Fearless Moral Inventory

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! What would you find if you used some personal time excavating the center of your heart, taking a fearless moral inventory, and finding out what drives all you do? This week we look at the power of self-awareness. It is massively valuable. But to be honest, it is much deeper and more needful that I first thought. To me self-awareness was this sense of reading the room, knowing how others see you, and understanding the impact of your conduct. Those are things that grow out of it, but self-awareness is much, more more person

YEAR END: My Most Disappointing Books of 2023

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Back in May, when I listed my best, most disappointing, most surprising and thinkiest books I had read to that point, I had no idea what I was in for. Since that time I have averaged a bit more than one book a day. That translates to, well, a lot of books. And they weren’t all winners. I was able to derive some benefit from everything I read. However, some of my choices did not deliver nearly as much as I had hoped. These are those books. Enjoy. 10. The Map that Changed the World, Simon Winchester. 9. Live to Tell, Brad J. Kellenberg 8

SIZE: David and Goliath. "War and Peace." The Dollar General theory. Rise of Augustus.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Is bigger always better? That depends on what we’re measuring, and how we are defining “big.” (Wait a minute. Am I talking about context again?) This week we’ll cover the real giant who fought in the valley of Elah; the biggest book I have ever read and whether it was worth the exercise carrying it to Florida; the “Dollar General theory” of churches and whether it has any merit; and the most expensive and frustrating air I’ve ever bought, and why I don’t regret it at all.

Psalm 98

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

98:1-3 God's own arm has brought salvation and all the earth witnesses His lovingkindness and faithfulness to Israel. 98:4-6 All the earth is called to praise God When a king came to the throne there was a ceremony with blowing of trumpets and shouting (I Sam. 10:24; I Kings 1:39-40) and clapping of hands (II Kings 11:12). All nature responds this way to God’s kingship. 98:7-9 There are slight differences with Psalm 96:11-13. “Instead of the heavens and earth, this psalm has the world and all who live in it (a phrase found elsewhere only in 24:1, a psalm of temple entry that also celebrates Ya

S3 E37 - Nothing Is Lost If You Know Where It Is

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail We're back after a delay for a few weeks - and that occured with the passing of my grandmother Jackie Sipe, who we called Gigi. Her funeral was beautiful, and I was thankful to get to be a part of it. After the funeral, one of the women from the church told me something special after someone had expressed their sympathy for my loss. She said, "You know...nothing is lost if you know where it is." Well...I do know where she is, and all those in Christ do not grieve as others who have no hope. Jesus has won the victory over death, and through his resurrection we have great hope!
