On Friday, September 30, 2016 at 7:00pm in the University of Dayton Arena, a very powerful Worship event called Declare Dayton will be taking place. The organizer of the event, Caleb Ingram, is our guest today on Voices In My Head, sharing all about the event and the vision behind it.

This is the beginning of what will be several ongoing episodes of Voices In My Head dealing with the sermons of Karl Barth. In this episode I share a sermon of Barth from March 4th, 1917. The text is Mark 10:46-52.About Karl Barth - From WikiKarl Barth (/bɑːrt/; German: [baʀt]; May 10, 1886 – December 10, 1968) was a Swiss Reformed theologian who is often regarded as the greatest Protestant theologian of the twentieth century. Pope Pius XII called him the most important Christian theologian since St. Thomas Aquinas. His influence expanded well beyond the academic realm to mainstream culture, leading him to be featured on the cover of Time on April 20, 1962.Beginning with his experience as a pastor, Barth rejected his training in the predominant liberal theology typical of 19th-century European Protestantism. He also rejected more conservative forms of Christianity. Instead he embarked on a new theological path initially called dialectical theology due to its stress on the paradoxical nature of divine truth (e.g., God's relationship to humanity embodies both grace and judgment). Many critics have referred to Barth as the father of neo-orthodoxy – a term that Barth emphatically rejected. A more charitable description of his work might be "a theology of the Word." Barth's work had a profound impact on twentieth century theology and figures such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer – who like Barth became a leader in the Confessing Church – Thomas F. Torrance, Reinhold Niebuhr, Jacques Ellul, Stanley Hauerwas, Jürgen Moltmann, and novelists such as John Updike and Miklós Szentkuthy.Barth's unease with the dominant theology which characterized Europe led him to become a leader in the Confessing Church in Germany, which actively opposed Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime. In particular, Barth and other members of the movement vigorously attempted to prevent the Nazis from taking over the existing church and establishing a state church controlled by the regime. This culminated in Barth's authorship of the Barmen Declaration, which fiercely criticized Christians who supported the Nazis.One of the most prolific and influential theologians of the twentieth century, Barth emphasized the sovereignty of God, particularly through his reinterpretation of the Calvinistic doctrine of election, the sinfulness of humanity, and the "infinite qualitative distinction between God and mankind". His most famous works are his The Epistle to the Romans, which marked a clear break from his earlier thinking, and his massive thirteen-volume work Church Dogmatics, one of the largest works of systematic theology ever written.

You've heard his music on tv shows like Parenthood, Suits, Nashville, The Hills, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. You've heard his songs sung by artists like Kelly Clarkson, Johnny Lang, Mat Kearney, Brandon Heath, and Point of Grace just to name a few. Now you get to hear him in this episode of Voices In My Head, the official Podcast of Rick Lee James. We are so happy to welcome phenomenal singer and songwriter Michael Logen to the show this week.

This weeks guest is Brian L Powell. We played guitar together, shared some laughs, talked about the pluses and minuses of social media and had a great conversation on being missIonal.

On this episode of Voices In My Head I am joined by Pastor Dave Dooley of Kenton Ohio. Dave has an amazing story to tell about a miracle God recently worked the life of His church. You really need to hear this story of how God provides.

This episode of voices in my head was once again recorded on the road while I was out on to her. This is a prayer episode, in fact I will be leading you in prayer in this episode using the morning prayer guide from Brian Zahnd's book, water to wine. I hope you will take time and pray along with me whether you are driving, working out, or whatever you may be doing while listening to a podcast.

Lieutenant General Sir John Glubb in his essay "The Fate of Empires", examined the life cycle of empires and found remarkable similarities between them all. (Guess which age we are in). That's what this episode is all about as I drive from Ohio to West Virginia podcasting as I go from gig to gig.

This episode was recorded on the road after a viewing of the movie, Suicide Squad. I share my thoughts on the film and tell about seven news both for the podcast and for me professionally as a musician. This episode was recorded completely from my iPhone as a way of experimenting with new recording software. I hope you enjoy it.
