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!

Probably the hardest part of Revelation to figure—backing up to look at the big picture helps.

This is a great study in family systems. Saul’s Father’s words “act like a king” are obviously the ones that stick over Samuel’s and God’s.

One of the hardest parts of Scripture to get right for me has been the 7 last plagues. But I think this discussion is very helpful as we consider why.

We begin to see the tragic flaw in Saul that caused the downward spiral. Approval from Dad and men replaces trusting God.

Most of Revelation is hard, but this begins the hardest part for me. And yet I see it as one of the most important parts because this seems to contradict everything you’ve been taught or thought about God‘s love, forgiveness and mercy. But if you understand some key concepts, it opens up and agrees with God‘s all-goodness.

This is another example of why God chose Saul as king. Before his tragic flaw was exposed. Plus it has Samuel‘s impassioned farewell.

The reign of King Saul, Israel’s first king, and David’s rise to the throne is quite a ride. A very interesting story with places that make you question God. And we go there too.

Have you had trouble finding the good news and excitement of the three angels who give messages to earth in Revelation 14? Listen to this! It’s an hour but it might change your life. Truth isn’t always on the surface or what we thought or were taught.

Our collaboration and exchange of views on the book of Revelation has been so inspiring and meaningful—very mind expanding. Listening to the experience and perspective of others is mind expanding.

This is such an amazing picture of King Saul and who he could have been. It makes me so sad.
