Ready for a bonus episode? Me too!

I just couldn't leave you hanging in our series, Gets My Goat: How to Actually Read the Word. Yesterday, we talked about exegesis. That's E-X-E-G-E-S-I-S! (Jon said I should've spelled it, and he was right! Boy, did I get the questions. "Stace, what word are you saying?" I hear ya!)

So, let's get after it and start with some sound exegesis on a fan-favorite verse of so many. Come exegete Jeremiah 29:11 with me.

Ever hear something and think, “There’s gotta be more to that story?” Yep, gather round, Friend.

We’ll keep rolling with our series, Gets My Goat: How to Actually Read the Word. So, grab that hot cocoa and hunker down for TWO episodes this week. We’ve got a lot to talk about today, starting with some good ol' exegesis. www.glordinary.com Here’s a small excerpt: "So, how do you read the Word? No, I’m asking. How do you actually read the Word? How do I? Because many, if not most, let’s just safely assume basically all of us read Scripture one way. Hermeneutically. What does it mean to me today, right now, on a Wednesday? We read a verse, maybe a chapter, and see what sticks. All the other parts? Meh, they just kinda fall by the wayside that day. Tell me I’m wrong. I’m not wrong on this one."

You can now find Glordinary, Inc. as a charity on Venmo or PayPal, or find me on our website: www.glordinary.com for any other method of giving. The website can also direct you to our PO Box just in case you ever want to send me a note, snail-mail style. Thank you so much!

It's -6 degrees today! Warm up with a replay episode and cup of Joe.

We don’t do small very well. Small tends to mean insignificant or “less than.” And bigger is better, right? Maybe. Or maybe God’s perspective is a little bit different than ours. Maybe God cherishes the small. Dare I say, prefers the small. Sure, God’s “big enough,” but is He “small enough” too? Is it okay to say that? Yes, yes it is. So, let’s chat about when God’s perspective differs from ours, and why that’s a very good thing! We’ll take a big look into 2 Samuel 22:36.

Here’s a small excerpt: “Like an attentive parent, He stoops down to hear your stories, your heartaches, kiss your boo-boos and scoop you up. Because only a big God could choose to be small enough to stoop down to make you great, to make me great.”
