More Power to You - A Prayer Podcast

I've been spending time lately with some very small books that carry very big ideas. One of them is Christian Maturity by E. Stanley Jones—a slim, pocket-sized volume written many decades ago.

That little book—and othe...

I am not a professional preacher or pastor or minister, I'm basically a guy who loves the radio. I also love Jesus and I want to help spread God's wisdom and to tell the Jesus story. And I kind of admire the man who shares my name.

Thank you for your 15 minutes today and in my many years in broadcasting and in business performance coaching I've often taken a very different view of how things get started and how they matter.

Many years ago Saint Augustine asked the classic question which is still true for us today. How do you want to be remembered? That question still rings as a good one for us to hear today. Indeed, one of the world's most famous management consultants, the late Peter Drucker, said that if a person in leadership could not answer that question, he could probably not help them with their challenges and...

E Stanley Jones was a man of his times and a powerful influence in those times, but his power was rooted in his knowledge of the wisdom of the ages and of God's truth and that God loves us and wants to help us and save us by surrendering not only the bad stuff but trusting him with the good stuff to God, indeed to the Lord Jesus. But he was certainly a man who is ahead of his times and his message...
