Blogger Melissa Edgington is noticing a trend in Christian circles, especially among Christian women on the internet. Before saying something harsh, self-righteous, or preachy, women will sometimes use the word “gently.” As in “Gently, you’re absolutely delusional.” “Gently, you should completely reevaluate who you are as a person.” “Gently, you’re what’s wrong with the world.” Melissa says it’s the equivalent of standing toe-to-toe with someone and saying the word “gently” before slapping them in the face. Maybe you’ve noticed this trend, too.

Talk about a great hero of the faith! But how much do we really know about the Apostle Paul? What drove Paul to endure often treacherous journeys of hundreds of miles to establish like-minded communities around the world as he knew it? What spurred him to recruit a network of co-workers who were willing to help him in this vast project? What kept him at the task even when it landed him in prison? What prompted him to produce a body of letters to these communities of such depth that millions of people still read them with profit today? Author Frank Thielman dropped by to share some very meaningful, faith-building thoughts about Paul!

You never know where the Lord is going to take the conversation on any given morning. That's what makes a wide open hour so exciting! When we open the phones, we get to hear of all the ways God is working in the lives of our listeners. The Lord gives us these testimonies to encourage others. We did just that as we asked listeners to share what God has been doing in their lives. It was all part of Kurt and Kate's, "Fill in the Blank...."
