This week, we break from our look at audio books to delve into some spiritual areas. I recently spent a weekend dealing with the deaths of two parents in two families close to me. Putting these two events so close together stirred my soul deeply. When I got back to my home church the following weekend, I heard a lesson from John 11 on Lazarus. What should our perspective be on a story of resurrection? I share this lesson with you on this podcast. (This podcast is a bit longer than usual. I hope you can hang with me!)

This week, we’re stepping away from the world of audio books to look at the timeless word of spiritual ideas. Let me start with a question: Are you afraid? Do you look at the headlines or hear the stories on TV news and quake from fear? How do you cope with that fear?
This 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!
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.
Since this is Holy Week in the Christian calendar, I have produced a narrative of the events of Holy Week – from the arrest of Jesus through the resurrection – based totally on the Scriptures. Rather than rely on just one of the Gospel narratives, I have meshed the four narratives together in one cogent story. I pray that you are blessed by this telling of these important events – the most important events in all of history!
This week, we go back to the world of spiritual ideas to talk about “blessings.” Each week, I end this podcast with an exhortation to “share you blessings with someone else.” The question is, “What are our blessings?” Are they the things we have? The people we know? The life we lead? Jesus tells us about blessings and this lesson from my home church talks about those definitions in the context of Jesus’ birth.
It’s two days before Christmas as I write this. The season of giving, receiving, family, friends, fellowship, and food is upon us. But, will we take time to remember the reason for this season? Will we take time – individually and corporately – to celebrate, to contemplate, to remember the One who gave us the most important gift of all?
