Fastened Like Nails episodes

November 28, 2022 Turn At My Rebuke - Part 1
If you experience pleasure first, the price will follow. However, if you pay the price first, pleasure will follow. In today’s episode of Fastened Like Nails, Dr. Mark Hamby and co-host Molly Mayo discuss the dangers and rewards of listening to the voice of wisdom. It is never easy to accept correction, but “where sensitivity to reproof is felt the strongest, there is the surest sign of needing it.” (18th century Fenelon)

November 21, 2022 Friendship Series Part 7. Loving and Sympathetic Friends
We need friends who can lovingly call out sin in our lives. Ouch! What does that even look like?
In today’s episode Dr. Mark Hamby, Professor Colin Smith, and Co-host Molly Mayo discuss loving and sympathetic friends and follow the well-known story of David and Nathan. Although Nathan was presented with the very awkward scenario of talking to the king about the king’s adultery and murder, he had courage to tell the truth regardless of how he felt. It was through Nathan’s discretion that David unknowingly pronounced judgment on himself and saw things through God’s perspective. That’s the power of a loving and sympathetic friend!

November 07, 2022 Friendship Series Part 6. Honest And Truthful Friends
Did you know the Hebrew word for friend means shepherd? The Hebrew word ‘xaver’ (pronounced have-err) carries with it the meaning of protection, companionship, and affection. This is seen nowhere better than in the life of David— the lonely shepherd boy who sought to be honest and truthful in all his ways.
In part 6 of our 7-week series on friendship, Dr. Mark Hamby is joined in the studio by close friend and Masters Guild Teacher Colin Smith for an unforgettable podcast on what it takes to be an honest and truthful friend!

October 31, 2022 Friendship Series Part 5. Flattering Friends
The Bible clearly teaches us to avoid one type of friend: the flatterer. Now, there is nothing wrong with a well-placed compliment. But what is the difference between someone who is giving you a genuine compliment and someone who is flattering you?

October 17, 2022 Friendship Series Part 3. Cowardly Friends
This week Dr. Mark Hamby, Professor Colin Smith, and co-host Molly Mayo take an inside peek into the life of David!
Contrasting the young boy's courageous faith with that of the cowardly king Saul we see that the difference is in identity. While King Saul clung to the crown and the favor of the people, David found his identity in the fear of the Lord -- something King Saul had lost.
This is a journey that is relevant not only for parents, grandparents, and single adults but also for anyone who is looking to walk in humility and blessing.

About Fastened Like Nails

From the publisher's feed

The mission of Lamplighter Ministries is “to make ready a people prepared for the Lord, by building Christ-like character one story at a time.” The mission of this ministry is deeply rooted in the truths found in Malachi 4:6 and Luke 1:17. The gospel writer Luke quotes from Malachi 4:6 in his first chapter. His handling of the text is peculiar because he leaves out part of the quote and adds a sentence that changes the entire meaning of Malachi’s text. In Malachi we read: “To turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” In Luke we read: “To turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” The first part of this verse is identical in both passages. The second part, “turning the hearts of the children to their fathers” is similar to “turning the disobedient to the wisdom of the just.” It appears that Luke is emphasizing that children’s hearts (the disobedient) will turn to their fathers, if their fathers’ hearts become righteous and worthy. The last part of the verse in Malachi, “lest I come and smite the earth with a curse,” has been deleted and new text has been added, thus changing the meaning. Generally, the New Testament writers will change an Old Testament text to help clarify the intended meaning, but here Luke changes the meaning of the text entirely. Whereas the Old Testament closes out with the word “curse” and a strict warning, the New Testament closes out with hope and an emphasis on grace—“the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, Amen.” By Divine design the Old Testament closes in “curse” and the New Testament closes with “grace.” When Luke the physician quotes Malachi 4:6 and removes the curse, I believe he was adding that which is at the heart of Christian discipleship—“making ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
