Brand New Day

Hey friend! What'd you think of the show?

Christmas may be over, but we still have cause to celebrate one of the most glorious of all days in history. We don't know exactly the date when Jesus was born, but we do know that it was a moment when God entered into this world, bringing hope to humanity. 

Enjoy this episode from last Christmas with a special arrangement of Silent Night as you reflect on the most important Brand New Day.

It can be tempting to focus on what's missing during the Christmas season. But in this episode from last year, Michael Thompson explains why he loves speaking the words, "Merry Christmas!" as a blessing over people to encourage them to focus on the gift of Jesus.

Enjoy an episode filled with delightful Christmas melodies in Michael's signature style as you reflect on the many reasons to give thanks this holiday.

As we prepare to celebrate Jesus' birth, sometimes there's no better way to get our hearts ready than to focus on music that lifts our hearts and brings peace to our souls. 

To help us do just that, we're sharing this special episode again featuring the music of Michael Thompson and friends.

In a dark world that is spiritually blinded to the gospel, we have good news of great joy for all people — including us! 

In this Brand New Day episode from last year, Michael Thompson encourages us to focus on the awesome future we have in Christ. Even in our struggles, our joy is indestructible and something we are called to celebrate and share with others.

May your Advent be blessed with music of Christmas from Michael and the OneWay team.

In this episode from last year, Michael welcomes Prayercast Director Chris Ruge for an engaging conversation that will open your eyes to a group many of us think very little about: the world's 1.8 billion Muslims. 

Chris recounts how it wasn't until he understood God's heart for Muslims that he began to care himself. After a thought-provoking discussion and some compelling stories, Chris shares a simple, but profound way we can each make a loving impact on Muslims during the upcoming month of Ramadan. Let's not just be hearers of the Word, but doers, making the most of this opportunity!

Days before OneWay leadership was scheduled to close on our new ministry home, President Michael Thompson broke a vertebrae in his lower back. For the past month, instead of heading up our move into the new facility, Michael has been struggling just to get through daily life. 

On this episode of Brand New Day, Michael talks about the incredible way God provided our new ministry center after two years of prayer, waiting and searching. He explains how we plan to use the facility to reach more people and bring like-minded ministries together. And he unpacks what he's learned about God and His timing through the process.

Sometimes in dark moments we might question whether God still speaks to His people. But Michael Thompson reminds us this week to actively seek Him. We can go to God with childlike questions, knowing that when He answers, His sheep know His voice (John 10:27). 

Listen to this week's podcast and be reminded that God offers us the chance to know Him in a personal and intimate way. His voice is unlike any other!

Last week, we remembered the passing of a dear friend of OneWay a year ago, and today we offer a reprise of the companion episode to When the Miracle Doesn’t Come. In this follow-up episode, Michael ventures out to address an even more pressing prayer we all wrestle with: waiting for the miracle healing of someone's soul.

Michael reminds us that while the miracle healing of the body is a blessing, the miracle healing of a soul in need of Christ is of infinitely more worth and truly the greatest gift God could ever give.

Hey friend! What'd you think of the show?

We've all had those times when we're desperate, when a situation seems hopeless. We cry out to God for a miracle. We know He can do it. We pray against all odds for God to give us our miracle...and then He doesn't...at least not how we would have wanted. 

One year after a dear friend entered heaven, we look back at this podcast episode from last January, which gave tribute to a true hero of the faith. Michael reflects not only on the life of a friend and co-worker in the gospel, but also on the issues of how to walk with a God who doesn't always give us what we want. 

Be encouraged at the end of this episode by a musical reminder of the glorious days that await all of us who make up the body of Christ.

There’s something irresistible about an amazing story, isn’t there?  

In this week’s episode, Michael invites listeners into OneWay’s new podcast, One80, to hear incredible transformation stories of God at work in peoples’ lives. Listen as he reminds us of Psalm 66:16, which says, “Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul.” Then get a taste of One80 by hearing Paty Campodonico’s riveting story of being brought out of despair into hope and purpose in the Lord.

Every person has a story, but especially those who have been saved by Christ. May we be a people set on proclaiming God’s goodness and His kingdom!
