The Love’s Playbook Podcast The Bible as the Story of an All-good God
Don’t have time to read the Bible? Can’t understand it? Here it is written as a story for adults that reads like a novel. The story of an all-good God. Listen and fall in love. My version has characters who are fleshed out with carefully researched backstory because they were people like us. I wanted to slow the stories down, make them come to life with characters you can relate to. People like you--people you can identify with and remember. AND the focus is on a good God, not a scary or angry one. The men who wrote the Bible wanted a strong warrior God, and to be sure They are! (One position--three beings who fill it.) But there is such a difference between Their preferred will and Their allowed will. Love and freedom are Their greatest values. Episode 1 is my fantasy of Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 with Revelation 12-–the universe before us. Listen to Abba, Adonai and Ruach converse and see how evil could enter a perfect world—a perfect creation!

This is an x-rated Bible story. In fact if you are under 25 don’t read it—it is traumatizing. I’ve often wondered why it is in Scripture. So I tried to fill out the thoughts and feelings that had to be there—even so it’s hard to read. I even added a couple of conversations between Adonai and Ruach that must have happened. It shows the complexity of God trying to help Their wayward children solve the dilemmas their own thinking and ways created.

Sorry this one has the wrong picture—couldn’t change it. This started off to be a discussion on 1st Peter. However, it was Easter weekend and soon it went to a powerful question “Why did Jesus die?”

I’ve often wondered about the stories in Judges…why include them? Especially the last two! Now I get it. It’s in the last minute of this 12 minute podcast. And chronologically those last two stories come first so that’s where they are—if you are under 30 don’t read chapter 3—it’s that bad!

This chapter and live discussion was on Nero’s death as well as Paul and Peter’s death, but what a contrast in who they were and how they died!

Judges is one of the hardest books to read or write in the Bible. It took a lot of prayer and learning.

If you struggle with Christians not acting like Christians, you may enjoy this discussion of Paul writing his second and third letters to those in Corinth, and his personal defense against those who judge him. God is so good!
