*This weekly newsletter will share about the Bible Breakdown podcast, things about RLC, and my favorite things from around the web. My prayer is it will help you know God better.
Hello friends. Happy Saturday!
Not every season feels significant, but Exodus 2 reminds us that God is always preparing something. Moses’ early life is filled with uncertainty and hidden development. What seems like waiting is actually preparation. God is at work long before the calling becomes clear.
🎧 My Favorite BibleBreakdown Episode This Week>>>
📚 Scripture. 💪
Exodus 2:23–25 (NLT)
“Years passed, and the king of Egypt died. But the Israelites continued to groan under their burden of slavery. They cried out for help, and their cry rose up to God. 24 God heard their groaning, and he remembered his covenant promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 25 He looked down on the people of Israel and knew it was time to act."
Observation: Moses’ story begins with God’s protection in a dangerous time. He was raised in Pharaoh’s household but identifies with his people. His attempt to act fails, leading to exile. Moses spends years in obscurity before God calls him. The chapter ends with God hearing the cries of His people. Even when God seems silent, He is attentive and preparing His plan.
Application: Trust that God is working in your hidden seasons, even when nothing seems to be happening.
Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, that You are working even in the quiet and unseen parts of my life. Help me trust Your timing and preparation.

📣 Sermon/Testimony. Jonah Sermon Series Part 4. (Tim Mackie)
This message focuses on Nineveh’s repentance and the surprising response of its king. Mackie highlights the contrast between pagan humility and Jonah’s reluctant obedience. The sermon shows that God’s mercy is available to all people, even those we least expect.
🤔 Apologetics. Can You Lose Your Salvation? (J. Warner Wallace) This teaching focuses on the problem of evil and how it fits within a Christian worldview. The speaker explains that the existence of evil does not disprove God but actually points to a deeper moral reality. It helps believers understand suffering in a way that strengthens trust in God rather than weakening it.
🧠 Mental Health. How to Stop Fighting Instrusive Thoughts. (Therapy in a Nutshell) This video explains how to handle intrusive thoughts using practical psychological tools and frameworks. It teaches that not every thought deserves attention or belief, and that we can choose how we respond to them. This connects to apologetics by reinforcing the discipline of evaluating thoughts critically and aligning them with truth.
✍️ Deeper Study. Acts 1:1-11. (The Naked Bible - Dr. Michael Heiser) This video emphasizes the importance of using logic and reasoning when engaging in apologetics. It teaches that faith and reason are not opposed but work together to reveal truth. The message encourages believers to thoughtfully defend their faith while remaining humble and respectful in conversations.
📚 Book Recommendation. Body of Proof: The 7 Best Reasons to Believe in the Resurrection of Jesus. (Jeremiah Johnston) This book presents a compelling, accessible case for the resurrection of Jesus as the foundation of the Christian faith. Jeremiah Johnston draws on historical, archaeological, and textual evidence to give believers confidence that their faith is rooted in reality rather than wishful thinking. It is especially helpful for Christians who want to move beyond surface-level belief and understand why the resurrection is credible and significant. This is a great resource for strengthening personal faith and equipping you to engage in thoughtful conversations with others about Christianity.

🤪 Meme of the week
God’s preparation often happens in silence. Moses didn’t know what God was doing, but God never stopped working. The same is true for you. Trust the process—God is not finished.
