Brand New Day

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

Last week, Michael paused to honor a friend, one of two million people lost to the pandemic worldwide in the past year. What is less widely publicized is that more than 42 million are lost to a much more preventable crisis. Every year. 

In honor of Sanctity of Life Sunday, Michael calls us to remember this heinous injustice and encourages us not to feel powerless in standing for life. 

The episode ends with a gripping song about the unborn and a prayer by a woman who found God's hope and forgiveness after ending her own pregnancy years ago.

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. 

Giving tribute to a true hero of the faith, Michael reflects not only on the life of a dear 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.

In this first episode of 2021, Michael implores us to make praising God the theme of our lives this year: at all times, in all circumstances. He explores why God not only deserves our praise, but how it changes the atmosphere within our hearts when we resolve to live like this. 

Be stirred as Michael reads Psalm 103 in his signature style and then features other voices using Scripture and song to powerfully praise the Lord.

Perhaps the biggest gift of 2020 was seeing ever more clearly the world's need for a Savior. In this last episode of the year, Michael looks back and also points us to You Reign: 2020 – a powerful new video from the OneWay team that puts into perspective the events of the year and the saving, healing grace of God.

God has poured out His love into our hearts. And as we encounter others, this love ought to overflow into their lives - even through small, seemingly insignificant encounters. In this episode, Michael Thompson shares a host of practical ideas for loving the lost around us.

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

What do we do when we feel bombarded by the various needs and asks in our world? Is it exciting for us - or a pain, a drain, and a time to complain? 

Amidst all of the noise, might we pause a moment? Did we somewhere along the way miss that God created giving as a beautiful part of His Kingdom and a way for us to honor Him and impact lives forever?

In this week’s podcast, Michael encourages us to take Kingdom giving back from an enemy who has always wanted to distort and undermine its beauty. God made giving beautiful and He intends for it to be exciting, fulfilling, fruit- bearing and yes, a total blast!

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

Anxiety and uncertainty seem to be pressing in on every side. But today, Michael Thompson encourages listeners to take a step away from the present and look back at their entire life story. If you are a believer, there is one thing that has not and will not ever change.

As we give thanks this week — even during a year as difficult as 2020 — let's pause and reflect on the goodness of God! Happy Thanksgiving and lots of love from OneWay and the Brand New Day podcast team.
