Summary
In this episode, Benjamin Lee continues the daily Bible reading with Genesis chapter three. The chapter tells the story of Adam and Eve's disobedience and the consequences they face. The serpent tempts Eve to doubt God's commands, leading to their decision to eat the forbidden fruit. As a result, sin enters the world, and Adam and Eve are expelled from the Garden of Eden. Despite their disobedience, God shows love and mercy by providing garments of skin to cover their shame.
Takeaways
- Sin is missing the mark that God has established and is disobedience to His commands.
- The serpent, identified as Satan in Revelation, tempts mankind through the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.
- The consequences of sin include physical and spiritual separation from God.
- The devil promises much but always under delivers, and God's way is always the best way.
- We are responsible for our own decisions and cannot blame others for our choices.
- The Bible does not specify the kind of fruit Adam and Eve ate, reminding us to be careful about assumptions when reading Scripture.
- God's love and mercy are evident even in the midst of sin and disobedience.

You can also find his book called "The Burning of America" on Amazon. https://a.co/d/0yoXN0Q Below is a description of it.
This fictional account exposes the dark underbelly of the custody industry in American villages. Children are treated like footballs and are simply kicked from place to place, parental rights are routinely violated, often with one parent who is considered no more than a paycheck, and the custody enterprise of judges, lawyers, and counselors profit from the displacement and misery of children. The novel punches hard in the gut and does not let up until the untimely and tragic climax. Paul Theus is a respectable middle-class professor until his peaceful world is shattered as we find out from the first line: "No parent prepares for a child to be taken." Beware of strangers and watch out for the big bad wolf kids are told but what if a family unit is smoldered from within by a mother? Paul found the note that his wife was leaving for awhile tucked in a book about the Jon Bonet Ramsey child murder. The Bohemian mother Anne Theus inflames the threat posed by the idea that it takes the village court to raise a child. Do the courts really act in the best interest of the children? Parents plan for their children's home, school, clothes, food, and happiness but once the Theus' five-year daughter is kidnapped we are barraged by conflict for over three years until the terminal end. Is the terminal ending tragic or the only possible resolution to the conflict? You decide.

I had a great conversation with Coach Lee Forrester. You will be inspired listening to Lee and her journey to health. Something that really stood out to me was her excitement about life and getting better. In this conversation, we discuss:
- Lee's challenges growing up being overweight.
- The power of our thoughts and why they are so important.
- Why it's never too late to get started with exercise.
- Aging doesn't have to be awful.
As a child Lee felt invisible and insignificant and found being overweight an additional struggle. Self image issues stemming from childhood can hold a person from personal and work life success.
Now that Lee has found healthier ways to eat well and be well, she now uses that experience to guide others who also battle with unwanted weight particularly women in their 40's and 50's to a place where they feel in charge and in control of their bodies while gaining confidence so they can show up fully in life and professionally while getting into their best health ever.
Lee is best known for her common sense holistic approach to good food, and health while finding a way to move (exercise if you will)so that you can have the confidence you crave. Take it from Lee, who knows that if the chubby girl who hated PE and came almost last in any track event can support you on your feel amazing path to health and fitness

In this episode, we journey through the Bible as we learn about the goodness of God.
The best place to begin as we think about God being good is in Genesis 1:1. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
During this lesson we consider...

- How Genesis 1:1 destroys certain false doctrines.
- How everything God made was good.
- The fact that God is good and what that means.
- How God is the standard for what is good and not good.

You might be wondering how the CIA and the Bible are connected!
Be prepared to go a journey. I was recently in Richmond Virginia preaching at the Courthouse Church of Christ. I had the opportunity to visit Washington D.C. with my friend Nathan Morrison. Nathan preaches at the Courthouse Church of Christ and is also one of the elders.
He shared with me the story of Hushai the Archite in the Old Testament. The CIA has known for a long time about Hushai and how he helped King David defeat Absalom. The CIA describes Hushai as the first Influence Agent. The CIA declassified how they broke down the story of Hushai and used it to train their agents to be influence agents. Find out the significance of all of this in this episode.
You can find where Nathan preaches in the link below and also the declassified PDF document the CIA released as well!

How were men and women in the first century Converted to Christ?
The book of Acts in the Bible gives us plenty of examples of what Conversion to Christ looks like.

There's a lot for us to learn how one is converted to Christ and what happens after their conversion.
Get your Bible ready and let's study together from the book of Acts.

Life moves very fast. How we live matters.
We are reminded in the Bible that we have one life to live.
How has 2023 been going for you? We are at the end of the first quarter.
This is always a great time to reevaluate the direction we're headed.
In this sermon, I consider what Jesus has to say about how we should live our lives. I also discuss false doctrines we need to be aware, fantasy, and fiction that can get in the way of this one life to live.

Our study today takes us to Luke 14. Jesus says a lot about discipleship in this chapter.
Sacrifice is required when it comes to being a Christian.
Many times we can start strong, but fail to finish what we have begun. Jesus tells us why this happens and what we can do to avoid it.
This was originally preached at the beginning of 2022. I was convicted listening to myself. The year is almost over, but there is still time to finish what we began to build.

Whenever we read from the Holy Scriptures, we should be seeking to learn something about God!
It was Pharaoh in Exodus 5:2 who asked the question "Who is the LORD that I should obey His voice to let Israel go?" A lot of people ask, "Who is the LORD?" The Psalms help us to see who God is. In this Podcast Episode, we go through Psalm 95-Psalm 97. We will read each of these Psalms and then ask, "What can we learn about God?" Then we will see how we should respond to Him.

In Matthew 25:34-40 it says,
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
You Did It Me.
In this sermon, I discuss how this statement should change our thinking when it comes to sin, suffering, work, and our worship.

One of the worst things to do with our time is to Worry. Jesus says that it is a wast of time, Matthew 6:27. Yet many people including Christians struggle with worry. In this sermon, I discuss:
- What's the distinction between worry and concern?
- How to stop worrying about the past.
- How to stop worrying today.
- How to stop worrying about the future.
Everything that is share is from God's Word!
P.S. I read the book "How to stop worrying and start living" by Dale Carnegie. This is where I got the title. It's a great book. You should buy it. I was happy to see that he references the scriptures quite a bit. The word of God always has the answers that we need.

I love books. I recently picked up a book someone had gifted me. It’s called “Success is Simple” by D. Paul Reilly. It’s a book from the 1970’s. It’s a quick read.

How we handle them will help determine how successful we may be. In this episode, I share how to handle problems according to the author.

In this episode, I share something I learned during a lunch I had with a physician. As we think about moving Beyond the Scale, it's important to have the proper mindset. Part of this mindset is viewing Exercise the proper way! Exercise is a blessing. There are numerous health benefits. As I get older, I believe we should view Exercise like taking a daily pill. It's something we need in some shape or form everyday. Yet, sadly it's a medicine that many don't want to take! What about you? Let's keep moving Beyond the Scale and enjoy a daily dose of exercise.

People study the algorithm's, they will tailor their posts, what they say, how they say what they say, for the purpose of pleasing the powerful Algorithms. But what if we had that same kind of mindset toward God? "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth!" God Almighty is the one we should fear and submit to. He is the one we should follow and seek to be pleasing too! In this episode, we will consider some passages from the Bible to help us as we navigate through this social media world!

Everyone wants their dream career! Is it possible to really find your dream job or career? Some say "Yes" and some say "No!" How does one go about identifying work that will be suitable for them? How can one put themselves in the best possible position to excel in a particular career? In this episode, I share with you a test I took earlier in the year that was really eye-opening for me. It solidified some things for me about what I'm currently doing. It's a great tool high school graduates and others should utilize when considering job opportunities. What I discuss is the Johnson O Connor Foundation Aptitude Test. You can check them out at https://www.jocrf.org/about. I discuss what this test is.

There are numerous books, Podcasts, and You Tube Videos that discuss the Art of saying "No." Many of the suggestions and tips are really good! But, how often do we take these tips to say "No" to ourselves? While we can say "No" to other people and their plans, what about saying "No" to ourselves when we are tempted to deviate from our goals, personal commitments, et.? In this episode, I discuss the importance of saying "No" to ourselves and how to do it. There are 3 questions I share that you can use to help you to do this and to see why you say "Yes" when you should be saying, "No!"

During a coaching session, I shared with a client of mine that he didn't need to hit a home run! That resonated with him in the moment. It opened his eyes to see that hitting a single, double, or triple (figuratively speaking) in his business would be just as effective. In life, we often want the big splash! The big hit. The huge amount of weight loss. In this episode I discuss:
How other opportunities are just as valuable as a big hit. Why we feel like we have to hit a home run. Appreciating what is right in front of us.

What a great example when it comes to our lives. What are we cooking? The choice is ours. I either heard this example or read about it in a book.

Wherever you may find yourself in life, it will be important to keep moving forward. That's easier said than done, right? In Jeremiah chapter 29, the Israelites found themselves in captivity. As exiles in a foreign land, they would have to make a choice. Do nothing or keep moving forward. Give up on God or trust in Him. It feels like we're in a foreign land with what's happening in 2020. Maybe you have lost your job. Maybe you've lost some of your possessions. Maybe you have lost a whole lot more. As hard as it is, we must keep moving forward. Our trust must be in God as we navigate these difficult days.

Welcome to my new podcast. This Podcast is all about:
Spiritual Growth
Physical Growth
Personal Development
I started this Podcast out of fear. I bought a microphone and didn't do anything with it for a year. Have you ever done something like that? Fear was holding me back. But once I got started, it's been an amazing journey.

Please enjoy, rate, review, and subscribe.
