Speaking4Him Podcast #690: The Christmas Ring (2025)

 “When I write a book, God gives me a story, and I put it on the page. Then I step back. On release day, it’s also me releasing it to God for Him to do what only He can do,

But making movies is so hard. I can control everything about a book, right? The weather, the casting, everything. But in a movie, anything could go wrong, so it’s very hard. So it’s about stepping out of the boat like Peter to walk on some waves. You have to keep your eyes on Jesus. And for me, that is a thrill because it is truly a faith walk, and God has been continually meeting us there to where everything could go right.”

Karen Kingsbury

Speaking4Him Podcast #688: Truth & Treason (2025)

  "German boys! Do you know the country without freedom, the country of terror and tyranny? Yes, you know it well, but are afraid to talk about it. They have intimidated you to such an extent that you don't dare talk for fear of reprisals. Yes you are right; it is Germany — Hitler Germany! 

Through their unscrupulous terror tactics against young and old, men and women, they have succeeded in making you spineless puppets to do their bidding.”

Speaking4Him Podcast #680: Revival: What is it?

 “If we want revivals, we must revive our reverence for the Word of God. If we want conversions, we must put more of God’s Word into our sermons.” C. H. Spurgeon

um-insight.net

Today, on the show, I explore the question: "What is revival?" Recently, we have witnessed numerous events in our culture referred to as revivals, along with a significant resurgence of interest in spiritual matters. This makes it especially important for us to understand what revival means from a biblical perspective. By doing so, we can confidently stand for the truth and serve as vessels to help those who are lost and in need find the answers they seek—answers that can only be found in the person and work of Jesus Christ.

As you listen, my prayer for you is that you will commit to sharing the truth of the gospel with both boldness and a spirit of love and compassion, bringing light into the darkness!
