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
Σάρων, the Greek form of Hebrew Sharon, represents more than just a geographical location. In Acts 9:35, it appears in the context of widespread conversion following Peter's miracle at Lydda. Historically known for its beauty and fertility, in Scripture it becomes a symbol of spiritual fruitfulness. The early church saw in the mass conversion of this region a fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecies about Sharon's restoration. Today, it reminds us how the gospel transforms entire communities and regions.
