Lifespring! was the world’s first Christian podcast not based on repurposed church sermons. The first episode debuted on November 13, 2004. Jesus said, “Whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed the water I give him will become in him a spring of water, welling up to eternal life.” It doesn’t matter where you’re at, it doesn’t matter what you’ve done, it doesn’t matter your age, your sex, your station in life. Jesus asks you this, “Who do you say that I am.” Lifespring! is about answering that question, and the question of how and why the answer can and does affect your life today.
I had such a fun time interviewing Mark Lowry for this show! What a high energy guy! Mark Lowry wrote the song “Mary, Did You Know”, my favorite Christmas song. He was a part of the Gaither Vocal Band for 13 years, and he’s been in every one of the Gaither Family Homecoming DVDs. Nowadays,…

This is a very different “Lifespring!” show. The war in Israel and Lebanon, involving Hezbollah, has brought much criticism of both sides. With Pastor Steve O’Brien as my guest, we discuss the situation in an attempt to look at things in a balanced and Biblical way.

Last week’s Digger’s Story podcast surprised me. An excerpt from Lifespring!95 was included in their episode number 28. That prompted another contribution to that podcast by me, dealing with what my idea of “peace” is. In that comment to them, I promised to do this show about that subject. So, as promised, peace is the…

On this show: I went to a movie again yesterday. Don?t you hate when you?re watching a scene that is very dark, and then it cuts to a really bright scene??? It hurts your eyes! You know, during the dark scene, you can?t really see what?s going on very well, but after awhile you get…

As a matter of fact, the American Declaration of Independence talks about ?life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.? So this isn?t new. It?s been important to…
