Work, work, work, work, work. I’m ashamed to admit that overwork was only partially responsible for why it took me so long to get this podcast episode up and running. Plenty of other things (namely my lack of motivation) contributed quite a bit. But, here we are, nearly a year after I recorded this episode,…

Hey friends! You’ll never guess what happened to me this summer…I finally got COVID! Here it’s been 3 and a half years since the pandemic started, and I’ve been clean this whole time. Even got 4 vaccines! But as fate would have it, burnout and lack of sleep led to the perfect storm within my…

Let’s go back to the first book of the Bible: Genesis. You may be generally familiar with the creation story of Genesis. However, this study isn’t going to focus on creation. Instead, we’re going to look at Genesis 3, which is an equally (if not more) important story in the Bible. Overview of Genesis 1-2…

This study takes a look at the book of Psalms in the Old Testament. We don’t read from the Psalms very often in Sunday Chapel Time, but Christians and Jews have turned to this poetry for encouragement and comfort for thousands of years. The book of Psalms is basically a book of songs. Many of…

My fellow missionaries and I have been doing an Ecclesiastes Sunday Chapel Time series for the past several months. In this study’s passage, the Teacher continues to investigate what is good for people to do during their life, focusing on pleasure and accomplishments. Prior to this study, we studied the end of Ecclesiastes 1. We…
