The God Bearers

Vanessa & Andy observe Advent with a new show: BEAR WITH ME, where we aim to integrate Belief and Practice in the Christian Life!

Today we explore what it means to carry "God with Us" as we go.

1. What’s in a name? BEAR with me - 0:00
A short bit on how we came up with the name for our podcast “Bear with Me”. We wanted to talk about this because it helps us with our big focus, which is part 2.

2. The God Bearers - 6:35
Revisiting Mary’s role in bearing God with Us and how that helps us think about the Christian Life.

3. Bearing God’s Word - 30:53
We look at the practice of Scripture Memorization as a very practical and down to earth way to bear God’s powerful and transforming Word in us.
