If you’re looking at this web page, it won’t take long to notice a discrepancy between dates. This update was recorded on Sept 14, but because I upload files to Apple/Spotify/etc so that they are heard in order, the web page date is Aug 31.

The ministry update is less than 7 minutes, but the upshot is that A) I’m committed to continuing the podcast, the primary portion of which is the daily audio Bible Monday through Saturday, and B) I backdate espisodes because, though I’ve fallen behind in regular posting, I will catch up sooner or later.

In other words — I’ve done this for more than 7 years, and I’m not quitting now.

Why the delays of late?

Two things. 1) I’ve finished the classwork for my doctorate and am now in the thesis project phase — which is both research and writing a paper that’ll be ~150 pages, and 2) I’m beginning a “residency” — an intentional role as an associate pastor in the denomination I hope to ordain with wherein I’ll be mentored into preaching, teaching, and leading over the span of 1 year.

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.
