Devotional Bible Study

For the past several years Hector Miray has been interrupting the flow at Love Thy Nerd Radio with a 3 minute geeky audio devotional.

These bite size moments are perfect for someone looking for some nerdy inspiration and something to be a catalyst for their devotional reading. The small format also helps because Hector has become increasingly long winded in his regular writing.

I had the opportunity to visit Rome several years ago. It is a city steeped in history. One can’t walk but a few steps before encountering some relic of the past. As we would walk down the city streets, some quite ancient, we would notice these black posts on most blocks. They appeared to be quite old and as we approached, we discovered that they were fountains providing fresh water. We refilled our bottles as often as we needed so we could continue on our journey. The book of Romans is much like that. It is an old book, but as you wander through its pages you will find streams of living ...
