In the battle of Jericho, found in the book of Joshua and in May’s TITW devotional study, we get a glimpse of how a particular day can be the most jubilant day of the week, filled with music, trumpets, shouts, and victory. But before that joyous moment, when the walls came down, we observe that the people of God obeyed each of His commands for six full days. Tuesday on Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Dr. Brian Lee, TITW’s devotional author and Professor of Music at MBI tells us that they were not to say a word until they were told which day to shout (Josh 6:10). God’s people trusted in God’s Word before the outcome knowing the Lord had something greater in store.

People sometimes wish that God would say something to them. They have a question to ask or perhaps even a complaint to air. But if the Old Testament teaches us anything, it indicates that God has already spoken to us.

How many of us strive to be close to God no matter where we are, including at work? If our prayer life is strong, we can speak to God every time we need to ask for help, to know his will in moments of uncertainty, and to do whatever he wants us to do in a way that pleases him. On Tuesday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Russ Gehrlein studied the spiritual leadership of Nehemiah, finding that this man of God remained close to God in prayer and was able to sense when God was leading him, whether it was something great or small. Nehemiah sought the Lord daily, and He acted on God’s promises to lead him (Ps. 32:8).

At times, life feels hard, chaotic, or just mind-numbingly ordinary. But what if we could exchange that heavy dread and disquiet for a peace that passes understanding? On Monday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, writer and speaker, Sarah J. Hauser believes that while our outward lives are falling apart, our inner lives can grow stronger. Her new book, All Who are Weary was born out of Sarah’s own story—her depression, grief, and tears.

Tears are a gift. Though we long for the constant sunshine of happiness and the comfort of a stress-free life, we need the nourishing, refreshing teardrops of life lessons. Without tears, the garden of our heart becomes parched and barren. Thus, God offers us the gift of tears, and invites us to experience His peace and presence in deeper ways. On Thursday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, writer and author, Annette Ford encourages us to experience tears as a blessing, not a burden, as we journey through her ten-week devotional, and even in life's storms, to thank God for the tears.

In the past decade, our fundamental conception of the nature of reality itself--and who we are as human beings-- has completely changed. We once believed we were created male and female in the image of God as Scripture clearly states in Genesis 1. However, now our culture is in the throes of a delusion that says that biology has nothing to do with male and female, and that anyone can be whatever gender they want. On Tuesday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Dr. Rob Pacienza, DJKM President and CEO discusses a new documentary released this month that takes a hard look at America's "transgender" craze, its real-world fallout, and the power of Jesus Christ to rescue and transform people caught up in it.

I heard you on the radio talking about this. What do you suggest we do to change our habits? In summary, Chuck tells us that the key to financial margin is to live beneath your means. Learn to be content by giving thanks for all you have. Rather than seeking more, see what you can live without. Challenge yourself to make some sacrifices.

Why is there so much suffering in the world today? For the Christian, this can be a terrible dilemma: how can we understand death and suffering when the Bible teaches that our Creator God is a loving God? For the secularist, it’s a reason to reject God and mock Christians for their belief in a loving God. On Thursday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, author Ken Ham identifies with suffering and knows that, as Christians, we do struggle and grieve in this world, and that is understandable. But, yes, there are answers from God’s Word. And, no … death is not the end.

On Tuesday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Dr. Keith Campbell from Wycliffe USA Global Health Services joins us to talk about “aches & pains” or what we call musculoskeletal pain. Most musculoskeletal pain is self limited and will resolve with some self care, but it is important to recognize when you need to seek care from a doctor. Most importantly, it is important to keep you body conditioned with regular activity and recognize when there is something more than just an “ache or pain”. And patience! Some times even a minor musculoskeletal injury or flare can take a seemingly long time to recover from!

Do you feel comfortable praying to God? Do you think he hears you? What kind of relationship do we have as a believer with our God who hears our prayers? For Christians, one of our earliest lessons―and greatest gifts―is learning how to pray. And yet many of us believe our prayer lives fall short. On Monday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Dr. John Koessler tells us that even though God may appear silent, it does not mean he is unresponsive. We always have His attention. This book will invite us to gain a sense of God, of his goodness, and the rich welcome that is waiting for us every time we approach him in the name of Jesus Christ.

Where is God when you need Him most? He is closer than you can imagine, and His presence changes everything.

On Tuesday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, author Russ Gehrlein talks about a developmental need and a theological need for high school graduates to move out on their own and begin adulting. One of a parent's hardest jobs is to prepare to let go of their child, knowing they are God's children, not just theirs. When the son or daughter is out of high school and able to go to college or work, it allows them to depend on the Lord to guide them and provide for them. Russ says, "God givesus our children, but a mere 18 years later, he takes them away so they can go out and do bigger and better things for his Kingdom."

Difficult people can be anywhere: at home, school, work, and play—and sometimes, even in the mirror! A difficult person often tries to dominate or control others, with actions and attitudes ranging from aggression to manipulation to passivity or passive-aggression.

We can’t stop people from being “difficult,” but we can make wise, godly choices to reduce the suffering their behaviors generate in us. On Tuesday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, licensed professional counselor Marti Wibbels shares with us specific action steps that can help us wisely face these challenges.

Can hardship be a blessing? When Martin Luther King Jr. penned his Letter From a Birmingham City Jail in April 1963, he joined a long tradition of Christians who wrote letters and books while in jail, including John Bunyan, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and most notably, the apostle Paul. Paul spoke of the unexpected gifts God gave him as a prisoner, and his letters, surprisingly, were written in a spirit of joy and hope. On Tuesday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, MBI faculty emeritus, Dr. John Koessler tells us that although the apostle Paul was under house arrest in Rome, instead of curtailing his ministry, this imprisonment allowed Paul to articulate some of the deepest theology in the New Testament.

On Thursday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Pastor Danny Slavich of Cross United Church South Florida wants to set the tone for this summer with one of his favorite verses in the Bible: "Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins." We are called to love God, but love is defined not first of all by our love for God. Love starts with God because God is love; he sets his own internal and eternal love on us. Love starts not with our love for God, but God's love for us. Pastor Danny encourages us to think about 1 John 4:10 and have a summer of God's biblically defined love!

After decades of Christian leadership and service, God changed his life.

In a recent Pew Research Center report, two-thirds of American responding claimed that "it's not necessary to believe in God to be moral." They claim this because our secularized culture has convinced them that morality is personal and subjective.

On Tuesday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Dr. Mark Turman from The Denison Forum asks, "And what do we do when your definition of morality and mine directly contradict each other?" This debate is not only foundational to the future of our democracy--it is expecially urgent for the souls of evangelicals.

It is individual life-to-life, active connection with other men who are older and wiser.

When we are looking for contentment in imperfect things, we are never content. We are only content in Jesus--when our foundation is in Him, and Him alone.

You will evaluate everything, all the time, because you want “everything” to become your preference. A content soul in Jesus is not searching because it has already found Him.

On Monday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Rob West from MoneyWise shares some wisdom on how we can approach 2023 in planning our financial future. How are we going to use our time in the New Year? Most people understand that time has value. Maybe that’s why we often use the expression, 'spending time.' When we understand the value of our time, we tend to change the way we spend money. God values our time." Psalm 90:12 reads, “Teach us to number our days …that we may get a heart of wisdom.”And James 4:14 admonishes us to make the best use of our time today.

When we feel most vulnerable and at the end of ourselves, those are times when we try to take control and fix the situations in our lives ourselves. That's not always a good thing. Friday on Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, author Lisa Boucher encourages us to stay in the saddle and ride through life with a looser rein. In the Scriptures, King Jehoshaphat understood that when he was boxed in by his enemy--at his most vulnerable moment, he leaned on God and let go of the outcome. Letting go allows us to accept that we can’t solve all our problems; we can’t save others from themselves; we can’t stop the inevitable from happening. What we can do is let go and trust that God has the answer.

He is always working "behind the scenes" to bring us into our future glory. This life is only temporary. Another time is coming.

Before Jesus left this earth, He gave His followers a new commandment: "Love one another" (John 13:34). What does that mean? And who did Jesus mean by "one another"? We don't have to search far and wide to find disunity and division in our world today. News shows and social media platforms can be a hornet's nest of hostility and hate. Sometimes, sadly, even those of us in the church adopt this attitude. On Monday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, devotional author, Chris Rappazini hopes that as we study November's Today in the Word we'll learn how we can imitate Christ's love as we interact with others and cultivate an attitude of humility as we seek to understand others.

On Wednesday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, MBI Bible Professor, Dr. James Coakley joins us to talk about Word Play as another way of "Freshening Up Our Bible Study". A good wordplay catches the eye and often communicates an effective message with wit and humor. Puns are also favorite devices for communicating ideas with wit and humor. Remember: “You can tune a guitar, but you can’t tuna fish. Unless you play bass.” The challenge is that biblical authors incorporate word play in Hebrew or Greek and it is not always easy to detect in our Bibles.

In recent decades, neuroscience has made incredible discoveries about how our brains and bodies work, even helping us understand how to create new synapses in our brains. What we're learning in neuroscience confirms the Bible. Our brains have "neuroplasticity", the incredible ability to change.

How many of us strive to be close to God no matter where we are, including at work? If our prayer life is strong, we can speak to God every time we need to ask for help, to know his will in moments of uncertainty, and to do whatever he wants us to do in a way that pleases him. On Tuesday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Russ Gehrlein studied the spiritual leadership of Nehemiah, finding that this man of God remained close to God in prayer and was able to sense when God was leading him, whether it was something great or small.

Weknow that work is meaningful, but we rarely feel that it is.

Monday on Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Greg Phelan, writing for the Gospel Coalition says that we often believe Genesis 2 while feeling Genesis 3. So what should we do?

On Wednesday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, MBI Professor of Bible, Dr. James Coakley joins us to suggest yet another interesting way to freshen up our bible study. In computing, a hyperlink is a reference to data that the user can follow by clicking or tapping that leaps to another document or to a specific element within a document. Biblical authors do the equivalent by expecting readers to connect to other texts because they are inextricably linked by common words or concepts that empower readers to make meaningful comparisons and contrasts.

Moms know all too well that God doesn’t promise an easy road for us—or our kids. As much as we’d love to protect them from heartaches, it just isn’t possible.

On Tuesday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, author, Tara Cole offers devotional readings and prayers for Moms to use, because no matter what our kids are facing during the school year, we can’t go wrong when we pray and teach them to pray too.

And they need to be in relationship with genuine, authentic people they can be honest with.

Jesus’s treatment of women was revolutionary. That’s why they flocked to him. Wherever he went, they sought him out. They came to him for healing, for forgiveness, and for answers. So what did women see in this first-century Jewish rabbi and what can we learn as we look through their eyes today?

Dr. Jim Coakley, Professor of Bible at MBI joins Mornings with Eric and Brigitte on Monday to show us yet another way to freshen up our bible study with the "Coakley Voiceovers and Asides." A definition of a voiceover or aside is an off-screen voice that informs the audience of important facts or opinions in fiction and non-fiction productions. Authors typically do not inject themselves into the events that they are writing about. On occasion, though, they cannot seem to help themselves and insert a "voice-over" that overrides what the characters are doing in the text.

All of us experience situations, people, or events that fuel emotional pain. Forgiveness helps us release that pain to move forward into new opportunities. Traumatic memories—from hurts and rejection to relationship wounds—are stored in the brain’s amygdalae and can be repeatedly reactivated by any of our five senses. The choice to forgive frees us from lingering resentments that can keep us mentally, physically, or emotionally stuck in the past. Forgiveness is a transaction, a choice to obey God--sometimes long before we feel like forgiving.

Distractions can steal your joy. They can definitely steal your purpose. On Monday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, author Billie Jauss shares how she tried to overcome a season of feeling unsettled and uncertain by simplifying her schedule and taking control of life’s chaos.

Through detoxing from the emotional toxins, realigning priorities, and creating a spiritual health plan, we can claim confidence and find fulfillment not in adding one more thing but in realizing God’s best things.
