I am constantly praying that this podcast ministry will have a heart to heart connection with fathers.  One more sermon, one more Bible Study, a little more Bible knowledge etc. can all be given without real heart life transforming change. As John Rajan shared and interacted (from his heart)  with me about prayer and fathers I knew God was answering prayers as to the potential impact of fathers helping fathers by each father sharing from his heart  the real struggles and issues of life that all fathers face. I am looking forward to having other fathers call in so that we together by God's grace can see God work supernaturally to raise up the foundations of many godly generations. 

Series 1   Episode  3

This message is taken from a parable in Luke 17:7-10.  We understand through this parable the whole concept of being a bond servant under the Lordship of Jesus Christ the Master. Rather than parenting or living being a drudgery as believers in Christ we have the marvelous blessing of parenting and living being a delight. As we delight ourselves in our Lord He will give us the desires of our heart. 

Delight yourself also in the LORD,

Psalm 37:4

Series 1   Episode  5         Every father knows the challenges that come with fatherhood.  As we consider the days in which we live we can see the exceeding greatness of the challenges. In this podcast we share with fathers how to know with absolute certainty that you personally are able to fulfill the responsibilities God has called you to as a father. We explain how to take away the question mark ( of uncertainty) and replace it with the period (of absolute certainty).  

As I was recording this podcast speaking of the Lord Jesus Christ's sufficiency to see us through the storms of life to fulfill our responsibilities as fathers -- the Lord Himself added  background reality to the message. You will hear the thunder of the storm in the background of the recording that came through at the exact time I recorded the podcast message.

This podcast is my son (Josh) and I discussing priorities of a father and evaluating success from the Lord's perspective.

Series 1   Episode  1

Every father who has found his way to this podcast should listen to this message first.

In this introductory podcast I explain the foundations of how I was led by God to begin this podcast ministry.

                                                       Biographical Information – Pastor Randy Cook

I was born in 1954 in Phenix City, Alabama and saved when I was 18 years old through Tom Tarvin sharing the gospel with me. He continued to teach and disciple me for two years -- to grow in my relationship and fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ and to know God, love God and worship God. 

I attended Columbia Bible College 1974 -1976.  I attended  Philadelphia Bible College  (from 1976-1979) and graduated  in 1979.

I attended Biblical Theological Seminary in Hatfield PA for two years before God called me to pastor the Greenwich Baptist Church.

My wife (Vicki) and I met at Columbia Bible College and were married in Bridgeton NJ in 1976.  She was born and raised in NJ.

 God blessed us with ten children and 19 grandchildren (as of June 26, 2020) and there is one other grandchild on the way.

I have been in pastoral ministry for 44 years in  4 different churches.  

# 1   Pearl Street Baptist Church in Bridgeton NJ (Associate Pastor 1976 - 1979)

# 2 Calvary Baptist in Bethlehem PA  (Associate Pastor 1979-1981)  

 # 3 Greenwich Baptist in Greenwich NJ (Senior Pastor 1981 - 1996)   

# 4  Greenville Christian Fellowship in Greenville S.C. (where I presently have served since 1999).

Vicki and I were able by God's grace to home-school all ten of our children (6 sons and 4 daughters).

When I was pastor of  Greenwich Baptist Church we also had a home school ministry in South Jersey

 that provided a support group for other home-school moms and dads.

I am so thankful to God for all the believers he has brought into our lives (as a family)  over the years. They have come alongside of our family and have had a strong spiritual impact upon us to spur us on to become more like our Lord Jesus Christ.   I am also thankful for all the families God has joined us to through the marriage of our sons and daughters. Together we all have one single purpose -- to know Christ and make Him known. 

I mentioned in this foundational podcast the critical importance of God's mercy in our lives. None of us have a success story to tell. We all as believers have a mercy and grace story to tell. How faithful God has been in our lives based on His mercy and grace. 

 His goodness and mercy must follow us all the days of our lives.
