082. Giant Despair and Doubting Castle

086. Our Conversion

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan   Most of the reading today covers the conversation between Christian and Hopeful about Hopeful’s conversion story. There are so many good reminders from this portion, especially the fact that we should be eager to share our own conversion story with those around us. We hope this episode encourages you to do so.   Next week we will discuss pages 194-204 to “Manner of Backsliding” of Pilgrim’s Progress.     Order the next book we will be reading on the podcast: Stop, In the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath will Transform Your Life by Charlie Kirk   Thriftbooks: Click Here [https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/stop-in-the-name-of-god-why-honoring-the-sabbath-will-transform-your-life_charlie-kirk/56715449/?resultid=f4094003-3d19-4601-b8e1-142decd92ab7#edition=74183631&idiq=86422770]   Amazon: Click Here [https://www.amazon.com/Stop-Name-God-Honoring-Transform/dp/B0FPPV48PB/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1XSRNOYI7KPCC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.v-ItIXbXzR2RUdbaRoFPfe7ydfNP9gOPnLOSLEvTeXKMoiqMedQGwh8WVNJaXylWJKnAd0IE6azJc0DUYcwK4VRdDomPWWWLdT4NErJsg2wCKoboEfwBAREmnNsWzKzHe5QUGS0dRAquUFuPz_znTp5XynImyjHrKe1dZVzPfD1_dIbdtmE3qQ_uUu7FDhCuDrFMfvs5mVjlJjr46srmXCmN4zzTViLDAQFgy8czU74.KGBPjcbtkqnnHbxSBxB0eeCua2XAXyUziX_JHnw3Hrw&dib_tag=se&keywords=stop+in+the+name+of+God&qid=1769396997&sprefix=stop+in+the+name+of+go%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-1]

085. The Hour of Temptation

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan   Christian and Hopeful are faced with one test after another on this leg of their journey, but they continue to make progress towards the City of Zion. This section is a good reminder that regardless of any failures you may have encountered this past week, continue to walk by faith, pursue God’s Word, and be mindful of the danger of turning aside from Him, even just a little bit.   Next week we will discuss pages 183-194 to “Good Thoughts” of Pilgrim’s Progress.     Order the next book we will be reading on the podcast: Stop, In the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath will Transform Your Life by Charlie Kirk   Thriftbooks: Click Here [https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/stop-in-the-name-of-god-why-honoring-the-sabbath-will-transform-your-life_charlie-kirk/56715449/?resultid=f4094003-3d19-4601-b8e1-142decd92ab7#edition=74183631&idiq=86422770]   Amazon: Click Here [https://www.amazon.com/Stop-Name-God-Honoring-Transform/dp/B0FPPV48PB/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1XSRNOYI7KPCC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.v-ItIXbXzR2RUdbaRoFPfe7ydfNP9gOPnLOSLEvTeXKMoiqMedQGwh8WVNJaXylWJKnAd0IE6azJc0DUYcwK4VRdDomPWWWLdT4NErJsg2wCKoboEfwBAREmnNsWzKzHe5QUGS0dRAquUFuPz_znTp5XynImyjHrKe1dZVzPfD1_dIbdtmE3qQ_uUu7FDhCuDrFMfvs5mVjlJjr46srmXCmN4zzTViLDAQFgy8czU74.KGBPjcbtkqnnHbxSBxB0eeCua2XAXyUziX_JHnw3Hrw&dib_tag=se&keywords=stop+in+the+name+of+God&qid=1769396997&sprefix=stop+in+the+name+of+go%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-1]

084. The Story of Little-Faith

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan   After a crazy three months, we’re back and excited to pick up where we left off in Pilgrim’s Progress and see this classic through!

083. Instruction from the Shepherds

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan   The tired pilgrims reach the Delectable Mountains where they encounter four shepherds, Knowledge, Experience, Watchful, and Sincere, who resemble faithful pastors imparting wisdom to their flocks. During their time with these four shepherds, Christian and Hopeful are instructed and given timely cautions for the rest of their journey.   Next week we will discuss pages 166-176 to “The Flatterer’s Net” of Pilgrim’s Progress.     Order the next book we will be discussing on the podcast: Stop, In the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath will Transform Your Life by Charlie Kirk   Thriftbooks: Click Here [https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/stop-in-the-name-of-god-why-honoring-the-sabbath-will-transform-your-life_charlie-kirk/56715449/?resultid=f4094003-3d19-4601-b8e1-142decd92ab7#edition=74183631&idiq=86422770]   Amazon: Click Here [https://www.amazon.com/Stop-Name-God-Honoring-Transform/dp/B0FPPV48PB/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1XSRNOYI7KPCC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.v-ItIXbXzR2RUdbaRoFPfe7ydfNP9gOPnLOSLEvTeXKMoiqMedQGwh8WVNJaXylWJKnAd0IE6azJc0DUYcwK4VRdDomPWWWLdT4NErJsg2wCKoboEfwBAREmnNsWzKzHe5QUGS0dRAquUFuPz_znTp5XynImyjHrKe1dZVzPfD1_dIbdtmE3qQ_uUu7FDhCuDrFMfvs5mVjlJjr46srmXCmN4zzTViLDAQFgy8czU74.KGBPjcbtkqnnHbxSBxB0eeCua2XAXyUziX_JHnw3Hrw&dib_tag=se&keywords=stop+in+the+name+of+God&qid=1769396997&sprefix=stop+in+the+name+of+go%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-1]   We will start this book in April.

082. Giant Despair and Doubting Castle

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan   Shortly after their time of reprieve at the River of God, Christian and Hopeful go astray into the By-Path Meadow and are caught by Giant Despair. We get to preview the effects sin has in the life of a believer as the two pilgrims are brutally beaten by Giant Despair and trapped in Doubting Castle. Next week we will see how they escape.   Next week we will discuss pages 156-166 to “Turn-Away’s Destruction” of Pilgrim’s Progress.     Order the next book we will be discussing on the podcast: Stop, In the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath will Transform Your Life by Charlie Kirk   Thriftbooks: Click Here [https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/stop-in-the-name-of-god-why-honoring-the-sabbath-will-transform-your-life_charlie-kirk/56715449/?resultid=f4094003-3d19-4601-b8e1-142decd92ab7#edition=74183631&idiq=86422770]   Amazon: Click Here [https://www.amazon.com/Stop-Name-God-Honoring-Transform/dp/B0FPPV48PB/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1XSRNOYI7KPCC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.v-ItIXbXzR2RUdbaRoFPfe7ydfNP9gOPnLOSLEvTeXKMoiqMedQGwh8WVNJaXylWJKnAd0IE6azJc0DUYcwK4VRdDomPWWWLdT4NErJsg2wCKoboEfwBAREmnNsWzKzHe5QUGS0dRAquUFuPz_znTp5XynImyjHrKe1dZVzPfD1_dIbdtmE3qQ_uUu7FDhCuDrFMfvs5mVjlJjr46srmXCmN4zzTViLDAQFgy8czU74.KGBPjcbtkqnnHbxSBxB0eeCua2XAXyUziX_JHnw3Hrw&dib_tag=se&keywords=stop+in+the+name+of+God&qid=1769396997&sprefix=stop+in+the+name+of+go%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-1]   We will start this book in April.
