Podcast appearances and mentions of john sowers

Leitura bíblica do dia: Mateus 6:5-13 Plano de leitura anual: Jó 32–33; Atos 14; John Sowers, no seu livro Fatherless Generation (Geração sem pai), afirmou que “Nenhuma geração sentiu tanto a ausência voluntária de um pai como esta, com 25 milhões de crianças crescendo em lares monoparentais”. Eu mesmo, se tivesse esbarrado com o meu pai na rua, não o teria conhecido. Os meus pais se divorciaram quando eu era muito novo, e as fotos dele foram queimadas. Durante anos, senti-me órfão. Aos 13, ouvi a oração do Pai Nosso (Mateus 6:9-13) e disse a mim mesmo: “Você pode não ter um pai terreno, mas agora tem Deus como Pai celestial”. Em Mateus 6, somos ensinados a orar: “Pai nosso que estás no céu, santificado seja o teu nome” (v.9). “Ao orar, não repitam frases vazias sem parar”(v.7). Podemos questionar a conexão entre esses versículos. Percebi que, por Deus se lembrar do que ouve, não precisamos repetir. Ele compreende perfeitamente. Por isso, não precisamos lhe explicar. Ele tem um coração compassivo; não precisamos duvidar de Sua bondade. E porque Ele conhece o fim a partir do início, sabemos que o tempo dele é perfeito. Porque Deus é o nosso Pai, não precisamos usar “frases vazias” (v.7) para mover o Seu coração. Através da oração, conversamos com um Pai que nos ama e cuida de nós e nos tornou Seus filhos por meio de Jesus. Por:  Albert Lee

As we celebrate the origins of America with 4th of July events, it's a great time to reflect on the beauty of God's earth, the people He created, and the ways we are gifted to serve and be served by others. Amy Kennedy and David Degler are part of a ministry called A Christian Ministry in the National Parks, formed to meet the faith needs of national park employees while also helping visitors find the most beautiful manifestations of God's creation in the parks. John Sowers is an author who developed a love for writing when his grandmother wrote him weekly letters while he was away at college. He carried that legacy forward by writing special letters to his daughters, which he shares in his latest book entitled Say All the Unspoken Things.    Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Past interview: Rick Steves Upcoming interview: Sara Gruber   A Christian Ministry in the National Parks Amy Kennedy David Degler  Olympic National Park Smoky Mountains National Park www.acmnp.com    John Sowers Say All the Unspoken Things www.johnsowers.com Interview Quotes: “That summer, I learned so much about who I was, what God was calling me to, how to love people, and just really opened my mind for a bigger world.” - Amy Kennedy “The heartbeat of [the ministry] is that we would provide a space for people to use the national parks landscape and the beauty that's there to reflect the love of this great Creator.” - Amy Kennedy “Our team members are intentionally working on their own leadership development while trying to be a great example of Christ in the place that they live, work, and serve.” - Amy Kennedy “I left that summer, and I realized what ministry should be. It's not sitting behind a pulpit and speaking to people that you never interact with. It's being a part of a community, showing up daily, interacting with them, getting to know them, and figuring out how to share Christ's love through your actions on the smallest level.” - Amy Kennedy “Writing to me has just been a real blessing and a real fulfilling thing that I feel like that's why I was put on the earth.” - John Sowers “I have a whole stack of these beautifully cursive written letters from my great-grandfather to my great-grandmother. And so it's been really neat to be from a family of letter writers and then get to carry on that tradition to write these letters to my daughters.“ - John Sowers “Do my friends know how much I love them? Am I holding on to grudges? Have I expressed my full heart to my children or to my spouse or parents? Have I said all the unspoken things to them?” - John Sowers “[When I lost my mother and grandmother] I had some really great friends who showed up for me and who helped point me to God and, in some ways, helped be the hands and feet of God to me.” - John Sowers ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel: Audio Playlist: https://bit.ly/2PrbuwH Video Playlist: https://bit.ly/2PsmEkJ What's Good?

Jonathan interviews dad and author John Sowers. Jonathan and Jon talk life, fatherhood, grief and leading as dads through unexpected change. John shares vulnerable thoughts and ideas from his new book Say All the Unspoken Things, in which he opens up in letter format, with urgency, sharing all the things he wants his daughters to know that are deep in his heart. John shares why writing and documenting our love and legacy can be so important for our children and our future generations.

Chrys and Shellie interview John Sowers about his new book, Say All the Unspoken Things. John wrote letters to his three daughters saying everything he wants them to know if something were to happen to him. You'll be encouraged and inspired to write your own letters to those you love.

We are blessed to welcome Dr. John Sowers onto the podcast to discuss his new book (release February 1, 2022) titled "Say All the Unspoken Things: A Book of Letters." In 2020, John started writing letters to his daughters after feeling an urgency to share his full heart with them, and to make sure he knew that he loved them, and to pass along the wisdom that he'd been given by others. John gives us more insight to the book so that Legacy Dads can continue to make an impact on their kids' lives.

John Sowers in his book Fatherless Generation writes that “No generation has seen as much voluntary father absence as this one with 25 million kids growing up in single-parent homes.” In my own experience, if I’d bumped into my father on the street, I wouldn’t have known him. My parents were divorced when I was very young, and all the photos of my dad were burned. So for years I felt fatherless. Then at age thirteen, I heard the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9–13) and said to myself, You may not have an earthly father, but now you have God as your heavenly Father. In Matthew 6:9 we’re taught to pray, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.” Previously verse 7 says not to “keep on babbling” when praying, and we may wonder how these verses are connected. Then I realized that because God remembers, we don’t need to repeat. He truly understands, so we don’t need to explain. He has a compassionate heart, so we don’t need to be uncertain of His goodness. And because He knows the end from the beginning, we know His timing is perfect. Because God is our Father, we don’t need to use “many words” (6:7) to move Him. Through prayer, we’re talking with a Father who loves and cares for us and made us His children through Jesus.
