Dr. Robert Smith Jr. unpacks the Emmaus Road narrative from Luke 24, revealing how Jesus transforms disciples from discouragement to passionate witnesses through Scripture engagement.• Moving from "slow hearts" to "burning hearts" happens through deeper Scripture engagement• Jesus is present throughout the entire Bible, not just the New Testament• True learning from Scripture should ignite passion and create yearning to share with others• The purpose of Scripture is not just information but transformation• God often reveals Himself gradually to create an appetite for more• Sometimes Scripture that seems unpalatable at first is still profitable• Understanding comes through struggle – Jesus could have revealed Himself immediately but chose the journey• Our testimony should match Christ's teaching – He appears when we explain what He expounded• We fight from victory, not for victory, because of Christ's resurrectionMost powerfully, Dr. Smith articulates three essential responses to Scripture: learning, burning, and yearning. Knowledge alone isn't enough – Scripture should ignite passion and create an urgent desire to share with others. "Learning and burning are not antithetical," he explains. "The more you learn, the more you ought to burn." When our explanation matches Christ's expounding, Jesus himself appears among us.Ready to move from merely knowing about the Bible to truly experiencing its transformative power? Join us as we treasure God's Word and discover how Scripture can turn our slow hearts into burning hearts.

Pastor and professor Dr. Robert Smith Jr. knows this: that what really matters in life is not the awards or accolades or titles we may have achieved, but it is the fact that our identity rests in Christ—something that will transcend time. He wishes for us to be known by the way we love one another, and shares how we can be a light in the world. Quotes “It's a joy seeing how God orchestrates, choreographs, and demonstrates the diversity of the body of Christ. And yet, it's unity that we're different, diverse, but we're unified in Christ.” - Dr. Robert Smith Jr. “We can be stripped of our credentials. We can lose our jobs. We can have financial reverses and relational rifts. When health breaks down and lives give way to death, I am a child of God. The fact that we are in Christ is an identity that will last throughout eternity.” - Dr. Rober Smith Jr. “That's the most important thing, that we must be able to say, ‘I am a child of God.'” - Dr. Robert Smith Jr. “God chases me with His love. God pursues me. God initiates His work in me. He's always coming after me.” - Dr. Robert Smith Jr. Resources Mentioned in This Episode Monopoly Connect with Sally Lloyd-Jones Jesus Storybook Bible Facebook Jesus Storybook Bible Instagram Sally's website Sally's Facebook Sally's Instagram *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media*
