Randy-Harris

We explore some spiritual ideas on today’s podcast.  Randy Harris, a professor from Abilene Christian University, shares a powerful lesson from Colossians 2. He even references Anka Watt.  Why?  You’ll have to listen.

Here are some quotations which may entice you:

  • Jesus Christ has triumphed over all the powers of darkness. Why aren’t you living like that?
  • Become what you are.
  • You are set free from sin by Jesus Christ. He has conquered all the dark powers.  And we spend the rest of our lives learning to become  what He has declared us to be.
  • God loves you so much that He’s conquered the dark powers through Jesus Christ

Join me for some amazing and encouraging words!

#61-Meet Mr. Holmes & Dr. Watson #2

A Study in Scarlett CD coverThis week’s podcast continues where we left off last week.  A Study in Scarlett is separated into two different parts.  Last week, we looked at part one.  This week, we look at part two. We start with the passages which outline the events which take place in America and affect the London events which we looked at last week.  Then we begin listening to some of Holmes’ descriptions of his deductions.  Join us for some amazing descriptions of the American western landscape and some exciting events.  There is also a couple bits of trivia about books and reading.

#60-Meet Mr. Holmes & Dr. Watson

A Study in Scarlett CD coverThis week’s podcast is the first of two which samples from my latest in the Narration by George Classics series: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s first Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet.  Not only does this story introduce us to Holmes and Watson, but we learn how they met and came to team together.  We also get a look at the process by which Holmes brings his deductive process to the science of crime detection.  This mystery takes us from the streets of London to the desert and mountains of the American West.  Join me for the beginning of the journey!

#58-ReCast: An Interview with Ebeneezer Scrooge

ACC 1-Scrooge DescriptionsThis week features the last of the recasts.  We look back to a very early podcast with a lot of imagination.  How about an interview with Ebeneezer Scrooge?  You remember Scrooge!  He’s the curmudgeon whose greed and avarice hardened his heard against all mankind.  But, he’s visited by three spirits who change his heart and, thus, his actions.  What if you could hear from him now?  I take a stab at this possibility by imagining an interview with the reformed Scrooge!

Yes, this podcast was originally a “Christmas season” episode. However, this story is really not about Christmas; it is about redemption.  And redemption is a universal theme good at any time of the year.  So, my production of A Christmas Carol is available for sale year ’round.  Go to my page for the book and listen to some samples.

#57-Podcast Re-Cast: Surviving Perilous Times

We continue looking back at prior podcasts – “re-casts” if you will – while I am moving and the studio is being rebuilt.  We go back to look at a spiritual episode from the past, this week.

Most of the time we read passages like Luke 21 in light of an end-of-times narrative.  However, I think that Jesus’ hearers – his disciples and apostles – would have heard this narrative in a different way.  Jesus was preparing his disciples with instructions for survival in perilous times.  In their day, Jerusalem was going to be destroyed, the church was to be scattered through persecution, and disciples would be killed.  How would they get through those times?

In many ways, our times are not so different.  There is persecution for believers in Jesus – some that leads to death.  Churches are in trouble for various reasons.  And times seem to be getting more difficult.  How to God’s children cope?

In this podcast, I go back to Jesus’ instructions for His first followers from Luke 21:5-36.  Let’s hear Jesus’ words as they might have heard them, not as an end-of-times narrative.  What do we learn of coping in perilous times?

#56-Recast – Looking Back, Looking Forward

As the moving and rebuild of the Narration by George studio progresses, we look back at some popular podcasts that have been presented and maybe one you’ve been missed.  This is a retrospective episode that was presented at the first of this year.  I reviewed some titles that are available and some of the distribution issues that we are still facing.  I also looked forward to new distribution channels and new authors.  And I start with an interview with new author Donna Patton.  Take a listen!

P.S. Have you checked out my newest offerings? The Destined and A Study in Scarlet are now available on CD Baby, Audible.com, and in the I-Tunes store.  Click on the title for more info or go to narrationbygeorge.com/books.
