Hello! I'm Allen Greeley and I love thinking and meditating on Scripture. Another word for it, which we don't use very often, is pondering. When the mother of Jesus heard the shepherds retell the vision of the angels celebratory singing; the Scripture says, "Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart" (Luke 2:19). That alone is my goal with this podcast. I want us to treasure in our hearts what we hear from God and ponder it. It would be an honor to have you listen in an ...

In an America as big as ours, there's definitely no shortage of problems. And like any mess, the hard fact is that somebody's going to have to clean things up. But we can't always look to Mom and Dad to take care of things for us. Eventually, things will have to be left to the next generation. A generation that's hopefully been prepared for everything that's coming their way. But it's not all down to intellect. You need street smarts- soft skills, and those aren't always taught at your child ...

More than two thousand years ago, the great Greek philosopher Socrates was condemned to death for making seditious comments against the city state of Athens. His followers and disciples were legion. Ranging from Xenophon, the mercenary warrior and historian of the Peloponnesian War to the scholarly Plato, Socrates was described as the conscience-keeper of the nation, or the “gadfly” who would not let the massive machinery of the state rest in complacence. The Apology of Socrates by Plato was ...

Send Allen a text - Ponder with me the struggle to understand the world we live in. Why isn't God swooping in and fixing our greatest problems? Does He see them and why isn't He intervening?

Send Allen a text - Ponder with me about the life of Paul and what made him such an effective teacher. Paul was a regular dude!

Send Allen a text - Ponder with me about how we should never leave people behind. The world doesn't seem to care about the "little people", but Jesus sure did and so does a revived church. When Christians are truly awake to God's purposes, there is a tremendous effort to ensure no one is left behind or left out. When Nehemiah finds out about the "l…

Send Allen a text - Ponder with me about the silent killer - discouragement! More importantly though, let's think about how we ought to attack it head-on. Discouragement is not to be left alone.

Send Allen a text - Ponder with me about why the sun's light failed the day Christ died. Why did that happen? Furthermore, why does the Holy Spirit want us to know it happened? It's recorded 3 times.

Send Allen a text - Ponder with me what it means to take personal responsibility! Here I am, send me -- that was not said by Nehemiah but that perfect describes his attitude.

Send Allen a text - Ponder with me about trusting in ourselves. We look at Israel's trust in the Temple in Jeremiah 7 and then transition to thinking about self-righteousness.

Send Allen a text - Ponder with me how difficult it is at times to trust God's promises.
