Bible Cafe isn't just Bible study — it's a personal, intimate conversation with Him. Think less classroom, more kitchen table. It combines the original Coffee with Jesus experience with activities like quizzes, crosswords, journaling and more, all designed to let the Word shape your heart, not just your head.
Most English Bibles can't carry the full weight of what's in the original Hebrew and Greek. The F.O.G Bible Project exists to change that — three new translations built publicly (a Study Bible, a Reader's Bible, and F.O.G Jr. for younger readers), plus a word-by-word renewal of Strong's Concordance restoring the depths most translations leave behind. It is Jean Paul's lifelong work, unfolding in public — and you're invited in.
Jean Paul Joseph is the lead editor of the F.O.G Bible Project. He works from a personal encounter with Jesus first, then draws on the scholarship of respected Jewish and Christian scholars — because the church was Jewish before it was anything else, and those roots change everything about how you read Scripture.

U- Unveiling the Word
Περιλείπω represents those who remain or survive. As a compound word, it combines the encompassing aspect of περί with the remaining concept of λείπω, creating an image of being preserved completely. In the New Testament, it appears specifically in Paul's teaching about the end times, describing believers who are still alive at Christ's return. The word carries deep theological significance regarding God's preservation of His people and the hope of the resurrection. Early church writers used it to discuss both martyrdom and survival, emphasizing God's sovereign protection. Today, it continues to encourage believers with the assurance that God preserves His people until His purposes are fulfilled.
