From Duck Herding to Bible Reading

Ever tried herding ducks into their coop after dark? It's a chaotic experience that never fails to bring a smile, and it's just one of the amusing moments from life on the homestead that I, Jesse Cope, share in this episode of the American Soul Podcast. Amidst the laughter and gratitude for each new day, we explore the profound importance of making time for God in our busy lives. A few precious minutes of prayer and Bible reading can transform our daily routine, offering us guidance, protection, and forgiveness. I also touch on the necessity of prioritizing your spouse, ensuring they know they hold a special place above all other commitments. Whether you're married or seeking a partner, finding someone who respects and follows God's commands is paramount.

We then journey into the realm of education, drawing inspiration from Benjamin Rush's compelling essay, "A Defense of the Use of the Bible as a School Book." Starting biblical education early can create a strong, lasting attachment to its teachings, much like muscle memory. Unfortunately, the art of memorization is fading from modern education, and it's time to restore it with the wisdom of biblical principles. We'll discuss how engaging Bible stories can captivate young minds, shaping their worldviews and counteracting historical efforts to sever the ties between family, church, and God. Join me as we bless families, marriages, and our nation, and look forward to enriching future discussions.
