  1. Episode 6

    Matthew 6: Giving, Prayer, and the Cure for Worry

    Tonight, rest in Matthew chapter 6. On the hillside above the lake, Jesus teaches that giving, prayer, and fasting belong to the Father who sees in secret, gives his disciples the Lord's Prayer, and then calls them away from storing up earthly treasure and from anxious worry, pointing to the birds of the air and the wildflowers of the field, and telling them to seek first the kingdom of God. This is the New Testament, narrated by Jesus, one full chapter every evening, told as if he were remembering and retelling it himself, over cinematic illustration. Let the day go. Let the words rest on you before you sleep. ⏱ Tonight's chapter: Matthew 6 🌙 Tomorrow evening: Matthew 7 WHAT THIS SERIES IS "The Shepherd" is the evening pillar of Your Gentle Kingdom: the whole New Testament, one chapter at a time, in clear modern English, read slowly enough to actually hear.

  2. Episode 7

    Matthew 7: The Narrow Gate and the House on the Rock

    Tonight we come to Matthew, chapter seven, the last words of the sermon on the hillside. The crowd has been sitting in the grass a long while, and now Jesus turns to the hardest part of all: not what you do with God, but what you do with each other. Do not judge. Take the plank out of your own eye. Ask, and it will be given to you. Do to others what you would have them do to you. Enter through the narrow gate. Know the false prophets by their fruit. And then the last picture of the whole sermon, two men, two houses, one storm. Chapter summary: In the closing section of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus warns against hypocritical judging, urges persistent prayer, gives the golden rule, calls people to the narrow gate, warns about false prophets known by their fruit, and ends with the parable of the two builders, leaving the crowds amazed at his authority. This is THE SHEPHERD, our evening long-form series: one full New Testament chapter every night, told in Jesus's own voice, over a slow illustrated journey through the world he walked. 🌙 Tomorrow evening: Matthew 8. If these evenings are becoming part of how you end your day, subscribe and turn on the bell so the next chapter finds you.
