The Miracle Morning

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Hal Elrod has become an important influence in my life. I came across a presentation he gave several years ago. This led to reading his book, The Miracle Morning, and making important changes in my life by making important changes every morning. It is my pleasure to detail his system, S.A.V.E.R.S. to you today. As I have always said, great men in the world can show us great things, but they get even greater when we add God to the mix. So we will look at how to put God in the center of each and every miracle morning. Which

Making Christianity your own...a conversation with Jake Embry

Kenny Embry · Balancing the Christian Life

Send us Fan Mail Do you remember when you knew you believed in Christianity and didn't simply inherit your parent's religion? My son Jake is going through that process now as he starts college. I understand this is partially a dad talking to his son, but I think Jake brings up some concerns and ideas many new Christians have. Support the show

S2 E5 - Coffee, Tea, Soup, & Pastries

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail Today we received one of the kindest gestures I have ever witnessed from a business. One of our local coffee shops caught wind that we were recovering from Covid, and delivered coffee, tea, soup & pastries to our door. We have become friends with the owners & baristas of The Hub Coffee Shop, and have come to appreciate their hearts and their faith. They serve many. Well...kindness is one of the best ways to put God on display. Kindness is a reflection of God's love as well as God's Spirit. You never know what a small act of kindness can do in showing the heart of God to those

S2 E6 - Recruiting and the Transfer Portal

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail The world of college football has been insane recently, even after the national championship. Given new rules to the transfer portal & NIL (name, image, & likeness) - players are jumping ship right and left from one school to another. That's why I was impressed when our new head coach showed his first priority by going back and getting players that said they were leaving to return again for another season. It's not just about recruiting, but retaining. Well...as the church, we have not just been called to save the lost, but also to go back and get the one's that once were foun

"Confession" - Monopisode

A little different look into confession examines the importance of confessing with our mouths three facts about Jesus, as found in Romans 10.9-13.

Replay — "As Was His Custom"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Programming Note: This week, we're replaying one of our favorite episodes from the past. We'll be back next week with a brand new episode. This week we’re all about habits! How do you get a good habit to stick, why is a sin habit so hard to shake, and what kind of habits did Jesus have? We’ve had habits on the brain lately as we both have been reading James Clear’s new book, so we’re examining our own habits and diving into God’s wisdom on this practical subject. Plus Bryan reacts to Jesus’ words on God filling us up to overflowing from Luke 6:38, and Ryan shares why his son can’t seem to shak

S2 E4 - Hearing Aids

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail After over five long years of waiting, my father in law finally received his hearing aids that he was so desperately needing. He was so happy to get them today, because up to this point being able to hear others as he should was a difficulty. Now everyone around him will be amplified. Well...all of us can use a hearing aid, and it's called humility. When we are proud, we are unwilling to listen to others, rather we demand they listen to us. But when we put on humility, suddenly it will amplify everyone else around us in our lives. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

An Eye Exam - John 9

Jeff · Working with the Word

Jesus' sixth sign, giving sight to the man born blind, is about much more than opening his physical eyes - it's about opening the eyes of his heart to see Jesus. Ironically, this miracle results in the Pharisees' hardheartedness and blindness to the truth. In this chapter, we as the readers, also undergo an eye exam to evaluate how well we "see" Jesus.

"Confession" with Tommy Peeler

Adam Shanks · Preach Impediments

Confession is a fancy word we use only in the context of admitting to some crime or sin. But the Bible says so much more and uses this word in so many other ways. Listen to Tommy Peeler's thoughtful explanation on why confession matters to the daily lives of christians who are professing the name of Jesus.

MURDER: Killer Christians. "Hunting Charles Manson." The Jennings Eight. H.H. Holmes' Murder Castle.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed. God told Noah that thousands of years ago. And the value of human life has not diminished since then. Unfortunately our valuation of it has in many cases. This week we will discuss whether Christians actually murder other Christians, and if so, how; the secrets to staying out of a sex-drug-murder cult; another reason not to stop for gas in Louisiana; and the only board game we own based on the work of a serial killer. Hal Hammons is the preacher for the Lakewoods Drive church o

S2 E3 - You Are Not Defined By One Game

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail Last night's National Championship game between Georgia & Alabama was great. What caught my attention was something that happened after the game though. Nic Saban, Alabama's head coach, did his best to encourage his star players when he spoke up for them and reminded the press saying, "These guys are not defined by one game." Well...we are not defined by one mistake. The good we have done and will do by God's grace is not negated because we make mistakes. We all are going to fall, what matters is that we get back up again. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

God's Great Reach

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! God's hand is mighty and amazing. He reaches farther than we can imagine, and can also handle the smallest, most intricate of problems. He is present always and always active. These are the kinds of things we believe by faith. We lean into these truths when life is hard. We understand there is no success in life without God's hand at work.

Episode 138 - "Bible Geeks: The Home Edition"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Transition to the New Year With Gratitude What kind of year has it been? What do you hope for in 2022? This week we throw back to an old, favorite segment, celebrating the "new wine" Christ brings and aiming to fit it with a "new wineskin" (Luke 5:33-39). We also share our Favorite Things about last year's Cross Training — like thinking holistically about discipleship and finding a conversational "sweet spot" with other Christians. Then we close the episode explaining what we have planned for the future of Bible Geeks. We're so grateful for those of you who spend time with us each week in thes

GEOGRAPHY (part 2): With Jeremy Dehut and Barry Britnell of Appian Media

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! This is the second part of my discussion with Jeremy Dehut and Barry Britnell. Check out www.appianmedia.com for the great work Jeremy, Barry and the rest of the crew put together. I absolutely loved Bruce Feiler’s book, American Prophet, which detailed the importance of the Moses story in American life. So when I heard he had written a book about charting the story of God through actual journeys through Bible lands, I grabbed it quickly. What a disappointment. It became obvious early on that “Walking the Bible” was not about strengthe

S2 E2 - How Will They Know?

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail I had a great conversation with the owner and roaster of our local coffee shop today. As a disciple, he said when he started his business he had a decision to make: did he want to market & brand his faith, or allow it to come naturally? He decided he wasn't a "Christian Coffee Roaster" but rather a "Coffee Roaster who is a Christian". Well...isn't this exactly what Jesus said about being his witnesses? He doesn't want us to market him via t-shirts, titles, or bumpers stickers. People should know we are his disciples when we live as light and love one another. #SetYourMindAbove

"Coming Forward" with BJ Sipe

Adam Shanks · Preach Impediments

Most modern churches have an altar call or opportunity they offer so someone might respond to the call of the Gospel. Is this Biblical? How should we do this? In this episode, BJ Sipe gives us some insight on what really matters when we ask people to "come forward."

Jesus in the Midst of Conflict - John 9-12

Jeff · Working with the Word

Things begin to get tense between Jesus and the Jews. In this episode we introduce and read through the next major section of John where we find Jesus in the midst of an intensifying conflict. But there's also a major breakthrough where Jesus says "My hour has come" - what is He talking about? What caused these conflicts, and where are they ultimately going to lead?

Psalm 36

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

This psalm contrast the character of the wicked- 36:1-4- with the character of God- 36:5-9 36:1 Transgression speaks- These two words are put together this way only here in the Bible. The word "speaks" is often translated "oracle" and refers to an oracle from the LORD. Here it is transgression or rebellion that is giving this oracle. "There is no fear of God before his eyes" Romans 3:18 quotes this. 36:4 The wicked man plans evil upon his bed. Compare Micah 2:1-2 and Proverbs 4:16. Contrast this to Deuteronomy 6:4-9. 36:5-9 God's character is said to be lovingkindness, faithfulness, righteousn
