This Sunday, we are joined by Michael White, Pastor of Freedom Church - a Pillar Network Church, in Lincolnton, North Carolina. This standalone sermon is from 1 Corinthians 13:4.Working Definition of love:To love others we must suffer long with them and do them good.1. What is love?“Love is primarily giving. It's an action that leads to a feeling, not a feeling first.”- Tim Keller2. What is patience?And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. 1 Thessalonians 5:14I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service,  though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. 1 Timothy 1:12-163. What is kindness?A. Kindness in our minds and heartsB. Kindness in our motivesC. Kindness in mature confrontationFaithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy. Proverbs 27:6…do you despise the riches of his kindness, restraint, and patience, not recognizing that God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance? Romans 2:4 (CSB)The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. Psalm 103:8Life Church exists to glorify God by making disciples who treasure Christ, grow together, and live on mission.

Police say a man was arrested after he rammed into six migrant farm workers outside a Walmart in Lincolnton on Sunday afternoon. Lincolnton police responded to a reported crash at the Walmart on North Generals Boulevard around 1:15 p.m. Sunday. Detectives said a man driving a black SUV turned as if he was going to park near a bus, but instead of parking, the driver plowed into a group of migrant workers who were standing outside the store. Six people were taken to the hospital for their injuries and have now been released, according to police. Police said 20 to 30 people were on a grocery run when the six were hit, though it's not clear how many people were standing outside the store at the time of the incident. READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/crime/police-searching-for-driver-who-intentionally-hit-six-workers-at-walmart-in-lincolnton-north-carolina/275-e1c9e868-95a3-4039-bcac-4642ef7c02c6A South Carolina judge denied bond for the woman charged with driving drunk and killing a Charlotte bride on her wedding night in Folly Beach earlier this year.

Coach Jason Allison shares his journey from growing up in Lincolnton, North Carolina to becoming a NCAA D1 men's basketball coach. He was a student-athlete at Liberty University and began his coaching career at Lynchburg Christian Academy. Coach Allison went onto coach at Lees-McRae College, Gaston Day School, and King College prior to joining the coaching staff at VMI. Allison spent nine seasons in Lexington working under Coach Duggar Baucom as the Associate Coach/Recruiting Coordinator. During his tenure at VMI, he helped lead the Keydets to three appearances in the Big South Tournament title game and to the semifinals of the 2014 CollegeInsider.com Tournament. Known for their high-octane offense, VMI led the nation in scoring six times. The Keydets eclipsed the 20-win plateau twice in Allison's nine seasons with the program, a feat that VMI achieved just three times in the 97 years prior. Coach Jim Fox hired him to be on his coaching staff at Appalachian State and spent his first four seasons as App State as an Assistant Coach, before being promoted to Associate Head Coach for the 2018-19 season. After Dustin Kerns was named the new Head Coach, Allison remained on staff as the Special Assistant to the Head Coach in 2019-20. In 2020 Coach Allison took over the men's golf program at App State and had great success. This past June he was named the Chief of Staff for Men's Basketball at Drexel under Coach Zach Spiker. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/beyondtheboxscore/support

Reality Leigh Winner (born December 4, 1991)[5] is an American former enlisted US Air Force member and intelligence specialist. In 2018, she was given the longest prison sentence ever imposed for unauthorized release of government information to the media[6] after she leaked an intelligence report about Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.[7] She was sentenced to five years and three months in federal prison.[8]On June 3, 2017, while employed by the military contractor Pluribus International Corporation, Winner was arrested on suspicion of leaking an intelligence report about Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections from the National Security Agency (NSA) to the news website The Intercept. The report indicated that Russian hackers accessed voter registration rolls in the United States with an email phishing operation, though it was unclear whether any changes had been made.[9]Concerns were raised that The Intercept's handling of the material exposed her as the source and contributed to her arrest.[10] Twice denied bail, Winner was held at the Lincoln County Jail in Lincolnton, Georgia.[11] On August 23, 2018, Winner was convicted of "removing classified material from a government facility and mailing it to a news outlet" and sentenced to five years and three months in prison as part of a plea deal.[12] She was incarcerated at the Federal Medical Center, Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas, and released to a transitional facility on June 2This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement

As a firefighter, you have probably developed some strong opinions on at least a few topics.Some people call them “the hill you're willing to die on.” But no matter what you call them, you need to pick your battles when it comes to spouting off about these points of view.My guest today wrote an article about his experiences fighting the smooth bore vs. fog nozzle debate. He finally realized, years later, that he wasn't going to change peoples' minds, and, more importantly, he didn't need to. Water will get on the fire either way.That's when he decided to start thinking about issues that do have an impact, things that should maybe be changed for a good reason.Philip Clark works as a full-time firefighter with the Lincolnton, North Carolina Fire Department. Phil joined the fire service in 2002 as a volunteer and has worked for several volunteer and combination departments since then. He lives in Dallas, North Carolina, and is a captain for the Town of Dallas Fire Department.

There's no better way to celebrate Park and Recreation Month than by highlighting the people who faithfully serve their communities all year long. In this podcast, we are excited to share with you insights from John Davis, Lincoln County Parks and Recreation Director about the parks and recreation field. John, a Lincolnton native, spent eight years doing youth educational recreational programming for the Burke County Cooperative Extension and joined Lincoln County in 2015. The City of Lincolnton and Lincoln County, through a joint process, recently created updated comprehensive parks and recreation master plans that exemplify how parks and recreation professionals are rising up to promote health and well-being, protect the environment, and offer inclusive options for play by building a plan with the engagement of their community. By assisting with planning efforts like this, McGill is shaping communities together.

James Marlow, the new President of  Southface Institute joins the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to talk about Southface, the importance of the EarthCraft program, sustainable development and upcoming 2022 news. Marlow joins host Carol Morgan on the All About Real Estate segment. A Georgia native, Marlow grew up in the little town of Lincolnton, settled between Athens and Augusta. An Atlanta resident since 1986, Marlow possesses an extensive travel background to support his career in technology, working with big names such as IBM, Yahoo and Lotus Development. A Co-Founder of Radiance Solar, Marlow conducted solar installations across the Southeast and beyond during his time as CEO. While possessing a colorful resume that spans several decades, Southface Institute was a part of Marlow's life long before became president. While still a resident in Lincolnton, Marlow wrote the company requesting additional information about solar energy to feed his growing interest in sustainability. Following his move to Atlanta and through his relationship with Southface, Marlow received his first exposure to LED lightbulbs, electric vehicles, energy-efficient appliances, advanced recycling and more. Southface Institute also hosted the very first Atlanta BeltLine public meeting. Marlow said, “Southface Institute is a thought-leader and an innovator, a convener and a connector of new technologies and ways to save money and also reduce your environmental impact, energy and water consumption and your waste.” EarthCraft is a building standard to help builders improve the air quality, energy use and energy conservation in a home, business or multi-family facility. The program was created and developed through a partnership with the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association to ensure EarthCraft was grounded in sciences and economics while positively working for both environmentalists and home builders. The program's ultimate goal is to produce healthy, happy and high-performance constructions while keeping in mind life-cycle costs, potential energy requirements and more. The investments made on the front end will save owners money over course of the construction's life while also significantly reducing potential energy and environmental costs. Marlow said, “EarthCraft builders are people who really know what they're doing. They go to training and send their staff to train and are always keeping abreast of new technologies and ways of doing things.” While a popular buzzword with many people, sustainability has been a part of the Southface Institute business practice for over 40 years. Treating it as a core value and a part of the company ethos, the systems thinkers at Southface Institute consistently consider how the complex systems of a home, building or affordable housing unit work together. This spans the mechanics, lighting and electricity of a construction. When constructed to EarthCraft standards, added aspects such as double-paned windows, LED lighting and water-conserving appliances lead to slight premiums during the initial home purchase but result in monumental savings throughout the construction's lifetime.  Tune in to the full interview above for more information about the EarthCraft program and Southface Institute or visit www.Southface.org.  Never miss an episode of Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio!

Avast ye, hearties! Jennie and Dianne take to the high seas to visit the world's only known pirate cemetery hidden away on Ile  Sainte Marie, a thin strip of land off Madagascar's northeast coast, where for more than a hundred years thousands of pirates called this place home when they weren't out plundering for booty. Then the ladies batten down the hatches and head back to America to the coast of North Carolina where they visit three mysterious graves that possibly belong to pirates? And further inland what is said to be the grave of one of the world's most infamous pirates who possibly faked his own death to escape his life of crime, Jean Lafitte.  Dead men tell no tales...or do they, on this episode of the Ordinary Extraordinary Cemetery podcast.Resources used to research this episode include:, mysendoff.com.

In this touching episode you will hear the interview I did with missing Jane Bui's children. They speak about what life is like living without their precious mom for so many years. The not knowing is the worst for Janette and Anthony. My heart hurts for both of them and for Jane.“Closure would help heal my family's souls and be able to actually celebrate her life and be more comfortable to know than not to know anything”.~Anthony Bui speaking about the disappearance of his mom, Jane Bui “I have experienced so much pain wondering what happened to my mom, if she is alive or not. There are days when I wished she was here to talk to or have a shoulder to cry on or ask advise. My children and my unborn grandchild do not get a chance to meet or experience having a grandmother or great grandmother. Not knowing where she is, is the toughest part of all of this and not having her around. We were very close and like best friends. There are so many emotions that I experience; sad, lonely, angry, hurt, and so much more.”~Janette Bui, Missing Jane Bui's daughter.The last time Janette saw her mom was on October 16, 1997.

We have a word for you from the heart of God! Joining us today is Pastor Mike Devine of Covenant Church in Lincolnton, NC. He served in the church as a youth pastor for over twelve years when the Lord called him to step aside. Pastor Devine made an idol of doing the Lord's work before first seeking after His face. Pastor Devine began a three-year journey as a middle school English teacher. During those three years, God dealt with the matters of his heart, and he learned more about God than his twelve years of youth ministry. That idol that once consumed his life was replaced with an intense focus on the true nature of God. He recently celebrated fifteen years of pastoring at Covenant Church. The Lord is moving so powerfully in the church, and Pastor Devine would like to share more of what God has placed on his heart for the church. Although we have lost so much during this pandemic, it has also been a blessing in disguise. It has given the church a chance to wake up and focus on seeking after the face of God instead of His hands for provision. God is looking for those who will lay aside their agendas to seek after His face with an open heart, allowing the Holy Spirit to move in their midst. It's time for the church to get ready; Jesus is coming! For more information about Pastor Mike Devine's ministry, Covenant Church, please visit www.covenantchurch.church.    The Orphans Hands is the heart of our ministry. We have a village of homes in Eastern Europe, Moldova, called Vatra Village for those of you who don't know. Many of these children have been kicked out of their homes by their loved ones and are left to fend for themselves. They're are subject to the risks of human trafficking. Upon coming into our homes, they learn to let go of the pain of the past and focus their gaze upon Jesus, the only one who can heal their hearts. They are now sons and daughters of Christ and have been given a second chance at life. We are currently in the process of getting another home ready to welcome fifteen more girls. That's fifteen more precious lives saved from the perils of a terrible life. We would like to show you a video of what your support helps do. We can't make it without the love of Jesus and the support of the church. Thank you for all your prayers and for reaching beyond your grasp to help those in need. For more information on how to support The Orphans Hands ministry, please visit www.theorphanshands.org.

Back Paddle Brewing brings craft beer to tiny Lincolnton, Georgia Back Paddle Brewing is a newer brewery in the small town of  Lincolnton, GA.  They are the first, and only, brewery in town and in an area that isn't exactly craft-focused.  Owner Kyle McCloud and Head Brewer Jason Slater spend time with their new customers educating them on craft beer but they still get plenty of people looking for something that "tastes like Bud Light." McCloud opened his brewery on a tight budget and built much of the space himself, including his brewhouse.  Without the budget for expensive, jacketed fermenters that would allowing cooling his beer to proper fermentation temperatures for most yeast he decided to brew with all kveik and Norwegian Farmhouse yeasts instead.  These unique yeasts are able to do their work at higher temperatures than most others.  Back Paddle offers many styles that you don't typically see using kveik, like an Imperial Stout and Scottish Ale.  We also discuss the brewery's mission to support his community through his #beer4good program and donate to veterans' organizations.  [caption id="attachment_47626" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Back Paddle Owner Kyle McCloud presents a check to The Fallen Outdoors Georgia Chapter as part of his #beer4good program.

Featured Guest Kim Campbell, Lincoln County EMS ManagerIn this episode, Kim Campbell, the Emergency Medical Services Manager for Lincoln County, talks about her background (she’s a Lincoln County local!) and what inspired her to go into EMS. She explains the differences in the roles of paramedic and EMT and shares what it’s like to help people who are in emergency situations. Listeners will get a real behind-the-scenes look at how first responders in Lincoln County collaborate in emergency situations. Kim explains how they all deal with stress and exposure to trauma, and she talks about all the continuing education that everyone in EMS completes each year. In addition to completing classes monthly, Kim talks about the roles she plays in the NC Association of EMS Administrators and the Lincoln County Substance Use Coalition. It is important for the public to know that many, many families have faced the disease of addiction, and the goal of the coalition is to offer resources, reduce stigma, provide education, and improve substance use services in Lincoln County. It really is about meeting the person where they are on their addiction journey and helping meet their needs. Kim also explains the safety procedures they’ve always had in place as well as the new ones put in place due to COVID. The biggest takeaway for listeners will be hearing how much passion Kim has for service and for her community and family.

Pod-Crashing Episode 61: Keeping It Local With Pete Kaliner Podcasts are no different than snowflakes. There are no two the same. They may resemble each other. The same intensions at hand. Probably the same listening audience. It’s still impossible to call them the same. Making each podcast unique are the captains running the ship. Their visions. Ambitions. Connections and reactions. All four play a huge role in shaping the final stages of how you want your podcast to grow. I prefer to stay completely away from local issues and sales probably because when I first leaped into this circle of podcast love, the pioneers leading the way in 2012 were hooked on how far we could reach without putting focus the local street. I was told to stop acting like a radio station. I still pick up on that vibe with the enormous amount of Podcast promoters doing all they can to score your business. Every letter and conversation clearly states how important it is to reach. They promise more new listeners, more sharing and longer term impact. Then I bump into fans and followers of Matt Burton from Lincolnton, NC and Pete Kaliner from Asheville. Both are super serving local. Matt with Hometown Radio and Pete with statewide politics. Which he believes is extremely important during these days of the massive numbers of those reaching. Both Matt and Pete capitalize on being local by giving their advertisers an opportunity to move product. Whereas my advertisers rely on promo codes and other methods of attracting listeners several hundred miles from the storefront.

Gone Fishing With Hank Parker (Part 1) - Hank ParkerGone Fishing With Hank Parker (Part 2) - Hank ParkerGone Fishing With Hank Parker (Part 3) - Hank ParkerFamilyLife Today® Radio Transcript  References to conferences, resources, or other special promotions may be obsolete. Hooked on Christ Guest:                        Hank Parker                                      From the series:       Gone Fishing with Hank Parker (Day 1 of 3)           Bob: Everybody in the little town where Hank Parker grew up knew that Hank's dad, Mo, was the town drunk. But he still had friends who never gave up on him, including one friend who dropped by the house one Saturday afternoon. Here's Mo Parker's son, Hank. Hank: He said, “Mo, I wanted to talk to you; but I see you've got Hank here with you. I‘m not going to bother your father/son time; but Mo, I want to leave you with one thought: “If you died today, where would you spend eternity?”  My dad was about half drunk. I heard him say later that he had drunk the rest of the bottle of alcohol and opened another one and could not get drunk enough to get that thought off his mind. Bob: This is FamilyLife Today for Wednesday, June 7th. Our host is the President of FamilyLife®, Dennis Rainey, and I'm Bob Lepine. We'll hear about the dramatic turnaround in Mo Parker's life; and we'll meet his son, Hank, today.  1:00 Stay with us. And welcome to FamilyLife Today. Thanks for joining us. So this is for real; right?—“the rod-and-reel answer to Michael Jordan,”—that's what it says right here. That's the guy we've got today? Dennis: I'm just telling you, Bob—there is a big difference in fishing with a true professional fisherman and just being a good amateur. Bob: Help our listeners understand, because some of them are not fishermen or fisherwomen. They've never been to a pond with a rod and a reel. They're going, “So you want me to listen to a guest who is a pro fisherman.” Dennis: Well, you're going to hear a compelling story of how the God of the universe created a young man to use for His purposes. But he didn't take the normal route to find that purpose. We are going to listen to Hank Parker's story today. Welcome to the broadcast, Hank. Hank: Well, it is certainly a privilege to be here.  2:00 I'm excited. Dennis: Yes; I thought Bob was actually going to ask you just about when you had me on your fishing show. Bob: I was going to get there, because he came back bragging about—[Laughter] Dennis: Oh, I was not bragging. Bob: He said, “I could do that. I could be just like Hank Palmer.” That's what he was telling us. [Laughter]  Dennis: No; I did not say that, Hank. I came back and I said, “There is a big difference between someone who has won the national championship of bass fishing twice and the rest of us who grew up on little lakes and streams around the country.” Bob: We should explain you have a television show, where you go—you take people fishing on your show; right? Hank: I had Dennis Rainey as a guest. How big is that? [Laughter] He did well. Let me tell you—he's being modest. Dennis: He took me to a fish hatchery. [Laughter] Hank: Yes; we were fishing in a great place, no doubt.  Dennis: Hank, I have to ask you this—you had an ambition, as a boy, at the age of 15. 3:00 Hank: Yes; I didn't have a lot of options. I was not an academic achiever—that is an absolute understatement. I don't know—when I was just a kid, I went fishing and just fell in love with it. It just mesmerized me. It was bigger than life itself to me. I started reading about these guys, who were making a living bass fishing; and I said: “That is me. That's what I'm going to do.” Dennis: I want to go back to a statement you just kind of slipped by. [Laughter] You said you were not an academic achiever. There was something taking place in you—you didn't understand until you became an adult, later on. Explain to our listeners what happened. Hank: Yes; I had dyslexia. The little school system I was in—we were in a little small town of Maiden, North Carolina—about 2,400 people I think. I may be off some there—but a very, very small town—just a little school. I don't know that any schools knew anything about dyslexia in 1958 or -9.  4:00 I just read everything backwards. The harder I tried, the worse it became. I felt like I was the dumbest guy in the world. My mom would sit down with me at times and really try to get me to buckle down and do my homework. The more I tried to really get it right, the more I got it wrong. I just felt stupid. Bob: Did you grow up with nobody believing in you? Hank: Pretty much I did. I had a very dysfunctional home. My dad was a drunk. My mother later—by the time I was probably in the third grade—by that time, my mom had really started taking medication for [depression]—antidepressants. She'd stay in the bed all the time. So pretty much after the time I was probably fourth/fifth grade on, I was kind of on my own. Dennis: —like into the wee hours of the night on your own. Hank: Yes; I would do whatever. My mom and my dad separated. My dad was a drunk / my mom finally got tired of that—she left. At that time, it was no adult supervision or guidance; or I didn't have to report to anyone.  5:00 Bob: And no spiritual direction in your life at that point? Hank: No; we had gone to church when I was a kid. We went to a church that was not really a Bible-basic church. I never heard the gospel until I was 16 years old. Dennis: You actually robbed vending machines to get cash to do what? Hank: To get money for whatever—to be able to go to a movie or just to have money to buy food or anything else. Dennis: I've got to ask you this question—I was really kind of praying about when to ask it: “Hank, what's the most courageous thing you've ever done in all your life?” Hank: I was speaking at a wild game dinner in Georgia—I am giving my testimony. I am a high school dropout—I never told that ever in public / my wife Martha did not even know that. I'm giving my testimony—the Holy Spirit says: “Tell them,”—I mean—   6:00 “You've come here—you're the Michael Jordan / you're the world champion—you're somebody; but they all think you are self-achieved. Tell them who you really are. Tell them really where I've brought you from. You're a high school dropout. You were mad at the world—you had a bad attitude. I gave you salvation, and grounded you, and gave you a life. I want you to tell that story.” I didn't want to tell it.  I'm going to tell you—people came to me in droves, saying: “No one knows. I've never told anybody. I've got a great job. I've got a good income,”—or whatever is going on in their life—“but I, too, dropped out of school.” God opened the floodgates that night. Most every time I give my testimony or do a wild game dinner, I clarify, from the beginning: “I am nobody. I am nothing. I am the son of a drunk that God used.  Even though I had no education, He gave me hope.  7:00 I realized, if the King of kings / the Creator of this universe loved me enough to die for me, I'm a pretty special guy. All this time that I felt like a dummy and a failure, the Lord of lords gave His life for me. [Emotion in voice] So, I'm a pretty special guy. I started believing in myself, not because of me, but because of Him. I started thinking about: “Let's don't worry about the past. There is no future in the past. The past is history. You can't go back and rewrite it. So what do we do now that we are where we are in our life? What do we do to improve our life?” From that point on, I thought: “My dad used to tell me, ‘We all cannot be everything we want to be; but we can all be faithful, and we can all be honest.' So let's start with that. Let's start with a basic foundation: “Here you are—a dishonest person.  8:00 “You're the biggest liar that ever exists—you're a crook / you have a horrible attitude. Let's fix all of that. Let's set our priorities straight. Let's start living our life and trying to become the Christian that God would like us to be to be a faithful witness.” From that point forward, it all just fell into place. It was not as if I got some great revelation and I decided, “Okay; here's my business plan for my life.” It was none of that at all—it was taking one day at a time with no earthly idea what I was doing. It was just being led by my conscience, which I later learned was the Holy Spirit that we receive with salvation. I started changing my life. I didn't set down with a plan: “Hey; I'm going to get saved and change my life.” The Bible says, “Old things are passed away. All things become new,”—that was total reality in my life.  9:00 Dennis: [Emotion in voice] Hank, I wept as you told that story; because we live in a culture that makes education sacred, like you're worth more. That is exactly the opposite of how you felt. You said you felt like you were a dummy—you were worthless/ didn't have value. I just thought: “Isn't that really fascinating how God takes us to our lowest point and that's where He redeems us? He takes us from that, and He can make you a new creature.”  Jesus Christ defeated death—He's alive today. What He did for you, as a 16-year-old young man, he can do for a listener, right now, who is listening to you, going, “You know, I have my own set of pride problems, my own deficiencies, and my own past that's lurking back there.” But people just need to hear what you just said, because He's alive—He redeems people / He forgives people who have failed. It's not some story out of some fantasy land. This is more real than this planet we're living on. 10:00 Hank: I think, when you're willing—and the Holy Spirit forced me to be willing / I didn't volunteer—I was drafted to tell my story. [Laughter] I think once you put that robe of humility on, people will come to you that have all sorts of problems. I've heard lots and lots of problems. I'm sure there's millions and millions of problems, but there's one answer—that's what's cool. Bob: So, a 16-year-old dyslexic dropout, son of an alcoholic father and a mom who is on antidepressants hears the gospel. What were the circumstances around which you heard the gospel? Hank: My grandfather, on my mother's side, was what we would call wealthy. He was lower middle class; but we were so dirt poor, he was very wealthy to us. My grandfather had sent my dad to rehab, after rehab, after rehab. My dad was named Mo.   11:00 I heard my grandfather say that ”Mo Parker will go to rehab, stay three weeks, be home two days, and be drunk again. He is absolutely hopeless. He's going to live a drunk, and he's going to die a drunk.”  My dad, when I was 16 years old—my mom and dad were separated—I was in our home with my dad when a guy came by to see us one Saturday. He said, “Mo, I wanted to talk to you; but I see you have Hank here with you. I'm not going to bother your father/son time; but Mo, I want to leave you with one thought: ‘If you died today, where would you spend eternity?'” My dad was about half drunk. It was about 11:00 in the morning—my dad was about half drunk. I heard him say later that he had drunk the rest of the bottle of alcohol that he had in the house and opened another one and could not get drunk enough to get that thought off his mind. The next day was Sunday. He called the same man that came by our home and asked for a ride to church. He left our home about 11:00 one Sunday morning, a drunk.  12:00 He came back in, about 1:00 to 1:30, a saint. My dad started talking to me about Jesus, and giving me the gospel, and giving me a gospel tract every time I moved. He desperately wanted his boys—my brother and I—to be saved more than anything in the world. That was his whole desire in his life was that his two boys would be saved. Bob: Do you remember that Sunday afternoon at 1:30 when your dad comes back in the house and says, “Something happened this morning”? Hank: Well, yes; I do. I remember him saying, “Boys, I got saved.” I had no clue on the face of this earth what that meant. I thought: “Okay; he's found religion. There have been times that he's gone to these rehab centers and focus groups and he's come home and stayed sober for a whole week. So maybe he'll set the record this time. Maybe he'll stay sober two or three weeks—he's found religion.” I didn't know what that meant. It took time for me watching him to see that this transformation, that was so unbelievable, was real.  13:00 He turned our whole little community upside down—hundreds of people. There was revival like you would not believe. I'm not saying it was all because of his salvation. There was a church—people would pull over on the side of the road and get saved in the parking lot. I mean, it was just crazy—I mean, not even on a worship day / it was just so dramatic. After a period of time, my mom came home. She cleaned up her life for a period of time. I mean, it was a whole different world. It was very obvious, in a short period of time: “This thing is for real. My dad is for real.”  I loved my dad—I thought it was great that he was saved, and it changed his life. He needed a dramatic salvation experience. I'm now beyond my breaking in stores. I've stepped it up—I'm now focused on fishing—so all of that bad stuff is in my rearview mirror / I'm now a good guy.  14:00 I don't need a dramatic salvation experience, and it's irritating me that my dad keeps insisting that I do. So, I had now got—in a very short period of time / probably six or seven months—I'm on defense now instead of rejoicing. Dennis: He just kept coming after you. Hank: He turned up the heat. Dennis: He prayed for you—he prayed for you every day, and he told you he was doing that too. Hank: Oh, yes; all the time, he would put gospel tracts in my socks. He would put them in my dry storage. He'd roll them up in my rain suit in my boat. He'd put them in my tackle box. He'd have them on the dash of my car. Any creative place you could find to put a gospel tract—he had one. [Laughter]  Dennis: So share with our listeners what it took to get your attention, because this is one amazing story.  Hank: My dad—he stayed consistent, and it broke all fellowship. I wouldn't hang around him very long at all. We didn't go fishing together any more—it just got too intense. I had gotten to the point that he drew that line in the sand and we could not have fellowship unless I would receive Christ.  15:00 So, we were pretty alienated. He was devastated by it—I didn't realize how devastated—but he was devastated by the decision that both my brother and I had made that we just weren't going to hang around our dad. We avoided him at all costs.  He went with a group of men from New Life Baptist Church in Lincolnton, North Carolina, to White City, Kansas, to build a youth home in 1975 over the 4th of July holiday. My dad got saved in 1970—so this is five years later. My dad loved to cut up—he had a sense of humor like you would not believe—he was one funny guy. When they got to White City, Kansas, all the deacons and all the men there from the church—my dad was always an entertainer—he wasn't entertaining / he was in a different mood.  The preacher had stayed back home and preached on Sunday—so he didn't get there until Monday. All the men told the preacher immediately— 16:00 —they said: “There's something wrong with brother Mo. I don't know what it is, but I've never seen him in this mood. I don't know if he's sick / I don't know what's going on, but something's wrong.” Well, my dad and his pastor had become best friends in the five years my dad had been saved—so they roomed together. That night, his pastor asked him, “Mo, what in the world is wrong with you?” He said, “You know, pastor, my boys have just—they ignore the gospel.” He said: “I've prayed for them. I've witnessed to then. I've given then gospel tracts. I've done everything I know to do.”  My dad was so smart with me—he would never argue with me. I can never remember my dad arguing. I'd always want to argue the Scripture, and he would let me talk. I would say certain things—he would say, “Well, son, let's go back and see what the Bible says about that.” And he would refer to Scripture—so he had me arguing with God—so it was very uncomfortable.  He said: “I have tried every way / everything I know.” He said, “I don't know what to do.” His pastor said, “Well, Mo, let's just keep praying.”  17:00 So that night, before they turned the lights out, my dad said, “You know, pastor, I would gladly give my life if my boys would be saved.” That was the last thing he said that night. When they loaded up to come back, there were seven men in a van. There was an accident—one man was killed, and it was my dad. He had left a note in his Bible. The pastor was just reading the footnotes, and flipping through the Bible, and he found a note my dad had written—it said: “Pastor if you find this note before I am buried, I have one final request and it is—instead of you preaching a traditional funeral service at my funeral—that you would preach the gospel. I have two boys that are lost and that may be the last time, this side of eternity, they hear the gospel.” I got saved at my dad's funeral. [Emotion in voice] My brother did too. [Laughter] All has been different—the sky has never been so blue, the air has never smelt so fresh, and I never knew what it was like to be set free.  18:00 I'd never ever in my whole life measured up. I'd never been good enough for anything. All of a sudden, I'm free—I didn't know what that was like—it was so incredible. It's more incredible, 40 years later, than it was when it happened. Amazing what God can do! Dennis: And to the person, who is listening right now, who goes, “That's me!” Tell them what he needs to do—or her. Hank: Bury it all—give it to Him—He's there, waiting. No matter who you've been, how bad you've been, what you've been through—I said earlier there's a million problems, but there's one answer. I can't believe, with all the bondage and the pit that I was in, in just a matter of opening my heart and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide me to accept Jesus Christ— 19:00 —I cannot imagine how all of that bondage to chains was broken in just the blink of an eye. People said: “Well, you're emotional. It was your father's funeral. You're making an irrational decision based on bereavement and circumstances. It won't last.” That was in 1975, and it is greater today than it was then.  Dennis: And you use every opportunity you have to tell others about that Savior. Hank: I'd like to say that, from the very moment I got saved, I hit the path and all I did was preach the gospel. But I lived a very selfish period of my life, and I did a lot of things.  About 15 years ago or so—I circled the wagons, and I realized what is truly important in this world. I've made friends / I've won world championships.  20:00 I've made lots of money that I never thought—beyond what I ever dreamt could happen in my life. The realization came to me, through a set of circumstances, that it's not what you have—it's not outside / it's not circumstances—it's in your heart / it's the peace. I've served Jesus for a lot of years, kind of because I did it the way I thought you were supposed to do it. The last 15 years, I've served him out of pure love—I know how much He loves me. I'm telling you—there's no hope outside of Jesus Christ. People say,” Well, this world's corrupt / this worlds fallen down.” It doesn't matter what condition the world's in—it's been this way—and that's why Jesus came to the earth.  Dennis: We're going to talk more about that; but he may be a world champion bass fisherman, Bob—he won that twice—but he's more of an evangelist than anything else.  21:00 That was clear after spending a couple of days with Hank as we went fishing together a little over a year ago. Bob: I hope our listeners get a chance to see the video. I know it's running on the Outdoor Channel, off and on. If folks would like more information about Hank, and his fishing, and what he's doing, we have a link to his website at FamilyLifeToday.com. You can find out more about where you're speaking in different locations and just about what you're up to these days.  You know, as we've talked about the family dynamic and your dad's impact in your life, I was thinking about dads I've talked to who have taken time to get together with their sons—and maybe other dads and sons—and all of them go through the Stepping Up® video series together. A lot of the dads I have talked to, who have done that, have come back and just said it was a great study to go through together—father and son—just being honest with each other / transparent with what's going on in your life—  22:00 —the challenges you face, as a man—helping initiate your sons into adulthood / into manhood. I hope that we've got listeners who, this summer, will make that a priority—some father/son time—maybe with other fathers and sons—go through the Stepping Up video series.  There's information about the series on our website at FamilyLifeToday.com. You can order the videos and the workbooks from us; or if you have any questions, give us a call at 1-800-FL-TODAY. We have a team of folks who would love to answer any questions you have and help you get set up to have a father/son Stepping Up group during the summer months.  You know, listening to your story today, Hank, I'm reminded that all of us have deficits in our background—all of us look back with regret on some of the events of our lives. The good news of the gospel is that God provides forgiveness and redemption.  23:00 He transforms our lives so that we can be trophies of His grace. Our goal, here, at FamilyLife is to make sure that that message is loud and clear—to every mom/dad, husband/wife—everyone, who looks at their family situation and says, “There was a lot of brokenness here.”That's God's specialty—to step in and fix the brokenness through the power of the gospel.  You know, we are grateful for listeners who share our burden to see every home become a godly home. Those of you who support the ministry of FamilyLife Today with donations, we are so thankful for your participation in this ministry.

The Community of Grace: Day to day life in a curbside community in Oakland May 3, 2019 Homelessness is rising dramatically in the Bay Area, but usually communities are covered by the news only when there's a crisis – only when there's a fire, or an eviction – some kind of crisis that throws the people who live there into conflict with city officials.

Our long-form reporter, Lucy Kang, spent more than two months visiting, recording interviews, and learning the rhythms of daily life at one place called the Community of Grace: the rules they live by, how it enforces them, how people wound up there, and where they hope to get to in the future.

Hebrews 12:1-2 KJV Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, (2) Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (Matthew 22:34-40 KJV)

Join Devin and Melissa Pellew each week at they discuss topics related to biblical theology, Christian apologetics and worldview issues. This week, we will be discussing "Decision Making and the Will of God". Does God have a specific will for His children? How are we to discern God's will for our lives? Does God often times hide His will from us? Can believers be outside of the will of God? How are we to make decisions about practical issues in a way that honors Christ? On the air with us to discuss this topic will be Brendon Helms, graduate of Southern Evangelical Seminary and Associate Pastor at Macedonia Baptist Church in Lincolnton, NC. You don't want to miss this show as it may challenge some of your own beliefs regarding the will of God. Join us for this interesting discussion!
