Brennan Loveless and Tom Pounder are hosting a brand new podcast coming out in September 2023 that New Lifers will want to hear.

Everyone has a story. Everyone probably has a LOT of stories they could share. What we uncover in The Third Chair is about how individuals have come to know Jesus. What was their life like before? How did they come to know Jesus and what is He doing in their life today? Each episode features a different person being interviewed about their faith story and what walking with Christ looks like for them today. Whether you're exploring Christianity or already a Christian, you'll be encouraged in these stories of faith.

As a point of reference, he is using "30 Days to Understanding the Bible" by Max Anderson. The first key to understanding the Bible is to understand the structure of the Bible. That is what Preston shares with us today.

Psalm 1 speaks of two paths of life. The first path is the wicked way. On that one, a person always looks for satisfaction but never feels fulfilled. The obsessive thought is, "If I just had....I would be better." In contrast, the path of the righteous is like a tree planted by the Living Water which is forever joyful. John 4:13-14 continues the metaphor. The unfulfilled woman is at a well and meets her Living Water who is Jesus Christ. He tells her to drink it and will never thirst again.

To remain nourished, Psalm 1 reminds us to meditate on God's Word. Read it every day and let God's word grow us like the the tree getting live water.

And, how we should have a sense of urgency NOT to be aggressive in we share, but to listen to God's leading as you share.

Some people run because they like to run. It's a great form of exercising. While running equipment has changed over the years, the clothing runners wear has not changed. They wear the least amount to limit resistance. This applies to our lives as we may need to simplify our life by eliminating time on our phone and other distractions.

Another way to look at running is in Hebrews 12:1. It says, "Since we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses let us run the race with endurance." God empathizes with our pain and rejection so we can run the race marked out for us; the set path. We need to finish what was clearly prepared for us whether marriage, raising children, or a specific life issue. As we simplify it helps us focus on what is really important, serving Christ Jesus, God, family, and friends.

God will encourage you and put people in your life to encourage you, as well.

As a follow up from his Easter message, Brett reads from John 20:1-3, 9-10. We can't live without loving relationships, purpose or hope. The power of the resurrection is that we have real hope. Some of that hope comes from changed lives. If you look at the first disciples and Paul, their lives were dramatically changed because of Christ and the resurrection. Our hope is a reasonable hope. Continue to ask questions and do the research on Jesus and the resurrection.

In the same way, we need to not be afraid to approach Jesus. No matter what has happened in your past, humbly approach Jesus. He loves you and cares for you. Do not fear, simply believe in Him.

What do you look for in a friend? Some of the characteristics of Jesus are forgiveness, gentleness, loyalty, and truthfulness. He is the true friend. More of His qualities are seen in Matthew 14:28-31 when Peter walked on the water to Jesus. Also, in John 15:12, Jesus commanded us to love each other like He did. He laid down His life for us. He has called us friends. He loves us no matter what we do. We can trust Jesus as our "Ride or Die" friend and we can find friends that demonstrate the same characteristics as Jesus did.

Through the course of the exchange the disciple asked why they couldn’t do what Jesus had done, and Jesus responded that some things are only possible through prayer and fasting.

In Ephesians 6 (NLT) we are told to put on the armor of God. Specifically, verse 15 says to put on the shoes of peace that comes from the good news. We will be fully prepared when we have the gospel of peace. The good news is that Jesus died to take away all of our sins. Our punishment is taken away. When we are hurt by others we can forgive them because Jesus took ALL sin. We remind ourselves of that good news and share with others which is energizing.

When writing his letters throughout the New Testament, Paul always identifies himself as an Apostle, called by God. This is found throughout the New Testament with James, Peter and Jude, as well. Everything they write about from there on out is based upon their identity of Christ.

You can build your identity around any number of things today. But, there is real power in a God given identity. Take Jesus, for instance. All throughout the New Testament we find that Jesus is the bread of life, the light of the world, the good shepherd, the gate for the sheep, the resurrection and the life, the way, the truth and the life, and the true vine.

Who are you? What is your identity? Take time to pray, read the Bible and discover your identity in Christ today. You ARE a child of God. You ARE forgiven. Let God give you your identity and let that guide you.

Some people put in large sums of money. Jesus pointed out the poor widow who put in only two copper coins. He noticed that she put God first even though she did not have much. She loved God and truly gave the most.

A generous attitude and simply thinking of others brings more JOY. God blesses us and others over and above. Spend time over the next few days in prayer, asking God to bring to mind who you can bless.

In Luke 13:1-5 Jesus was asked a series of questions. He didn't get into a theological discussion. Rather, he teaches us about repentance. The lesson we get from Old Testament punishment or current suffering is not why is God so unfair. It is about what it mean for you to repent. Jesus is a holy judge and while we all deserve death for our actions, He gives us mercy and grace. The challenge for us is what does it look like for us to repent and bear fruit today.

What comes to mind when you think about loving others the way Christ calls us to? When you think about this do you think about caring for the less fortunate and lonely? Matthew 5:14-16 calls us to be a light to all people. That includes ministering and loving the poor, homeless and most in need. This is what Jesus did and what He encourages us to do as well.

People have different attitudes before they go to the Dentist. One is to prepare a whole lot ahead and clean one's teeth thoroughly. The second attitude is, "I pay the dentist to clean my teeth, so he can do it." Is that how we view our relationship with God? Do we need to get ourselves right first or allow God to cleanse us? We need Him. As we worship we allow Him to do the righteous work in us.

Today, Sean shares from Ezekiel 36:25-27 and Titus 3:3-6. All God to cleanse you and give you a new heart and new spirit because loves you and is merciful.

It can be easy to simply tolerate sin and look the other way. However, sin tolerated becomes sin embraced and sin approved. But, when you confront the person, confront with clarity.

What are you looking forward to? We must have hope in life and we have that because the Bible promises us heaven. A better future can get us through hard times.

God is so loving and gracious. What can I celebrate now? What am I excited about? What are the little things can I appreciate today?

Does God choose sides? If I pray about it, will He cause my favorite football team to win? In Joshua 5:13-15 as the Israelites prepare to fight their enemies to take over their new land, Joshua is surprised by a man who appears in front of him. Joshua asked whose side he was on. "Neither", said the man, "I'm a commander of the Lord." He then gives them an unconventional strategy to follow in order to be successful.

Sometimes God may have us do the unexpected. It may not make sense but when we encounter those times, we need to ask how do I need to follow him? Maybe we need to sacrifice something. Or maybe there is someone to talk to about my faith. Or something else entirely. We need to be asking, am I on the Lord's side? And how do I need to follow Him today?

Whether we want to know who built Stonehenge or why God created mosquitoes, we are curious. "Why, why, why?" we ask. Perhaps we may wonder why God let an awful thing happen to us or a loved one. It IS safe and good to ask God questions.

The apostles asked in Acts 1:4-7 if that was the very time Christ Jesus would restore the Kingdom to Israel. He replied that it was not for them to know the times or dates but wait. Like children they needed to be patient and humble. Jesus encouraged then and now to ask a lot of questions. Search Him as the Living Word the Bible for answers.

Joseph had a hard life. In Genesis 37-44 we see that he was sold into slavery when his was young because he was his father's favorite. Then, he was sent to prison because he wouldn't sleep with Potiphar's wife. However, after many years and through God's work, he was able to become the Second in charge of all of Egypt. It made no sense, but God was up to something. Joseph had faith and trusted God. He great perspective on what God was doing in his life.

Today, Brett walks us through the life of Joseph in Genesis that culminates in Genesis 45. He shares about how God not only worked in Joseph's life but he is working in our life as well.

Did you ever work so hard and then have nothing to show for it? In John 21 Peter and the apostles fished all night but did not catch any fish. In the morning, Jesus showed up and told them to let down their nets on the right side of the boat. When they obeyed Jesus they pulled in a miraculous catch of fish.

In the same way we can be so busy chasing more money, success, degrees, the best house or vacation and, ultimately, have nothing to show for it. Instead, we should ask how to follow Jesus. In His plans are abundance.

Is it really worth it to follow Jesus? Does sin and evil really win in the end? As Brett looks at Revelation 20:10-15 and 21:1-3, we see that sin always leads to death. That is why, no matter how bleak it looks, we need to continue to be faithful and seek first the kingdom of God. It will be worth it on the day of Judgement. God is still sovereign and in control. God will have his victory. Remain faithful to God.

When we read the book of Revelation we need to look at who it is written to first. It was for John who was receiving the Revelation. It is meant to be an uncovering or revealing of Jesus. When we read the book through todays lens of what has already happened, or current events, we can miss the anticipation the book has to it. We can rest assured that there will be suffering, and Jesus will come again.

What happens if Christmas is difficult? When we read the Christmas story in Luke 2, we see a couple that has travelled far, found a town so full of people there was no space for them, and delivered their first born. The message of the angels and the adoration of the shepherds brought joy to the moment. Beauty can come out of difficult situations. As we learn about the background the Christmas carol I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day, we can be encouraged.

"Don’t you yourselves know that you are God’s temple and that the Spirit of God lives in you?" - I Corinthians 3:16

When we think of a temple, we think of a hoy place, a place set apart. Often a temple is treated better than a regular building. How does your perspective of your body change when you read that it is the temple of God?

"I proclaimed a fast by the Ahava River, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask him for a safe journey for us, our dependents, and all our possessions. I did this because I was ashamed to ask the king for infantry and cavalry to protect us from enemies during the journey, since we had told him, “The hand of our God is gracious to all who seek him, but his fierce anger is against all who abandon him.” So we fasted and pleaded with our God about this, and he was receptive to our prayer." -- Ezra 8:21-23

“Restore to me the joy of your salvation Sustain me with a willing spirit." Psalm 51:12

When you have good news, you want to share it with everyone around you. It doesn’t even have to be someone you know, that joy just bubbles up and out to everyone around us.

Our salvation should be like that as well. Are you excited about the gift that God gave you through Jesus? Who are you telling about this precious gift you have received?

Often we work for a goal – to be able to afford the things/activities we want to do. We place our trust on what we can see in our accounts and more. But when we are living the calling that God has given us, we must learn to trust in Him to provide and not only in what we can see.

Have you noticed how many times our spiritual walk is tied to gardening or farming? If you have ever planting a garden or even flowers in or around your home, you know that gardening takes patience. The seeds get planted, but they have to grow to produce fruit. In our spiritual lives it is the same way. We have to continually tend to the spiritual disciplines in order to grow, to produce fruit.

We are going to make mistakes. They might not be huge, life altering mistakes, but we will fail from time to time. That doesn’t mean that we should give up. Instead, we need to confess that we have made a mistake and keep pursuing God. 1 John 1:9 states “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Have you ever had an awkward conversation? Sometimes those come out of an equally awkward situation, but sometimes the conversation feels awkward because it is unfamiliar. When it comes to sharing our faith and making disciples, those can be awkward conversations, but as we follow God’s leading, and we will find those conversations becoming natural and second nature.

Forgiving someone is difficult. That’s why Peter thought he was being generous by offering to forgive seven times. Jesus taught him (and us) through the parable of the unforgiving servant that God’s forgiveness takes on way more than seven times. As followers of Christ, we can forgive others because of the great debt that we have been forgiven.

Who do you need to forgive?

When we lose sight of the big picture, it is easy to get disillusioned. We think that our hero can save day, but something happens, and they can’t. The disciples experienced this first hand. They lost sight of what Jesus had told them about who He was and why He was here. They wanted a hero, someone to save the day. He came as a Savior who had to die and be raised again.
