About this listen

Be With Me is a daily 7 minute chronological walk through the New Testament hosted by Michael Smith. It is for everyone who is curious about what Jesus actually said and did in the gospels. Most episodes will leave you with at least one good thought to chew on for the rest of the day. We start with the Bible and hopefully end with Awe. We are walking through the chronological events of Jesus' life and then thoughtfully considering them. It is meant to spur the devotional life of the Christian and the not-yet-Christian. We occasionally venture into the Old Testament when it helps our understanding of the New Testament events. Everybody has 7 minutes. Everybody needs to wonder. Be With Me is hosted by Michael Smith who has absolutely no special qualifications to do a podcast. He is not a pastor. He has not been to seminary. He does not lead a mega-church. He is not a professional and he has no more credentials than you do. He does, however, follow a great God with an observant eye and a curious heart. Each day, he starts with a study bible and aims for astonishment. ‘be with him’ for 7 minutes as he sets out daily to discover the God who invites us to ‘Be With Me.’

  • “Self-righteousness” is NO Righteousness at all! S31e41 Mt5:6

    “Self-righteousness” is NO Righteousness at all! S31e41 Mt5:6
    Apr 30 2026

    It is particularly helpful to think about righteousness as being in right-standing before God. The problem is that every human has spoiled that standing. So how are we going to restore relationship? Well, we'll need a bit of help.

    To do it yourself will not end well because there is no such thing as self-righteousness that is not an offense to God.

    “Self-righteousness” is NO Righteousness at all!

    Share this with the most righteous person you know.

  • What do I get out of this? Specifically meekness Mt5:5 s31e40

    What do I get out of this? Specifically meekness Mt5:5 s31e40
    Apr 29 2026

    An inheritance means resources and riches that were not sourced by you, are made available to you. Though it might be my first day in considering God, it is not God's first day. He has a storehouse ready.

    How do I get it? The road to this inheritance leads through the pesky concept of meekness. Short answer: the Lord LOVES meekness. He is biased toward the bowed-down person.
