We continue looking at the book of Ephesians by studying the second part of chapter one. As Paul discusses the key to unlocking the spiritual blessing we talked about in the first study, we find that the key may not be a popular one. In fact, it can be down-right unpopular — but necessary. Are you willing to do the unpopular?
I also play an extended excerpt from a recently released audio book, The Swaddling Clothes by Amber Schamel. This is great historical fiction tracing a history of God’s people from King David to the time of the birth of Christ, focusing on the Swaddling Clothes which ultimately covered the baby Jesus.

- Ephesians 1:9-23
- The Swaddling Clothes by Amber Schamel
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’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.
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.
If you listened last week, you know that we are going to feature some older podcasts as “re-casts” for the next four weeks while I move and re-build my studio in a new home. This week’s re-cast features my friend and author, Becky Wooley. As a minister’s wife and church secretary, she has the inside scoop on how churches run. And she has taken that information and some great imagination to write the clerical crime novel, Non-Prophet Murders. Grit along with three pastors find themselves the target of a killer. Can Grit and his girlfriend, Grace, find the killer before he or she strikes again! Full of humor, satire, and some scary moments, Non-Prophet Murders keeps you guessing “who-dun-it.” Listen and find out how she does it!
This week’s Audio Book of the Week is a great murder mystery full of satire and commentary about matters involving the way we Christians do “church”. How do murder and church go together? Check out Becky Wooley’s clerical crime novel, Non-Prophet Murders. It’s a great listen which we sample in this podcast.
