Where Are Your Two Copper Coins? A Call to All‑In FaithScott invites listeners to reflect on what it means to be fully committed to Jesus. Using the devotion to the Sacred Heart, Mark 12’s widow, and James 2, the episode contrasts pride and public religion with humble, costly obedience.

Also included: a July Bible Courier update about early missions in Cuba and instructions to sign up at atlasbible.org/bci.
