Nothin' But Fine: with Emily Trotter

Emily is joined by Jake Hess III this month on Let's Talk! Jake is an extremely talented young man (this is my biased opinion, we are related) paying his dues in Nashville.  We talked about how he got there and what he has learned.  I even convinced him to sing a little bit of a song he wrote!

Emily's thoughts on Jesus's earthly family.  Would God have chosen you to be his parent on earth?  Who would you pick to be your family if you had a choice?  Why would you pick them?  The challenge for 2023 is to think about getting on the short list of who God would choose. --- Bible Talk - a weekly podcast series by Nothin' But Fine.

Ohmygoodness, was this a labor of love.  I had no idea that being a music producer was such a JOB.  Be kind at my first attempt.  The singers are incredibly talented, don't let my rookie attempt at running sound for musicians take away from how unbelievable they are!  I truly loved working on this and every person that came and sang.  We recorded so much that there are 2 EPISODES.  Merry Chri...

Wrapping up David.  So much to learn from him and we didn't cover all of it!  I didn't even get into the Psalms and we know how good those are! Our brief study of David gives us much to think about and our own relationship with God.  Are we honest with Him?  Do we show Him our true feelings?  Do we acknowledge our sins and repent?  Do we encourage our children to live by the statutes of...

It is better to give than receive.  Our advice for this holiday season when you are buying all the gifts is to be intentional.  Put some thought into it.  Don't neglect your local makers and businesses.  We also give you some ideas that I bet you haven't thought of!

David finally becomes King of Israel.  He waits 20 years from anointing to actually sitting on the throne.  He also establishes Jerusalem as the capital, finally taking the city from the Jebusites.  Beautiful Zion, the City of David is now a real place.  Great things are to happen here as we know!   --- Bible Talk - a weekly podcast series by Nothin' But Fine.
