Welcome back to the Coffee and Bible Time podcast.

For those that may be listening for the first time, our podcast is an offshoot from our main platform YouTube.

Our channel is called Coffee and Bible Time where our goal is to help people delight in God's Word and thrive in Christian living.

We also have a website in storefront with Bible studies, prayer journals, courses, and more.

And I'm so excited to tell you about our brand new, in-depth Bible Study Academy.

Have you always wished that you knew how to study your Bible in-depthly for yourself,

but you just don't have time to go to Bible College?

Well, join us this year as we adventure through 12 different courses designed to give you the

background and the tools to study

the Bible for yourselves. You can find out more information about the Academy on our website

at coffee and Bible time.com. I'm Mentor Mama and today we are going to be talking about the

seasons in the Christian life where we struggle to believe that

God is truly faithful. You know, we know that the Bible teaches us that God is always faithful

and you can read all throughout the Bible and look back through history at the affirmations. But what if it

doesn't look that way to you? Well, you're probably not alone. And we're so thankful that the Bible

is full of examples of God's children struggling. And we see the results of those struggles and God's faithfulness over time.

Our guest today, John Bloom, author of the devotional book, True to His Word, 100 Meditations

on the Faithfulness of God, is here to discuss how to grow in your ability to recognize God's

faithfulness even in moments of doubt. John Bloom serves as co-founder and teacher at Desiring

God. He has authored and contributed to numerous books as well as hundreds of articles, all of which

can be accessed at desiring god.org. John and his wife Pam have five children and three grandchildren

and make their home in the Twin Cities. Please welcome John. It's great to be here. Thank you. John, yes, thank you so much.
