We’re BACK for Season #7, y’all! Can you believe it? What started with a handful of listeners in June 2020 has grown into a multi-platform, award-winning podcast with listeners in over 45 different countries (seriously I don’t know ANYBODY in Morocco! BIG shoutout to Morocco, we love you!)! We’re coming up on our 6th year of this lil’ ol’ flagship podcast, and we couldn’t possibly be more grateful to you all for making us what we are! This show is what it is because of Y-O-U!

And we’re kicking off Season 7 by highlighting an EXTREMELY important theme for us all…..and frankly, it’s one which you’re gonna hear us promoting repeatedly because of its HIGH DEGREE of significance: and that’s the theme of BIBLICAL LITERACY.

Biblical literacy is the ability to read, understand, interpret, and apply the Bible's overall message and context, and the TRUTH which it holds. It’s more than just “having read the Bible”….it’s having read it AND UNDERSTOOD IT such that it starts to shape your worldview and CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK AND LIVE.

But too many people are Biblically ILLITERATE…that is, they do not put a premium on reading the Bible and understanding what they’ve read such that they APPLY it to their daily actions. We’re supposed to “feed ourselves” on the Word of God….but too many times, it appears as if people have gone on a “hunger strike” from the Word, instead.

Come fellowship with us as we kick off Season 7 as we discuss what happens when people deliberately refuse to feed themselves on the Word of God….and how, as a result, the Lord reacts TOWARDS that type of purposeful “Hunger Strike”!

We continue our “Fall Features” Series with another special guest interview…and it’s a topic with which our “Deeper in the Word” audience should be VERY familiar!

Because this episode, we are joined by renown author, speaker and Bible teacher, Ms. Ava Pennington of Bible Study Fellowship International, who will discuss her new book, entitled Flourish: Grace-Centered Practices to Protect and Grow a Fruitful Life in Christ, which is designed to help readers grow in their Christian walk, specifically through fostering a greater understanding and applicability of the Fruit of the Spirit in their lives (as those nine attributes are outlined in the Book of Galatians 5:22-23).

Join us as we learn how to cultivate these spiritual characteristics and disciplines in our lives so that we are effectively “Bearing Fruit” for the Lord!

Join is as we kick off our special "Fall Features" Series - where we will feature a special guest interview every week - with our first installment of the series and our discussion with award-winning Gospel recording artist Darius Paulk and a show we've entitled, "Must Be the Music!"

Yunno…if you’ve ever been involved in a custody battle – or know someone who has – you know they can be long and protracted…AND, they can get extremely ugly at times. Truly, custody battles often can and do get VERY bitter and bring out the very worst in people.

When we speak about the “fruit of our labors”, we’re talking about the outcome or rewards of our efforts in doing something…..that is, you see that the work you put into doing something starts to pay off.

Well, when we talk about following Christ and trying to live a Christlike existence, there are certain markers or qualities which prove whether or not you will see the fruit of your labors; that is, whether you’ll be able to tell if your efforts are paying off. They are known as the fruit of the Spirit, and these nine characteristics demonstrate that the Holy Spirit is present in your life. So how do you go about manifesting them, and how can you tell if you truly embody them?

Come fellowship with us during this week’s episode of “Deeper in the Word”, as we explore the nine fruit of the Spirit in order to allow us to examine our lives and see if our efforts to live Christlike are proving the “Fruit of Our Labors”!
