A special episode of fun, family-friendly stories to get your new year off to a good start, told by world-renowned storytellers Steven James and Bob Stromberg.
We're made in the image and likeness of God. God speaks to us through his creations, but if the knowledge in our head doesn't get to our hearts, then that knowledge is never going to make any difference in our life. Without good communication, this Holy, creative, miraculous, mysterious collaboration that we have, falls apart. And when it falls apart, we never realize who we are made to be. Scripture: Psalm 19
Spiritual death is not knowing Jesus as your Lord and Savior. God wants us to take him to spiritually dead people. He wants us to roll away the stones so that he can speak the words to their heart and give them spiritual life. Scripture: John 11
How do we become emotionally aware? How do we wake up? God invites us to collaborate with him through our creative spirit. It's there that he speaks to our heart saying, “I have something for you. Listen to me. I'm speaking to your mind. I'm putting a thought in your mind.” God speaks to whomever he wishes whenever he wishes. Scripture: Luke 12
The process of finding yourself in the Bible has several steps. First we must enter the story, then we must make the story our own. Next we need to reflect on the good news of the story and, finally, we must give the story a meaningful name to us. Scripture: Mark 2: 1-12
Have you ever observed geese flying in a V formation? The head goose shields the wind and all the rest are carried by him with very little effort on the part of any one bird. Often we strive for self-sufficiency, like an eagle or hawk, but God made us more like the goose. He wants us to follow behind him and share in communion with each other.
January 25, 2020 | Congressman Mark Walker, Bob Stromberg, Sandi Patty | HUCKABEE by Huckabee
On this final Sunday of Advent, anticipating God’s putting on human flesh to dwell among us, we’ll experience first-hand some of the fruits of that incarnation. Filled with the Presence of this indwelling God, members of our congregation will offer us gifts that have sprung from their own Spirit-saturated creativity. In addition to Mark Collier’s message about shepherds and joy, inviting us to “make space for wonder and awe and running across muddy fields to meet our Savior,” Spencer Grimes has composed a song for us, Paul McLellan brings a faith story, Bob Stromberg will do the reading, and the entire McLellan family will light the final Advent candle. Our entire service this Sunday is a demonstration of Revelation’s promise that “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among humankind, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them,” filling and equipping His people for His mission of joy into the world.

Awaken Your Creativity! "What's that?" you say. Is that even possible? If it is, how is that done? What if I'm not a creative person? What if I wasn't born with creativity? Can it be learned? ... These are a few of the many questions that you might be having as you read the title of this podcast shownotes. I would too if I were in your shoes. At times I too have some of those questions especially when I find myself looking around at "everyone" else seeing and hearing what they are doing. Some are crushing it with creativity or at least showing that side of their lives, which most people do. They are coming up with one idea after another and they all seem to be rocking. At least it appears that way. "What about me," I would think to myself. In this episode Bob shares some incredible stories of his journey and how now in his 60s, he's again making a career change of sorts. He shared an illustration that will make you agree that you do have creativity in you and how to awaken it.

Tim Grable of "The Grable Group" generously allows me to pick his brain in this episode. I want to know how comedians and speakers can make it EASY for booking agents to hire them. Tim's background as a talent booker stretches back to his days at Taylor University, where he turned around their live events in a big way within just a year. He was hired quickly after college to book speakers for events. Shortly thereafter he founded The Nashville Speakers Bureau, became President of Nashville Agency, and ultimately started The Grable Group. Tim utilizes a comprehensive background in business and entertainment sectors to locate and develop endorsements, licensing, and film and TV resources. Tim exclusively represents a handful of clients, including comedians Taylor Mason, Bob Stromberg, Jeff Allen, Daren Streblow, Thor Ramsey, and rePercussion - a Drumming Comedy Show. In this episode I asked him specifically about: Making the transition from booking bands to speakers and comedians Ways to get on an agent's "radar" What are things performers do that make it hard to book them?
