In this episode I elaborate on a message that my friend sent me about shepherds & sheep.

The main theme of this episode was to review Matthew 25:14-30 (The Parable of the Talents)

The Bible warns us that a hard heart can lead to calamity. Hard hearts can cause us to take blessings for granted until we finally lose them. This is a burden to the Fruits of the Spirit.

On this Good Friday, the session addresses how Jesus revealed Himself as the timeless, matchless hero.

If a person declares that they are "broke," more often than not they are referring to financial hardships. If a person describes a loved one as "broken," they are usually speaking of a heavily burdened spirit. In this episode, I try to offer some insight and encouragement to use against brokenness.

This is a brief description of what the Nine Points Podcast is all about.

Politics, perseverance & religion. In this episode we explore each of these concepts for encouragement, not judgement.

I dedicate this episode to my dad for his birthday. I share an unforgettable conversation that I had with him during my early adolescence.

The idea of loving must translate from an idea into a habit.

Traumatic situations can lead to frustration and desperation. Being willing process your experience with someone else does not make you weak. You CAN work through it with or without social collaboration. Just don’t be afraid to admit if you would like some help.

1 Corinthians chapter 12 explains how different members of a body work together to do great things. With this in mind, we should be intentional about respecting members of our families and communities. This can generate good will and good faith relationships.

Today’s episode focused a lot on faith. The Sunday school lesson relates to Romans 10 as it pertains to the Law, Faith in Jesus and acceptance. In the final three to four minutes there is encouragement to appreciate our blessings, even when we have to reach for them.

Only one segment in today’s episode. It is a presentation of a Sunday School Lesson covering Acts 10:24-38. This is where Peter explains God’s love for both Jews and Gentiles.

Today’s episode has two main points of emphasis. First, the Sunday School lesson focused on the empty tomb after Jesus was resurrected. The second point is a call to working for peace. Peace requires work and sometimes sacrificing a poisonous attitude. Hope that you enjoy.

Some events may feel ceremonial or even hollow to us. However, these same events may be very substantive to those we work with. We explore the value of respecting others’ beliefs.
