Podcast Library

ALL PODCASTS ARE NOW FREE TO DOWNLOAD!!

Podcasts are developed and produced to bring God’s truth into your life regardless of your circumstances.  While other sites might charge a lot more the information they offer, we never want money to come between those in need and God’s truth.

Often, the podcasts are expanded versions of what you may have read in the blog.  Some are live recordings of previous speaking engagements on subjects that directly relate to God’s view of what a Christian husband and parent is.  In addition, you might find recordings of messages and/or sermons by other speakers or pastors.

The Opportunity of Pain by Brady Nemmers



Youth Pastor of Ada Bible Church presents part 2 of 2 in a series on vision leaks. Brady talks about moving from trials to perseverance and on to maturity. He asks the question “What if your greatest pain as you move into 2010 is also your greatest opportunity for change?” After hearing this message live, I think it’s something every married man must hear.

Basics of Grace Podcast.

This podcast provides a starting point from which we can talk about all
kinds of marriage challenges.  Condensed from a more detailed  program
used at the Life Center (See Library Page), the information is a review
and affirmation of your salvation through Jesus’ work on the cross and
how this relates to the relationships around you. (See Companion Book,
Who I Am In Christ).  This material kicks off every speaking engagement
and is covered at the beginning of every mentoring relationship.






Who I Am In Christ

The Red Booklet – Who I Am In Christ.

(companion to the Basics of Grace podcast.)
This booklet is a collection of Bible verses affirming and assuring you in your new
identity in Jesus Christ.  Bert covers this booklet in the podcast Basics of Grace
and also uses this booklet as part of the one-on-one mentoring he does with married
Christian men. Click here for the origins of this booklet, written by the author.

We are fortunate and grateful to have Timothy John assist with the production of our podcasts. Timothy John is a Worship Director at Holland Baptist Church and has one album of original songs that were preformed, written and produced by him. Presently, he is working on his second album and hopes to release it in the fall of 2009.  Most of the songs Timothy John writes are directly based on the Word of God.  Check out his website to hear samples of his songs from links on this website.  We’re glad to have his support in this ministry.
