Hey, Reader, A while back I asked you fine people what your biggest struggles were with Bible study. You told me it was consistency. (BTW, thank you for responding to the email) I definitely know how hard it can be! You intended to get up early or stay up after everyone has gone to bed or use your lunch hour. Then life gets in the way. Health issues flare up. The car breaks down. Stuff happens. I am reminded every day how blessed we are to be in a country where we can freely study the Bible....

I know the last few days have been sort of confusing. I deeply apologize for that. The core of the channel and the reason I started this YouTube channel was to continue the Bible study, fellowship, and community I had during my 11 months as an intern at my local church. Somewhere along the way, it became about reviews Bibles and Bible study tools. And while there's nothing wrong with that, I don't believe that is the best way for me to serve you. Did I have an exciting new business idea the...

Hey Reader, Something wild just happened on a livestream. I declared a new focus: helping faith-based creators launch video podcasts without the tech or strategy headaches.

You shouldn't let tech overhead silence your...

Hey, Reader Today, in the United States, is a day of remembrance as we remember the lives lost in the terror attacks on 9/11/2001. I was deployed on a supply ship in the Indian Ocean when I saw the terror attacks on the news. It was dinner time and the news was the only thing we could all agree on to watch each day during meals. It was surreal day and I had only been a commissioned naval officer for 4 months. My job that day was to reassure my sailors and prepare them for the uncertainty that...

Hey! I wanted to send this out to my entire list because I think these deals are relevant to all of you. But first, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving if you celebrate. We had dinner at my mom's house and she let me bring food for the first time ever! And I'm 42 years old! I took Chesapeake cole slaw, sweet potatoes with apple butter, and caramelize brussel sprouts with pancetta. My real reason for sending this email is to give you a list of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals I...
