Terry Virgo - Grace, part I


This is a three part series on grace that is excellent. Terry has a unique style, part story-teller, part expositor and part human analyzer which enables him to speak with great authority and compassion and to make you see things in scripture which you wouldn't have normally thought about. So, enjoy the listen!

Terry Virgo - A Leader's Prayer Life


I have decided to spend a week introducing you to Terry Virgo. Here is some information about him.

Terry is based at Church of Christ the King, Brighton, UK and is the founder of Newfrontiers, a worldwide family of churches together on a mission to establish the kingdom of God by restoring the church, making disciples, training leaders and planting churches. He and his team serve nearly 500 churches worldwide.

A well-known Bible teacher, Terry speaks at conferences internationally and hosts the annual Together on a Mission conference in the UK, which draws thousands of delegates from around the world.

Terry has written several books, including No Well-Worn Paths , which is his biography and the story of NewFrontiers.

I was encouraged to listen to him by a friend Adrian Warnock who knows him well and is a part of one of his churches. I am so glad I did. This talk on prayer was revolutionary for me as one who not only understands how to teach about prayer but also loves to pray. He invites on into his world and the real focus of prayer, which is glorifying God. Don't let the reformed/charismatic labels scare you a way this week. He is the real deal. Here is the link to this talk!

Voddie Baucham - The Value of a Family


Voddie has had the most significant life changing impact on me in term of family than I think anyone else in terms of a speaker. He has literally changed our lives in some very practical, real ways. And I can't say enough about him if you want fresh, powerful, life-altering ways on raising kids and viewing the family. I have given you the link to his home page. You can purchase the websites off his link for only $1.99 which I believe will be an amazing investment or I am sure you can find them elsewhere on the web, but with not as good a recording. Plus, you need to pick up his book! Great Stuff!!!

John Piper- Marriage Is Meant for Making Children...Disciples of Jesus, Part 2

I listened to this sermon quite awhile ago and it has stayed with me many days. I looked back at the sermon and I remembered most of it. That doesn't happen often to me, so I am confident that the sermon is profound and deep and penetrating, especially for the fathers who struggle with anger as I have in my life. I hope it encourages you as it did me.

Gregg Harris - As for me and my house


If you are a parent like me (I was just interupted by my four year old telling me at 9:28pm, "I can't go to sleep") you understand the demand and the guilt and the joy and pressure and the prayers that go into being a mommy and a daddy. Well, this week is for you. And I am going to start it off with a great talk by Gregg Harris at Bethleham Baptist (John Piper's church). You might know the last name better with a Josh in front of it (think I kissed Dating goodbye) or an Alex and Brett (Do Hard Things), but Gregg is pretty good in his own right. Actually, he is really insightful and listening to him and reading the Do Hard Things book, you get to see how and where these kids come from. It is by grace and a lot of hard work that parents get to see the fruit that they have seen. So, listen in, and stay especially for the end as he builds a foundation and then shows the fruit at the end. Intentional, grace-filled and solid. Here is the link for his blog!
