Bean and Bible

In this episode we talk about Salt and Light, two very important messages to Christians today.  Don't blend in, don't be lost in the crowd, instead live life as a good Christian and let your Christianity be known!We also talk about Anger, Revenge and Love.  Now we aren't talking about a teenage TV drama, we are talking about some of Jesus' first sermons after the sermon on the mount.  Anger is a dangerous thing, it can grow and fester and often times spill out into everyday life.  Mandi gives us a run down on how anger is not only a sin equal to murder, but also the physical and emotional effects of anger from the view of a mental health nurse who witnesses this every day.  We end with love because one of the most important themes Jesus teaches is that we should love our neighbors, but also that we should love and pray for those who persecute us.  We as humans often get angry and want to get even, that's the anger and revenge part, but Jesus charges us to do better and instead pray for those who persecute you or you see as your enemy.  When they slap one cheek, offer them the other, don't fight back, instead pray for them that they might find the peace and happiness that you have.  These are powerful messages, especially in today's world were social media and the internet seem to help anger grow and fester.  Thanks for listening!Like us on facebook at facebook.com/beanandbible, Instagram at BeanandBible, Twitter at @BeanandBibleYou can find us on the web at www.beanandbible.com.Please email us your thoughts, words of encouragement or questions to beanandbible@gmail.comWe’d really appreciate if you go give us a 5 star review on your favorite podcast app, it really helps us spread the word and get this podcast to the people that need it most.Find us on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bean-and-bible/id1512608699Find us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7ugDN4MQx8rU4j6RKJkuhIFind us on Stitcher: https://w;ww.stitcher.com/s?fid=531955&refid=stprFind us on Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xMDE2MTI1LnJzcw==Find us on iHeart Radio: http://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-Bean-and-Bible-63031092Music provided by Jeremy Kolmin @ https://soundcloud.com/jeremykolminThis has been a production of the beanandbible podcast.

Welcome Back!We continue on in Matthew and we see Jesus be subjected to temptations by Satan, very much like the temptations we all receive every day.  Temptations with material things and comfort are very enticing, but we can take comfort in the Bible and following Christ as he resisted temptations presented to him.Then we hit the beatitudes, (not to be confused with "bad attitudes") and discuss our favorites in this season and time in our life.  What's your favorite beatitude?

So here we are with our first full episode of the Bean and Bible podcast.  Today we dive right in with some open discussion, so open your bibles to Matthew chapters 1-3.  We experience the birth of Christ and meet one of our favorite biblical figures, John the Baptist.  Are your actions matching your thoughts and words?  God calls to remind us that if our actions do not match our words, we are no better than the nay-sayers during the time of the book of Matthew.  The story of John the Baptist baptizing Jesus is a great reminder of this as he calls out the pharisee's for speaking one way, but living their life and acting in another.  Does this ring true for you?  Grab you bible, grab a coffee, sit down and let's discuss!Please like, rate, review The Bean and Bible podcast on iTunes, Spotify, Google Podcasts or where ever you listen to help more people find us and experience a down to earth look at and discussion of what the bible means to everyday people!Intro/Outro music provided by: Jeremy Kolminhttps://soundcloud.com/jeremykolminThis episode has been produced by BeanandBible Podcast and is not allowed to be reproduced in any way without consent of BeanandBible Podcast.  You can reach us at the following:Web: www.beanandbible.comEmail: beanandbible@gmail.comFacebook: @beanandbibleInstagram: @beanandbibleTwitter: @BeanandBibleLike, Rate and Review our podcast, it helps other like you to find our podcast!
