This first episode of Word Fuelled Hearts was all about introductions - both of the hosts, Sarah and Felicity, and the book of Habakkuk.

Cup of tea in hand, and biscuit (the one more like a cookie than a scone) at the ready, conversation turns to the purpose of Word Fuelled Hearts, and why we’ve chosen to record our conversations. It is the conviction that God works through His word, by His Spirit, that gives us the reason to open up the Bible. And it is, therefore, the fact that God is at work as we read, discuss and apply His word together. We love doing it in an everyday, easy and accessible way and would love for our conversations to help others feel able to dig into the Bible with others and see God at work.

Habakkuk took centre stage for the rest of the episode as we got our bearings in Bible history, considered the prophet’s context and dwelt on verses that have impacted our hearts so far.

Helpful Resources and Tips

• We love The Bible Project and the way they give brilliant illustrated overviews of different books of the Bible. The Habakkuk one can be found here and is a really good introduction to the structure of the book and it’s context.
• We mentioned that we both use journaling bibles as we dig into a book of the bible. This is like the one that Sarah uses. The one that Felicity uses is here, and here if you’re in the USA. Sadly the NIV one is only available in the UK.
• Felicity talked about using a study bible to help with understanding the context to books, and for other information. She likes this one which is available in the UK and USA.

Tea and Biscuit Chat Footnotes

• Sarah was eating a homemade Christmas biscuit. Do get in touch via email or social media if you’d like the recipe
• Felicity was eating a costco butter biscuit which she was underwhelmed by...looking for a stronger biscuit choice next week!
• Yorkshire Tea was the hot drink of choice to accompany the biscuit and Bible action.

Tea, biscuits and some big questions from Habakkuk today.

It seems that the prophet is witnessing violence, corruption and wickedness all around him. The mention of the ‘law’ being ‘paralysed’ makes it clear that this ‘iniquity’ is not just in the surrounding nations but even amongst God’s people. He sees the righteous being surrounded by the wicked, and he is deeply troubled.

Habakkuk, therefore, asks God:

• Why are you not listening?
• Why are you not saving or doing anything?
• Why do you not see what is going on?

Underneath all of these questions is Habakkuk’s concern that justice is not being done, and is even being perverted. He wants right and good judgement to fall on what he sees before him.

We want to be careful when we draw the lines between this book and us. It was written for a particular audience back then, and we are sitting here right now. But, while being careful, we can begin to see some similarities between our context and Habakkuk’s context. We are this side of the cross, but we are living in a similarly broken world where injustice is on display. We are also speaking to the same God as Habakkuk. As we read Habakkuk’s heartfelt prayer, are our hearts in this place? Are we lamenting like Habakkuk? Do we really pray like this? Big challenges to our hearts as we see and hear Habakkuk’s heart posture.

Helpful Resources and Tips

• We talked about how we begin to get into a bible book, and both of us talked about reading repeatedly and slowly through the whole book. Sarah is big on having colours and highlighters to hand while she reads; Felicity has a simple pencil, and then a piece of paper on which to jot any questions that arise as she’s reading it through. Have a look at our instagram/facebook to see the differences in approach!

Tea and Biscuit Chat Footnotes

• Felicity was drinking Earl Grey tea, Sarah was having a cup of hot water. Felicity’s favourite tea is actually a mixture of Earl Grey and Yorkshire Tea - she calls it Yorkshire Grey.
• Sarah was broaching a small-ish (3cm) chocolate chip cookie, while Felicity was enjoying a petit beurre chocolate-covered biscuit
