Paul Rappaport is an accomplished guitarist who first heard guitar when he was a kid in California, watching a live local TV show featuring country guitar players…a show that was broadcast from a huge L.A. car lot. He learned to play, fell in love with the instrument and by high school was playing in bands. While attending college at UCLA, Paul got a job offer. A very appealing offer from Columbia Records. The position sounded good, but what really sweetened the deal was when he learned he could have all the records he wanted…for free. During his 33 years at Columbia, Paul Rappaport proved to be gifted at promotion and marketing and at forming close relationships with artist and bands, who knew him as Rapp. He gave Elvis Costello the red Rickenbacker used on Armed Forces. Pink Floyd asked Rapp to join them onstage at the London Arena. And he created some of the most memorable and visually stunning event promotions in rock history. All of this is told in Rapp's fascinating new book – Gliders Over Hollywood: Airships, Airplay, and The Art Of Rock Promotion.You can order Gliders Over Hollywood: Airships, Airplay and The Art of Rock Promotion from Barnes & Noble here.You can also order the book from Amazon here.Save on Certified Pre-Owned ElectronicsPlug has great prices on refurbished electronics.

This podcast episode features a lively discussion between Andrew Rappaport and Caleb Gordon, centered on the importance of evangelism and the upcoming Built to Conquer Conference in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Rappaport emphasizes that the first step in discipleship is evangelism, urging listeners to overcome their fears and share the gospel, which is fundamentally about inviting others into a relationship with Jesus. The conversation also highlights common excuses people use to avoid evangelism, such as fear of rejection or feeling unprepared. Both hosts agree that understanding the reality of hell and the urgency of sharing the good news should motivate believers to act. Listeners are encouraged to attend the conference for practical strategies in evangelism and to connect with like-minded individuals committed to advancing the kingdom.Andrew Rappaport welcomes listeners to a thought-provoking discussion on the critical role of evangelism in the Christian faith, emphasizing its connection to discipleship. He highlights the upcoming Built to Conquer conference in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, where he and other speakers will engage attendees on biblical evangelism. The conversation with Caleb Gordon dives into the barriers many Christians face when sharing their faith, such as fear of rejection or lack of knowledge. They challenge listeners to reconsider these fears by reflecting on the eternal implications of not sharing the gospel. Rappaport asserts that understanding the reality of hell can motivate believers to overcome their hesitations, as those who truly grasp the stakes are driven to communicate the hope found in Christ. Furthermore, they explore practical ways to initiate gospel conversations in everyday scenarios, demonstrating that evangelism can be both accessible and impactful. The episode intricately weaves personal anecdotes with theological insights, illustrating that the essence of evangelism lies in sharing the transformative message of Christ's sacrifice and grace. Rappaport argues for a proactive approach, encouraging believers to create opportunities for dialogue about faith rather than waiting for perfect moments to present themselves. This proactive stance is underscored by their humorous exchange about cold plunges, a metaphor for the discomfort often associated with evangelism, yet ultimately rewarding. The episode serves as a call to action for evangelistic fervor and a reminder of the joy and purpose that comes from sharing one's faith with others.Takeaways: Andrew Rappaport emphasizes the importance of evangelism as a fundamental part of discipleship, which often gets overlooked in churches. The Built to Conquer conference on February 22, 2025, in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, focuses on practical evangelism strategies for attendees. Both hosts discuss the fear many people have regarding evangelism and how to overcome it through understanding the urgency of the Gospel. Rappaport and Gordon highlight how sharing the Gospel is akin to sharing great news, comparing it to personal invitations from celebrities or influential figures. The conversation encourages listeners to recognize the eternal significance of sharing their faith with others who might not know Christ. The episode concludes with practical ways to engage in evangelism, including utilizing gospel tracks and seizing everyday opportunities to share the faith.

This episode emphasizes the critical importance of engaging with the Word of God as a foundational aspect of the Christian life. Pastor Dan explores Deuteronomy 6, highlighting the command to love the Lord with all one's heart, soul, and might while integrating Scripture into daily life. He encourages listeners to not merely read the Bible but to meditate on it, allowing its teachings to shape their worldview and decisions. By reflecting on historical figures like Martin Luther and Jan Hus, he illustrates the transformative power of the Scriptures and the sacrifices made for the accessibility of God's Word. As the new year begins, this sermon serves as a poignant reminder to prioritize Bible reading and deepen one's relationship with God through His Word.Andrew Rappaport, the host of the Rappaport podcast, kicks off the New Year by sharing a sermon he delivered at his home church, Oxford Valley Chapel. The sermon centers on the importance of studying the Word of God, especially as listeners embark on a new year filled with opportunities for spiritual growth. Rappaport emphasizes the need for Christians to engage with Scripture meaningfully, suggesting that the Bible is not just a book to be read but a vital resource for understanding one's faith and living it out daily. He draws from the teachings found in Deuteronomy 6, which outlines the commandments given to Israel, stressing that these instructions are not merely historical but hold relevance for believers today. Rappaport delves into the significance of the Shema, a foundational declaration in Jewish faith that underscores the oneness of God and the call to love Him with all one's heart, soul, and might. He reflects on the tendency of modern believers to take the Bible for granted, contrasting this with the historical sacrifices made by individuals who valued Scripture so highly they were willing to die for it. The sermon serves as a poignant reminder that true engagement with the Bible requires more than cursory readings; it demands a heart committed to understanding and applying God's Word in every aspect of life. Rappaport encourages listeners to not just read the Bible, but to meditate on it, allowing its truths to permeate their lives and guide their actions as they navigate the challenges and joys of the new year.Takeaways: Reading the Bible daily is essential for spiritual growth and deeper understanding of God. We must view life through the lens of Scripture to navigate challenges effectively. Moses emphasized the importance of teaching God's commandments to future generations. Engagement with the Bible should be about meditative reflection, not just casual reading. The historical significance of the Bible shows its transformative power in believers' lives. Our love for God grows as we understand His Word and what He has done for us.

What if the solution to your itchy skin is causing more harm than good? Join me, Kelly Palace, for an authentic look at my chilling encounter with topical steroids. It all began with a little tube of ointment prescribed for the eczema caused by my swimming goggles—a quick fix that spiraled into a full-blown nightmare.
