Ellen and her daughters, Taylor and Ashley, run the ministry Coffee and Bible Time, which started on YouTube to inspire the delight of God’s word and to help people come to know Jesus personally - it now has over 340,000 subscribers. They’ve branched out to become a community of followers that seeks to share stories, spark imagination and be welcoming to new friends. And Ellen, as the mentor mama, hosts the coffee and Bible time podcast. They also write Bible studies and create other resources to help followers as the journey with Jesus. Take a few minutes to meditate on Deuteronomy 8:6-14 and then listen in to hear where God led Ellen.   Some highlights from our conversation: Ellen looks up two of the key words in the passage, obedience and revere, and helps us understand the fuller meaning of these tricky and often misrepresented words. How the Lord used this passage to remind Ellen of some truths she will need as she shares their new YouTube series Biblical Perspectives on Raw Topics The three things Ellen saw in this passage How the Coffee and Bible Time ministry started and what it’s like to work with her daughters.   You can find Ellen and her daughters at https://www.coffeeandbibletime.com/   Where you will find links to their podcast, videos and Bible study resources.

We can trust God to keep them close to his heart and give them wisdom through the busy holiday season when so many events and expectations keep them racing.
