In the beginning. These are the first words of two chapters of the Bible—one in the Old Testament and one in the New. These are also the opening lyrics to Anna Miriam Brown's song "Was The Word" from her musical His Story The Musical.     Join me on the podcast as we explore what "beginning" we're talking about, Who was there, and what happened. It's exactly what you think, yet so much more.     In this episode, I discuss the following:    Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture – this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include:  Slow down Read the text out loud Write out Scripture Use your imagination Meditate on Scripture Compare and contrast Journal your thoughts   The Episode Guide for continued self-study Anna Miriam Brown's musical "His Story The Musical," now being performed live in Texas - His Story The Musical Website My Friday With Friends episode with Anna - Special Edition: Anna Miriam Brown on Friday With Friends A previous episode of More Than a Song featuring a song from the musical - Episode #303 Starting in Genesis 1, taking it slow, and meditating on the account of creation - Genesis 1-Genesis 2:3 Heading over to John 1, taking it slow, and meditating on the life and light of men - John 1:1-18 Seeing that Jesus is the Word who was with God in the beginning - John 1:14 A commentary on the true light - John 1:9-18 Jesus commentary on darkness - John 3:16-21 Comparing and contrasting Genesis 1 and John 1 Learning more about The Word - Colossians 1:13-20 The Creator of all things has keeping power     You will never arrive, my friend.

By whatever means necessary, slow down and take your time. Then read and meditate on John 1. Take your time here as well. Before you jump to making comparisons between the two areas of Scripture, use the same techniques to slow down and meditate on John 1. Then, after slowly processing your interaction with these two areas of Scripture, ask God to reveal the common threads between the two and what He might be showing you. As you consider the themes of life and light found in these areas of Scripture, consider how Colossians 1 describes the actions of the Father through the Son on our behalf

#467: "Was The Word" by Anna Miriam Brown

Welcome to Friday With Friends! I have the distinct privilege of meeting incredible followers of Christ who have amazing ministries, fascinating careers, and incredible hobbies and pet projects that flow out of their identity in Christ. While my podcast is a solo show, I still want a venue to introduce you to these friends as examples of the multifaceted ways God works in and through His people. In this episode, I have the privilege of hosting Anna Miriam Brown to talk about her musical "His Story: The Musical," the opening song "Was The Word," her favorite Bible Interaction Tool Exercises, and why she loves God's Word. Now 23, Anna started writing His Story: The Musical at the age of 16 while on a mission to Africa. A dyslexic, unable to read or write before 9 years old, homeschooled Anna focused instead on the arts before writing her first songs at 15. As a social-media-savvy Gen Z, she sees a chance to reach her generation with the timeless story of light and hope. Anna is an author and illustrator of over a dozen educational books, some bestsellers, for children, especially kids with Dyslexia and teens with their passions and career goals. Anna currently lives in Dallas and travels often doing research for writing projects, which include several new musicals.

Special Edition: Anna Miriam Brown on Friday With Friends

We celebrate the arrival of Jesus Christ as a baby at Christmas. However, He's slated to arrive again. I wonder if there is anything we can learn from those who eagerly expected Christ's arrival the first time? Anna Miriam Brown's song "Arrive" inspired me to explore this question and more.     I can't wait to introduce you to Simeon in the pages of Luke's account.   On this week's episode I discuss:    Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include:  Repetition Observe Write down your observations Explore a topic Remember the people described in Scripture were real Follow the cross reference Make a list   The musical this song comes from - HisStoryTheMusical.com The story behind His Story The Musical - YouTube Video The details of the week after Christ's arrival as a baby in the hay - Luke 2:21-24 Following the cross-reference to what the law requires - Leviticus 12 Meeting Simeon - Luke 2:28-35 The arrival of Jesus Christ was the culmination of God's great plan since before the foundation of the world - Galatians 4:4 Making a list of the qualities displayed in Simeon  righteous devout eagerly waiting for the Messiah to come and rescue Israel the Holy Spirit was upon him the Holy Spirit revealed things to him he followed the leading of the Holy Spirit   As we await the second arrival of Christ may we display these characteristics as well    Additional Resources    Lyrics - BandCamp Link The story behind "His Story The Musical" - YouTube Video    This Week's Challenge   Read Matthew 1 and 2 and Luke 1 and 2 again this week. Keep your eye out for the details of the arrival. Slow down and consider Simeon who was forever recorded in history for us to know. The details of who he was were important enough for God to ensure they were included in Scripture, and we can learn so much from him as we eagerly await the arrival of Christ the second time.
