  • Wayfarer Weekend Podcast: Dr. Bob Laurent

    The night I made the life-changing decision to become a follower of Jesus, Dr. Bob Laurent was preaching. A bit further down the road, Dr. Bob was my professor. Bob is my friend, and one of my most cherished mentors. At the age of 75, Dr. Bob has more passion than ever for being a follower of Jesus, a student of the Great Story, and he continues to passionately preach Jesus’ truth and love.

    This week, my Wayfarer Weekend podcast is a phone conversation Dr. Bob in which we discuss topics from preaching to life and to the meta-lessons Bob has observed and learned in over 50 years of preaching and teaching.

  • That’s Qadosh
    I confess that “holy” is a word, and a spiritual concept, that I failed to fully understand, or flat out got wrong, for most of my journey.

  • Faith in the Fire
    Following Jesus is a faith journey because it requires me to find assurance in hope that isn’t readily apparent in my present circumstances.

  • Unseen Choices
    I couldn't help but notice this morning that David's faith, hope, trust, and praise are not the result of his circumstances. David is choosing them despite his circumstances, the same way he always has.

  • Another Choice
    The Kingdom of God is not like the kingdoms of this world, and it requires the eyes and ears of my heart to see and hear beyond the simplistic choices fed to me by this world.

  • God Friended Me
    In my experience, clergy across the various denominations, and even religions, are all lumped together in the minds of most people. Either they aren't sure what to call you, or they simply use whatever word they know from their own experience. And yet, there are major differences in both meaning and role.
