“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

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.

The Porn of 3000 years ago. S31e65 Pv5:15
03/06/2026 | 6 min
Humans have been attracted to each other since Adam's "Eureka!" exclamation in the garden. So we are not the first generation to try and get it right.
Jesus expands adultery to include even lustful thoughts in Sermon on the Mount. Mostly today we'll turn to Proverbs of 3000 years ago to steer us into truth.
Remarkably, it will tell us exactly which breasts to be intoxicated by. It will clarify which "cistern" ;-) to drinking from. Proverbs wants joy for you, if you do this right. Watch for 6 minutes. subscribe.

The Story of Rafe When White Water Rafting S31e64 Mt5:27
02/06/2026 | 6 min
You know that moment when you are standing in the parking lot of the outfitter, just about ready to get in your raft to go white water rafting?
Your crew is assembled. Life jackets are on. Wetsuits are on because it is the spring thaw and the river is high. . Paddles are in hand.
Then your guide: Rafe (with the good arms) will be your guide. He’ll instruct you on the commands you need not to die on your day. He’ll instruct you on how to have appropriate fun without suffering the occasional fatal consequences of the river.
Such is our passage from the good book today. Please watch. Like, subscribe and survive:

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.’
