COACHING, part 2: with Kris Emerson and Terry Francis

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! We’re back with the rest of my conversation with Kris Emerson and Terry Francis; if you missed the first part, do yourself a favor and check it out. In this section I bring up the idea of the “authentic swing” from “The Legend of Bagger Vance” (which I consider to be bogus — both the concept and the book), and then ask how true to our individual nature we should try to be. Then I turn to my poor efforts to teach chess to my daughter and use that to discuss how adept we must be to take on a coaching role. Hal Hammons is the preacher for

Jesus’ Prayer - John 17

Jeff · Working with the Word

Jesus spent a lot of time in prayer before going to the cross. While the other gospels record His prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, John focuses on Jesus' prayer after the Last Supper with the apostles. This is Jesus' longest recorded prayer, and it teaches us incredible lessons about His glory, the apostles' work, and His desire for us even today.

Calling All Mentors

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! This is a call to every believer. God has work for you to do. That work will be personal. It is a one-on-one connection with someone in your life who needs help. God is calling us all, as a part of sound doctrine, to become a mentor (and experienced and trusted adviser). Older people, especially, and certainly parents, are called to help and guide, to lead with an honest life and assist others in making their way through in faith.

ARE Bible Study - Speak the Truth

The Daily Answer

The truth may be hard to hear, but we may also find it hard to speak at times. What do we say when we are faced with situations that do not welcome the views of God? How should we answer the college test that clearly opposes the teachings of the Bible? What about that dishonest deal the boss wants you to make to further your career? What about keeping silent when we know our friends and family just don’t want to hear any more about it?

COACHING, part 1: with Kris Emerson and Terry Francis

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! When I decided to put together an episode on coaching, I wanted to get two preachers who knew the topic — from both a sports perspective and a church perspective. I definitely got the right men. Kris Emerson is the preacher for the church of Christ in Lindale, Texas, and the host of the Excel Still More podcast. Terry Francis preaches for the church of Christ in Chelsea, Alabama, and partners with Phillip Martin to host the Do The Work live stream on Facebook. Timothy had Paul. Paul had Barnabas. We all have mentors, and we should all

The Holy Spirit in God’s Plan - John 16

Jeff · Working with the Word

Throughout John 14-16 Jesus tells the apostles the Holy Spirit will come as their helper and counselor. He also tells them to not fear the future, for "I have conquered the world." Why did the apostles need this instruction and comfort? How was it fulfilled in their lives, and how does it relate to us today?

Tell No One

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! I am an oversharer. I talk too much and listen too little. The issue with this is I read the reactions to that sharing and hang too much of my happiness on the response, the likes, the affirmations. There is certainly room in life to tell people things and read their feedback. But I am learning to "tell no one." I am learning that social media has programmed my brain to post and hang my joy on the reactions. But with the help of Captain America, Bradley Cooper, and Joe Burrow, I am learning to keep more to myself. I am le

ARE Bible Q & A

The Daily Answer

ARE Bible Study - Inviting the Young Men Back

The Daily Answer

“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, ACT LIKE MEN, be strong.” Paul the Apostle made this proclamation in 1 Corinthians 16:13. The expression “act like men” is translated as “be brave” in many versions of the Bible. Where are the brave men of our time? As our society seeks to feminize men, many have lost their drive to provide for the home and to keep their families in the way of the Lord. Therefore, many young men have lost their faith, and as a result, the faith of others has suffered. We need strong, courageous men in the home and society, but most importantly, in the church. And we need

OIA Review with Genesis 6-9

Jeff · Working with the Word

After taking a lengthy break, let's review and re-sharpen our Bible study skills as we Observe, Interpret, and Apply Genesis 6-9. We'll work through these chapters one step at a time, working from simple observations about the text to direct application connections that the New Testament makes from Noah's life. The flood narrative teaches us much about sin through humanity's rebellion, about faith through Noah's obedience, and about salvation through God's grace.

S2 E57 - Fantasy Or Real Life?

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail Fantasy football is starting back up, and I couldn't be happier! I love everything football. I can debate it all day long, talk the ins and outs of the game, and even enjoy studying the technical aspects of football from time to time from experts. But here is the catch...I've never played football. Ever. There is a huge difference between knowing about football, and actually playing it. Well...the same thing could be shared about sharing the gospel. We know a lot about evangelism, don't we? We study it, debate it, read about it, and promote it. But what are we actually doing?

In any case, I’m spending this week talking about taking it easy and enjoying the life Jesus blesses us with here on earth, even in troubled times. We’ll discuss why the world is so confused by our peace; the extreme measures we sometimes need to take in its pursuit; the peace that has recently been forced upon me against my will; and the work that often goes into finding it.

Crying "Abba Father"

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Have you ever cried out "Abba Father" in prayer? It is found three times in Scripture. Jesus did it in Mark 14:36. Jesus seems to be doing it through us in Galatians 4:6. And we are all, having been adopted by God, to cry this out to the Lord in Romans 8:15. There is this cool progression from Jesus, to Jesus in us, to us. Credit to Ryan Goodwin for sharing these great thoughts recently. You can find his sermons on our church YouTube channel. But what does it mean? How are we crying "abba" which represents a child-like ad
