A short, weekday podcast for your morning prayer time. The listener will hear the weekly lectionary text for the Christian Church, a short reflection over the text, and a daily prayer at the beginning of the day. It's perfect for that first cup of coffee or during the morning commute.

    Ivy Insights

    The When I Rise podcast is truly a gift in these challenging times. It has become an essential part of my daily routine, as there is no better way to start the day than by listening to what God has in store for us. Each episode uplifts my spirits and reassures me that no matter how difficult things may be, God has everything under control. Joe, the host of the podcast, has a way of conveying God's message with such clarity and warmth that it feels like a personal conversation with Him.

    One of the best aspects of The When I Rise podcast is its ability to provide deep insight into scripture in a short amount of time. The episodes are just the right length, allowing Joe to delve into the meaning behind each passage while keeping it concise and impactful. I appreciate how he takes the time to explain key concepts, historical context, and even personal experiences that relate to the scripture. It truly enriches my understanding and encourages me to dig deeper into my own faith.

    Another great aspect of this podcast is its ability to create an environment conducive to prayer. After listening to Joe's commentary on scripture, I find myself naturally transitioning into prayer and reflection. His words have a way of setting the tone for a meaningful conversation with God, where I can express my gratitude, concerns, and hopes for the day ahead. This podcast serves as my morning devotional that aligns my heart and mind with God's will.

    While The When I Rise podcast has many outstanding qualities, one potential drawback could be its focus solely on Christianity. As an inclusive review writer who values diversity in spiritual beliefs, it would be beneficial if the podcast explored various perspectives or engaged with listeners from different faith backgrounds. This would allow for a more inclusive experience and foster conversations about spirituality among people from different walks of life.

    In conclusion, The When I Rise podcast is a beacon of light in these trying times. Its ability to provide insightful commentary on scripture, foster a prayerful mindset, and encourage personal reflection makes it an invaluable resource for starting the day with God. Joe's warm and relatable approach to sharing God's message is both comforting and inspiring. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone seeking daily guidance, encouragement, and a deeper connection with their faith.
