Everyday Conversations Podcast

Our very own Shafer Parker shares about his experience watching the Christmas film, I Heard The Bells from Christian Production Company Sight & Sound Films. Known as America's Poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow leads an idyllic life...until the day his world is shattered by tragedy. With a nation divided by Civil War and his family torn apart, Henry puts down his pen, silenced by grief. But it's the sound of Christmas morning that reignites the poet's lost voice as he discovers the resounding hope of rekindled faith. Shafer shares his thoughts on this brand-new Christmas Classic for the whole family. Thanks for joining us and check out more resources at faithbeyondbelief.ca Merry Christmas!

Too many Christians hesitate to share their faith because they anticipate the inevitable result will be failure and embarrassment for all concerned. But FBB speaker Ian McKerracher uses an encounter with an ISP salesman to remind us that such defeatism results from our forgetting God's secret weapon, the Holy Spirit, Who goes before us and works with us, to prepare the ground and make every gospel encounter a success in one way or another.
