Welcome to Redeem the Commute. I’m Ryan, your host for this daily challenge. It’s Thursday, the day we try to apply and live out what we’ve learned this week from the Bible.

Jesus is… Teacher – Wednesday
Hi, welcome to Redeem the Commute. I’m Ryan, your host for the Daily Challenges. Yesterday we read the story of Jesus reading from the Bible in his hometown, and then instead of teaching about the passage, he simply said, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” It certainly seems he was claiming to […]

It is the […]
Wednesday – Change It – Teacher
https://vimeo.com/107930778 Yesterday we heard a story Jesus told about one seed being planted in four different soils, that all respond quite differently. The path is hard beaten with no protection. The seed stays on the surface, and birds snatch it up. The rocky ground does not have enough soil, so although it began growing, that […]
Tuesday – Study It – Teacher
This week we are exploring how Jesus was known as a Teacher. Certainly he was aware of this, since he intentionally gathered disciples like a rabbi, a Jewish religious teacher. He consciously cultivated that image, not just with a few followers, but he also gathered crowds and spoke to them, like in today’s reading: That […]
Monday – A New Idea – Teacher
A friend of mine went to a seminary on the west coast to become a minister, and was thrilled to have studied under a really well known professor. He’d written books of all kinds, edited magazines, pastored churches, taught classes. One of the best known Christians in the world. I honestly didn’t know that much about him before […]
