Coffee and Bible Time Podcast

Come along as we discover a fresh approach to moving, fueling, and loving your body well!  Pursuing the healthiest version of you means learning to love the reflection in the mirror.  Our guest today, Jennifer Wagner understands this all too well. From looking at her today, you wouldn’t know that she used to weigh 336 pounds. During her 16-year health and wellness journey, she has felt the deep anguish of torment from peers and strangers, let the scale dictate her moods, and cried herself to sleep all because of her "imperfect" body. But ultimately, Jennifer realized that to overcome the overwhelming negative feelings about her body, she needed to start with her mind and let go of all the expectations of perfection that were keeping her from being the best version of herself.  Let’s embark on this journey with Jennifer as your guide and learn to live a life of healthy habits and positive motivation to take care of your good body.

Today we are talking about “Helping productivity-minded women find peace and satisfaction in God-first living through setting spiritual goals”.  It’s the start of a new year, and it is the perfect time of the year to reflect on the past and look to the future.  I think it’s common for most people to set life goals for the new year.  You know, like lose 10 pounds, read one book a month, do a 5k, etc.  But are we, as women of God, evaluating our spiritual priorities and making God our top priority in everyday living for the new year?  Our guest today, Karina Dusenbury, from We Abide Together ministries, will be talking about God-first living and goal setting.  But the primary purpose of this type of goal setting isn’t to help you achieve more.  Its primary purpose is to help you live more faithfully.  Watch this on YouTube: https://youtu.be/g-omD1RugqwCoffee and Bible Time - Prayer Journal and Prayer BinderFaithful Counseling (sponsor) - Get 10% off your first monthInstacart (sponsor) - Free delivery for new customers on first order!Join our Coffee and Bible Time Crew: Bible & FriendsWe Abide Together  | http://weabidetogether.com ESV Study Bible  | https://amzn.to/3HF89TR YouVersion  | https://www.youversion.com/the-bible-app/Got a question or something on your heart?

Learn how to find practical ways to put Christ-centered activities into action to enrich your own Christmas and impact others for His glory.  It’s easy to get caught up in worldly holiday preparations that impact ourselves and our immediate families.  But what can we do to make sure that Christ is front-and-center in our preparation, celebration and outreach of Christmas?  Mentor Mama shares tips and ideas to do just that from her own personal experiences as well as from an Advent book by Asheritah Ciuciu called “Unwrapping the Names of Jesus”.  In this book not only does Asheritah prepare our hearts for Christ’s coming through weekly Advent devotions, but she also provides service-oriented ideas and suggestions for activities that put our hearts for Christ in action.Coffee and Bible Time - Prayer Journal and Prayer BinderFaithful Counseling (sponsor) - Get 10% off your first monthInstacart (sponsor) - Free delivery for new customers on first order!Join our Coffee and Bible Time Crew: Bible & Friends Unwrapping the Names of Jesus: An Advent Devotional  | https://amzn.to/3p7hRI6 Girl Pride Africa  | https://www.girlprideafrica.org.za/The Prison Fellowship  | https://www.prisonfellowship.org/?mwm_id=383989518175&gclid=CjwKCAiAh_GNBhAHEiwAjOh3ZERBmgBimHS-nA2Ma4IP1kBK3ZjueiP4rwRouk_RosuSR3WMn80QpBoCWeMQAvD_BwE Band-in-a-Box  | https://amzn.to/32e7wkw Fisher-Price Little People Nativity  | https://amzn.to/3mhRzRB Make Your Own Paper Snowflakes  | https://amzn.to/32bGjPy The Perfect Christmas Carol Lyric Book  | https://amzn.to/3IZU44Q The Advent Book  | https://adventbook.com/the-advent-book/ How to Make Homeless Care Kits  | https://allgiftsconsidered.com/how-Got a question or something on your heart?

Today we are going to be talking about “The Difficult Words of Jesus”.  Have you ever been reading the New Testament and heard the words of Jesus and been completely puzzled?  Well, if so, you are not alone.  Some of the words of Jesus challenge not only beginners, but even seasoned students of scripture.  Thankfully we have scholars who have spent years and years studying the scriptures to help us understand them better.  I’m so honored to have with us today, Amy-Jill Levine, who with her sharp intellect, humor, and imagination, will bring these challenging texts alive for us and invite us in as active participants in the gospel story.  AJ Levine is University Professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies, and Mary Jane Werthan Professor of Jewish Studies Emerita at Vanderbilt Divinity School and College of Arts and Science.  She is an internationally renowned scholar and teacher, she is the author of numerous books including her latest release:  The Difficult Words of Jesus: A Beginner’s Guide to His Most Perplexing Teachings.Coffee and Bible Time - Prayer Journal and Prayer BinderFaithful Counseling (sponsor) - Get 10% off your first month Instacart (sponsor) - Free delivery for new customers on first order!Suggestions from AJ:The Difficult Words of JesusGot a question or something on your heart?

Today we are talking about “Sexual Purity.”  Now, this is not going to be a lecture about Honoring God’s Design for Sex Before Marriage. But rather a frank, open discussion of how God can transform lives that are deeply rooted in the pleasures of the world to a state of realizing that sexual purity is beautiful (to the one who treasures God above all.) Guest, Erin Kiu, author, and blogger shares her personal testimony of how God transformed her young adult life from indulging in the party scene to meeting Jesus and fully surrendering her life and lifestyle to Him.Watch the podcast and leave comments here:  Coffee and Bible Time - YouTubeCoffee and Bible Time - Prayer Journal and Prayer BinderFaithful Counseling - Get 10% off your first month (Faithful Counseling is our sponsor)Suggestions from Erin:The CSB Study Bible For WomenBible Gel HighlighterOne Transforming LoveMessengerX(Amazon link sales financially support our Coffee and Bible Time ministry-THANK YOU!)Got a question or something on your heart?

Today we are going to be talking about “Mom Fatigue Syndrome.” It’s real. It’s pervasive. And it creeps into every facet of a mom’s life. MFS is caused by a condition known as learned helplessness-discovered in 1965 by Martin Seligman-which leads to overwhelm, depression, exhaustion, fatigue, anxiety, and feeling like you're stuck in a big, fat Mom Fog. Why do moms experience learned helplessness? Because the mom-brain is different. Researchers have even found physical differences in brain scans of women before and after they had children. But moms continually use methods and techniques that do not work with the way their brains are wired. Instead of blaming the program, moms blame themselves, which perpetuates the cycle of Mom Fatigue Syndrome. They end up with no energy, no joy, and no motivation to make things better. If you are a mom, or you know of a mom who needs help, stay tuned to learn from our guest Hannah Keeley about the Mom Mastery Method which is an 8-step formula proven to help thousands of moms radically transform their lives.Coffee and Bible Time - Prayer Journal and Prayer BinderFaithful Counseling - Get 10% off your first month (Faithful Counseling is our sponsor)Suggestions from Hannah:momfog.combiblegateway.comGot a question or something on your heart?
