Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder Podcast artwork

Be With Me is a daily 7 minute chronological walk through the New Testament hosted by Michael Smith. It is for everyone who is curious about what Jesus actually said and did in the gospels. Most episodes will leave you with at least one good thought to chew on for the rest of the day. We start with the Bible and hopefully end with Awe. We are walking through the chronological events of Jesus' life and then thoughtfully considering them. It is meant to spur the devotional life of the Christian and the not-yet-Christian. We occasionally venture into the Old Testament when it helps our understanding of the New Testament events. Everybody has 7 minutes. Everybody needs to wonder. Be With Me is hosted by Michael Smith who has absolutely no special qualifications to do a podcast. He is not a pastor. He has not been to seminary. He does not lead a mega-church. He is not a professional and he has no more credentials than you do. He does, however, follow a great God with an observant eye and a curious heart. Each day, he starts with a study bible and aims for astonishment. ‘be with him’ for 7 minutes as he sets out daily to discover the God who invites us to ‘Be With Me.’

If you are not worshipping God, you are not in right relationship with God. To know God is to worship Him. There is no knowing Him without worshipping Him.

Today, we'll see God's big reveal and then the challenge: Will you worship Me

Sexual Conversations are Spiritual Conversations 28e30 Jn4:13

Dec 09 2024 6 mins

The disclosure of one's sexual history and sexual present reveals what one believes about God. Having a sexual conversation led to having a spiritual conversation. For the woman at the well, this conversation then heads toward understanding worship. She is thirsty. She is feisty. She is curious. Perhaps you are too.

Sexual Transparency. How unsettling! s28e29 John 4:10

Dec 08 2024 6 mins

A Samaritan woman finds herself "sexually-transparent" before Jesus. Everything she has ever done with her zipper. Everyone she's done it with. Even everything that has gone on in her head. I do not think one can underestimate how UNSETTLING this would have been for her. Similarly, if we were seen as sexually-transparent, I'd expect some unsettledness too. It is in that context tha

Join me today to discover one of the essential ingredients to having the spiritual light-bulb ignite inside you: CURIOSITY.

The Problem with SAMARIA s28e26 Jn4:1

Dec 05 2024 7 mins

Many devout Jews wouldn't set foot in Samaria, much less talk to anyone there, much less a woman. There was a 700 year old problem that never went away in Samaria. It was as if there was a "Mini-Assyria" that lived right in the middle part of Israel. No wonder the Jews hated people from there, and even the area itself. https://youtu.be/-DYay7p30aE

WRATH remaining or removal? I recommend removal s28e25 jn3:31

Dec 04 2024 6 mins

Someday, we'll worship God for His righteous wrath. Meantime, we'd best deal with its pointy end. Anyone and everyone starts out with WRATH REMAINING upon us. None of us is holy. But good news, if we SET OUR SEAL or belief, the wrath is removed. This is very good wrath news. https://youtu.be/QqfYizntgPY

Getting Deplatformed For Someone Better s28e24 Jn3:22

Dec 03 2024 6 mins

Teachers need followers and students. Today, John the Baptist, the greatest man that ever lived (said Jesus), gets DEPLATFORMED. He voluntarily recognizes and even fosters his DECREASE and facilitates the Lord's INCREASE. It is a wonderful story of correct perspective.I'm not quite ready for that process regarding this podcast, so please subscribe. ;-)https://youtu.be/xFChoLROtsE

The BAD news to the GOOD news is 1” away s28e23 Jn3:19

Dec 02 2024 7 mins

Sometimes help is nearer than we think. For all the darkness loving, light hating, and standing condemned that the Bible has for us, there is help nearby. In fact, what struck me after much of the bad news of John 3 verse 18 is that rescue is literally ONE INCH AWAY in John 3:16. If you are bereft and undone, as is so frequent before God, He doesn't leave you there! Just 1" away is
