What is the life of a pastor like? Who knows!!!
But I know what my life is like. This channel is focused around the honest expressions of life lived by a real life-pastor. One who wants to skip church, smokes too many cigars and never met a beer he didn't like.
This channel reflects my entire life. My hobbies, travels, places I love to enjoy, and conversations about having faith in the 21st century. Thanks for being along for the ride.

Making time for the devotional life
The devotional life matters.
In this video, I want to share the three things that help me figure out what type of devotion I might be able to have in any situation, as well as how I keep the devotional life up when I am traveling and on the road.

I'm in 42 seconds after publishing! And YES it is hard to have a devotional life as a Pastor.
What do you think of the NRSV updated edition?
I would love to hear an update on these topics. Especially 'satisfaction. '
Re: Hitler Joe Rogan just interviewed Norman Ohler about his book "Tripped." It's about the development and use of psychoactive drugs by Nazi Germany. He writes about how Hitler's drug use resulted in poor decision-making, which led to his demise in the war. It was a fascinating conversation!
Finally someone who shares my opinion on the ESV. So many questionable things going on at crossway.
I’m doing this with 3 different colored Book Darts. Gold, Silver and Bronze!
Between you and Matthew Everhard I've come up with a Bible marking and note-taking system that works well for me. Yet, it is always a work in progress. Many thanks, Chad!
This is more a journaling Bible
You apparently want a bible that teaches your personal beliefs rather than one that teaches God's word.
I bought the pencil case you recommended. It’s great! Thank you!
Have you seen the Humble Lamb Sonrise NLT? Last day to get in on the kickstarter.
What you found is the problem with Alan Bibles. They use cheap text blocks and cheap paper and they just put fancy leather on it. I care very much about quality paper and the text because as I’ve gotten older ghosting, makes it very hard for me to read and focus. That’s the only reason I prefer a good quality Bible from say Nelson or humble lamb.
Yeah. I had/have the same text block in a super cheap NLT Thinline. That was one reason I loved the Allan, because I already knew the text block so well. I LOVE my Zondervan premium from their line, and am heavily looking at a Cambridge Pitt Minion for a new smaller carry.
BRO YOU’RE LOSING SO MUCH WEIGHT! Love your videos. Keep it up.
Thanks bud. I'm around 100lbs down from a couple of years back. Hard work, plenty of Jiu Jitsu and a great health team made it happen.
My introduction to in depth Bible study was in the early 2000's when I took several Inductive Bible Study classes in the women's group at church. In the classes, there were weekly videos with Kay Arthur, guiding us through the lesson, then a break (food!), followed by a more casual setting of open discussion. When I first bought the Bible and the printed supplies, I was a bit overwhelmed with the several colors and symbols Ms Arthur used, but after years of study, I have trimmed things down to a personal system that is more compatible for my brain to grasp. I use several colors because they have been the number one tool I have found that calls my attention to the who, what, where when and why of it all. I was always one who underlined and highlighted, though in my pre -structured Bible study classes, I used a ballpoint pen and a yellow highlighter, which bled through terribly. Now there are much better tools (thank you Mr. Pen) as well as Bibles made specifically for marking up. I started using several Composition Notebooks in my late-ish 60's to date (75) and I use them in conjunction with sermon notes. Pastor is right. Start marking up your Bibles! If you're afraid of messing up, go to Walmart and pick up a couple of inexpensive paperback Bibles to use for practice purposes. Just get started somewhere. It's worth it!
Thank you Chad, new subscriber. I’m all over the place and this I pray will help me get in the right place( Organized) 😂📖✝️🙏
Relax. It takes a bit of time to start working through what system might be best for you. It was around a year from the time I started thinking about one to when I know I had my first solid iteration done.
Of the bibles I own my favorite one is my Charles Stanley life Principles NKJB. I carry it to church because the NKJB is what my pastor uses when he preaches Sunday mornings.
Good idea. I need a tiny ruler. I also keep a pencil so I can write questions to come back later and answer & then erase the question if I want.
The pencil is a great tool. I've become a fan of mechanical ones lately.
I use an old credit card. (A gift card or thicker business card works as well.) It's flexible and the right size for outlining columns of text.
Good video. The highlighers with dual tips are Zebra MiLdliner, not Midliner for people looking for them. Also, I find the Sharpie S-Gel .5 are great for commenting and underlining on Bible paper.
Awesome. Thanks for the clarification.
Yes thank you! They are MILDLINERS not MIDliners.
Have you ever tried the Zebra Zebrite highlighters for the brighter neon colors? I like them because they don't bleed through the page.
I'm not wild about neon, but the orange/pink ones are working well for me. Not as wild.
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
You bet
Great info Chad. My system is a lot looser than yours but it is always evolving
Thanks Jon. And good systems are always evolving!
Interesting Thomas Nelson is releasing the RSV in the sovereign collection personal size. On azm ships in a few weeks. I never realized that many people read or are starting to pickup the RSV. Any thoughts on that ??
I dig the RSV. I think many folks who want more higher level English, but don't want to party with the ESV or CEB crowd are finding a lot of affinity with it. It is the first modern, scholastic informed translation (post-Dead Sea Scrolls), and was (at one time) a highly-regarded translation. I'm cruising over to Amazon to look at that very edition now. Call me intrigued.
In Acts 2:47 salvation is a one-time finished salvation, but in the ESV it is a process. It’s not “saved,” but a continual process of “being saved.” In the ESV’s and Hort’s twisted salvation, at what point does someone actually become “saved” and no longer “being saved”? Notice Acts 2:47 in the KJV, "Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved." Then notice Acts 2:47 in the ESV "praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved." Notice the same perversion in 1 Corinthians 1:18, "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." KJV "For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." ESV See also 1 Corinthians 15:2, 2 Corinthians 2:15, Colossians 2:10 And the ESV removes the name of “Jesus” 18 times! And it removes “Jesus Christ” 51 times, and the designation “Christ” 39 times, the “Lord” 66 times, and “God” 38 times. The ESV completely removes the following 17 verses: Matthew 12:47 - Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. Matthew 17:21 - Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. Matthew 18:11 - For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. Matthew 23:14 - Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. Mark 7:16 - If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. Mark 9:44 - Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Mark 9:46 - Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Mark 11:26 - But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. Mark 15:28 - 28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors. Luke 17:36 - Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Luke 22:44 - And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. Luke 23:17 - (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) John 5:4 - For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. Acts 8:37 - And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Acts 15:34 - Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still. Acts 24:7 (note half of Acts 24:6 and 24:8 is also removed) - 7 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands, Acts 28:29 - And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves. Romans 16:24 - The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
I don’t have a church specific Bible, but I am “team analog” and do carry one to church each week. These days I’ve landed in the Cambridge CSB diadem. The print is a little smaller than I’d like, but the over all size is just right. Fits good in my hand and not too heavy in my bag. I take it with me everywhere.
That diadem pressing is a really solid format.
@@revchadbrooks I’m a sucker for the center column cross reference, paragraph format and the thin-line feel. Just feels right.
This year I have been reading through the KJV for the first time, and my daily carry and church Bible is the Cambridge Concord. Such an amazing Bible for reading and studying.
There is a BUNCH of Cambridge love in the comment threads.
I’ve been doing a lot of travelling and have been thinking I want to take a bible to each one then write down the name of the church and date. Love this video popped up to give me some ideas. I have an old Scofield from 1997 that might just be perfect.
I've got a section in the Turkey Buzzard where I notate all of my travels throughout the year. It is always fun to see where the Bible (and I) have spent time across the span of a year.
I grew up where not bringing a physical bible to church was almost a sin, I currently go to a United Methodist church, and no one brings a bible to church, it's something I miss. I always have a bible in my car or bag. But wish more people in the methodist church would carry there bible with them. Just a personal petpea
See, I was going to recommend getting out the ole Brick - You know, the red hardcover NOAB NRSV, and be like, BOOM, Y'ALL ready for this?! I love carrying my pleather Common English Bible when I attend a service as a guest. Though the binding is conking out.
Yeah, those pleather editions fall apart really bad. I almost brought an Oxford NASB, but decided it really wouldn't bring me any pleasure.
@@revchadbrooks I was very fortunate to have gotten the CEB with leathersoft at a brick and mortar Cokesbury store in Atlanta. My Brick is my original from 1999!!
@@joest.eggbenedictus1896 I've got the tan/green Cokesbury Wesley NRSV study Bible. It is a great edition.
So pleased to hear someone promote carrying a physical Bible to Church. Phones and Tablets are a distraction....I've seen so many 'tune out' of worship and teaching to check their texts/emails. Or if 'bored'.... play games. And those are just the adults😢
it's hard to really engage deeply with something (for me) without writing in it and being pretty familiar with it as a physical object. I guess that is why I am such a fan of carrying a real Bible.
I take my interleaved ESV so I can take my notes directly into it. It's huge but I love being able to take notes directly into it.
That's what I call a commitment!!!
Which pen are you using?
It's a custom-turned pen a friend sent me. It has a Pilot G2 refill inside.
You’re not odd carrying a physical Bible. It’s odd to not have one. Using a phone is a bad habit, IMO. The Schuyler PSQ in ESV is my go-to. Pitt Minion is a great size, but the font is too small. Before my PSQ it was a Crossway Thinline.
One of the few downsides of loving & collecting Bibles… lol. Which beloved Bible to take ???😮
It's a real problem.
rebound BSB is what Ive been carrying to church
@@sdhute what’s a BSB? I’m not catching the initials.
@@revchadbrooks Berean standard bible
@@sdhute That's what I was thinking. I still need to get my hands on one of those.
Can you please list the names of books in your library?
@@zainpervaiz331 now that would be a LONG video!
I love carrying a physical bible. I carry a Schuyler PSQ in the CSB translation with me everyday, including going to church.
I keep thinking about getting a Cambridge Pitt Minion for this sort of thing. I'm "off" premium Bibles for the most part, but I know the format so well it might be easy enough to handle.
@@revchadbrooks I wish Cambridge would print more in the NRSV and NRSVUE. I hope that the upcoming popular text edition in the American English edition is also printed by LEGO. $30 is a steal for that, even in hardcover.
NASB...thats my choice
Libs are getting sooo sneaky. Go back to the KJV before the rsv and you will discover everything this guy is saying is not true.
Love the Micron .005. But cheap is good! Think I'll try the Chinkos.
I look for bibles at thrift stores. I don't have a journaling bible but watched a video on how to add blank pages to a bible and will be doing that for now.
