These are my daily quick listens that are always part of my day. These are the ones I listen to as I brush my teeth or take kids to/from school.

All It Takes is a Goal with Jon Acuff
Along with personal finance, I never thought I’d be a guy that likes a podcast about goal setting, but Jon Acuff makes the process entertaining and inspiring. I’m listening from the beginning of the series so I don’t miss any of the great insights that Jon brings to making those far-off goals a reality by productive action today.
The Bible Recap
I’ve done the whole read through the Bible in a year thing before, sometimes with a little bookmark in my Bible that I’d keep up with until I got to Leviticus, or with a gamified reading plan in the YouVersion app on my phone, but neither method really connected me with the content I was reading, and both practices robbed the reading of Spiritual significance. In contrast, the Bible Recap with Tara-Leigh Cobble has been a great way to go beyond just reading and making a practice of looking for God in the day’s reading and reflecting on the person of God. With its companion workbook with 4-5 questions a day, I’ve found this reading plan/podcast the most constructive in building a faith-building practice of daily Bible reading. I find myself not really thinking of the big task of reading the Bible in a year, rather I concentrate on today’s passing and look to find my “God shot”, that picture of God and His character as expressed in the reading for the day.
The Briefing with Albert Mohler
Doctor Mohler is the President of Southern Seminary and brings a theological and distinctly Baptist perspective on the daily headlines. His daily podcasts looks past the news to the worldview implications being played out in world and national events.
Atlas Obscura
These short episodes are quick journeys to “the world’s strange, incredible, and wonderous places”. I love these quick audio trips around the globe to hear about new places that most people didn’t know existed.
