Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! I hope everyone else has enjoyed this week at the coffee shop as much as I have; let’s have one last cup before we leave.

Links to their respective work are included in the show notes. Thanks again, fellas, for the talk. I’m stepping away from the table with quite the buzz.

Job 18 Part 2

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

What is the truth and error of Bildad’s words? Bildad says several things about the fate of the wicked that are elsewhere said in the Old Testament about the end of the wicked. 18:5 The light of the wicked goes out. This is stated in Proverbs 13:9; 20:20; 24:20. 18:7 The schemes of the wicked bring him down. This is stated frequently in Scripture in Psalm 7:15-16 and Prov. 26:27. 18:11, 14 Terrors frighten the wicked man. Ps. 73:19 tells us that the wicked are swept away by sudden terrors. 18:13 pictures the skin of the wicked devoured by disease. In Zech. 14:12 the LORD will strike those who

COFFEE, with Mark Roberts and BJ Sipe

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Mark Roberts’s Coffee and the Bible series was a big prompt for this episode. I was excited to sit down with him and BJ Sipe, another avid coffee drinker, to discuss a variety of coffee-adjacent topics. We start with the idea of combining coffee and Bible study. No one says you can’t study the Bible without a cup of coffee. But Mark and BJ clearly think it helps. So I just asked them how that worked. Links to Mark’s books as well as their other efforts in the kingdom can be found in the show notes. Find out more about Sacred Selections

S6 E21 - I'm Hans Christian Andersen!

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail I'm an old soul, and I've passed that on to my children. Recently I introduced them to the movie staring Danny Kaye, Hans Christian Andersen. They loved it. Who doesn't love a good storyteller? The greatest storyteller was that of Jesus - as he taught us through parables. But they were not just to inspire, but to instruct us. We must sit at the foot of the teacher, and learn to teach the same way that he did too. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

BUSINESS: "Bad, bad." "A Shopkeeper's Millennium." Not personal. Furnace.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Jesus wanted to be about His Father’s business as soon as possible. Here’s hoping His attitude will rub off on us. This week we’ll cover the difference between a successful businessperson and a crooked one; the help the business world has offered over the years in the cause of Christ and why we’re better off without it; an expression from the movies that is both true and offensive; and the way to grow a business on your game table that gives you the biggest chance to cash in when the last round is over.
