UNUSUAL: The Levite and the concubine. "The Bookshop that Floated Away." Bagpipes. Hand-to-Hand Wombat.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Whether you’re talking about the Bible, the bookstore, the music you hear, or the games you play – it can get pretty strange. But sometimes the strange parts are the most interesting parts. Today we’ll discuss perhaps the most disgusting chapter in Israelite history (and that’s saying something); the oddest bookstore in the world and its piece-of-work proprietor; the world’s most maligned musical instrument; and the piles of fecal matter being left on my game table of late (and no, that’s not a euphemism).

Words From the Heart: a conversation with Dr. Kenny Embry

Love Better

This episode is the fourth installment in a ten-part series on learning to love with all our heart, part of a broader goal this year to study the greatest commandments – to love the Lord (and our neighbor) with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. In every account of the gospels, the command to love always begins with the heart… and today I’d like to introduce an audience I love to a friend I love… a friend that is an expert on heart-to-heart communication. I’d like you to meet Kenny Embry. He runs the Balancing the Christian Life podcast, which is absolutely excellent ( https://www.balanc

It's Blue Monday!

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Today, launch day, is "the most depressing day of the year." That being the case, I feel like a wellness check is needed: so how are you doing? Are you weathering January okay? If you are, I want you to see how much you've overcome to feel that way! And if not, there are real reasons for that which affect a lot of people. You are not alone. But we can make a plan, a great plan. We can do such a few specific things and create results this year that have alluded us in years past. Are you up for that? We first have to look a

Episode 197 - "A Wish You Aim For"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Learn from Past Experiences If your past year were a movie, what genre would it be? And what do gratitude and belief have to do with setting goals? This week we look backward and forward with the help of a book fit for a new year, as the Bible Geeks Book Club returns. Michael Hyatt’s Your Best Year Ever, a resource Ryan had used for years, leads us through a process for “catching up” with the past and planning the year ahead. We consider what Jesus and the book of Proverbs teach us about planning. Then we go Flyin’ Through the Book, before slowing down to reflect on what limiting beliefs threa

WEAKNESS: Weaker wives. "unQualified." Weak love. My pewter chess set.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! I started writing this episode planning to describe weakness as being not nearly as awful as you might think. I wound up deciding weakness isn’t a bad thing at all. Not if we see it as God sees it. This week we’ll discuss what makes wives weaker than their husbands (that’s enough to know it’s not a bad thing right there); the weakling God used to build a nation; the weakness deliberately designed by engineers that saves lives every day; and the most easily damaged game I own – and why I’ve kept it for 40 years.

House Rules: Responsibilities and Problems

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Our cover image today is a 10 year old boy deciding whether or not to make his bed. He clearly doesn't want to. And yet, it is his responsibility. What factor will be determine what he does next? Sometimes doing the right thing is hard. And when it comes down to just the action... we may not want to do it at all. But there are a couple of really important reasons he should make that bed. These are the same reasons we should do what is right when it is our responsibility to do so. Continuing with that, sometimes we are res

COMFORT: The God of comfort. "Watership Down." "Danny's Song." Upstairs.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! My dad’s funeral is this week. So comfort is on my mind. I’ve gotten a lot over the last few weeks, so I’m here to share some with you. This week we’ll discuss Paul’s counterintuitive and yet foolproof recipe for contentment; my own favorite “warm and fuzzy” book, which in places is anything but warm and fuzzy; perhaps the music industry’s best example of a feel-good song; and the place I go for comfort and the effort I’m willing to expend to get there. Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Chris
