A podcast designed to help you engage with the Bible daily! Each day, we begin with a reading assignment, designed to take no longer than a few minutes. Then a few minutes of thoughts, comments and questions follow, to help you more fully engage with the text, and to consider throughout the day or to help you begin journaling. It's not the intent to be exhaustive in covering everything, or even to tell you what you should think about a given text. The main idea is to give you a starting point to begin thinking through and engaging with the text yourself, whether you a seasoned Bible student, or this is your first time reading the Bible. The reading selections are kept purposefully small, to make it as easy as possible to develop the discipline of regular Bible reading, and more importantly Bible engaging! It also helps make it possible to catch up if you fall behind a few days. March 11, 2017: Genesis 38 Judah has a widowed daughter-in-law, Tamar, who he has promised to give his son to as a husband, when he comes of age. Judah does not keep this promise to Tamar, and leaves her at her father's house. Tamar goes out dressed as a prostitute, and becomes preganant by Judah. She keeps personal emblems of his as a pledge of payment, and returns to her father's house. When it is evident that she is pregnant, Judah is prepared to execute her, until she produces his personal effects, proving that he is the father.
