The Ten Minute Bible Hour Podcast

What Would You Add to the Fruit of the Spirit List?

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it. I'm just asking.

Also, thanks for supporting this podcast. Seriously.

Also, alsoer, I got my stickers in and they're going out soon. 2025-08-05 07:19:16 +0000 UTC View Post

Here we are, friends, just leaning against the Bellagio fountain railing...

....with everything in front of us because life in Christ and life by the Spirit come with a whole lot of open-ended opportunities for beautiful and awesome things that you just aren't an option wh...

Only doing four episodes on self-control...

... demonstrates a lot of restraint, I think.

A song about goodness....sort of.

A song about kindness

A song about patience

Great is Thy Fai....Roseanna? Wait, what?

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for supporting TMBH and making it happen. To say I'm grateful is insufficient.
HOWEVER - the four attached files scream my gratitude loud and clear, because these ...

Here's the truth....

.... I'm really having fun with this Fruit of the Spirit section. This is such a different exercise from so much of what we do around here. Thanks for lingering here with me so patiently.

It's not lost on me that a podcast featuring ....

a lightning bolt for its logo also got mostly shut down this week because it got struck by lightning.
Also, pretty much everything is fixed now. What a week....

So Much Love

Yep, we're still working on literally the first word on the list of the fruit of the spirit, and I have no regrets.

We're still on love...

...and I don't think it's just to even out everything from the other list. Maybe a little? Mostly I think love is an ultra-top-tier important Bible concept and it's worth looking around the New Tes...

Heads up - New Thing is Out

The new video on Leviticus just came out over on the YouTube channel. It's all new, made from scratch and has live video since I got a lot of feedback saying everyone preferred that.
More Galati...

What's with the Snowbabies?

My life has taken a turn for the worse since I made the mistake of talking about Snowbabies on this podcast. I regret my decisions on this point. But what I don't regret..........

IS A WHOLE ...

Cool Bible discovery for me in Ireland....

....and the rest of the bad stuff list.
More on this in episode 207.

The bad stuff list

This section about the stuff that comes from the flesh/sinful nature is intense. This section will get into our business. It's going to touch some painful nerves and resurface some difficult memori...

Walking by the Spirit in the Middle of Lasers and Space Bombs

That title will make more sense on Wednesday, but in the mean time we're digging deeper into Paul's point about life by the Spirit. All this stuff Paul's saying is counterintuitive because we're us...

Jeff has thoughts

This week is going to be a little bit different as Jeff and I work through a challenging passage together.

Should I Send You All Philemon Notebooks?

Philemon is the next book up and in the past we've always sent everyone who supports a little blank notebook that says the name of the new series on it. However, these have become quite a bit more ...

Romans Detour Ahead

Romans has a lot of the same stuff as Galatians, but Paul says it slower and with less urgency to try to stop the circumcision line. Why is that? How do these two letters relate? We'll cover that, ...

Whoever said I wouldn't get to the line last week...

...was factually true but emotionally wrong. I don't even know what that means :)
Okay, you got me. We didn't get to 5:12 until this week, but now that we're here.........BOY HOWDY are we gonna ...

This Song is Scandalous

Seems appropriate given what we're dealing with in Galatians 5:11. For some reason this makes me think of Charles Barkley....weird.
Anyways, enjoy this as a ringtone or however you want! Thanks...

SAY THE LINE!!!!

This week, Paul says the line. You know the one.

I'm not sure what to make of Jeff cutting it up with this circumcision stuff.

I mean it would be one thing if the Apostle Paul were cracking circumcision jokes in the middle of the text.... wait.....

Did I get the martial arts stuff right?

Did Paul go and grab the stuff about Sarai and Hagar because he felt like it, or did he bring it up because the agitators had already pointed to that story? I still don't know, but I think we can g...

So personal.

This emotional interlude is such a change of pace and so interesting. We'll take a couple more days on that, and then on Thursday and Friday, we're going to get into one of the most difficult passa...

It's Been a Minute

Well, not for you. It's like Interstellar, where your time and my time pass at different rates. I've been shut off from the world and feverishly working on a book manuscript for weeks, but this wee...

Wow! So very little consensus!

I LOVED reading all your ideas and suggestions for where to go with the next season, but also no clear and obvious pattern emerged. We'll keep that conversation going over the next few weeks. I hav...

We're going to be done with Galatians sooner than you'd figure...

... any thoughts on what book should be next?
Also, let's discuss this week's Galatians stuff here.

This week we're into the good stuff at the end of Galatians three...

...and even more bonus good stuff in Romans. Great discussion last week on the mediator stuff by the way. I still havent' decided if I'm going to go back to that with an episode or not, but you all...

Discussion for this week on Gal 3

Galatians three is really coming into focus right now, and Romans is about to arrive like the Winged Hussars lifting the siege at Vienna to bring even more clarity to what's been a challenging but ...
