The Story Is Ending Podcast artwork

The earth and humanity had a beginning and, just like any good story, will have an ending. The Story is Ending is a podcast exploring how the Bible brings history to an end The foundational Bible verse is Revelation 12:11 - "They defeated him through the blood of the Lamb and the bold word of their witness. They weren't in love with themselves; they were willing to die for Christ." The spirit of that one statement is why this ministry exists. There are two elements to this podcast: The "witness" of someone's story and teaching on The Story. I hope you will find my story helpful for you as we start the first few scenes and I invite you to share yours along the way.

My Daily Prayer

I have been wanting to get this on my podcast for some time. Beginning last year as November started, I challenged myself to read every day from this prayer in the back of John Eldredge's book, Moving Mountains. As I read it day-to-day, I also started adding highlights and God inspired more customization as words and phrases arose in the moment. This version is the seventh upd

This is a reading of the wonderful little story of two angels, as written by J. B. Phillps. I thought it would be great for Christmas. Philippians 2:5-13'Adopt the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as something to be exploited. Instead he emptied himself by assuming the form of a servant, taking on the l

Doing something a little different with this episode. I came across a photo in my Instagram feed of a little boy in Afghanistan. I made it the wallpaper background for my phone and multiple times a day I see the image.I've been thinking about what I'd say and how to reflect on this striking image, so rather than write it all out, recording thoughts as a stand-alone episod
