Why do great people suffer? S31e132 Mt11:1
02/09/2026 | 7 min
The greatest person in history is in prison and Jesus knows it. His imprisonment and soon beheading is pure evil. Why doesn't Jesus stop it?
Is it because He is unaware? No.
Is it because He is unable? No. The passage emphasized Jesus' power over blindness, lameness, sickness, and even death.
Is it because He has forgotten about the hairs on my head? No.
At least for today, let's acknowledge that He is able. He is aware. He had not forgotten. Let us be careful of what we are tempted to accuse God of. And, yet He still allows.

What does the tight end say to the running back? S31e131 Mt10:40
01/09/2026 | 7 min
The encouragement of the tight-end to the running back is different than the encouragement of the guy in the seats to the running back. To be recognized and appreciated by another in the game has a special meaning.
Join me for 7 minutes to think about others in the game and how to receive them in a meaningful, helpful way.
The eternal work of the church here is done by very temporal people. They could probably use some encouragement.

Get ready for the hard stuff S31e130 Mt10:38
31/08/2026 | 6 min
Buckle in, brothers and sisters! Jesus equates following Him to taking up a cross. He means to have us willingly, enthusiastically seizing this very hard thing. It comes as a superior priority to anything, or anyone else. Yes, even your own mother in comparison!
Join me to look for some of the harder side of discipleship. It is a high call. If you haven't yet said Yes to Him, come back tomorrow by subscribing and following.

Am I more valuable than the hair in the shower drain? S31e129 Mt10:26
28/08/2026 | 6 min
Your value can be assessed compared to sparrows and the hair you lose in the shower today. The good news is that you are of MORE VALUE. God values YOU more than the hair in the drain.
The real question is of what value do you hold HIM? Is He more value to you than sparrows or hair? It is important now, but it becomes critical soon.
Subscribe if you know your value.

Endure when you are on the menu of WOLVES S31e128 Matt 10:22
27/08/2026 | 7 min
The famous concluding lines spoken by Martin Luther at the Diet of Worms in 1521 are: "I cannot and will not recant anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen."
What do you do in circumstances that you do not prefer? Join me for 7 minutes to find out what you should do when you are asked to endure when on the menu of wolves.

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.’
