Podcast appearances and mentions of kris emerson

What happens when good things take God's place in our lives? In this conversation with Kris Emerson, we pull back the curtain on idolatry, revealing its subtle forms in the 21st century. We discuss how finances, family, and even our own righteousness can become idols if we're not careful, and how easily we can replace God's plan with our own. Ultimately, we explore the challenge and freedom of surrendering to His will.Seven Key Takeaways:Idolatry is anything that replaces God: It's not just about physical idols; anything we prioritize over God becomes an idol. As Jesus said, "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." (Matthew 6:24)  Modern idolatry is often subtle: We may not bow down to statues, but we can still prioritize comfort, security, or control over God.Idolatry can stem from good things: Even good things like family or financial security become idols if we place them above God. Our own righteousness can be an idol: Pride in our goodness can lead us to replace God's judgment with our own. Idolatry is often rooted in impatience: We may turn to idols when we lack the patience to trust in God's timing. Surrender is essential to combating idolatry: We must surrender our desires and control to God. God's power is limitless: True faith recognizes God's power and provision.Twelve Quotes:"Idolatry is when you find those things in places that are not God." - Kris Emerson"He is the one-stop shop. He is going to provide for every deficiency and hole in our lives." - Kris Emerson"Sometimes your idols have to fail you in order for you to recognize that you've been putting your future, your daily peace in the wrong places." - Kris Emerson"Idolatry is more than just replacing God with something else, it's replacing the will and the way of God with something that is designed to fit me, not designed to glorify Him." - Kris Emerson"It really boils down to either God rules or you rule." - Kris Emerson"Be careful replacing God, yes. Be careful creating your own path to God, yes. But be careful becoming God." - Kris Emerson"You put him in his place and life will be as good as it's ever gonna get." - Kris Emerson"I sure am putting a lot of faith in that 403B." - Kenny Embry"There's a lot of insurance that if it's real or if it's not real, I'd like that insurance." - Kenny Embry"I like being right, Emerson...I like being on the right side of history." - Kenny Embry"The older brother...was basically resting on his righteousness...he worshiped his dad's stuff more than he worshiped his dad." - Kenny Embry"He promises that he will take care of us, but we don't get to dictate the terms that we're taking care of." - Kenny EmbryFour Applications:Reflect on your own life: Take time to examine your heart and actions. What are you prioritizing? Are there any areas where you need to surreSupport the show

Many Christians struggle to understand the relationship between God's grace, our faith, and living a life of good works. Do we earn salvation by our righteous deeds? Does God's grace mean we don't have to work at all? In this episode, Wes McAdams interviews Kris Emerson about this important topic. They discuss common pitfalls like pride, burnout, and discouragement that happen when we don't understand the grace of God. The post Studying Grace, Faith, and Works with Kris Emerson appeared first on Radically Christian.

This week Kris Emerson and Phil Robertson are addressing the topic of youth. Both have extensive experience with young people; in fact, as this episode premieres, Kris and the church in Lindale have just concluded a weekend especially targeting the needs of young Christians. In this conversation we discuss a book all three of us have read — a book written by young people for young people (and their parents), encouraging us all to set the bar high — the higher the better. Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas. He is the host of the Citizen of Heaven podcast. You are encouraged to seek him and the Lakewoods Drive church through Facebook and other social media.

“Remember your Creator in the days of your youth.” I lost track of how many times Solomon's words from Ecclesiastes 12:1 were drilled into my head as a child by people whose youth had been long since lost. Most of my friends — the ones who were listening, anyway — seemed to think the message was, “Make sure you don't have too much fun.” I'm quite sure that isn't what Solomon meant; it's not what I mean when I said similar things to my daughters. But what do we mean? What does it mean to remember your Creator, and how can young people do it?Check out Kris at www.excelstillmore.lifeCheck out Phil at knowmyjesus.comHal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas.

For this episode, I'm reading the book of Romans. If you're listening in real time, this corresponds to Kris Emerson's chapter a day group. The book itself is complex, but you see several themes woven together, and the idea of unity permeates the entire book. Again, I am reading from the World English Bible translation.Support the show

So what are some of the challenges of grace? In this episode, I talk with two friends, David Osteen and Kris Emerson abotu how to conceptualize grace, and what are some of the "ditches" we should watch out for.Support the show

We're back with the rest of my conversation with Kris Emerson and Terry Francis; if you missed the first part, do yourself a favor and check it out. In this section I bring up the idea of the “authentic swing” from “The Legend of Bagger Vance” (which I consider to be bogus — both the concept and the book), and then ask how true to our individual nature we should try to be. Then I turn to my poor efforts to teach chess to my daughter and use that to discuss how adept we must be to take on a coaching role. Hal Hammons is the preacher for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas.

When I decided to put together an episode on coaching, I wanted to get two preachers who knew the topic — from both a sports perspective and a church perspective. I definitely got the right men. Kris Emerson is the preacher for the church of Christ in Lindale, Texas, and the host of the Excel Still More podcast. Terry Francis preaches for the church of Christ in Chelsea, Alabama, and partners with Phillip Martin to host the Do The Work live stream on Facebook. Timothy had Paul. Paul had Barnabas. We all have mentors, and we should all be mentors to others. That's the way we keep the gospel alive and vibrant for succeeding generations.

Most of us go through seasons where we struggle to connect with God in prayer. These are not just difficult seasons; they are dangerous times for the man of God. It is only through prayer that we connect to the power of God to help us win our spiritual battles and deal with the spiritual realities behind our fight of faith.

Is the internet the irresistible and desirable future for the church, or is it the church’s doom? What are “social influencers,” who are they influencing, and for what purpose?We cover this and more in the second half of my conversation with Kris Emerson and Dr. Kenny Embry.

Kenny is an associate professor of communication at Saint Leo University in Saint Leo, Florida, and hosts the “Balancing the Christian Life” podcast.

Well...this was a conversation with four guys I think are doing excellent work in light of Covid. Edwin Crozier, Kris Emerson, Jason Hardin and Mark McCrary. Three of these guys are past guests. I just wanted to know how they reacted to Covid and putting together something they could use to help their members still feel connected.This is very frank, and I so appreciate the vulnerability they express. We're all figuring this out, and I worked hard to find a couple guys who have been doing this for awhile, another who is has been doing this a shorter time, and one who is essentially brand new.I'll say it again, I know and love these guys and I think they are talking about important things.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/balancingthechristianlife)

Megan from the Wild Healers podcast asks, "Is it possible for an independent podcast to make it into the Apple New and Noteworthy section?"Special thanks to Kris Emerson, host of the Excel Still More podcast, for sharing his experience getting into the New and Noteworthy section.TL;DRThe Apple Podcasts New and Noteworthy section is a common goal for new podcasters. The appeal is that if you can get your podcast listed there, you'll be able to grow your audience faster, build momentum, and ride that wave off into the sunset of your podcasting dreams.So... how exactly do you get in? In this episode, we'll share what we know and ask Kris, a fellow Buzzsprout podcaster, what he did to land in the New and Noteworthy section.What's the best strategy?The best way to get into the Apple New and Noteworthy section is to focus on getting a lot of listeners to subscribe to your show in Apple Podcasts in a short period of time. As a new podcast, your window to make this happen is typically 90 days from when you launch your first episode.At one point, many podcasters believed that it was the number of downloads or reviews you received that got you in the N&N section. But over time, as we've seen podcasters try and game the system, we've found that those aren't big indicators.Apply isn't spilling the beans on their process any time soon, but we DO know that an algorithm based on how many subscribers you get feeds possible selections to an Apple employee who ultimately determines how makes it in and who doesn't.Record your podcasting question at Speakpipe.com/Buzzsprout to be featured on a future episode.Review Podcasting Q&A in Podchaser to let us know what you think of the show.

We will discuss the myth of “priorities.” Thinking we can balance commitments to money and the Lord is wrongheaded, and doomed to tip to the wrong side.We will discuss Barbarians at the Gate, a book that details the buyout of RJR Nabisco. When making money is the only objective, there’s no limit to how insane the behavior can get.We will discuss professional athletes and their contracts. Measuring men by their wallets is par for the course in sports. That’s not the kind of role model we need these days.We will discuss London, a board game in which you are forced to balance a growing economy with the real problems that it creates. Turns out, more prosperity is not necessarily better.

I have been preaching … about making plans. If you can plan for a family vacation or a comfy retirement, why not also plan to grow your faith?I have been reading … Psalm 88, arguably the saddest chapter in the Bible. But even though the psalm doesn’t say so, there is a reason for your suffering. In fact, there may be several.I have been hearing … Game of Thrones is done after 8 seasons — and unlike some Christians, I actually think that’s a good thing. I have been playing … The Voyages of Marco Polo, and it makes me wonder whether superheroes ever get jealous of one another.
