper, and always ask questions. This conversation is also full of great nuggets of Biblical wisdom scattered throughout, especially for those who teach the Bible.

On this show we frequently talk about the "Inductive Study Method," but that is just one of many tools that help us study the Bible. In this year's Final Four series, we will talk about the value and importance of reading the Bible devotionally. In this episode Jason Hardin helps us kick off the series by emphasizing our need to delight in and meditate on God's Word.

Ezekiel's vision of the temple in chapters 40-48 is the source of many Bible students' questions, glazed eyes, and even strange speculations. Sid Latham helps us demystify this section of Scripture by setting it in the context of the whole Bible in general, and in the context of Ezekiel specifically. When connected to its fulfillment in Christ and His church, this vision is rich with application.
