COMMUNICATION, part 2: with Josh Creel and Dr. Kenny Embry

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! This is the second of three parts of my conversation with Josh Creel and Dr. Kenny Embry. This segment introduces 12 Rules for Life by Dr. Jordan Peterson, a book we will be referencing throughout the month. No, we won’t be covering all 12 rules. But we will touch on several of them. We get the ball rolling this week by talking about the value of listening — especially when the person talking is, in our minds, downright wrong. Hal Hammons is the preacher for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas. He is the host of t

COMMUNICATION: With Josh Creel and Dr. Kenny Embry

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! I’ve brought back Dr. Kenny Embry this week; he’s a professor of communication at St. Leo University. With him is Josh Creel, who preaches for the University church of Christ in Tampa, Florida, where Kenny attends. They cooperate on the Upward Calling podcast. A link is in the show notes, along with a link to Balancing the Christian Life, Kenny’s other podcast. The first part of our conversation is about finding a way to share the gospel with people who have no idea what we’re talking about or why they should care. https://www.buzzspro

Love Better?

Scott Beyer · Love Better

This is episode zero. We have to talk about WHY to love better before we talk about HOW to. Think of this episode as a teaser for what is to come. We'll talk about Tina Turner, the paradox of love, and the reason you can't live without it, but often hate that you need it. Love is complicated, but so is life. God makes it easier.

Psalm 69

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

This is a psalm of individual lament. 69:1-5 David describes his destress. It is as if he is drowning in deep waters and he cannot find his footing. 69:6-12 His suffering has come upon him specifically because of his love for God and God's house. 69:13-19 He appeals to God to rescue him because of God's lovingkindness, truth or faithfulness, and His compassion. 69:20-21 There is no one to comfort him in his distress. 69:22-28 He asks God to judge his adversaries in ways they sought to judge others 69:29-36 Praise to God As is so often the case, pouring out his problems in distress have led to

Psalm 69 B

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

A new podcast. The first on Psalm 69 just emphasized the text itself. This podcast focuses on Jesus and the New Testament and what they say about the fulfillment of the Psalm. Psalm 69 is one of the most frequently quoted Psalms in the NT. 69:4 hated me without a cause- John 15:25 69:9 For zeal for Your house consumed me- John 2:17 69:9 The reproaches of those who reproached You feel on Me- Romans 15:3 69:21 John 19:-28-30 does not quote but seems to allude to this passage. 69:22-23 is quoted in Romans 11:8-10 69:25 is quoted in Acts 1:20 and applied to Judas. This psalm however is not simply

Setting Your Attitude

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Happy New Year! And welcome to season 5 of the ESM podcast! Have you ever piloted an aircraft? It's quite a thrill. But properly using the instruments is crucial to success. By success I mean: landing the plane instead of crashing it! One of those instruments is called an Attitude Indicator. It shows you where you are relative to the horizon in front of you. Proper alignment is very important as those two things interact at the airport. If your attitude is poor, you can blame the earth, but you are the one who needs to ma

ARE Bible Study - Resolutions! Goals! Excuses?

The Daily Answer

Resolutions! Goals! Excuses? As we approach the end of another calendar year, we reflect on the goals we tried to make in our daily lives. What did we hit, and what did we miss? How can we set goals for the coming year ahead and achieve them? Will we let things, circumstances, or other people stand in our way? Most importantly, what are the Godly goals we should pursue?

HOUSEKEEPING: The past, present and future of the podcast

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! With the end of season 4 approaching, and with the dramatic increase in listenership over the last year (thanks so much for that), I thought it was high time I spent an episode talking about what I’m doing with the podcast, what changes have been implemented, and what you might see in the future. I am in a constant state of reevaluation – what works, what doesn’t work, what tweaks I might make, and ultimately whether I can sustain this for another season. Hopefully this will answer some questions you might have, stir up some conversati

Conversing about Grace

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! The topic of God's Grace is beautifully complicated. It is simply too great to fully understand while we live here in the limitations of the flesh. But giving up on understanding grace can lead to big mistakes. Maybe we believe God covers everything not matter how we live. That's not right. But neither is the other side of the spectrum, where we look at our lives as a series of works we must accomplish to eventually get the grace. This is equally as foolish. David Osteen and I take different angles on the topic of grace,
