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
συμμερίζω embodies the concept of shared participation and mutual distribution, particularly in sacred contexts. As a compound word, it combines the idea of togetherness (συν-) with division or sharing (μερίζω), creating a term that speaks to the sacred practice of participating together in holy things. In the New Testament, it appears specifically in relation to temple service and the provision for those who serve at the altar. The early church saw this word as significant in understanding the proper support of ministry and the mutual sharing of spiritual and material blessings. Today, it continues to inform our understanding of Christian stewardship, ministry support, and the shared participation in God's work.
