Undeserved Love

Love Better

A biblical look at a politicized human trauma. A need for love in the darkest corners of society, and the power of love to redeem the least of these. This episode is the third 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.

WEAKNESS: Weaker wives. "unQualified." Weak love. My pewter chess set.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! I started writing this episode planning to describe weakness as being not nearly as awful as you might think. I wound up deciding weakness isn’t a bad thing at all. Not if we see it as God sees it. This week we’ll discuss what makes wives weaker than their husbands (that’s enough to know it’s not a bad thing right there); the weakling God used to build a nation; the weakness deliberately designed by engineers that saves lives every day; and the most easily damaged game I own – and why I’ve kept it for 40 years. Hal Hammons serves as pr

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Our cover image today is a 10 year old boy deciding whether or not to make his bed. He clearly doesn't want to. And yet, it is his responsibility. What factor will be determine what he does next? Sometimes doing the right thing is hard. And when it comes down to just the action... we may not want to do it at all. But there are a couple of really important reasons he should make that bed. These are the same reasons we should do what is right when it is our responsibility to do so. Continuing with that, sometimes we are res

COMFORT: The God of comfort. "Watership Down." "Danny's Song." Upstairs.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! My dad’s funeral is this week. So comfort is on my mind. I’ve gotten a lot over the last few weeks, so I’m here to share some with you. This week we’ll discuss Paul’s counterintuitive and yet foolproof recipe for contentment; my own favorite “warm and fuzzy” book, which in places is anything but warm and fuzzy; perhaps the music industry’s best example of a feel-good song; and the place I go for comfort and the effort I’m willing to expend to get there. Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Chris

Tenacity and Willpower

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Say it with me: Anterior Mid-Cingulate Cortex! Or aMCC for short. Today we take a little look into the brain, to find a very special part that controls the willpower of the rest. If we can learn how it works, and how to make it stronger, well, there isn't any part of your growth in life that won't be affected and helped! But we have to build on the WHY of personal discipline we started with last week. God expects us to take inventory and responsibility for, every part of the life He has given each of us: body, mind, heart
