S2, Ep. 15: Be Still, Part 2: "God Help!"

Is the Bible reliable? Is it really the Word of God? If you have faced the argument, "The Bible isn't reliable because it is full of contradictions," this episode is for you.

In this episode, our host answers tough questions about the authority of the Bible or the God-breathed Word of God. He shows examples of how, historically, people had twisted the Word for their own agendas. He also presents historical, secular, and theological evidence for the reliability of the Gospels and the New and Old Testament.

Listen to this episode to learn more about the compelling evidence for the Bible and how Hebrews chapter 11 builds an intellectual and logical case for the Christian faith. Click on the episode to learn more.

And now for something completely different.

No, this is not Monty Python, but this episode of Coffee With Jesus will be a little bit different from most. Typically, our hosts, guests and guest hosts will share testimonies of their trials and tribulations. They'll talk about how God helped them through, carried them and strengthened them.

It is our hope, that in sharing these testimonies and showing you how God helped us, you will have the comfort and encouragement you need to make it through your own trials.

In this episode, our host is doing something different. He has recently experienced an event that will lead to a trial in his own personal life, and over this episode and a follow up or two, he'll share, virtually real time, how God is helping him before, during and after the trial he is experiencing.

Listen as our host shares what is going on in his personal life. Join us on this journey as he tries trusting God from the beginning, knowing that God will take care of things now, just as God has always taken care of things in the past.

Artic blast! 30 year snow storm! And no lights…

What do a young toddler learning to ice skate, a complicated move back to college and a record winter event have in common? 

To answer this question, our host talks about what he saw and experienced in three separate instances when pain, distress, and anxiety collided. He shares a constant of what those involved in these three situations did.  

Our host had no lights and had to venture out into the snow and ice. While his fall was metaphorical, he reached out to His Heavenly Father. A loving Father who cares and provides beyond what we think we need.

Listen as our host shares stories of recent events that had him reaching out to our Father in Heaven. Learn how to reach out to the Lord when you fall, and rest safe and secure in our Father’s arms.

"One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.  The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. " (Romans 14:5-6, ESV)

Christmas day in Afghanistan...Christmas eve back in the U.S.A. Our host was video chatting with is family when those dreaded words came over the loudspeaker:

INCOMING, INCOMING, INCOMING!

It happened right after breakfast. A thundering and loud BOOM shook a military base in Afghanistan. There was dust everywhere, like that of an enraged sandstorm. Shattered buildings, walls caved in, and a video revealed the story of how 1,500 pounds of high explosives threatened the lives of those in the military base.

War is scary. War seems to be everywhere. Christians around the world are feeling a sense of dread and anxiety. Is World War 3 about to start? Is Nuclear War imminent? 

Israel has officially and formally declared war for the first time in 50 years.  Russia has continued in its invasion of Ukraine. Azerbaijan is poised to invade its neighbor.  What does this mean?  What do we do when it seems like the world is on fire?

The first step is to take a deep breath and realized that God is in control. It may seem like a cliche, but sharing an experience from his time in Afghanistan, our host explains that God really is in control.

Listen to this episode to see how God carries us through the storms of this life. Do not let the storms of this life overwhelm you.  Take comfort in the knowledge that God is in control, in every situation, and He will not only hear your cry, but rescue you.

Every detail of the short trip was carefully planned: flights, car rental, route to the hotel, enjoying the time away, and then back. But that short layover in the Dallas/Fort Worth airport was concerning. Will they have time to make the flight connection? Will their luggage make it on time? 

When worry showed up, our host decided to pray and trust that “God is in the details.” But what does it mean that God is in the details? 

To explain this, our host shares an account of both what did and did not happen on that trip. He says, “Regardless of the situation you find yourself in, God is with you, and He is in the details. God takes care of you.”

Listen to this episode to know why our host can look back at the events as they transpired and know that God’s hand was taking care of him and his wife. In the same way, know that God is there when things go well, and He is there when things are not going well.

God is always with you, always taking care of you. Be encouraged; God is in the details.
