I Am What I Am
The podcast episode centers on Paul's reflections in 1 Corinthians 15:9-10. Most of the chapter is on the resurrection, but we look at grace. Paul reflects on grace amidst his acknowledgment of his past as a persecutor of the church. He expresses profound humility, recognizing the vast gap…

Better Country - A Heavenly One
In the Bible Abraham is recognized as the father of many and a man of unwavering faith. He obeyed God's call without knowing his destination and believed in God's promises despite his advanced age, resulting in descendants as numerous as the stars. When tested to sacrifice his son Isaac…

Please Forgive Me, I Don't Understand
In the Bible, many individuals are called by God, but often resist His call, as exemplified by Gideon from the tribe of Manasseh. Gideon regarded himself as the least among his clan, reflecting a profound sense of inadequacy in the face of Israel's current situation, which stemmed from…

Embrace The Journey Of The Middle
In the biblical narrative of Joseph found in Genesis, we observe a profound journey of struggle and faith. Joseph, favored by his father Jacob, faced intense hatred from his brothers after sharing dreams that foretold his future prominence. Their animosity led them to sell him into slavery.…

If Not Now, Then When?
The text for this episode comes from the account of Elisha and Naaman and Gehazi from 2 Kings 5. After deceiving Naaman to get what he wanted, Gehazi was posed with a question from Elisha the prophet - 'Is this the time...?' It wasn't. It is never the time to deceive and lie to get what we want.…

Where Would You Rather Be?
The truth is - some believers can feel dissatisfied despite being in God's kingdom, yearning for unmet desires such as relationships or material possessions. True contentment is rooted in our relationship with Jesus, and is of great value. Psalm 84, illustrates the joy of serving God, emphasizing...

Work with Dignity, Joy, and Gratitude
This episode is drawn from Matthew 20:1-6. Jesus tells a parable about a land owner who agrees to pay a denarius to the very first workers presumably at 6am. To the others throughout the day, no agreement was made to a specific amount, but 'whatever is right'. A full days labor was about 12…

Yes, Stupid is in the Bible!
Yes, the word "stupid" does appear in some English translations of the Bible. The use of the word depends on the version of the Bible you're reading. For example, in my NIV, it showed up five times either as "stupid" or "stupidly". Sometimes, we see down right stupid stuff in the world. Stupid is…

Be Thankful For What You've Got
The essence of gratitude and the seriousness of coveting is captured in the context of the 10th commandment from Exodus 20:17, which warns against desiring what belongs to others. The term "covet" indicates an inordinate longing for another's possessions or relationships, which is in itself sin…

Unlock the Miracles with Obedience!
In a recent Sunday sermon, a friend of mine reflected on the narrative of Elijah from 1 Kings 17, highlighting his confrontation with King Ahab regarding the stopping of rain for a few years until God said so due to the Israelites' idolatry, particularly the worship of Baal. Baal, often regarded…

Know who you are, know who you are not
In order to lead a fulfilling life, it is essential to maintain both a to-do list and a to-don't list. Understanding one’s identity entails recognizing not only who one is but also who one is not. The example of John the Baptist illustrates this point; he clearly identified his purpose as a...

New Year Is Here, Now What?
This episode of "Godliness with Contentment," hosted by Keyno Hanna, celebrates its milestone of 100 episodes, focusing on biblical teachings related to money, wealth, and practical living. The central message draws from Isaiah 43:16-21, where God announces His intention to bring about a new and...

Find Your Calm This Christmas
Luke 2:8-14 recounts the night of Jesus' birth, highlighting the shepherds who received the angelic announcement of this momentous event. The angels proclaimed joy for all mankind, emphasizing that Jesus is the Savior, the promised Messiah, and Lord. This episode encourages reflection on the...

Guess What? We crushed all of our debts!
In this episode, I celebrate becoming debt-free after paying off our (my wife and I) mortgage, which I attribute to divine blessings. Proverbs 22:7 illustrates the weight of debt and the opposite subsequent liberation experienced upon its removal. There are now newfound options in our…

Reports Of My Downfall Are Wildly Overstated
I want to clear up any rumors that I’ve quit—I'm still here, just taking a moment to reflect on my journey. Recently, I’ve been thinking about how to create content that I can stick with consistently, even though I've been doing it weekly for nearly two years. A few weeks ago, I went to a…

Have you made the wrong thing the main thing?
The Scriptures I focus on in this episode are found in Matthew 13:22 and Colossians 3:2. Jesus in the parable of the Sower speaks about the thorns as the cares of this life and the riches and pleasures and describes them as the deceitfulness of wealth. Paul wrote to the Colossians that they set...
-
To Give or Not? Find Out!
To give or not to give, that is the question. Around us in our cities and places where we live, in fact wherever we go, there are needs. We are faced almost daily with the question of whether or not to give. We get some help I believe from what we see in Acts 3:1-10. Peter and John did not have...

Act Now: Procrastination Costs You!
Les Brown has a quote about potential: “The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that...

Stop Believing 'Can't': Start Doing!
This episode came to life because of what I am calling 'the garage opener incident'. But more about that in the actual recording. In Numbers 11:23, I find one of my favorite passages in the whole Bible. Here, God tells Moses, in a summarized version, that nothing is impossible for God, and that…

Go to the land God shows you
In Genesis 12, we find Abram with a call on his life from God. God called Abram and told Abram what to do and where to go...well not quite. Abram was to leave his father's house and go to a place God would show him. Along with this call, God told Abram that He would bless him. Then we see in vs 4...

4 things to do with worldy wealth
We plan for retirement but our life does not come to an end there.... We go into eternity, so we have to plan for eternity. Plan for your future! Heaven, not hell. Don’t miss the point! Eternity awaits. We cannot take worldly wealth with us, but rewards await us based on how we lived on earth. As...

The Rock
In Matthew 7:24-27 we find that the rock to build on is the words of Jesus. We are to build our houses on the Rock i.e. on Jesus' words. To go a little further, practically, we need to live our lives based on Jesus in order to win despite the storms of life. Storms will come, the winds will blow...

Small Axe
So, I love the music of Bob Marley - most of his songs. One of them is called 'Small Axe' and actually uses the first part Proverbs 26:27 in the song. 'Whosoever diggeth a pit shall fall in it…'. I cannot recall why this was on my mind the other day, but the concept of a small axe is huge. A…

What are you looking for?
In Genesis 15:1-6 we find God telling Abram (later Abraham) that God is Abram's protector and reward. Mind blowing right? Is God enough for you? Abram was at a place where he had no children but wanted them badly. So even though God says what he said, Abram was thinking - give me children. God...

Open Door
In Acts 16:6-10, Paul and Silas and company travel through Galatia and Phrygia having been kept from preaching in the Roman province of Asia (In Asia were places like Colossae, Ephesus, Thyatira, and others) by the Holy Spirit. They come to the border of another place Bithynia and are denied…

Would you know a miracle if you saw one?
Sometimes, God does amazing things in our lives and we think oh, that was a coincidence or it just happened. Amazing I said, not just everyday stuff. If it is a miracle then it is God's hand moving. So we need to recognize the miracle and we will see God moving. Then we need to give glory to God....

What Happens In Vegas...
What indeed? I returned from Las Vegas on Friday after a few days at Cisco Live! That was my 2nd time in Vegas, and both times were with my wife Pam. So, unfortunately for you who may be looking for stories, I don't have any spicy ones to tell. But what happens there? Gambling, and plenty of it....

Bring On The Rain
Over the past few weeks I was reintroduced to JoDee Messina a country artist with an amazing voice. I used to listen to her back in the 90s …..and 90s country music is a real thing. She has a song called "Bring On The Rain". I have not heard it for years until recently, now it's in my head. Bad...

Wisdom v Folly and taking personal responsibility
In this episode, we are reminded from the Scriptures that there are consequences to our every decision. Proverbs 9 shows us two invitations - one from Wisdom and the other from Folly. Both call out to us. The question is - which invite will you accept? I the midst of this chapter is vs 12 that…

Rise Up!
In this episode, I remind us that we are gonna have tough times in life. We will fall from time to time, yet those who trust in God have Him there to deliver us. Proverbs 24:16 tells that though a righteous man/woman fall seven times, they get up. Indeed, God gives us the strength to get up. Even...
-
The little man
In this episode, I call out the disrespect that people who have money can at times display towards the rest of us. I was reminded of this recently when a basketball player in the NBA decided to throw a ball at fans, then neglected to give an interview because the reporter did not subscribe to his...

David can still beat Goliath
In this episode, we are reminded that David can still beat Goliath. I was reminded a few nights ago as I watched my undermanned Miami Heat beat the juggernaut called the Boston Celtics. Jimmy Butler was out, Terry Rozier was out, and we beat the giant hitting 23 3-pointers along the way. This is...
-
Deception
In this episode, we investigate what Jesus calls the deceitfulness of wealth when he explains the parable of the Sower. What we have in our minds and hearts about money can deceive us. When we trust in money, we believe that when we have it that all of our problems will vanish - not true. I…

Age ain't nothin' but a number
In this episode, I tackle the mindset of the late starter who believes it is too late. That somehow because we are starting late that we can never reach our goals. It is only in our mind. I say our, because I was there only five years ago. I am a late starter. But I am in good company. Colonel...

Share your 'lil bit
In this episode we are reminded that God is there when we have a 'lil bit, supplying us with what we need so that we can also help others. We take a look at this situation in the Old Testament - 1 Kings 17 with Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath. God worked miraculously so that with the little she...

When all else fails
In this episode we are reminded that God is there when all else fails. We take a look at a dire situation in the Old Testament - 2 Kings 4 and how God worked in an amazing way. We learn a few things: -we always have something that God can bless -God always has a plan -keep doing what God tells…

Thirsty?
In this episode I talk about the fact that we can be thirsty for basically two types of things i.e. spiritual or physical. God gives an invitation to the thirsty in Isaiah 55:1-3. Those who accept the invitation get water, milk and wine at no cost. They are encouraged to buy without money. Why?...

Earned Wage Access
Today we talk about Earned Wage Access. So full disclosure, I just came across this topic this week. We currently don’t have this service in the Bahamas, but from what I see, it is becoming a hot topic in the United States. So what is EWA? It is a financial service that allows workers to access...

Time vs Money
If you had the choice between 1 million hours and 1 million dollars which would you choose? I would choose $1,000,000 and in the episode I tell you why. But don't shoot me until you have listened. To make matters worse, I give three reasons why time is greater than money: -We could have all the...

Too Smart For Your Own Good?
Sometimes, we can be too smart for our own good. We can over analyze things. We can be stuck in the Paralysis of analysis. We can be frozen by the Fear that keeps us from doing anything. Or even the Fear of change. Sometimes the mere weight of major decisions keep us from doing anything. Then…

Don't be a slacker
Proverbs 26:13-16 "A sluggard says, “There’s a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets!” As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed. A sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth. A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven...

Eating Healthy Ain't Cheap
I went to the food store here on my island to buy some vegetables. I bought a cauliflower, two types of squash (butternut and spaghetti), a yam and some colorful bell peppers. Don't scream but my total came to $32! The big shock of all was that the head of cauliflower was around $14! What I have...

Don't give up on your New Year's Resolution
How are your New Year's resolutions going so far? In an article by Forbes Health, it stated that - If you find yourself in the camp of setting lofty goals for the new year only to find yourself falling off the wagon just months (or weeks) later, rest assured that you’re not alone. In fact…

What about me?
Don't look around and say what about me. Focus on your blessings not on other people's blessings. It is easy to look around and find people who have more....or look like they have more. Stop wasting time and stressing yourself out! You can get the desires of your heart if they are in line with...

We've been here before
Watch out for being the dreamer. You have come up with 100 business ideas but have never pull it off. Perhaps you say that you just didn't have the capital. But there are ways to start a business with little capital. For the 100 ideas, maybe there have been 1000 excuses why it did not work; why…

Recognize and avoid dream killers
We are now squarely in the first days of 2024. This is typically when we go to the gym and start eating better and do whatever our resolutions are…well at least we start. The trouble is, most of us don’t continue. If we reach February 1st this is a big accomplishment since we normally stop a week...

Cleaning in Progress
Going into 2024 (if we make it) I want to challenge you and me to take the signs down. Go after a clean slate and write on it whatever you believe God is telling you to write. In Isaiah 43:18-19, God promises to do a new thing here even greater than the Exodus. Wow! He says forget the past; don’t...
