Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast) - Episode 541 Praying with Patrick - Matt Mikalatos and Aaron Burns        Learn to pray with Saint Patrick of Ireland―and to find your story in his own One of Ireland's most beloved figures, St. Patrick was a man who lived a life soaked in prayer. A risk-taker in the service of others―particularly women, slaves, and the poor―Patrick spent years enslaved, in which he found himself praying all the time―praying for freedom, for a warm place to sleep, or to return home. He never stopped. It was something he did with great intentionality, but also in the breath between one task and the next. Praying with Saint Patrick takes us on a journey through Patrick's life, allowing us to pray alongside him using his story and his actual prayers to deepen and enrich our own prayer lives. Each reading features a quote from Patrick, a scripture, a devotion, and a prayer such as: A Prayer for Times of Trouble A Prayer for When We Feel Helpless A Prayer for Hope A Prayer for Freedom A Prayer for When You Don't Fit In A Prayer for the Presence of Christ A Prayer for God's Salvation A Prayer in Times of Grief A perfect gift for anyone who is fascinated by Ireland, the heroes of the faith, or prayer, Praying with Saint Patrick will draw you deeper into conversation with a God who cares deeply about you and your needs, concerns, and worries. Just as Patrick experienced God's presence in the rugged wilds of Ireland, may you experience God's presence in a powerful and vibrant way.

Matt Mikalatos is one of my favorite people that I've never met in person. His online presence exudes love and he's always kind, but that doesn't mean he's a pushover or lacks conviction. While most [...] The post Loving Disagreement: A Conversation with Matt Mikalatos appeared first on Life Is Story.

Drew Baker has an engaging conversation with Kathy Khang and Matt Mikalatos about their book "Loving Disagreement: Fighting for Community through the Fruit of the Spirit." Find it on Amazon. Fighting, disagreements, hatred, dissension, and silence. These things seem common in the wider Christian community today. Politics, theology, and even personal preference create seemingly insurmountable rifts. It's hard not to see ourselves as “at war” with each other. We're not doomed to be stuck here, though. There is a twofold path out of this destructive war, out of seeing our brothers and sisters as enemies—and into a spacious place of loving each other even as we disagree. CGU creates spaces for Christians to gather so that we might recognize Jesus in one another. If you are blessed by this ministry please consider tax-deductible monthly donation.

Welcome to the final episode of What Matters Most for 2022 - it's a special one! Tabitha and Brian Caplinger sat down over zoom with our new friend, Matt Mikalatos. Matt is an author and full-time TV and film writer who lives in Portland, Oregon. His books include "Journey to Love," "My Imaginary Jesus," and the young adult fantasy, "The Crescent Stone." If you are a part of Faith Community, you may remember a message Brian spoke a few months ago based around the ideas of his book, "My Imaginary Jesus." This conversation is full of those little golden nuggets you're going to want to write down or take some serious mental notes. They talk about the dynamics of our relationship with Jesus and how that intersects with the Bible, history, community and church. They also explore how we can be wrong about who Jesus is and what He said. Then, how we can grow & change as we continue to walk out our relationship with Him. We're just a couple of days away from Christmas so whether you're traveling, preparing your favorite holiday dish or wrapping gifts as you listen, I hope you are reminded of the nearness of Christ and the wonder that's found as we pursue Him. He is good and He is trustworthy. So sit back, and enjoy this conversation with Matt Mikalatos on What Matters Most.____________________Visit Matt Mikalatos' website at mikalatos.com to find out where you can get a copy of one of his books or connect with him on socials!Email: Matt@mikalatos.comFacebook: @matthew.mikalatosInstagram: @mattmikalatos____________________Watch Brian's message based on the concepts found in "My Imaginary Jesus" here.Thanks for listening!

I'd never heard of Matt (not Mike!) Mikalatos before receiving information about his Sunlit Lands series, but wow! The premise of the series is amazing, and the reason he wrote them is even better.  A prolific author of both fiction and nonfiction, Matt Mikalatos brings over two decades of missionary focus into fabulous fantasy. Note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. Is This Author Harnessing the Power of Youthful Passion? Even after I butchered his name, Matt Mikalatos graciously told us about his life as a missionary (he knows my niece who is also a missionary with his organization!), his transition into screenwriting for a streaming show that we'll learn about in the future, and even his nonfiction backlist (it's extensive!). But our primary discussion revolved around his YA fantasy series, Sunlit Lands. And oh my word.  When I read the synopsis of the first book, The Crescent Stone, I cracked up. It begins with an excerpt of a review. “For Narnia fans who enjoy heavy snark, this is a must-read.” ?Kirkus Reviews Um, yeah! Sign me up.  So, since it was on Kindle Unlimited, I started reading.  Wow.  When Matt says he has a heart for teens, he's not joking. You see it in how he describes his characters, the situations he puts them in, and their levels of engagement. But when he described The Crescent Stone as a book where teens in our world are offered the desires of their hearts if they'll fight for a year in another world's battles… and then those teens begin to question if they are fighting for the right side… everything exploded for me. So I bought the audiobook. Actually, I bought a lot of books while we were chatting.  I mean, the guy would say something about xyz book and I'd go, “Oh! I need that.”  Instabuy at its finest. By the time we were done, I had two hardbacks on the way, two other things preordered, and a KU shelf loaded up with Matt Mikalatos marvelousness. Oh, and listen to that narrator. I'm just sayin'.  You've got to check her out.  Now, look. I have to admit. The sample didn't catch me at first. It's strange how it sometimes takes a minute or two to enter into someone's natural cadence, but when you do with The Crescent Stone, you feel like you've entered that world somehow.  I want to listen to the narrator do something completely different to hear if it's just her, or if it's Matt Mikalatos' world. The third book just released, so here's a bit more about that. Matt Mikalatos, The Story King In the third and final installment in the Sunlit Lands series, the magic of the Sunlit Lands has been reset, but that doesn't mean all is well. Unrest and discord are growing by the day, and Hanali is positioning himself as ruler of the Sunlit Lands. But, in order for Hanali to seize control, there must be a sacrifice, one that very few are willing to make. Jason, Shula, Baileya, and others must work together to save the lives of those Hanali would sacrifice for his own gain. Additionally, you want to check out his upcoming release, Journey to Love!

First Story: “Evil is as Evil Does” by Travis Burnham (Originally published in Aoife's Kiss.) Right in the middle of my nefarious plan to create an enormous ball of bubonic plague-infected fleas, the door gong set my teeth to rattling. I sent Herschel to see who it was. “It's today's virgin,” he rumbled from the end of the hallway. “Well don't just stand there like an idiot, bring her in,” I shouted. “You know the routine.” Herschel is as loyal as any evil master could hope for, but if his intellect were a knife, he'd have trouble cutting butter. Herschel brought her in over his shoulder and placed her on the trapdoor that dropped virgins to the room below where they would meet their violent, bloody deaths at Vilesnoot's claws and fangs. I leaned back in my easy chair, annoyed. “Herschel, remind me to call Green Light Virgins and complain. They're simply cutting too many corners.” Travis Burnham is an SF/F writer and science teacher. His work has previously appeared in Aoife's Kiss, Bad Dreams... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
