Should You Do, Or, Should You Be?

It’s Another Podcast!

I received such positive response from the latest article in my free newsletter, The Pep Letter, that I decided to do a short podcast about it.  The article is titled, “Are You Doing Or Being?”

Far too many Christians believe that the more they “do” the more God will love them and favor them.  Then of course they are more than eager to tell others to do, do do.

Find out in this short podcast  (7:10 ) if that is the way God intended us to live.  Find out what the Bible says about God’s love for you.  This podcast could be life changing for you.

Enjoy the podcast!

What The World Really Needs Now

It’s Another Podcast!

Do you want to hear what I shared last Saturday at the Mission?

Back in the 60’s, Jackie DeShannon had hit song called, “What the World Needs Now is Love.”  Saturday night I taught at the Phoenix Rescue Mission and told them that what the world really needs now, is hope.

Yes, we all still need love, but people need hope today more than ever before.  There are lots of people who are facing what seems like hopeless situations.  Others are losing hope.

In this podcast(45:55), you will hear what I shared with those 80 homeless men.  Find out what hope in God really is, and why it is so important.  Discover how to get hope in God, or how to rekindle hope in God that is no longer there.

Enjoy the podcast!

Are More Hard Times Ahead?

It’s Another Podcast!

You and I have heard people say recently that economically we have turned the corner and that economic recovery is on the way.  Plenty of people are optimistic. Some are not.

I’m not making any predictions.  But do you think it’s safe to say that at some point there will be some difficult times?  There have always been ups and downs.  Some of the ups have been really high and some of the downs have been really low

In this short podcast (7:06) discover where your mind needs to be in order to receive God’s blessings regardless of the circumstances.

That Email Rubbed Me The Wrong Way

It’s Another Podcast!

I always try to respond back when someone sends me an email.  I try to be kind and loving, and teach something, even if the email is critical.

Maybe I should have waited a few days before I responded to this one. I didn’t.  But sometimes I get sick and tired of hearing this same ‘ol song.  So, I kind of unloaded on him.

In this podcast (9:13 ) I’m going to read what he wrote, and then what I emailed back to the man who sent me the email.  I hope you have a comment about this.  There are some Christians who really need to think about their values.  Listen and see what you think.

Enjoy the podcast!

He Had No Hope But Became A Hero

It’s Another Podcast!

Plenty of people have just plain given up.  They have no hope.  They are just trying to survive.  Have you ever felt like giving up?  I have.

In the Bible, a man named Gideon was like that.  He had given up and had no hope.  But he became a hero.

In this short podcast (7:42) I share a little bit about Gideon acquiring hope in our God, and then inspiring others to have hope too, and how he finally believed God and became a hero.

Enjoy the podcast!

Your Protection Is Your Connection

It’s Another Podcast!

I heard a great phrase the other day: “Your protection is your connection.”  In these turbulent days that we are living in, it is our connection with God that will lead us to safe shores.

This podcast takes an honest look at the topic of giving.  Sadly so many preachers misuse and abuse this topic to the end that the real message and the blessings are lost.  Take a few minutes (10:03) and listen; understanding and apply this great principle could have a very, very dramatic impact on your life.

Concerned About What’s Going On?

It’s Another Podcast!

Most of the people I talk to on a daily basis are very concerned about what is going on here in the United States.  How about you?  If you see the results of polls that are taken, more and more people are becoming deeply concerned that we are on a very wrong course; a course that will have serious consequences.

I see some people who are in “panic mode,” while others have their “head in the sand.”  There is a third option.

In this short podcast (11:23) find out how to live your life in light of the troubling times we live in.   Find out what you can do and what course of action you can pursue.  This information is very timely and very practical.
