Coming back…and NEW!!

You may be wondering, “What’s happened to the Narration by George Podcast?” Well, this is to update you on what’s happening here at Narration by George.

The podcast has returned in it’s new & improved format. (I know that’s a cliché. There’s just no better way to say it!) Just look at what we’re doing in the new episodes:

  • Totally refocused. This podcast will focus only on telling the story of Jesus.  That’s it! As such, it will have a new name: Jesus Stories.
  • Shorter. Only 15 minutes long to make it easier to fit into your schedule each week.
  • Bi-Weekly.  We will restart with a new podcast every other Sunday!
  • New Web-Site. Check out the brand new web-site for this podcast, Jesus Stories.

Wow! Those are a lot of changes!  I invite you to check out the new web-site for the new podcast and like, subscribe and share!

Along with the new podcast, we’ll feature an audio book each episode.  

#72-Headlines

Headlines IconThis 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?

Some people want to spend a lot of time and money and effort in extreme preparation.  So, we have shows on TV, like “Doomsday Preppers” from National Geograhic.  “A show dedicated to ordinary Americans who are preparing for the end of the world as we know it.”  Some people may be paralyzed by fear.  Others may just put it out of their minds.

What should be a Christian’s response to the headlines and news stories we see and hear?  Should we be preppers?  Or hide from it?  Or ignore it?  Do we realize that fear is Satan’s greatest weapon among people of faith?

This week, I want to share a lesson from the preacher at my congregation, Clear Creek Church of Christ, as he discusses what God’s Word has to say about times like these.

#42-The Story of Christmas

birth-of-jesusIt’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?  “This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son.  And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.  God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was.  He came to help, to put the world right again.” (John 3:16, The Message)  This podcast celebrates this gift in words and music.  Enjoy!
