Heavenly Sustenance (Exodus 16: 1-36)

Send us a textWelcome to the "Heavenly Sustenance" Episode!Introduction:Welcome,  friends, to another episode of the Bible Project Podcast. We extend our gratitude to all our patrons who continue to support us. Your generosity enables us to produce enriching content centered around Christian teachings and writings. Today, we delve into an extraordinary biblical account found in Exodus chapter 16:1-36. Join us as we explore the miraculous events surrounding the provision of heavenly food for the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness. Prepare to be captivated by this fascinating story that challenges our faith and reveals profound truths.Episode Notes:In this episode, we examine the passage from Exodus 16:1-36, which recounts the Israelites' journey from Elim to the Wilderness of Sin. As the congregation complains about their lack of food, we witness a recurring pattern of discontent and blame throughout their exodus from Egypt.While the Israelites had already witnessed God's miraculous acts, including the parting of the Red Sea, they fail to trust in His provision and instead complain against Moses and Aaron. This tendency to grumble and seek someone to blame is a reflection of our human nature and serves as a timeless reminder of our own tendencies to complain when faced with adversity.Todays episode takes us through the subsequent phases of the story. Firstly, God responds to their complaints by revealing His plan to rain bread from heaven. This divine sustenance serves both as a test of their obedience and as an opportunity for them to recognize their complaints as directed against the Lord rather than Moses and Aaron. Moses reassures the people that they will witness the glory of the Lord, indicating a profound encounter with the divine. As the plan unfolds, the Israelites awaken to find a mysterious substance covering the ground. Unfamiliar with this "bread from heaven," they question its origin, prompting Moses to enlighten them about its significance as a provision from God.The instructions for gathering the heavenly bread emphasize the importance of collecting just enough for each day. The miraculous nature of this sustenance is highlighted by the fact that it remains fresh and nourishing, with no surplus or scarcity. God's intention is clear: to teach the Israelites to trust in His daily provision rather than hoarding for themselves.As the story progresses, we witness God's compassion and mercy. On the sixth day, the Israelites gather twice as much bread, preparing for the Sabbath rest. Moses relays God's instruction to bake and boil what they need for that day and preserve the remainder until morning. Through these guidelines, God reveals His desire for His people to honour and observe the holy Sabbath.Join us in this episode as we explore the profound lessons contained within this captivating biblical narrative. Reflect on the Israelites' journey, their complaints, and the divine sustenance that both tests their faith and reveals God's unwavering love and provision.Thank you for joining us, and we look forward to sharing this transfSupport the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

The Song of Moses and Miriam (Exodus 15: 1-27)

Send us a textTitle: The Song of Moses and Miriam: Introduction: (Exodus 15: 1-19)After every spiritual victory, there is often a challenging situation. Exodus 15 follows the monumental event of the Exodus from Egypt, which is considered a mountain peak in the Old Testament and Judaism. The song is divided into three stanzas..The First Stanza.The first stanza (verses 1-6) focuses on praising the Lord for His triumph and deliverance.  The name of the Lord is emphasized, highlighting His known identity compared to ancient pagan religions.The Second stanza.The second stanza (verses 7-11) emphasizes the destruction of the Egyptians in the Red Sea and praises the Lord's power and holiness.The Third stanza.The third stanza (verses 12-19) anticipates future challenges, expressing confidence in the Lord's ability to conquer them.  The conclusion affirms the Lord's eternal reign and recounts the drowning of Pharaoh's army.The Dance (Exodus 15:20-21):Miriam, the prophetess and sister of Aaron, leads the women in a joyful dance after the song. This marks the first mention of a woman as a prophet in the Bible, challenging the notion of women as second-class citizens. The dance celebrates the Lord's triumph and victory over Pharaoh's army.Bitter Waters Made Sweet (Exodus 15:22-25):After the song and dance, Moses leads the Israelites into the Wilderness of Shur. After three days without water, they arrive at Marah, but the water there is bitter and undrinkable. The people complain, but Moses cries out to the Lord for help. The Lord shows Moses a tree that, when cast into the water, makes it sweet and drinkable.Conclusion:The episode highlights the power of praise and worship, the inclusion of women in leadership roles, and the provision of God in challenging situations.  The song and dance serve as expressions of gratitude and faith in the Lord's deliverance. The transformation of bitter water into sweet water demonstrates God's ability to provide solutions to difficult circumstances.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

Exodus – The Clue is in the Name. (Exodus 14: 1-31)

Send us a text "Exodus – The Clue is in the Name"Introduction:Welcome to our podcast episode which today covers  the dramatic event of the Exodus, described as one of the greatest miracles in history. In this episode, we explore the early stages of the Exodus story, from the departure of the children of Israel from Egypt to their encounter with the Egyptian army at the Red Sea. I attempt to answer questions regarding the authenticity of these events, as well as look at the initial reactions of the children of Israel, and the lessons we can learn from this account.The Camp by the Red Sea:We begin our exploration where the children of Israel are instructed by the Lord to camp by the Red Sea. Pharaoh, upon seeing their location, assumes they are trapped. The text mentions the hardening of Pharaoh's heart, emphasizing that Pharaoh had already hardened his heart prior to this. Additionally, it tells us that the Lord intended to gain honour over Pharaoh and his army.The Chase and the Fear:Pharaoh's pursuit of the children of Israel is described, with a formidable army of six hundred choice chariots. The children of Israel, trapped between Pharaoh's army and the sea, experience fear and begin to complain. They blame Moses for their predicament, questioning why they left Egypt to face certain death in the wilderness. Their complaints reveal a lack of belief in the Lord's promises and previous demonstrations of power.Moses' Response and the Miracle:Moses encourages the people to stand still and witness the salvation of the Lord. He contrasts their fear and complaints with his unwavering faith. The Lord instructs Moses to lead the people forward and stretch out his hand over the sea. The Angel of God,  who I believe to be a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ, guides and protects the children of Israel. A cloud separates the Egyptian army from the Israelites, providing light for the latter and darkness for the former. The Lord sends a strong east wind, dividing the waters and creating a dry path for the children of Israel to cross.The Crossing and the Miracle's Purpose:The Israelites courageously walk across the dry seabed, a miraculous event made possible by the Lord's intervention. Meanwhile, the pursuing Egyptian army enters the divided sea. In the morning watch, the Lord troubles the Egyptian army, and chaos ensues. The Lord's purpose throughout these events is emphasized once again: to demonstrate His power and make the Egyptians acknowledge Him as the Lord.Conclusion:As we reflect on this portion of the Exodus story, it becomes clear that it is more than just a historical account. It carries significant lessons for us today. The children of Israel's initial fear and complaints serve as a reminder of the dangers of unbelief and the need to trust in the Lord's promises. Moses' unwavering faith and the miraculous crossing of the Red Sea highlight the power of God to deliver us from seemingly impossible situations.I hope you are blessed by todays episode and that you join us in future episodes as we delve further into the book of ExoSupport the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

How God Cares For His Children (Exodus 13: 17-22)

Send us a textIn this podcast episode, I discusses the concept of God as a father and his care for his children, drawing parallels between human parents and God's relationship with believers. The focus is on the passage from Exodus 13:17-22, where the newly liberated nation of Israel is led by God through the wilderness.The episode begins by highlighting God's role as a father, both to Jesus Christ and to those who believe in him. Israel is referred to as God's son, and the question of when Israel was "born" is explored, with the answer commonly agreed at the point of their deliverance from Egypt in Exodus. Emphasizes that this passage is not only about Israel but also holds lessons for believers today.  God instructs the Israelites to avoid the land of the Philistines, despite it being the nearest route, to prevent them from encountering war and potentially wanting to return to Egypt. This decision by God is seen as an act of care and protection for the new-born nation.I suggest that God's care for new believers is similar, as we are protected and guided in their early stages of faith. The passage in Exodus serves as an example of how God protects and guides his children. We  highlights the journey of the Israelites through the wilderness of the Red Sea and the importance of the cloud and pillar of fire as guidance and protection,  emphasising the symbolism of the cloud, representing God's presence and his continuous guidance of the Israelites throughout their journey to the Promised Land. Drawing a parallel to believers today, i believe this text shows that God still protects and guides Christians. The presence of the Holy Spirit in believers is seen as a form of protection, mirroring the cloud's role in the Old Testament.I concludes by referencing 1 Corinthians 10, where the Apostle Paul uses the example of the Israelites' journey and their relationship with the cloud as a type or illustration for believers. The passage highlights the importance of learning from the Israelites' mistakes and admonishes believers not to follow in their footsteps.In summary, this podcast episode explores the theme of God's care for his children using the passage from Exodus 13:17-22 as a case study. It emphasizes God's role as a father, his protection and guidance of new believers, and draws lessons for believers today from the experiences of the Israelites in the wilderness. I hope you find it helpful and encouraging.My latest Book, "A Beginners Guide to Preaching",  is now available.For further information on this or other of my books visit: My Amazon Author Pageamazon.com/author/jeremymccandlessPodcast Home.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHelp me to continue to make and share great Biblical content everyday and download a free PDF version of this Book at | PatreonSupport the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

Gods Continual Reminders (Exodus 13: 1-16)

Send us a textEpisode Notes: "God's Continual Reminders" (Exodus 13:1-16)Introduction:Humans are prone to forgetting things, both mundane and spiritual. Yet the Lord provides reminders in Scripture to help us remember spiritual truths.Consecration of the Firstborn (Exodus 13:1-2):The firstborn is to be consecrated, separated for the Lord's purpose, but only the firstborn males of animals belong to the Lord.  The Passover establishes the principle of God's ownership over the firstborn.Feast of Unleavened Bread and Passover (Exodus 13:3-10):The people are instructed to remember the day of their deliverance from Egypt. The feast symbolizes the removal of sin from their lives and God wants them to remember the salvation and the banishment of sin.Remembering the Day and the Promised Land (Exodus 13:11-16):God wants them to remember the day they were saved and delivered from slavery. The promised land is described as flowing with milk and honey, signifying abundance. They should not forget their past hardships when they enjoy the blessings of the land.Significance of the Feast and Firstborn (Exodus 13:11-16):The feast and the firstborn are connected in the minds of the people.  The firstborn male child is designated to be a priest, and the firstborn animals are set apart for sacrifice. The people are instructed to keep these ordinances as a memorial from year to year. The true significance is to remember and let God's words affect their thoughts and actions.Conclusion:God provides reminders to help us remember His salvation and deliverance. The feasts and rituals are meant to keep the memory alive, but the true essence is to internalize and apply God's truths in our lives.Podcast Home.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHelp me to continue to make and share great Biblical content everyday and download a free PDF version of this Book at | PatreonSupport the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

The Most Important Thing to Remember (Exodus 12: 29-50)

Send us a text"The Most Important Thing to Remember" (Exodus 12:29-50)In this episode, we reflects on the importance of remembering certain things in life and draws parallels between those things and the importance of remembering God's instructions to His people throughout the Bible.We examine that through the continuing Old Testament story of the Passover from Exodus Chapter 12, focusing on verses 29-30, which describe the plague of the death of the firstborn in Egypt. Drawing parallels between the Old Testament Passover and Christian salvation, emphasizing the importance of faith in God's promises and the death of Christ. and  how individuals in the Old Testament were saved, emphasizing that salvation has always been by faith and the basis of salvation is the death of Christ.The object of faith in the Old Testament centered around the promise of God's deliverance, while in the New Testament, it focuses on Jesus and His sacrifice and we conclude by affirming that salvation in all ages is obtained through faith and the requirement for sacrifice, and the content of faith is rooted in God's promises.Podcast Home.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHelp me to continue to make and share great Biblical content everyday and download a free PDF version of this Book at | PatreonSupport the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

Passover - A Template for Spiritual Life (Exodus 12: 1-28)

Send us a textEpisode Notes: Passover - A Template for Spiritual Life (Exodus 12: 1-28)Introduction:The Bible is full of object lessons and visual representations of important concepts in life.Exodus Chapter 12 presents two snapshots of our spiritual life, providing a simple, vivid picture of the biblical narrative.First Snapshot - The Passover Feast:The Passover feast is a well-known event in the Bible, but there are important details that need to be explained.The month of Passover signifies the beginning of the Israelites' new year and is a communal affair, not just an individual or family ceremony.Significance of the Passover Feast:The Passover feast holds great importance in the lives of the Israelites, symbolizing their liberation from Egypt.It goes beyond being a mere ritualistic meal and serves as a commemoration of their bitter experience and swift deliverance.The blood of the lamb serves as a sign of salvation and faith in God's promise of deliverance.Connection to Jesus Christ:Jesus is revealed as the ultimate fulfillment of the Passover, referred to as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.The Passover lamb and its significance point to Jesus Christ's sacrificial death.Just as the blood of the Passover lamb on the doorposts signified deliverance, Jesus' blood signified His sacrificial death for humanity.Jesus' death satisfied God's justice, and through faith in Him, believers are saved from judgment.Doctrine of Propitiation:The doctrine of propitiation is a significant concept in the New Testament.Propitiation means that God is satisfied, and in the case of Jesus' death, His sacrifice satisfied God's justice for sin.The Passover feast provides a snapshot of this doctrine, where the blood of the lamb signifies satisfaction and salvation.Second Snapshot: Feast of Unleavened Bread:The Feast of Unleavened Bread follows the Passover feast immediately.The removal of leaven symbolizes the removal of sin from their lives.The Feast of Unleavened Bread is observed throughout generations as an everlasting ordinance.Conclusion:The Passover feast and the Feast of Unleavened Bread serve as powerful visual representations of spiritual truths.Jesus Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of the Passover, and understanding these feasts enhances our comprehension of His sacrificial death and the salvation offered through Him.The Passover feast and the doctrine of propitiation emphasize that through Jesus' death, believers are saved and can receive the gift of eternal lifePodcast Home.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHelp me to continue to make and share great Biblical content everyday and download a free PDF version of this Book at | PatreonSupport the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

Moses Before Pharoah - Part 4 - The Plague on the Firstborn (Exodus 11: 1-11)

Send us a textPodcast Home.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHelp me to continue to make and share great Biblical content everyday and download a free PDF version of this Book at | PatreonMoses Before Pharoah - Part 4 - The Plague on the Firstborn (Exodus 11 1-11)In this episode, we delve into the story of Moses and Pharaoh as they face the culmination of their epic struggle. After nine failed attempts to convince Pharaoh to release the children of Israel from Egypt, Moses finds himself at a crossroads. What do you do when someone repeatedly rejects the message you're delivering? Exodus Chapter 11 holds the answer.The episode begins by exploring the first three verses of Exodus 11, which serve as a brief interlude in the narrative. God instructs Moses to gather silver and gold from the Egyptians, preparing for what is to come. These precious materials will later play a significant role in the construction of the Tabernacle, a dwelling place for God among the Israelites.Moving forward, the focus shifts to the tenth and final plague: the death of the firstborn. This plague not only targets the firstborn of the Egyptians but includes the firstborn of the Israelites as well. The episode contemplates the reasoning behind this severe judgment, suggesting that it serves as a demonstration of God's sovereignty over the Egyptian gods. By attacking the gods associated with procreation and fertility, including Pharaoh himself, Yahweh asserts His superiority.Furthermore, the tenth plague is viewed as a judgment against the Egyptians, showcasing the Israelite belief that the first share of all produce belongs to God. The episode explains that this concept was prevalent among both the Hebrews and the pagan cultures of the ancient world.As the devastating plague unfolds, causing immense grief and outcry throughout Egypt, the children of Israel are set apart and spared from the tragedy. The episode foreshadows the forthcoming Passover, which will provide a means of escape and protection for the Israelites.Amidst the intense emotions and escalating tensions, Moses confronts Pharaoh once more. Verse eight reveals Moses' great anger as he departs from Pharaoh's presence. The passage pulsates with raw emotion, capturing the weight and gravity of the situation.Drawing from the insights of Dr. Larry Crabb's book "Effective Biblical Counseling," the episode briefly touches on the relationship between psychology and a biblical worldview. Crabb's notion of "spoiling the Egyptians" is introduced, suggesting that believers can glean valuable insights from psychology while filtering out elements that contradict Scripture. This perspective aligns with the biblical account of the Israelites taking the useful materials from Egypt while leaving behind the spiritually and occultly charged aspects.The episode concludes by setting the stage for future episodes, promising to explore the remaining chapters of Exodus and the intricate details of God's deliverance and guidance for the Israelites.

Moses Before Pharoah - Part 3 (Exodus 9:13 - 10:29)

Send us a textPodcast Home.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHelp me to continue to make and share great Biblical content everyday and download a free PDF version of this Book at | PatreonMoses Before Pharoah - Part 3 (Exodus 9:13 - 10: 29)In this episode, we continue exploring the story of Moses and his encounters with Pharaoh. The focus is on reaching stubborn and hard-hearted unbelievers for Christ, using the example of Pharaoh as a case study.The episode starts with Moses wondering what more he can do to reach Pharaoh, who repeatedly refuses to obey the Lord's commands. This sets the stage for understanding the dynamics of reaching stubborn unbelievers.The seventh plague is prophesied: a destructive hailstorm that will affect both humans and animals. This plague serves as a judgment against the Egyptian gods, showcasing the power of the Lord over all other gods. Pharaoh's officials who feared the word of the Lord hurriedly brought their slaves and livestock inside, while those who ignored the warning left them in the field. The hailstorm comes as predicted, causing devastation across Egypt, except for the land of Goshen where the Israelites reside. This stark contrast should have made an impact on the people, but Pharaoh remains unaffected. Pharaoh confesses, admitting that he and his people have sinned. However, this confession appears to be superficial, as he still does not fear the Lord God. Seven other individuals in the Bible have made similar confessions, but genuine repentance requires more than just uttering the words. Moses prays for the hail to stop, and it does. But Pharaoh's heart remains hardened, and he refuses to let the Israelites go, as the Lord had predicted through Moses.The eighth plague is announced: swarms of locusts that will devour everything left after the hailstorm. This serves as another opportunity for Pharaoh to humble himself and release the Israelites. Moses and Aaron confront Pharaoh once again, urging him to let the people go. Pharaoh's servants also recognize the destructive consequences of his actions and advise him to release the Israelites. Pharaoh initially agrees to let only the men go, but Moses insists that they will go with their entire community, including the young and old, and their livestock. Pharaoh warns Moses of impending evil, but Moses and Aaron are driven out from his presence.These plagues serve as signs to demonstrate the power of the Lord and to make His name known among both Egyptians and Israelites. The purpose is to bring about humility and obedience.The episode ends with the anticipation of the ninth plague and the continuation of the confrontations between Moses, Aaron, and Pharaoh.ScripturesThe Sixth Plague: Boils8 So the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Take for yourselves handfuls of ashes from a furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward the heavens in the sight of Pharaoh. 9 And it will become fine dust in all the land of Egypt, and it will cause boils that break out in sorSupport the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

(Exodus 8:20-9:12)The Fourth Plague: Flies 20 And the Lord said to Moses, “Rise early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh as he comes out to the water. Then say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Let My people go, that they may serve Me. 21 Or else, if you will not let My people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you and your servants, on your people and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they stand. 22 And in that day, I will set apart the land of Goshen, in which My people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there, in order that you may know that I am the Lord in the midst of the land. 23 I will make a difference between My people and your people. Tomorrow this sign shall be.” ’  24 And the Lord did so. Thick swarms of flies came into the house of Pharaoh, into his servants’ houses, and into all the land of Egypt. The land was corrupted because of the swarms of flies. 25 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.” 26 And Moses said, “It is not right to do so, for we would be sacrificing the abomination of the Egyptians to the Lord our God. If we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, then will they not stone us?  27 We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God as He will command us.” 28 So Pharaoh said, “I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away. Intercede for me.” 29 Then Moses said, “Indeed I am going out from you, and I will entreat the Lord, that the swarms of flies may depart tomorrow from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. But let Pharaoh not deal deceitfully anymore in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.” 30 So Moses went out from Pharaoh and entreated the Lord. 31 And the Lord did according to the word of Moses; He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. Not one remained. 32 But Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also; neither would he let the people go.  (Exodus 8: 20-32) The Fifth Plague: Livestock Diseased. 1 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and tell him, ‘Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: “Let My people go, that they may serve Me. 2 For if you refuse to let them go, and stilSupport the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
