POVERTY: Jesus and the poor. Hillbilly Elegy. The Great Depression. QE.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Poverty is the rule, not the exception. We have become prosperous enough in modern-day America that “poor” people write Yelp reviews on their smart phones about how expensive their sushi was. Actual poor people do exist, though. They always have and always will. This week we will discuss Jesus’ apparent indifference to poverty; a young man’s trip from hopelessness to Congress; the origin story of Hal Hammons, Famous Tightwad; and how my wife stopped the Federal Reserve from invading our board game table. Hal Hammons is the preacher for

Experiencing Limitless Faith

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! We all want faith without limits. We want faith that isn't affected by fear and doubt. We want to believe the best is possible and the promises of God are inevitable. We want to know Him and be known by Him and for that to control everything else. But how do we get it? One of the problems is believing we can get it. You and I are woefully limited. How exactly are we going to act our way to limitless greatness? We cannot. Our attention must turn toward God. Maybe we need to redefine faith. It is not the good things that we

Episode 166 - "This Isn't a Fairytale"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Fill Your Heart With All the Best Things Well, we’ve come to the end of the What’s Good study, and we hope it’s highlighted some of the many reasons we have to praise and thank our God. He has filled our world and our lives with his excellence. May we notice and appreciate it every day! This week’s conversation focuses on “whatever is pure” (Phil. 4:8). We start with what Jesus Said about the pure in heart (Matt. 5:8) then dive into a classic example of purity, in a segment we call, “Hello, My Name Is … Daniel.” Along the way we talk about how we can practice purity in quiet simplicity, how si

S3 E3 - More Routine Maintenance

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail I am not used to having a hypoallergenic dog. Growing up, I had long haired dogs. They shed a ton, but their hair did not get matted. With this puppy we have now, he's had to get shaved down twice now. I thought that brushing him once or twice a week was good enough, but no. He needs daily maintenance. Well...so many of the good gifts that God gives to us require regular maintenance for us to ensure they stay good. Marriage is good, but a good marriage takes a lot of work. Children are good, but raising them right takes so much work. The church is good, but building deep and s

WALKING: Two roads. "Facing Fear." Bodily exercise. Isle of Skye: Journeyman.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Walking is how we get from here to there. From a baby’s first steps to a bride’s walk down the aisle to the day our six best friends carry us away, walking symbolizes the way we progress through this life and on into the next. This week we will discuss the two paths we have to choose from; how Nik Wallenda conquers fear in a life with no safety net; my own mediocre efforts at exercise and whether I should be concerned; and the Irish pedestrian who threatens to ruin one of our favorite board games.

Prioritizing Quality Time

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! I referenced Pat Geslinger's book, The Juggling Act. Here's a link. It's terrific. If someone told you they were feeling distant from Christ, what would you tell them to do? That's not a particularly tough questions is it? We would tell them they need quality time with Jesus. They need to set aside time to read, to think and to pray. They need to talk about Him and discuss Him well with others. There are no shortcuts, but it also isn't some Mt. Everest event either. It is daily, intentional time invested in building love

Episode 165 - "No One Is Ever Quiet!"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Lower Yourself to Lift Up Others Is it possible to be proud of something … in a good way? And what does it mean to be “a servant of all”? This week we meditate on the praiseworthy virtue of humility. We go Finding Jesus in the Servant Song in Isaiah 42, making sense of the “broken reed” he won’t break and the challenge of wielding power justly. And in a Psalm 34 edition of Poetry in Motion, we consider David’s invitation to “taste and see” the Lord’s goodness for ourselves. As we prepare to conclude the What’s Good guided study next week, remember you can find all the videos and study guides a

Psalm 74 Part 1

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

Why? How long? These questions did not begin to be asked but they have been asked continually throughout history. These question are asked even in God's book. Psalm 74 is one example of this. Psalm 74 is a national lament. Psalms 44, 79, 89, 137 show great similarities. The book of Lamentations contains many such laments. It is hard for us to imagine the grief of the people when the Babylonians invaded their land and killed some with the sword and starved others in a siege. The lost their land, their king, and their temple and many were asking why? 74:1-3 Will Your anger burn forever, O God? 7

Psalm 74 Part 2

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

Have you ever asked why or how long? Writers in the Bible did as well. In this podcast we say a few more words of explanation on 74:12-17. We make some vocabulary connections between Psalm 73 and Psalm 74 "sanctuary" in 73:17; 74:3, 7 "violence" in 73:6; 74:20 "right hand" in 73:23; 74:11 "ruins" in 73:18; 74:3 How does Jesus answer Psalm 73 and Psalm 74? 74:9 the words "signs" and "prophet" 74:10, 18 Jesus reviled and spurned 74:12 My King 74:2 Redeemed These are some ways.
