even for somebody of a non Christian background

the fact that you are taking the time to do this for us father is greatly appreciated. I've been in and out of abrahamic faith I've looked around and been left wanting. so on this day September 23rd 2023 I am now starting on the Journey from A to Z with you. I hope you read these and let's see what happens. I hope you're able to breathe some life into what I should have been following for quite a while.....

The wisdom and heart of God

It is amazing how much wisdom God displays in the book of Job 38 when be starts speaking. I am definitely saving this for when my arrogance takes hold of me.
And then to hear Proverbs 4:20-27 where it feels like he speaks directly to our hearts warning us to take heed to his word and keep it, just wonderful!
Thank you so much father Mike and thank God in Jesus' name.

I enjoy having time set aside each day to read a portion of the bible.

It’s great to have something to remind me and keep me accountable to reading the bible and spending time with the Lord. Fr. Mike is easy to listen to and understand.
Unfortunately 3 episodes at least have failed to drop and it’s only day 32. I’ve closed the app and tried refreshing it several times but the new episodes still won’t drop. I don’t know how to fix it.
