Something To Gnaw On

Have you ever had an "Awkward Moment"?   Well, I am sure we all have, but hopefully this little anecdote will help bring a little perspective... and a bible reference in Romans just might solidify a good perspective!

Also, be sure to check out the facebook page for a message that I have not been able to upload to the podcast (as of yet).  It has to do with this next year/season of the podcast and a survey that is going to be the wind in the sails of the season. 

Blessings!

Here it is folks!!!  The final two episodes packaged in one!!   This episode takes a look at David as a parent, and the difficulty he had with three  of his kids: Amnon, Absalom, Adonijah, and the success with the golden boy......   Solomon.     The episode dives into the personalities of some of the kids and the marital dynamics that made the situation what it was.  Additionally, David does some things significantly different with Solomon so he doesn't make the same mistakes again.    

Ultimately, there is redemption.... but lets be honest, its a tough road.   It is my hope that the reality of redemption is caught by the listener, and that it would inspire you to redeem the time you have with your kids!!!   The keys are in the episode!!!   Blessings.

Edit:  (Frankly this is a great sermon so I want to leave it, HOWEVER....  our church has several services, and the detail I mention in the podcast, was not included in the sermon that was posted...... so, fair warning ⚠️,  the reference is not included....... but it’s a good message!!!!! The sermon referenced in the episode.

There is no shortage of sermon series, teachings, or seminars on recovering from hurt, pain, and injustice.  In a word, our society has played to the victim.   We get a phrase called the victim mentality.  And this podcast will not sweep the pain of loss and hurt under the rug.  However, this particular episode addresses the restoration process in David's life, and for those willing to walk down the path, the outcome is freedom from the shame and guilt and the paralyzing nature of having hurt others.  

It's not easy, and some would say 'it's not fair', but take a listen and see how God deals with David.   And if you are that person who has hurt people in your past, I hope and pray that you find a divine healing... a divine restoration... and that you find that God still see's you as useful.

Maybe this portion should be called, "Not Handling Conflict King David Style", or even "Not Creating Conflict - King David Style".   

Humorous clip from the transcript:  (Side Note:  in the third edit of this, the irony hits me…. This is a parable style podcast using a historical story to highlight a biblical story in which the prophet uses a parable story to convey a convicting truth…..   wow!!!! We’re working really hard get to the tough stuff!!!!!))) 

As we venture in to the manner in which  David deals with his kids, we first have to deal  with the reasons some of the conflicts arise.   When Paul writes of reaping what you sow (Galatians 6), he could very well have been using David as an illustration.  

We will first begin with a quick glance at his affair with Bathsheba, and then take a quick look at an often overlooked passage in Deuteronomy.  Frankly, I've never heard anyone preach or teach on the passage!

Anyhow, This part of the of the series will probably have three episodes dealing with his kids.

God Bless!!!

Once again, my buddy (Bobby) is part of another Alaskan adventure where I learned a lot about ....... PERSPECTIVE!   Not just right or wrong perspective, but the fact that whatever our perspective is, it’s  an incomplete depiction of what is really going on in life!   There is so much more to life than what we see at any given moment.    It’s good to have a right perspective, but we’d all be better off getting close to The One who sees it all, and knows it all!!!

Additionally, this episode sets the stage for listeners to dive into their own bible-studies of biblical personalities that experienced rapid changes in their perspective of life, but managed to stay on course.... see the show notes below for references regarding  the lives of Joshua, Joseph, David, and Paul

Joseph- Genesis 30-50
Joshua- you might start with Exodus 17:8  and follow his involvement with Moses……. Then the victory dance starts in the book of Joshua
David- 1 Samuel 16 thru 2 Samuel
Paul- start with Acts 8 and read to the end of Acts.

Luke wears many hats!   Pastor, husband, father, ... he works in radio and has a couple of podcasts, one of which is Cross-References - a bible study that usually runs between 30-45 minutes and does an excellent job highlighting how scriptural truth applies in our ever changing culture.

Today, however, you get to listen to a bootleg copy of an interview Luke did of me a couple of weeks back, that will air on his podcast this coming Monday, as we discuss the use of stories to relay scriptural truth effectively.

Enjoy!! And check out his podcast at

What heartless punk would steal a kids' bat, and throw him in prison?  Sound unreal??   I assure you it's not.   And unfortunately, it's the front end of a very tough story.

Certainly we all have these moments of difficulty, of being treated unjustly, of being injured  - either physically, mentally, or spiritually.    So, how do you bounce back?  How do you handle it?   

This weeks episode looks at a passage from Romans, and a character in the book of Genesis for some guidance on the issue of bouncing back from adversity.

I had the distinct privilege of sitting down with a long time friend, and brother in Christ, and revisiting some battles won long ago.    It had almost a reunion feeling.  

Years ago we walked a path together through pain and frustration, and while we each had our own specific battle to fight..... we both won!

In this conversation we revisit those battles, those victories, and new adventures that God has led us on!
