Ep 257 The Bible Speaks to You and It Says, "Love One Another" with James Early

Episode 278

Fellow podcaster and Bible teacher, James Early, joins us today with some Bible-based encouragement to love, pray and think like Jesus. Is that actually possible? you might wonder. According to James, we can grow daily in our obedience and reformed mindset so that we can, all for heaven's sake and for God's kingdom and glory.

One way James shows God's love is through weekly Bible studies with a group of inmates in a local prison. His podcast is The Bible Speaks Today and from our chat, you will know that it does!

Some gems from our conversation:

Lack of unity often stems from people thinking they are always right.
Jesus wouldn't tell us to have His mindset if it were not possible.
To "repent" means in part to think in a new way.
To think like Jesus is to not be earth-bound in our minds nor self-focused.
Praying like Jesus is to start and end with God. We often start our prayers with the problem and end with the problem.
True prayer is surrendering to God's will.
My legacy isn't to have a bronze statue—rather it's to love others as Jesus loves.
Sometimes we can have the truth but not live the truth.
We can have this mindset: "What if I treat others the way I would treat Jesus?"
My commitment is to do whatever I can to further the cause of Christ.

James helps people learn to think, pray, and love like Jesus. He gives talks and conducts workshops on the Bible to churches and groups, as well as online. Since 2008 his prison ministry at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, CT has transformed hundreds of lives.
