HALFTIME REPORT: My Best Books of 2024 (So Far)

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! I’ve completed more than 100 books thus far in 2024 — a bit behind my pace from 2023, but still, not too bad. And yes, some of those books were on the short side. But not all — I’ve read six books this year that were 500 pages or longer. I try to balance my reading between fiction, non-fiction and inspirational books. Fiction is lagging behind in 2024, which no doubt accounts for its poor representation here. And my inspirational reading has been a bit underwhelming. But I’ve been on a tear recently; I read half the books on this list

A Tale of Two Statues: a conversation with Jordan Shouse about sickness

Love Better

One of my goals with this podcast is to introduce an audience I love to people I love. I’d love for you to meet Jordan Shouse. Jordan is a father of four, a preacher in the Dallas Fort-Worth area, and one of the kindest men you will ever meet. He has a heart for people, and an empathetic nature that has only been honed by the journey God has taken him on. Jordan very kindly offered to talk with me on the record about his harrowing health journey and the impact it had on his faith, his family, his preaching, and his connection with others going through their own health trials. I wasn’t sure whe

PASSION: The passionate life. "Backyard Brawl." Passion fruit and Passion Week. FLGs (minus the F).

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! We’ve accidentally stumbled on a bit of a theme this week. Knives are deadly. Poison is deadly. Passion is deadly, too, and I could not be more serious. This week we’ll cover what the Bible says about living a passionate life and why it’s different from the world’s idea; the rivalry that largely defines the state of Texas; what tropical fruit and the cross of Christ have in common; and the attitude of heart that failed to scare me away from board games. Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Chris

S4 E15 - If Anyone Is In Christ, They Are A Potato Rock

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail I took my young intern over to the Forks on Friday to help my uncle Kerry out on his property for just a little while, and in the meantime he got a tour of the land. The tour took us to the creek bed, where we found agate, coral, and my personal favorite - geodes. Geodes look like big potato rocks, but when you crack them open, there is a beutiful treasure on the inside. If anyone is in Christ, they are a potato rock. Outside not much has changed necessarily, but internally Christ has shone his light on our hearts and is transforming us from the inside out. No matter what happ

HALFTIME REPORT: My Thinkiest Books of 2024 (so far)

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Thinking is the whole reason the “What I’ve Been Reading” segment exists on the podcast. In fact, it’s why I read at all. It’s gratifying to read things that confirm what you already were thinking, and that can be a worthwhile exercise. But usually the “thinking” to which I refer in this list is the tougher kind — getting outside my comfort zone and considering other possibilities. Sometimes I change my mind, sometimes I don’t, and sometimes I just think I need to read another book. In any case, reading done right encourages you to thi
