Send us Fan Mail My mind has been on the residents of Kerr County all week, after the flash flooding and mass devastation that has occured. 120 are confirmed dead with 170 still missing. I cannot imagine that kind of loss. My words can do little to help them or make things better...but I can direct my words to the One who can. God's words have power. He has the power to create and sustain. The power over nature, and even by his mere word he has the power over life and death. So please - serve, give, and love those who are suffering - but don't forget to pray. Pray is not the lease we can do, i
Jason and Roger continue a four-part July series called “Thinking Through ‘My Jesus, I Love Thee,'” digging deeper into the theme and significance of our Wednesday Evening Summer Series. In this episode we ask, “Is it tone deaf to talk about God’s love in the midst of a tragedy?” PREVIOUSLY IN THIS SERIES: Love is a Choice
Let Christ Shape Your Life What's something you love to make – like, really, really love? And why does Peter’s call to build on our faith remind us of a delicious festive side dish? In this final Square One episode, we're asking the big question: “What’s next?” Discipleship is about consistent growth, staying moldable on the potter's wheel, and allowing the Lord to make changes in your life. Ever struggled with patience or consistency in your daily walk with God? We’ve been there too! Tune in as we wrap up Square One and look ahead to a life of discipleship! Thanks for joining us on this epic
On This Week at Charlestown Road, Jason and Roger revisit Sunday morning’s sermon, “The Lion in Summer,” digging deeper into the temptations that frequently come in the “Summer” of faith.
Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! We’re touring the United States this month, starting with the biggest state of all. This week we’ll discuss the pros and cons of chasing gold (turns out there may be more of the latter than the former); the crazy scheme that saved America, and then saved it again, and again; the easiest way to wealth you’ve ever heard of – but which still requires some effort; and perhaps the silliest reason the Hammonses have ever had for buying a board game – and how, strangely enough, it isn’t working out that well for us.

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! In years past I’ve tried to supply four lists of books around this time of year — my best books, the books that made me think the most, the most surprising books I’ve read, and the most disappointing books I’ve read. Unless I hear a barrage of protests, I’m going to cull that to two lists this year. I may or may not talk about surprising and disappointing books in December. For now, though, I’m contenting myself with two. Last week it was thinky books; today I share my favorites. It’s been a pretty good year so far; here’s hoping the b
Send us Fan Mail We took the kids with their grandparents to the Lexington Children's Museum, and the big hit was the bubble room! Bubbles are a lot of fun, but they are for just a short moment and then their fragile shape pops and is gone. Then you forget them, and move on to another bubble or another room. Our lives are like the bubble room - here today and gone tomorrow. Short, fragile, and soon forgotten. But we have an opportunity to be remembered by our creator, and to live forever, if we are willing to seek our Creator during our short few years on this earth. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! I hope you’ve enjoyed my discussion with Steve and BJ as much as I have. As we celebrate another birthday in the United States this week, we often find ourselves in a position to brag on ourselves a bit. Or maybe more than that. What’s good for America is good for Americans, basically — including American Christians. But is that really so? Is “America First” compatible with the Bible, and can patriotism be carried too far?

Become a Light to the World We're almost at the finish line of our Square One series, and in Session 12, we're tackling a big one: "What about everyone else?" We'll dive into how your relationships might change when you commit to Christ and why that's not something to fear. Plus, we're talking about the "chill and very relaxed priesthood" that every Christian is a part of. Get ready to discover your special purpose and mission in the world, not as a secret agent, but as someone radiating God's light! The Big Idea: God sends us into the world to reflect his light in the darkness. This Week's Ch
A few notes from Psalm 145:14-21 and Jesus' fulfillment of Psalm 145 145:20 The LORD keeps all who love Him- There is a wordplay between the first word of the verse שםר and the last word of the verse שםד One describing the LORD actions towards the righteous and the other His actions towards the wicked. Is watches over a better translation? How much does it promise? It certainly does not mean the absence of all trouble. “What hints it does offer of the human condition are not all sweetness and light: God’s people may be bowed down and thus call and cry to Him for salvation (vv. 14, 18-19)” Broy
Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! There’s a lot of talk in recent years about how great America is, or was, or might be in the future if we vote for the right people. But instead of America’s greatness, I’d like to talk about its goodness. Steve Wolfgang and BJ Sipe are here to help me cover the topic in the second part of our recent discussion. Whatever your political affiliation, I think you’ll find a lot of spiritual meat to chew on here.
