TBU Bonus intro episode
Episode Summary
As we step into a new year, this short bonus episode serves as a listener letter—a moment to pause, reflect, and share where The Bible Unplugged podcast is headed next.
Many of you have shared the same thought: “The only disappointment is when the closing music starts.”
I’ve taken that to heart.
Beginning in January, The Bible Unplugged will move into a new rhythm—one designed to slow us down, create space, and help Scripture settle more deeply into our lives.
Why the Change?
Our lives are loud.
We’re surrounded by constant noise—news, notifications, expectations, and the pressure to keep up. If we’re not careful, we start treating our spiritual lives the same way: rushed, compressed, and squeezed into the margins.
But Scripture doesn’t move at that pace.
God often speaks quietly. He nudges rather than shouts. And much of His work in us happens slowly, over time.
This new rhythm isn’t about adding more content—it’s about creating space:
Space to breathe
Space to listen
Space for God to speak
What’s Changing
Starting in January, the podcast will move into a 7-week “Sabbath Cycle.” Here’s what that means:
Longer episodes
Most episodes will expand from 7–8 minutes to about 15–20 minutes, allowing the stories and themes of Scripture the time they deserve.Aligned content
Podcast episodes will align with devotional and book themes available at PowerLoveandMiracles.com. The content won’t repeat—it will expand and deepen.A more spacious feel
Same Bible research. Same “unplugged” approach. More room to make connections and bring Scripture into real life.Intentional moments of quiet
Brief pauses—not mistakes or glitches—but intentional space to listen and reflect.
This is not a meditation podcast. It remains a Bible-focused teaching show. But the goal is to move from information to formation.
What’s Not Changing
This is still The Bible Unplugged.
Scripture stays front and center
Context, background, and meaning still matter
Mistranslations and misunderstandings are still addressed
Faith is still applied to real, messy life
Same heart. Same voice. Same commitment.
Just… a better pace.
What’s Coming in January
Beginning with Episode 70, we’ll launch a new series:
Hidden Heroes of Holy Week
This series focuses on:
The overlooked
The unassuming
The background figures God used in extraordinary ways
At the same time, a companion book and devotional project will develop alongside the podcast—moving together without overwhelming you.
Instead of speeding up, the goal is to settle in.
A Simple Invitation
As we begin this new rhythm:
Don’t let the episodes become background noise
Try listening a little differently
Pause for a moment after the episode ends
Let one thought or sentence stay with you
No pressure. No perfect listening.
Just an open heart.
God often does His best work in quiet places.
My Prayer for You
Let God meet you in the ordinary moments of your day, release the pressure to carry everything alone, and receive the gift of a slower, steadier faith.
Have a blessed week.
