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!

My cohost Barb wanted to share a parallel between Moses’ experience of loss in book 5, and my experience of losing my husband a month ago.
Mark as Played
My cohost, Barb took us through our response to Revelation and then looking at Revelation through Jesus’ words about the end time.
Mark as Played
Did David falter in his faith? Probably anyone would have, but how good if we could have seen God show up for him!
Mark as Played
John’s description of the holy city or new Jerusalem is magnificent and probably needs two more discussions or another chapter. But if you wondered about it this is worth a listen.
Mark as Played
David stops depending on God and in fatigue and fear runs and makes other big mistakes.
Mark as Played
If you struggled with the concept of an eternally burning hell, this may be just the thing you’ve been waiting to hear. This is a discussion that makes sense with the goodness and the glory of God.
Mark as Played
Sometimes the wonderful things God calls us to are also laced with challenges and difficulties. This is a broken world, and David begins the experience.
Mark as Played
Wow! This discussion deals with some really important and difficult questions and topics. It starts with emotion and becomes so deeply joyful about the kind of God we have!
Mark as Played
This is a review and it may be confusing it summarizes chapters 14-18 and goes into Daniel 7 and then chapter 19.
Mark as Played
The difficulties began for David. Saul ‘s jealousy grows by the day. But he does keep his word about giving David his daughter as a wife and God works it out.

Somehow this one didn’t get published last week. So here it is. An Angel Reveals Babylon.
Mark as Played
This is a very spirited discussion about why God presented Revelation to John the way He did.
Mark as Played
One of the most well-known stories from the Bible is David and Goliath. This one is likely more relational and detailed, making David more real and less mythic.

Last week I muffed the recording, but this week it was even clearer that the God of Revelation18 is an all-good God! This week our discussion was mainly so what do we do?
Mark as Played
Another of my favorite chapters—this one when Samuel meets David.
Mark as Played
It can ruin you to need the approval of people. Why isn’t the approval of God more important to us?
Mark as Played
Probably the hardest part of Revelation to figure—backing up to look at the big picture helps.
Mark as Played
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.
Mark as Played
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.
