SHORT REELS TO ENRICH YOUR SCRIPTURE STUDY
AND HELP WITH YOUR FAITH JOURNEY
Be uplifted with powerful moments based on Come Follow Me's curriculum for individuals, teachers, leaders, and families
+ NEW insights on navigating doubt and finding faith.
![Diving into Come Follow Me and Old Testament— we learn that God and Jesus Christ do not create out of nothing.
They specialize in recreating things, in refashioning, remaking and redeeming.
Heart 💙—if you love Jared ‘s insights…
“For some reason, there's this sense that
the ultimate thing God could do to show
His His omnipotence His all power fulness
is that he could create things out of no things that he could create matter out of nothing.
And yet, I'll put it this way.
Is that the highest evidence of power and
wisdom?
I've got friends that are general contractors, and I think they would all agree that Creation Exnihilo [creating out of nothing] would actually be way easier than organizing and refashioning existent matter.
If you've ever seen those fixer upper programs on TV, it's like, okay, we have this is something that's already there.
I'm trying to work within these confines,
but make something incredible out of something that doesn't look quite so good.
To me, to picture a God who doesn't just wave His magic wand and create something out of nothing, but rather takes existing material and refashions to remake.
We do have a God who specializes in recreating things, in refashioning and remaking and redeeming.”

![Heart 💙—Jared ‘s insights into Come Follow Me [Genesis, and the Creation] all to build faith and AWE in God.
“I'm so grateful that science has
figured out so many how’s –
Like I said last week, I turn to
science when I need method,
but I turn to religion when I
need meaning.
I turn to science when I want to
understand process.
But I turn to religion when I
want to understand purpose.
Science does a great job of
explanation, but religion
does an incredible job with,
AWE.
And it's, awe that I hope we will
feel for God and for God's view of
us, His children, as we study the
creation.”

![Moses overcoming the Adversary is the same way we overcome the adversary... Tap 💙 for Jared's Key Insights
“What does Moses do to come off conqueror and overcome the Adversary?
Notice this first thing that Satan does
is to question Moses's identity
and try to get his focus on Satan instead
of on God.
We first see him [the Adversary]
Question.
…Question your identity.
[But, Moses questions back…]
Let me question yours.
"Lucifer. Who art thou?"
Then he says,
“I'm a son of God.
Why do you call me son of man?
God just told me I'm His son.
In fact, I'm in the similitude of his
Only Begotten.”
There's something powerful about
Moses's MEMORY and HOLDING ON to
the truths that he's learned from God.”

![Nobody loves to ruin your IDENTITY like the Adversary — [Balancing your divinity with your humanity.]
💙 + Share Jared’s message of CAUTION meant for each of us!
“Moses is trying to find this middle
ground of where he balances his
own divinity and humanity.
Now, the closer we get to that kind
of balance, the more concerned the
adversary becomes, because nobody
loves to ruin, to uncouple contraries,
or to push us in one direction or the
other quite like the adversary.
And that for him the beauty of contraries
is he doesn't care which way you go.
He doesn't care if you fall off the
straight and narrow path to the left
or to the right, as long as you FALL OFF.”
Jared

![Jared’s Insights into the “Divine Contrary” —When God is both infinite and intimate.
💙 Share Jared’s message of love.
“On the one hand, you see God's
omnipotence and omniscience,
[power and knowledge] but on the
other you see His omnibenevolence
[all loving].
It's WHY he does what he does.
It's what he does with His power and
knowledge.
On the infinite side, he is the creator
of worlds without number.
We'll see that specifically in Moses
Chapter One.
But on the intimate side, he doesn't
just number the worlds.
He numbers the hairs of your head.
On the one hand, you see, awe,
on the other you see approachability.
Feel reverence, but we can establish
relationship.
There's a justice on the infinite, an
infinite side, and a mercy on the
intimate side, a divinity and
a humanity.”

Drop a 💙 if it feels so great to know…
God’s thinking about you.
>>> Moses 1:39 /
Scripture Study with Jared
What does God do during the day?
He does you.
You are His work and His glory.
Sometimes we wonder if God is
busy running worlds without
number — and He is.
But somehow, in His infinite
ability, He still has time for you.
Your questions.
Your fears.
Your faith.
Your life.
If Moses 1 teaches us anything,
it’s that God’s greatest priority is
His children. [He knew Moses' name, and he knows yours too.]
You matter to Him.
Your story matters.
Your growth matters.
And He is endlessly patient as
He walks beside you through it all.

2. YouTube / Commentaries — “Wonderful commentaries that are out there produced by people like me and my colleagues, produced by people of other faiths, both Jew and Gentile.”
3. Additional Bible Translations — “Blue Letter Bible is a great one.
Bible Hub is probably my favorite.
You can click on parallel translations and you can look at any verse and it shows all of those versions I've listed, from the church website as well as a ton more.”

“Because we're going to make a massive
pivot, and I hope and pray it will be a
massive blessing to everyone.
When I started this, the dream was to do
two kinds of classes.
Come Follow Me, following the church's
weekly schedule, but also topical lessons
on Faith Crisis.”
>>> Moving forward Jared will be reposting his 204 hours worth of Old Testament content he created four years
ago – which will allow him to NOW create an online curriculum on finding faith.
