The Ten Minute Bible Hour Podcast

Here's that final week of Nehemiah I forgot to post in August

Okay, you all made me feel things yesterday and today with your incredibly gracious reply to my post regarding forgetting to publish the final week of the Nehemiah podcast here on Patreon. Thank yo...

Well, I went and messed up the Patreon charges

I made a mistake in mid-August when I decided to add the week of history-of-what-happened-between-the-testaments to the Nehemiah series. I remembered to record, edit, and publish all of that, but I...

Why is there a Christianity?

Yes, you read that right. It seems like it would be a lot easier historically for there not to be a Christianity, yet there is, and it's huge. Why? How did it catch on? How did it survive early tur...

What are your options when you're in something good, but then...

...it turns controlling and weird?
That might sound like an outlier experience at first, but I bet if you really think about it, that's a situation that happens more often in life than you'd thi...

Special Thank You Video for Patrons and Planning Center Supporters

There's a lot here. Thanks for supporting the Nehemiah series, and thanks for all the encouragement.

Dr. Monson's Persian Era of the Bible Chart

I think this is super-well put-together and should be helpful for visualizing the period in time we've been looking at in Ezra/Nehemiah/Esther.
Giant thanks to Dr. Monson for being willing to sh...

You Win This Round Steve Davis

You were right and I was wrong. I needed five more episodes than promised to round this thing out.

You know me so well.

Here's the remaining Nehemiah schedule:

Themes and big ...

Ten Episodes Left

There's a lot of tension left in these last two weeks. Nehemiah left for a minute and everything fell apart. Now he's going to try one last time to set it up to work for the long haul.

Galat...

The Scouring of Jerusalem

Nehemiah left for a while and then everything turned bad. Now he's back and he's taking matters into his own hands, literally.
Lots of tension this week.

Is the cycle broken, or will it be business as usual?

That's the big remaining question of Nehemiah. Everything since chapter 8 has been great, and there's only one chapter left after this week, so is it okay to be cautiously optimistic that the Old T...

Where has the time gone?

We start the last chapter of the book this week. After that, we've got some interesting aftermathing, and then we're on to season five which is Galatians.
Rad!

The Intro Song From Last Week's Mega Episode

Enjoy

Getting to Yes

This week starts with a moment of appreciation for what happened behind the scenes to get to an agreement on the terms of the renewed covenant in Nehemiah 10. Let us pause and consider what it woul...

Here's That Name Song From the Other Day

Except it's just the music parts with bonus drums, bass and jazz keyboard from Jeff.

This is important.

The Money Part of the Nehemiah Covenant...

....is most of the covenant. There's a lot in here and it takes us to some very interesting places.

ALSO: I met three of you in Connecticut this week and it was great! Thanks for making the ...

Want to Get Ice Cream With Me Tonight?

First, I'm very sorry for the short notice. As you may have heard on the podcast, I'm in Connecticut doing a wedding this week, and I have a bit of extra time tonight before I fly out so I thought ...

The Nehemiah Name Song Episode

If you haven't listened to this one yet, you'll understand when you have.

I'm so, so very sorry.

A Simple Life by Rooktown (the Nehemiah song Jeff made)

I hope you enjoy the song as much as I do, and I would love to hear your thoughts on it. I know the feedback means a ton to Jeff as well; so comments welcome (even if you want to make fun of us a l...

Jeff's Zelda Parody Music

Mary asked for this, so if you like it, you should thank her and Jeff.

This file will improve your ringtone collection

I know every single one of you was hoping Jeff's Ratt parody from yesterday could be on your phone as your featured ringtone.
Well, your dreams have come true.
(Thanks for supporting the podc...

Emerging from the Lost Woods

We spent last week listening to the descendants of Abraham recounting their time in the Lost Woods, but this week we finally are ready to emerge (at least for the moment).
But most of all..........

In Nehemiah 9, the People Admit to the Truth

And it's incredibly powerful; an amazing place to leave off the narrative of the Old Testament.

Nehemiah 9, and then....

....we're quickly on the down hill to the end of this book. Wow! That went fast. Galatians is on deck, but we've still got big payoffs here including the mass-repentance event of Nehemiah 9.

Here this is

It's Tent City Week

Not for you and me, I have work this week. I mean for the ancient Jews in September of 444 BC who rediscover the meaning of the Feast of Booths.

The payoffs are coming in faster and faster a...

What were they actually reading at this big gathering by the Water Gate?

This and other questions abound this week as we continue to look at one of the most influential religious meetings in the history of the planet.

After chapter eight, Nehemiah will fly past u...

TMBH Podcast is on YouTube now!

It's pretty funny looking too, because this new YouTube channel that has all of the entire podcast on it has a grand total of like 30 views. I put all 1400ish episodes on there so that the program ...

Some of you got empty envelopes from me. The link below will fix that.

Whelp, that didn't go well. We had the nicest time as a family packing up all the envelopes and smiling and laughing and spending meaningful time together (and I'm happy for that), but apparently w...

Now We Get to the Main Event

There's a thing that happened on September 27th, 444 BC that changed the world and it happens to be the culminating event of the whole Ezra/Nehemiah story arc.
Here we go!

Jeff made this for you. Use it wisely.

Thanks for supporting this thing.

Enjoy!
