Achieving Financial Freedom (To Leave Eternal Impact) | Bob and Linda Lotich
Today we are going to be talking about “How managing our money can be made simple.” As Christians, God has called us to manage our money well and to be good stewards of that money. Being responsible with the gifts He has given us and extending that blessing to others is pleasing to God. Inviting Him into our financial planning and goal-setting is a key component to our financial success. So many of us, however, struggle in the area of money management and finances. Not that we intend to ever be irresponsible with what God has given us, but it can be easy to overspend and get caught up in having all the latest “stuff,” and before you know it, you’re in debt, panicked, and looking for a way out. Our guests today, Bob & Linda Lotich, authors of the book, Simple Money, Rich Life are here to help us to see that money doesn’t have to be complicated or overwhelming, it can actually be made simple. They will show us that we don’t have to be financial experts to be successful with our finances.

Finding God’s Good Gifts in Motherhood | Laura Booz
Today we are going to be “Learning about God through the gift of motherhood.” Being a mother is a hard job. One that can make us feel unseen and uncelebrated as we go about our daily “mom tasks” of serving, cleaning, caring, guiding, and much more. It’s no doubt, a challenging call by God. Here to encourage both new and seasoned moms is Laura Booz, author of the book, “Expect Something Beautiful: Finding God’s Good Gifts in Motherhood.” Laura wants to share with us that behind all of the giving that mothers do is the receiving of something special—a profound growth in God that is cultivated through motherhood’s everyday ups and downs.Link to the Coffee and Bible Time Blog PostCoffee and Bible Time Prayer Journal Coffee and Bible Time Prayer Binder Coffee and Bible Time Church Group Promo Book - Expect Something BeautifulLaura Booz WebsiteESV Journaling BibleSharpie Gel PensPost-It NotesJournalFavorite App: YouVersion 5 Day Reading PlansGot a question or something on your heart?

I Invited An Atheist to Church | Craig Cooper
Today we will be talking about “unlikely friendships and how God works in our everyday lives to show the love of Christ to others.” Our guest today, Craig Cooper is co-author of the book, “Glad You’re Here: Two Unlikely Friends Breaking Bread and Fences.” This book was written with his close friend and neighbor, singer/songwriter, Walker Hayes. Craig will be chatting with us today about one of the greatest gifts God can give, and that is the gift of friendship. More specifically, we will be hearing about the friendship between Craig and Walker, which is a friendship that seemed very unlikely to happen, and how it transpired into two friends that are as close as brothers.Coffee and Bible Time Prayer Journal Coffee and Bible Time Prayer Binder Coffee and Bible Time Church Group PromoBook: Glad You're Here IG: @craigallencooper Craig's WebsiteCraig's Bible: ESV Version JournalBible CommentaryApp: Reading Plan App Got a question or something on your heart?

How to Stay on Fire for God | Jonni Parsons
Today we are going to be talking about “Igniting our faith and keeping that fire for God alive every day.” Have you ever been absolutely fired up for God one day only to have that thrilling and energizing feeling fizzle out a short time later? Perhaps it’s an impassioned church service that made us want to shout to the world our love and loyalty to God or serve others with a glad heart, but then a few days of living our everyday lives go by and we wonder to ourselves, what happened to that fire? Our guest today, Jonni Parsons, author of the new book Ignited: A Fresh Approach to Getting—and Staying—on Fire for God, will be talking about what we need to change in our quest for a sustainable passionate faith using Scripture and her own personal journey.Visit our blog comment section to share your thoughts on this podcast episode:https://www.coffeeandbibletime.com/post/how-to-keep-your-fire-for-god-from-fizzling-outCoffee and Bible Time Prayer JournalCoffee and Bible Time Prayer BinderChurch Group Special - (Promo Code: PODCAST) to receive offer to buy 9 Prayer Journals or Prayer Binders and get the 10th one free when you purchase either the How to Pray Using the Prayer Journal course or the How to Pray Using the Prayer Binder course.Alabaster Co. - Use promo code CBTPROMO for 10% offBook: IgnitedWebsite: jonninicole.comIG: @jonninicoleBible: R.C.

A Biblical Guide to Sex | Dr. Juli Slattery
Today we are going to be talking about “God’s design for marriage and more specifically, sexual intimacy in marriage.” Learning more about this topic is an avenue to learn more about God’s covenant love. God desires to make us more like himself, and sex within marriage can be a powerful training ground for godly character. Sadly, many Christian couples struggle immensely in this area of marriage, but that’s not God’s desire for any Christian couple. Our guest today, Dr. Juli Slattery, author of the book, “God, Sex, and Your Marriage will be sharing with us how to apply a biblical framework to the practical challenges in sexual intimacy that some couples may face.Visit our blog comment section to share your thoughts on this podcast episode:https://www.coffeeandbibletime.com/post/a-biblical-guide-on-sexual-intimacyCoffee and Bible Time Prayer JournalCoffee and Bible Time Prayer BinderChurch Group Special - (Promo Code: PODCAST) to receive offer to buy 9 Prayer Journals or Prayer Binders and get the 10th one free when you purchase either the How to Pray Using the Prayer Journal course or the How to Pray Using the Prayer Binder course.Alabaster Co. - Use promo code CBTPROMO for 10% offBook: God, Sex, and Your MarriageWebsite: authenticintimacy.comBible: ESV Study BibleSimply Bible Study ToolsFavorite App: Blue Letter BibleGot a question or something on your heart?

Your Relationship with Food Affects Your Relationship with God | Erin Davis
Today we are going to be talking about “Finding freedom from an unhealthy relationship with food.” For some of us, our relationship with food can be a constant source of regret, frustration, and shame. For others, it feels like a God-given blessing. Our guest today, Erin Davis, author of the new book, “Fasting & Feasting: 40 Devotions to Satisfy the Hungry Heart,” has experienced all sorts of complicated responses to food. She’s discovered that God’s Word celebrates food as a gift while simultaneously inviting us to surrender every area of our lives—including what we put on our plates. Erin will share with us how to join in the Biblical rhythms of fasting and feasting.Visit our blog comment section to share your thoughts on this podcast episode:https://www.coffeeandbibletime.com/post/the-intersection-between-your-relationship-with-food-and-your-relationship-with-god Coffee and Bible Time Prayer JournalCoffee and Bible Time Prayer BinderChurch Group Special - (Promo Code: PODCAST) to receive offer to buy 9 Prayer Journals or Prayer Binders and get the 10th one free when you purchase either the How to Pray Using the Prayer Journal course or the How to Pray Using the Prayer Binder course.Alabaster Co. - Use promo code CBTPROMO for 10% offBook: Fasting & FeastingWebsite & Podcast: erindavis.orgBible: ESV w/ Wide MarginsGot a question or something on your heart?
