YEAR END: My Most Thinky Books of 2023

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Books that make you go “Hmmmm” are my favorite kind of books. Whether I’m challenging my current mode of thinking or simply investigating the other side of the argument, more information is almost always better than less. And if what I read can help me understand who I am and who I am trying to become, even help me get there a bit more efficiently, that’s a good use of my time and money. I shared this list with Heaven Citizens, my Facebook group, earlier this week. Some of it got through; some of it, for technical reasons, did not. Apo

PARTIES: Social drinking. "The Birth of American Politics." Factiousness. Spyfall.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! It’s that time once again. Christmas, New Year’s Eve, the college football playoffs. Fun, food and fellowship in abundance. Truly, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” This week we’ll discuss the parties that get a bit too festive; political parties and whether they are really necessary; the party spirit that dominates far too many churches today; and a game we break out at parties that will leave you wondering where in the world you are. Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Geo

Interview with Kenny: Minimizing Daily Stress

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Merry Christmas! Launch day for this week's episode is December 25th. I pray safety and joy for you and your loved ones. May the Father, Son and Spirit be with you all. About a month ago, Kenny Embry and I had a discussion about stress management. It became an hour long dive into our personal lives and things that have really made a big difference for us. As soon as we were done recording, I started looking for a place to launch this for you. It's certainly less polished and much more raw and personal that the usual weekl

Psalm 100

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

The LORD is mentioned in vs. 1, 2, 3, 5. The emphatic personal pronoun "He" is used twice in vs. 3 to emphasize the LORD. Seven imperatives are used in the first four verses to direct us to the proper attitude and actions toward the LORD. 100:3 Know that the LORD He is God- Deut. 4:35, 39; 7:9; I Kings 18:39. It is He who made us- He is our Creator and we are accountable to Him. We are...sheep of His pasture - He provides for us and sheep- Ps. 23:1 - and carries us- Ps. 28:9. 100:5 He is good, His lovingkindness is everlasting- I Chron. 16:34; II Chron. 5:13; 7:3; 20:21; Ezra 3:11; 106:1; 107:

Adorn Yourself with Modesty How should a Christian dress? After several weeks off, we’re back with a special guest to talk about modest apparel. Ryan’s wife, Adrienne, joins the show to help answer a question submitted to us by a young woman who listens to the show. We take a Closer Look at two key passages and the Bible words used there. Then we get into some practical questions every disciple faces when choosing what to wear. The Big Idea: Our first guiding principle when choosing clothing is to glorify God — just like every other part of our lives. This Week's Challenge: Start a conversatio

YEAR END: My Most Surprising Books of 2023

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! These are the biggest surprises, mostly good ones, that I got in the second half of 2023. Since I’m going back and editing the livestream I shared with my Facebook group, Heaven Citizens, I get to make an important correction. One of the books on the list was not in front of me; in fact, I never actually bought it in the first place. And since I didn’t see it, I skipped over it. So if you actually counted down with me, you may have noticed there were only nine slots mentioned instead of ten. The book I omitted was “Who Moved My Cheese?

S3 E38 - It's My Pleasure

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail After five years of living without, Danville finally has it's very own free standing Chick-Fil-A! We are so excited and have been already like, 5 times lol. During the grand opening, one of the workers was serving us and when we thanked her she said, "My pleasure! I keep forgetting to say that." It's part of their script to respond with that expression, but should it be more for us? Well...as Christians, we are called to be genuine in our love and service to others. To show mercy with cheerfulness. That means that for service to truly be service, it will always be our pleasure

SIGNS: Destroying the temple. "The Day the Sun Stood Still." Merging. Mille Bournes.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Signs are everywhere, from giant words in the sky to the fuzzy green stuff in your refrigerator. God gives you signs, too. Ignore them at your peril. This week we’ll cover the greatest sign Jesus ever performed and why people completely missed it; three authors’ ideas about how dense people can be in the presence of absolute proof; the road signs that bring out either the humility or the selfishness in all of us; and the longest 1,000-mile road trip in the history of gaming. Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods
