This podcast’s strapline is ‘Connect with God in the time it takes to get to work.’
We all (I’m pretty sure) have been in the position where we wake up late, deliberately sleep in, or are just generally too busy to have our Bible-reading time on a particular day; I know I have!
This is where Ten Minute Bible Talks (TMBT) comes in. Like many, if I haven’t read my Bible or prayed in the morning before the start of day, I feel a little fuzzy and not quite right for the rest of the day. TMBT have developed a short Bible message to encourage you in these situations or to bless you further (if you haven’t neglected your Bible) while you commute to work.
I started listening to TMBT recently while I was away visiting churches within our family in South Africa. I would get up, read the verse they were talking about and get ready while listening to the ten-minute exposition.
I started from Psalm 1 (they are now on Psalm 41). There are five hosts of the podcast, yet only one is featured in each episode. A few times an episode I find myself ‘mhmming’ in response to a good point, or adding a heart ‘amen’. The hosts seem to unpack the theme and truth of each Psalm and pull out practical application in such a short amount of time. They also produce a weekly newsletter that goes deeper into their teaching.
This podcast is great, not just for your commute, but for short coffee breaks at work, while cleaning, or doing the washing up!
