This week, I interviewed Anne Baxter Campbell and Trish Horner about the latest Narration by George Audio Book release, The Roman’s Quest. Anne is the author of this very fine novel. Trish was the narrator for the female characters and the female point-of-view narratives. We talked about the novel and about the faith in God that is evident throughout and central to the book. You’ll hear examples of everything mentioned. There is so much to hear that this is only the first part of the interview. Next week, for part two, Anne interviews Trish and me.

This week, we examine the fifth and final Frequently Asked Question – questions that people ask about God by looking at the Gospel’s response to sexual immorality. This answer may surprise you! But, you’ll never know without listening!
We continue looking at the five tough questions people ask about God. This week is a more internal question than the others: How can I be certain that my decisions reflect God’s will for my life? Again, I feature the teaching of Joey Davis from the Clear Creek Church of Christ on this topic. Your comments are always welcome.
This week features question number three of the five tough questions that people ask about God. We look at the question of people who have never had the chance to hear the gospel. Are they condemned to hell? This podcast, like the others, features the teaching of Joey Davis of the Clear Creek Church of Christ. Your comments are always welcome to me.
We continue our look at five tough questions which are asked about God when Christians begin to share their faith outside of the church building’s walls. This week’s question: If God is loving and just, why does he allow suffering and injustice? Listen for some answers.
Last week’s podcast challenged us to be a BLESS-ing by sharing how Jesus’ intersects our story. When we rise to that challenge, we’ll hear questions. Some easy. Some hard. Beginning with this episode, we examine five hard questions that people may ask you about God. How should you answer? Listen for some help with this question.
This podcast stays in the realm of Bible teaching this week – or rather faith sharing. If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, how easy is it for you to share with others your faith in Him? For many, I would say that it is probably difficult. My home congregation is trying to make it easy for everyone to share the story of their faith. So, I am pleased to share the first of several messages about sharing. Today, we learn how being a BLESS-ing can help you share your faith in Christ. BLESS is an acronym to help you remember some basic steps in sharing. Take a listen for more details!
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 The Roman’s Quest, by Anne Baxter Campbell, we meet Centurion Julius who has eyes for a young Jewish woman, Miriam. Miriam also has eyes for Julius, but a Roman is not who her father intends for her. Miriam is a pious Jewish girl, determined to do the right thing by her God and her parents, and she bows to her father’s wishes to betroth her to a Jewish fisherman, James ben Zebedee. Her heart yearns for the Roman; his heart yearns for her; but their love is impossible. Miriam’s mother lies close to death, and her last wish is to see her daughter wed. The marriage has to take place before it’s too late. Woven through this story is the presence of a new prophet on the scene; a man called Jesus.
