My Exciting Announcement

Here is my exciting announcement: I am launching a podcast soon!

I plan to launch it in mid-September, so stay tuned!

A podcast is something I have wanted to do for a very long time. I used to have a podcast when I was a pastor, and lots of people really enjoyed it, but I pretty much ignored it for the past 10 years or so, and it is now time to relaunch it.

More details will be coming out soon, so get your iPods ready!

How you Can Review my Podcast on iTunes

How you Can Review my Podcast on iTunes

review podcast on iTunes

If you aren’t already subscribing to podcasts (regularly scheduled audio recordings) via iTunes, now’s the perfect opportunity to get started. The beauty of using iTunes (and the Podcast app for iOS) is that by subscribing, each time there’s a new episode from your favorite podcaster, you’ll automatically get it!

Since most podcasts are free, there are two ways you can support your favorite podcasters.

First, tell others about the show through email, Facebook, Twitter, or as you simply interact with friends.

Second, you can leave a rating and review on iTunes.

These reviews are seen by other people and may help them decide whether or not to give a podcast a shot. They’re also considered by iTunes and help a show’s ratings, so your review of the One Verse Podcast will mean a great deal to me!

If you’ve never left a review on iTunes before, there’s just a few steps to walk through, so let’s get started!

How To Write an iTunes Review

First, head on over to my Podcast channel here: One Verse Podcast on iTunes

This is what my iTunes Preview looks like:

1 One Verse Podcast Verse by Verse Bible Teaching by Jeremy Myers on iTunes

Look for the blue “View in iTunes”button in the left sidebar and click on that to open iTunes on your computer.

That will open the One Verse podcast channel within iTunes.

(Note: If you are on a PC and you haven’t installed iTunes yet, you’ll be prompted to install it which is quick and easy. Next you’ll need an AppleID and this is also very quick to get started)

Second, you will want to subscribe to the Podcast (if you have not done so already).

 Subscribe to Podcast

Thanks for subscribing!

Finally, click on Ratings and Reviews. This will reveal all of the current ratings and reviews that our fans have so generously left, and provide you with an opportunity to do the same.

rate the podcast on iTunes

Above the existing reviews you’ll see a series of stars where you can rate the show from 1 to 5 stars, with 5 stars being the best — “It’s great!”

Since you’re logged into your personal iTunes account, Apple will know that rating is from you.

After leaving a rating, click on the Write A Review button. This will bring up a brief pop-up window in which you can type a title and text of your review. If you haven’t already chosen a star rating, you can do so here as well.

Write in what you want to say about the show and click on Submit. And that’s it! Apple will review the comment for appropriateness, and then publish it within 24 hours generally.

Don’t panic if you don’t see your review immediately, it takes some time.

What to Say in an iTunes Review

I’m not going to tell you what to say in a review about my show, nor am I going to tell you it needs to be a positive review (though those are appreciated!). Constructive criticism is certainly welcome too.

However, if it’s your intention to support my (or someone else’s) show, it might be helpful to review the kinds of things you could say for greatest effect.

First, explain the benefit. What is it that you get out of these shows that’s so great?

Second, mention who you think might be interested. Are these shows for business owners? Parents? Pastors? The average person who wants to learn the Bible? Whomever you think would benefit most, mention them.

Third, if you can, pull in a quote or line from one of your favorite episodes. If the speaker said something once that really impacted you, share that with other readers.

Finally, encourage readers to subscribe to the podcast. That’s the one thing they can do for themselves right at that moment that’s going to help them the most long-term. So remind them!

Note that reviews are limited to 300 words. Also avoid one-word reviews, profanity, comments unrelated to the show, or inserting of links. Reviews with those aspects are likely to not be approved by Apple. Other than approving or disapproving, there is no editing done by Apple on reviews, so also take the time to check your review for appropriate spelling and grammar. Since these reviews are public and associated with your iTunes account name, they reflect as much on you as the show you’re reviewing.

To participate in Ratings & Reviews or Questions & Answers, you must agree to the Apple Community Terms of Use.

So if you haven’t already, please stop by my One Verse Podcast at One Verse Podcast and subscribe and leave me a review, and you’ll have my eternal gratitude. And while you’re there, be sure to catch up on any old episodes you might have missed!

If you have any questions at all about leaving a review or subscribing to the One Verse Podcast please let me know in the comments below.

[#04] Genesis 1:4 – God Divided Light from Darkness

[#04] Genesis 1:4 – God Divided Light from Darkness
https://media.blubrry.com/one_verse/traffic.libsyn.com/redeeminggod/04_Genesis_1_4.mp3

One Verse PodcastDo you live separate from the world? As a follower of Jesus, Scripture instructs you to have nothing to do with deeds of darkness and the ways of this world. But how are you to do that?

Does it mean you should stay away from non-Christian people, and never attend non-Christian parties, and shun all non-Christian activities and places? Some Christians think so.

Of course, the religious mentality which says we must avoid all sinful people and sinful places is nearly impossible to consistently practice, which tells us that this is probably not what God had in mind.

In this episode of the One Verse Podcast, we look at Genesis 1:4 and see how God separated light from darkness on the first day of creation, and from this, draw some tentative conclusions about how you and I can separate from darkness without falling into the trap of religion.

The Text of Genesis 1:4

Genesis 1:4. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.

Genesis 1:4

In this discussion of Genesis 1:4 we look at:

  • What does it mean for God to “see” the light?
  • How God wants us to view this world (contrary to what many religions teach).
  • How God “defeats” darkness, both in creation and in our life.
  • How you can live as a light in the darkness of this world.

[#03] Genesis 1:3 – Let there be Light

[#03] Genesis 1:3 – Let there be Light
https://media.blubrry.com/one_verse/traffic.libsyn.com/redeeminggod/03_Genesis_1_3.mp3

One Verse PodcastGenesis 1:3 is packed full of truth and insight into something very important. This text provides a clear contrast for us.

It contrasts how religion tells us to deal with evil in the world, and how God deals with evil in the world. God’s way leads to light and redemption, but the religious way leads only to more darkness and evil.

So if you want to know what you can do about the evil in the world today, make sure you listen to today’s show on Genesis 1:3.

The text of Genesis 1:3

Genesis 1:3. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.

Genesis 1:3

In this discussion of Genesis 1:3 we look at:

  • How can there be light before God created the sun, moon, and stars? The answer is that this is the wrong question.
  • The light that God spoke into existence in Genesis 1:3 is in response to the darkness that existed in Genesis 1:2.
  • Moses is continuing to make distinctions here between Yahweh and the gods of other Ancient Near East religions.
  • Learn how we can fight against darkness in the world today.

[#02] Genesis 1:2 – Formless and Void

[#02] Genesis 1:2 – Formless and Void
https://media.blubrry.com/one_verse/traffic.libsyn.com/redeeminggod/02_Genesis_1_2.mp3

One Verse PodcastThis episode of the One Verse podcast looks at Genesis 1:2, where we see that although the text contains numerous dark and ominous elements, it ultimately points us to hope that our God is different than the gods of other religions.

The text of Genesis 1:2

Genesis 1:2. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

Main points from Genesis 1:2:

  • Genesis 1:2 begins ominously. We read of chaos, destruction, and darkness.
  • Why does Moses introduce us to God in this way?
  • This episode looks at various theories about Genesis 1:2, and shows once again, that the proper way to read the text is through the eyes of the original audience.
  • When we do this, the darkness and chaos of Genesis 1:2 leads us to renewed hope about the God we serve.
