Last month I mentioned I was adding word studies from the book I'm studying for the next season of the podcast season. I invited sharp-eyed readers to guess which one. Turns out I underestimated you: two readers guessed it correctly from just the first word study. Well done!
For everyone still guessing, here are three more clues:
- conscience, suneidesis, G4893
- quiet, hesuchia, G2271
- sober-minded, sophrosune, G4997
- and the original clue: godliness, eusebiea, G2150
If you think you know, contact me. The new season of the podcast starts September 2. There's still plenty of time to send in your guess.
From the Bible Study Library
- How to Cross Reference: a simple method: start near, test relevance, let clear verses explain hard ones.
- Understanding the Gospels: why the four gospels read the way they do, and what that means for how you study them.
- Understanding Jesus: two conclusions I've come to about the teaching of Jesus, after years of finding it baffling myself.
- Augustine’s 9 Principle of Interpretation - A practical guide to reading the Bible from one of church history’s greatest thinkers.
One Other Thing
Start Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity is still free on Kindle Unlimited for a little while longer, if you've been meaning to read it or hand it to someone who is.
That's it for July. Hit reply if you've got a guess on the book, or just to say hello. I read every email.

If you've been blessed by this podcast, please share it with a friend — but more importantly, encourage them with something you learned.
Maybe share a quick note about something you’ve learned. Your personal touch could make all the difference in blessing someone else.
