Episode 196 - "The Big Kids"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

See Children Like Jesus Did What does Jesus' work have to do with his desire to "let the little children come" to him (Matt. 19:14)? The Bible Geeks A.V. Club is back to discuss season 1, episode 3 of The Chosen! After a brief recap of the story, we take a Closer Look at the Scriptural background for the episode's plot. We learn from two moments in Mark 9 and 10 when Jesus engaged with children (Mark 9:35-37; 10:13-16) and examine our engagement with kids in light of the Savior's example. There's more to think about on this subject than you may realize! We hope you enjoy reflecting on these dr

Psalm 101

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

This is usually considered a Royal Psalm. In the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England, Psalm 101 is prescribed for use at the anniversary of the monarch’s ascension- Allen, 8; Goldingay, 139 The Psalm describes the kind of person the king longs to be and who he hopes to surround himself with. The people we surround ourselves with influence us for good or evil and the people the king surrounds himself with influence the whole nation. David's high aspirations were not realized in his personal life. His personal failures had a negative impact on the whole nation (II Sam. 11-12; I Kings

STRESS: Don't worry. "Putting an X Through Anxiety." Medication. Jenga.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Maybe we should have done this episode before the holidays. Then again, maybe you have just as much stress now but with more bills to pay. If so, I’m here to help. This week we discuss embracing the simple truth about stress; celebrating a tiny book on a huge subject; considering whether medicine is the problem or the solution (spoiler alert: it’s both); and playing a game that need not create as much stress as perhaps it has. Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas. He

YEAR END: My Most Thinky Books of 2023

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Books that make you go “Hmmmm” are my favorite kind of books. Whether I’m challenging my current mode of thinking or simply investigating the other side of the argument, more information is almost always better than less. And if what I read can help me understand who I am and who I am trying to become, even help me get there a bit more efficiently, that’s a good use of my time and money. I shared this list with Heaven Citizens, my Facebook group, earlier this week. Some of it got through; some of it, for technical reasons, did not. Apo

PARTIES: Social drinking. "The Birth of American Politics." Factiousness. Spyfall.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Truly, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” This week we’ll discuss the parties that get a bit too festive; political parties and whether they are really necessary; the party spirit that dominates far too many churches today; and a game we break out at parties that will leave you wondering where in the world you are.

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

May the Father, Son and Spirit be with you all. About a month ago, Kenny Embry and I had a discussion about stress management. It became an hour long dive into our personal lives and things that have really made a big difference for us. As soon as we were done recording, I started looking for a place to launch this for you. It's certainly less polished and much more raw and personal that the usual weekl
