It’s easy to fall into the trap of wanting our service to be noted and praised by men and women. But what really matters is being faithful in what God has given us to do, however small it may seem. And who knows how God will take a little thing that you’ve done and make it a great blessing for others?

Maybe for you, becoming a better reader looks like reading more books, and with greater joy and understanding. For others it might mean becoming a more humble, Christlike reader—one who wears his or her learning lightly. There’s something here for everyone as Mike and Matthew share these eight tips from their own life as readers:

• read with a pen
• bundle with joy
• read with others
• slay your perfectionism
• read multiple books at once
• give a book only the level of attention it deserves
• be fussy about what books you choose
• read humbly

Sometimes in the weakness of our minds, we find ourselves weighed down again by guilt for sins from our past. Today’s gospel teaching on the podcast speaks to that exact issue. Mike and Matthew provide some practical counsel on how we can get past that tendency (think PLM!), but first they spend some extensive time looking into the Day of Atonement. The second goat on the Day of Atonement visibly took the people’s sins away – and the goat wasn’t brought back! Atonement is an important subject and helps us to understand what Christ has done for us on the cross, so it is worthwhile taking some time to dig into a truth that is vital to Leviticus and fundamental to our faith.
