The 2 Greatest

What's your favorite number and why? What numbers are significant to you?  What numbers stand out in the Bible and why?  Today, on this 100th episode of the podcast we talk about the importance of noticing numbers.  

We go to great lengths to put our best foot forward, to hide what's really inside.  Yet, sometimes, under stress, the veneer is stripped away and what's really in, comes spilling out.  This episode asks you to take a closer look at what spills out of you, when you get bumped.

Praying is what we all should be doing, what we say we're doing and yet what we're not doing well.  That's okay.  When it comes to prayer, we are all beginners.  In this episode I teach a simple daily prayer that might be a great tool in your discipleship toolbox.  Listen in.

When the way seems hopeless, like there is NO WAY; where do we find hope?  We don't want just happy thoughts or wishful thinking--but true hope.  It comes in knowing GOD WILL MAKE A WAY and in fact he's already done it.  Listen in.  

Unless you're talking about the TV show "American Idol" we don't think about "idols" much.  But should we?  What would an idol be today anyway? How would I know I have one or not?  Listen in!

As we eagerly think, dream, and plan to gather together as the church, we must also remember the purpose of the huddle.  The huddle isn't the game, it's the huddle.  It's wonderful to huddle, but it's also important to learn to break the huddle and run the play.  Listen in.

My parents used to remind me that God gave me 2 ears and 1 mouth FOR A REASON.  The Bible has a LOT to say about speaking and listening and that's a frequent theme on this podcast as well.  In a world of social unrest and pandemic--we need ears to hear, along with hearts and minds that are open.  It's time to listen.

Let's face it, the economy of the world is founded on the belief that we must be DIScontent.  We need more.  Bigger, better, faster, strong is the manta of media.  But God is good and God's people are to be content with His goodness.  The question this episode asks is challenging to 21st Century Christians:  Is God's Good, Good Enough...for you?

God doesn't meet us in outer space; he meets us in a REAL PLACE.  This episode looks at the power of places; places that form us.  Today we talk about the value of revisiting those places, at least in our minds, to lament, rejoice, and thank God for the power of places.

We all HATE to be labeled, but too often find it easy to label others.  In this episode we explore the boxes we often put people in, why we do it, and how to blow them up to be just like Jesus.  We all need this lesson, listen in.
