Godly Passion, Holy Flame episodes

  • Epistle to the Phillipians
    The book of Philippians was written by the Apostle Paul while he sat chained in Roman custody. But it's a letter that explodes with the heartfelt enthusiasm of someone who has clearly learned how to fortify his joy regardless of his circumstances. I invite you to take the next few moments to sit at Paul's feet and listen to him as if you were hearing him speak these words for the very first time.

  • Invitation to Happiness

    How would your friends rate your joy level? Would your wife or your colleagues characterize you as an uncommonly happy person? I'm pretty sure that is not the first adjective that would come to my friends' minds if you asked them to describe me. But recently I started pondering those questions and thinking about how much glory God would receive if that were to somehow flip in my life. So I asked the Lord about it. And I'd like to share with you the surprising (and happy) answer that He gave me.


    Romans 15:13

  • Abide In Christ, by Andrew Murray
    Today I want to share with you a short reading from one of the most classic books in all of Christian literature. The book is called Abide in Christ, by Andrew Murray. Murray was a great and heroic saint of the late 19th century whose books have stirred many souls through the decades. He's long been one of my favorite authors. This chapter was particularly stirring to me, so I decided to share it with all of you. I pray that it blesses you as it did me.

  • Two Words

    Some of you know what it's like to get to the end of yourself, after giving everything you've got, and then slam right into the brick wall of exhaustion. Long distance runners know all about it, but it's not just athletes that can deplete their resources.

    I'd like to give you two words that can help you bust right through that wall.

  • A Posture of Praise
    Psalm 63:4 calls on us to "praise the Lord as long as we live, lifting up our hands in His name." For some of you, this gesture of raising hands to praise God might be perfectly natural for you. Others are a little less comfortable with this type of expression in their worship.  But regardless of your own personal worship "style", the fact that God asks us to do it should cause all of us to ask, WHY? Why is this important to Him? What does it mean? What should it mean? These are some questions that I have been pondering this morning, and I'd love to share my thoughts with you.

  • John Mark's Story, 1st Cent AD

    Recently I was inspired to study the backstory of one of the little-known characters in the Bible -- but one who has had a profound impact on the history of the entire Church. What began with just some curiosity on my part turned into a major historical/Biblical research project and a short (unpublished) article along with this podcast. It's all about the backstory of John Mark, the gospel author. I had no idea, when I first started researching him, how deeply I'd be moved by his life story. I'm sure I don't to justice to it, but, then again, that's why I wasn't selected to write a gospel!

  • Lean In -- 2022
    In today's episode I'd like to offer a years-end challenge to the men who are on a journey with the King.  Join with me as we pause for just a few moments on the side of the trail to take stock of where we've been and a gander at where we need to be going.

  • Unto Us A Child (Isaiah 9)
    [First published: Aug 2019]
    Some passages of Scripture can become so familiar to us (especially those that we hear every holiday season) that they are at risk of losing their impact in our hearts. It is my prayer that Isaiah's famous "Christmas prophesy" might be rescued from such a fate, because it is truly one of the most astounding portraits of our Savior in all of the Bible.

  • While it was Still Dark (Mark 1:35)
    What is the first thing you do in the morning? When the snooze alarm is finally silenced, what is the first thing that you've got to get into your system? Because, whatever it is, it says a lot about you as a man -- about your character, about your values, about what really matters to you. Which is why I find this early morning picture of our Savior so captivating. So grab a cup of coffee, open up to the book of Mark, and take the next few moments to see what really mattered to the Messiah.

  • Tidings - A Shepherd's Story

    [First Published: December 2020]
    Although this was quite a deviation from my normal podcasts, it turned out to be the most popular of all my  recordings.  And although it has a rather "non-traditional" ending, it's based on a significant amount of personal research which convinced me that the encounter described here was actually quite plausible.

    Come listen to the first century testimony of a man who saw the events of Christmas up close and personal...
