Over the next 3 nights I'll be doing a talk each night, in each case to a special group who have asked me to come and speak to them:
Tomorrow night I'm speaking at a book club - they have read one of my books, but many of them also aspire to be authors, and so they want me to talk to them about that
Wednesday night I'm doing a webinar for a group of parents who have lost children - they want me to talk about my book, What Really Happens After We Die - please pray that God will give me words of hope & comfort
Thursday night I'm speaking over zoom to a Latin class in Chicago - they've been reading early Christian texts so I'm going to talk about historical context
And BTW - folks in this community should feel free to ask for prayer any time on this feed - you don't need to be super specific, God knows your need better than you do - but I'm sure I speak for the whole community when I say we are happy to pray for each other!
I'm back, up and running, and ready to go - I should have a new JOURNEY episode within the next week or so - and because you are my loyal peeps, here is an exclusive, just-for-you, behind the scenes SNEAK PEEK into my new office:
This was for March 24th, recorded for the Ascension App
Thanks for your patience - here is our next installment of The Journey - it's session # 96, but I'm also calling it PART 1 of a "miniseries" on John chapter 6.
Whoever watches it first, please let me know if it looks good or if there are any problems with it - I get through the first two sections of the text on the feeding of the 5,000.
Enjoy!
I mentioned in The Journey that I wrote a song based on Isaiah 2, which is one of my favorite OT passages:
In days to come, the mountain of the Lord’s house
shall be established as the highest mountain, and raised above the hills.
All nations shall stream toward it. Many peoples shall come and say:
“Come, let us go up to the Lord’s mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, That he may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in his paths.” For from Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between the nations, and set terms for many peoples.
They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; One nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they train for war again. House of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord!
I hope you like the song!
