Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder

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.’

In a WORLD of Books, One is Enough. Jn21:25 (s3e77)

We finish the end of the gospels today in John and Luke.  Unfortunately, we didn't exactly start at the beginning.  What kind of a knucklehead doesn't start a multi-episode epic at the beginning?  Ge…

Asking the Wrong Question Jn21:22. (s3e76)

Jesus tells Peter he's going to die in a way that his abilities will be lost, he won't be doing what he wants, he won't be where he wants, and even he won't be wearing what he wants.  Even amidst all…

Glorify as ABILITIES are LOST Jn21:18 (s3e75)

America (and probably the country you might be listening in) is all about 

  • doing  what I want
  • when I want
  • where I want
  • wearing what I want
  • heading in the direction I want

Peter finishes a wonderful "do you…

Love First. Serve Second. Jn21:17 (s3e74)

Peter has betrayed the Lord.  He has repented, but is waiting for restoration.  He's run to Jesus.  He's hurled himself into the sea towards Jesus.  He's ready, and now, after breakfast, he gets his …

Don't Let 153 Fish Go To Waste. Jn20:31(s3e73)

153 Fish gave their lives today so you could understand this revelation.  Let's not let their lives go to waste. 

In the gospel of John he edits the Lords 40+ known miracles to just 8.  This is the la…

I am WITH YOU ALWAYS Mt28:20 (s3e72)

The last sentence of the Gospel of Matthew.  It had better be good. ;-)

Guess what, it is!

Today God asks the IMPOSSIBLE again.  He asks that we be involved in a process that initially connects (belief…

I will NEVER Believe. John21:25 (s3e71)

I will NEVER Believe. John21:25 (s3e71)

We look at a guy who doesn't believe today. Not just neutral unbelief. Active unbelief.  Jesus describes him as DISBELIEVING.

It is Thomas, who when we last heard from him was ready to go to Jerusalem…

A JOB and a BENEFIT PACKAGE Jn 20:22 (s3e70)

After the resurrection all four gospels have a commissioning.  The disciples get a JOB and a BENEFIT PACKAGE to facilitate the successful completion of that job.  The Job is to go and expand the bord…

Nothing So Rare as an OPEN MIND Lk 24:45 (s3e69)

Nothing So Rare as an OPEN MIND Lk 24:45 (s3e69)

Is there anything so rare as an open mind?  I didn't think so. 

Yet, this is the critical business that Jesus is in: to open the crusty minds to His Word and to Himself.  This is the turning a heart o…

Jesus is Touchable(&See,Hear,Taste,Smell) Lk 25:43 (s3e68)

The process of belief is messy.  The Bible is really quite bold in admitting it.  It just reeks of authenticity though.  It is true.  There is a lot of two steps forward, one step backward.

So a knowl…

The HEARTBURN of the VOICE of JESUS. Lk 24:32 (s3-e67)

The long road of the slow-of-heart to Emmaus starts with eyes that were kept from recognizing.  But as the 7 mile walk goes on, they get HEART BURN. That is, the heart burn of the opening of Scriptur…

Jesus LOVES the Old Testament! Lk 24:27 (s3-e66)

Jesus LOVES the Old Testament! Lk 24:27 (s3-e66)

There's an old joke that ends, "If the King James Bible was good enough for Jesus, then it is good enough for me."

On the road to Emmaus, on the road of the SLOW OF HEART, Jesus goes all Old Testament…

SLOW of Heart. Luke 24:25 (S3-E65)

SLOW of Heart. Luke 24:25 (S3-E65)

Jesus calls people of His own company SLOW OF HEART in a long account of the Road to Emmaus.  It is a long story, of a long road, of the Slow of heart.  He also calls them foolish.  I just couldn't g…

Grave Robber at the Tomb. John 20:16 (S3-E63)

Grave Robber at the Tomb. John 20:16 (S3-E63)

There was a GRAVE ROBBER at Jesus' tomb.  Mary of Magdala tries to figure out who it was.  It is a classic case of mis-identity.

She mis-identifies

  • the dead Jesus
  • the buried Jesus
  • the stolen Jesus
  • the los…

When you Meet Jesus, HOLD ON & WORSHIP Mt 28:9 (S3-E61)

Women, not men get the first appearances of Jesus after resurrection.  You just gotta love Jesus' sense of irony in entrusting these females with the greatest news of all time.  Jesus is very pro-wom…

When We Meet Him, There Will be HOLES. Mk16:6 (S3-E60)

When we meet Jesus in heaven, there will be holes in His hands, feet and side.  He took His body with Him.  He got a resurrected body, but it was sort of similar.  Remember, Thomas got to stick his f…
