It's been a month! I've had a few busy weeks and have been recuperating from my kidney ordeal. Back to the podcast! This week I'll share from a song that has meant so much in my recovery due to it being introduced to me by my sister. Th

Hurt and the Healer

This song, by far, was a source of comfort for me. Please listen as I go through the encouragement I received from a song by a band that is known for being encouragers!

10000 Reasons

Sep 14th, 2021 5m

I had chosen this song for this episode, before we had a quest speaker come on Sunday and speak on "Encouragement". Today's episode has a double song feature as the speaker reminded me of a related song which is a lot older and I learned it a

Be Still

Aug 31st, 2021 14m

Moving away from the man born blind story, I'd like to take up with songs, lyrics, poems, and such that spoke to me in my time of need and also currently. Music is a large part of my life - it's not my intent to promote a genre, artist, or ev

Work

Naturally

Jun 8th, 2021 9m 16s

God works in our lives. We're often looking for him in the special or the supernatural. Often He's using the natural. Just as with the blind man's healing, I can see the handiwork of God in the natural.

Not a chance

May 25th, 2021 10m 10s

In the story of the man born blind we see a directed and purposed encounter. I look at me life that way - it's purposed, it's not random.

What Happened?

May 4th, 2021 16m 35s

Taking up from last episode, I want to look at the story and the question that is asked, "Rabbi, who sinned ... that this man would be born blind?" Jesus offers the most stunning of answers. Let's take a look.

Born this way

Apr 20th, 2021 6m 45s

Often people use the phrase 'born this way' to make excuses for a shortcoming. This isn't how I'm using it. Over the next few podcasts I want to look at a guy who was born with a deformity, a disability and he ran headfirst into Jesus. If t

Blessed

Genetics

I waited almost 46 years to find out more about me as a son. Today, I encourage you to take a deep look at who you are from both genetic and environmental perspectives - both naturally and, more importantly, spiritually.

Know Two Point Oh

Feb 9th, 2021 10m 27s

At the end of last week's episode I felt the content was light. So I've decided to continue with a second installment on that word know.

Know

Feb 2nd, 2021 10m 32s

I was reminded by my brother in law, Troy, of the things I know based on what has happened to me. It sparked my interest at looking at that word 'know'. We often use it, but do we stop and appreciate what it is and what we really know. Kno
