{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Benchmarking Jesus","slug":"vpv1223","podcastDescription":"

This podcast serves as a practical guide to modeling our lives after Jesus, learning how He responded to a variety of problems and applying these lessons to modern life. A benchmark is defined as a reference point that serves as a standard against which we can measure or judge other things. Metaphorically, Jesus Christ is our standard or reference point by which we can judge practically everything under the sun. His Word, the Bible is our standard we follow in every area of our lives. Are you looking for the best approach in solving life's problems? Look no further! I hope that you enjoy this podcast as much as I enjoy recording it.
