Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast)

What many people don't know about Shane is that he was also friends with the late Rich Mullins. On this episode I talk with Shane about Rich, following the peaceful path of JEsus, gun violence, the death penalty and more.

Make sure you listen to the very end of the podcast so you can find out how to get one of Shane Claiborne's audiobooks for free.

Our featured guest this week is Derek Ellis, Owner of Brave Life Pastoral Counseling Service operating in Springfield, Ohio.

After the tragedy of the Las Vegas mass shooting in October 2017, I felt like we could all use some good, godly counseling, and Derek is on of the best counselors around. Join us for a Podcast counseling session.

Voices In My Head Podcast Episode #232: World Communion Sunday with Reverend Robert Swanson

A few months ago we filmed a music video at First Lutheran Church in Dayton Ohio. The music video was for the song, "The Invitation", a communion song inviting all who are willing to come and know Jesus as the table of sacrament. 

Since feeding the hungry and serving communion go hand in hand for Pastor Robert Swanson of First Lutheran Church, I thought it would be a great idea to have him as our guest on a special World Communion Sunday episode.

“The Invitation” A Song for World Communion Sunday - October 1st, 2017.

To my listeners who have so faithfully been with me through thick and thin, this is a special podcast just for you. There is a big announcement being made in CCM Magazine on Friday September 15th, but as promised I am sharing the news with my podcast listeners one day early. This ended up being a much more emotional episode of the show that I expected. I'm not going to spoil this short 20 minute episode for you but I will tell you it was a wonderful way for me to express the depth of emotion that I am feeling. Make sure and read the full story starting Friday, March 15th on CCMMagazine.com.

Our guest this week on Voices In My Head is Rick Incorvati, a Deacon at Christ Episcopal Church in Springfield Ohio, a professor at Wittenberg University, and the director of Equality Springfield.

Rick shares some of the story of his life; coming to terms with being gay, walking away from the church for a time, his journey back to the church through a renewed relationship with God, and his call into ministry.

In light of so many things happening in our world, not the least of these being record breaking hurricanes, Rick Lee James takes a few moments to consider DACA in light of Matthew 25. Who are the strangers mentioned by Jesus in this well known parable?
