Bible Read Me Charles Van Deursen Most people may have never read the Holy Bible from cover to cover for several good reasons. A couple of hinderances might be that the texts reflect an ancient culture and that much of it is not in chronological order. Here you will enjoy listening to a summary of daily portions of Scripture grouped in one week increments, chosen in the order that they occurred in history. By this time next year you will have gained a better understanding of the big picture of the Bible narrative as well as intriguing details that will help you to connect the events of ancient days with the life that you are now living. Just as wise King Solomon wrote, "There is nothing new under the sun," but many times it can be difficult to find the time to dig out and apply these nuggets of golden truth to your daily life.Charles Van Deursen presents the Scripture summaries in a literal, grammatical-historical context while using the language in the way that Christian Women’s Weight Loss | Faith, Food, Fitness Ondrea Lynn - Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach for Christian Women Are you tired of fighting the scale 24/7?

I remember what Increments with Alishah Novin Alishah Novin Increments is a show for technologists about leveraging the in-between moments. Those moments you come up for air, and take a beat.They say music is about the space between the notes, and just like music - growth happens in those moments between projects. Increments won't always give you answers, but will create the space for you to find them Siblinghood of Recovery Angie Reno When I found out my son was deep in the throes of Substance Use Disorder (SUD), chaos became the norm. As each step became more challenging, the information on SUDs, treatment, healing, and basically everything that comes with an SUD Family crisis, became overwhelming. Inundated with so much information, I felt like I had crossed space and time and landed in a new world. I actually had: I had entered the world of Recovery. My goal through this Podcast is to condense what I learned into small increments, and provide anyone willing to listen a message of hope. The world of Recovery is filled with parents, children, and family members who walk together. We share what we learn, listen with heart, and provide a community of support. We are a Siblinghood of Recovery.
