This will never make it into a Clint Eastwood Movie S31e70 Mt5:43
10/06/2026 | 6 min
What might compel me to not act like Clint Eastwood in practically every justice/revenge movie he's ever done? Maybe there is another hero I should be following.
Join me as we look at who exactly I should be extending grace to. Also, we'll examine the why of the motivation. Without it, not a bit of this will make sense.
Thank you for being here for 6.5 minutes with my dog Asa.

What should I do when I am wronged? S31e69 Mt5:38
09/06/2026 | 7 min
When evil comes, should I respond with "an eye for an eye?" Perhaps the justice system has a societal job, and I have a personal job. Perhaps I should give this some thought.
If an "eye for an eye" is given personally, doesn't this leave everybody blind metaphorically? Do not let evil overcome you by you becoming evil.
When you encounter evil against you: throw goodness at it
Leave room for wrath. Not yours, but God’s. Trust Him that He’s got this.

“I swear on the grave of my mother.” S31e68 Mt5:33
08/06/2026 | 6 min
Why do we sometimes attach oaths to our words? Why might we be tempted to add an oath, for example, "I swear on the grave of my mother?" Why would something I say, merit the calling upon the support of the burial plot of someone dear to me?
This is such a strange thing: that adding an OATH somehow increases the likelihood of a statement being TRUE.
The fact that there are oaths at all tells us one thing: that often, our words aren't true. Join me for 6 minutes to see what Jesus has to say about it.

“To thee I pledge my TROTH.” What’s that mean? S31e67 Mt5:31
05/06/2026 | 6 min
The Bible has some things to say about the marriage promise. It also has some things to say about the ending of the marriage promise, that is divorce.
Jesus speaks clearly and protectively about marriage in the Sermon on the Mount.
There is not a person watching/reading this who has not been touched somehow by divorce. This is a no-shame-podcast. My hope is that it will help you "keep your troth."

How serious is the sexual business of my life? S31e66 Mt5:29
04/06/2026 | 6 min
Sex is serious business. To say that it will characterize and define your life is putting it mildly. To change your sexual trajectory is likely to be difficult.
Jesus has some things to say about how aggressive to be in rooting out errors in sexual thoughts and sexual behaviors. Join me in listening and considering.

Acerca de Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder

Be With Me is a daily 7 minute chronological walk through the New Testament hosted by Michael Smith. It is for everyone who is curious about what Jesus actually said and did in the gospels. Most episodes will leave you with at least one good thought to chew on for the rest of the day. We start with the Bible and hopefully end with Awe. We are walking through the chronological events of Jesus' life and then thoughtfully considering them. It is meant to spur the devotional life of the Christian and the not-yet-Christian. We occasionally venture into the Old Testament when it helps our understanding of the New Testament events. Everybody has 7 minutes. Everybody needs to wonder. Be With Me is hosted by Michael Smith who has absolutely no special qualifications to do a podcast. He is not a pastor. He has not been to seminary. He does not lead a mega-church. He is not a professional and he has no more credentials than you do. He does, however, follow a great God with an observant eye and a curious heart. Each day, he starts with a study bible and aims for astonishment. ‘be with him’ for 7 minutes as he sets out daily to discover the God who invites us to ‘Be With Me.’
