About the #ForTheHope podcasts
#ForTheHope’s Daily Audio Bible is (crazy idea!) a daily audio Bible reading. But it’s not just a voice — you can go anywhere and hear a better voice just read the actual text. We read through the New Testament in about 10 months and the Old Testament in about 14 months with a passion for just keepin’ it real, having conversations like normal people, and living out the love of Jesus better every single day.
Also showing up in your stream when you subscribe via Apple, Spotify, or your favorite podcast software are occasional (and separate) #PracticeTheWay segments for nurturing our spiritual formation and #AlwaysBeReady segments that help you take “a ministry of showing up” to work and culture.
About Roger Courville, CSP
Roger Courville, CSP is an award-winning speaker, award-winning author, and a passionately bad guitarist. He holds a Master’s in Christian Apologetics from Talbot School of Theology (Biola University) and is now working on his Doctorate in Ministry in Spiritual Formation at Denver Seminary. And…all that blah blah blah means nothing if he doesn’t help you fall more in love with Jesus and the people in Jesus’ world. If we do not have sacrificial love (1 Co 13, Ro 12), we’ve got nothing.
#2462: John 16 | 2 Chronicles 23-24 | Proverbs 28:10-16
God is the only source of true/complete justice, and without Jesus, that’s scary.

About the #ForTheHope podcasts
#ForTheHope’s Daily Audio Bible is (crazy idea!) a daily audio Bible reading. But it’s not just a voice — you can go anywhere and hear a better voice just read the actual text. We read through the New Testament in about 10 months and the Old Testament in about 14 months with a passion for just keepin’ it real, having conversations like normal people, and living out the love of Jesus better every single day.
Also showing up in your stream when you subscribe via Apple, Spotify, or your favorite podcast software are occasional (and separate) #PracticeTheWay segments for nurturing our spiritual formation and #AlwaysBeReady segments that help you take “a ministry of showing up” to work and culture.
About Roger Courville, CSP
Roger Courville, CSP is an award-winning speaker, award-winning author, and a passionately bad guitarist. He holds a Master’s in Christian Apologetics from Talbot School of Theology (Biola University) and is now working on his Doctorate in Ministry in Spiritual Formation at Denver Seminary. And…all that blah blah blah means nothing if he doesn’t help you fall more in love with Jesus and the people in Jesus’ world. If we do not have sacrificial love (1 Co 13, Ro 12), we’ve got nothing.
#2450: John 6:52-7:52 | 1 Chronicles 12 | Proverbs 26:1-5
Sometimes we let Jesus stop someone’s argument — put it on Him.
