Love's Walls

Love Better

A trip to the water's edge, the Spartan's greatest rivals, and two walls that changed the course of history. This episode is the seventh installment in a ten-part series on learning to love with all our heart, part of a broader goal this year to study the greatest commandments – to love the Lord (and our neighbor) with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. In every account of the gospels, the command to love always begins with the heart… and today, we are going to look at what happens when our hearts need walls to go up and come down.

MOZART: Prodigies. "Mozart and Constanze." Too many notes. Lacrimosa.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is one of those great ones, like Ludwig von Beethoven, where the last name is all you need to identify him. Like Einstein, or Shakespeare, or Washington. This week we’ll discuss childhood genius and the good and bad things that come with it; Mozart’s less than ideal marriage and its lessons for us; the precise number of notes that a piece of music should include (if there is one – spoiler alert, there isn’t); and a way you can build on the work of Mozart today on your game table. Hal Hammons serves as preacher a

I'm With You

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Welcome to my personal favorite Bob Goff story. And that's saying something. His life has been incredibly interestingly lived. I linked to his books last week. Today I'll add a link to an episode from 2022 that featured his work in Uganda: Be Secretly Incredible. Part of being incredible is loving people. Not just from a distance through prayer. Not just when you agree with them. Not just when they do what you want them to do. But because of who they are - people made by God and in His likeness. And because of who you are

S4 E3 - Seeing Something for the Thousandth Time for the First Time

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail I was driving around Danville with a friend who had never been to my little town before when he said, "Danville: quite simply the nicest town." I asked why he said that, and he pointed to the water tower. Friends, I have driven past this tower a thousand times and never seen that. He noticed it after seeing it once with fresh eyes. That is often how scripture discovery goes. We might have read something a thousand times and still not noticed something, but then someone brings something to our attention that we just have never seen. When you think you've got something down, go

Psalm 104

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

The Psalm, as the one before it, begins and ends with "Bless the LORD, O my soul!" 104:1, 35. The Psalm speaks of God's work in creation and nature. All of this is to motivate us to praise God. The idea of pantheism is that God is to be equated with the forces of nature. This psalm speaks of a God who is transcendent, who is far greater than the world He has made. He is clothed in "splendor and majesty" in 104:1. He is covered in light - 104:2; I Tim. 6:15. He created the moon and the sun- 104:19. The sun and moon are not worthy of worship, but are held in the hand of the God who made them. Th

BEETHOVEN: Deafness. "Beethoven: The Composer as Hero." "Wellington's Victory." Symphony No. 9.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Ludwig von Beethoven is one of two names that come up more than any other when the topic of “history’s greatest composer” is discussed. Herr Mozart gets his day next week, Lord willing. This week we’ll discuss Beethoven’s battle with deafness and how losing it helped him win the war; the heroic nature of his work and how it can help you be a hero today; one of the worst pieces of music Beethoven ever wrote and why I love it so much; and a game I shoehorned into this space because I needed another segment.

Go Be You!

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! God built each of us to align our mind and body. He gave us this beautiful things called a conscience to process His will, and factors of life, to create a consistency between heart and deeds. When we link those up, we are our authentic selves. Your authentic self may not be right, but it's honest. You may grow and change, but you'll be a person of integrity. However, if you have a gap between what you believe and what you do... If you strike a wax person pose in front of people and fail to be who you really are... things
