    Send us a textVeronica unpacks the meaning behind the Hebrew words for joy. She points out that joy is more than a feeling or attitude. Joy has actions - it is a physical experience.

    #219 - Connecting Past, Present and Future with Micah 7:11-20

    Send us a textAs the book of Micah comes to a close, we see connections being made back to the Joshua and the conquest of the land. But then you can go even further back and see connections to the Exodus and the Song of Moses in Exodus 15. Looking back gives Micah and the people hope as they look at their present reality. We can have that same hope because we find similarities in Revelation 15 that our future will have that same redemption story. If you want that podcast Bry...

    #216 - Hearing Tone and Attitude in the Words of Micah 6:1-8

    Send us a textThere is so much tone and attitude in these verses. You'll miss it though if you don't understand the context of the story. Bryan compares this chapter to the closing argument of the courtroom drama. God is pulling in His witnesses (the mountains), and the people are using logic fallacies when they don't want answer God's questions. Ultimately, God tells the people exactly what He expects of them, and we would do well to listen and obey as well.Want to li...
