The 44

Send us a Text Message.Have we lost our ability to consider FIRST going back to the book (the Bible)? If 2 Timothy 3:16-17 is true that ALL SCRIPTURE is God breathed and inspired, then don't we need to be people that go back to the book no matter what we hear or watch or listen to from man? God says give this way, worship this way, live your life this way and in this episode we eat on the importance of going back to the book like the Berean's who were a noble people that examined the scriptur...

Send us a Text Message.In this episode we eat from God's word on singing. During what moments or seasons of life do you feel the most moved to sing? Usually its in those moments of cheer or excitement or after an answered prayer. But what about those moments of life that aren't that? This episode takes a look at two places in scripture where David, Paul and Silas found great encouragement, edification and some healing power by singin' through the storm they were in.

Send us a Text Message.In this episode we eat on the reality of ending up going the wrong way on the right road. There is overwhelming data that suggests that the majority of all American's are Christians. Is that true? Is that what you see in the world around us?

Send us a Text Message.In this episode we eat on three situations from God's word that would have seemed like it never would have ended...until...it did! Hold on! Hang tight!

Send us a Text Message.In this episode we eat on a really well known passage from Jesus sermon on the mount from Matthew 5:16 "Let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."

Send us a Text Message.In this episode we eat on the great comfort of God continually saying "I Got YOU!" From the very beginning we see God say to men like Moses (who doubted, questioned and lacked confidence)... "I Got You!" And what's more, He does! Or how about with David? A man who had the confidence but was overlooked by so many others. A man considered to be just a little shepherd boy. A man many saw as a nobody. And yet God says I want HIM! And more than that, through a story like Dav...

Send us a Text Message.In this episode we eat on the idea of OPEN FOCUS. In these lives we live it is so natural for us to fixate and to focus on problems and issues that arise but where does that leave us? Usually tense, anxious, and in a position where we MISS everything else. By looking at Hebrews 12 and Matthew 6, we learn that really we should take an OPEN FOCUS away from myself and away from the 90mph fastballs of life and it is then that we can truly see EVERYTHING!
