Just as Barnabas was to Paul we all need a peer-encourager. We don’t need flattery or “yes men” around us, but we do need someone to remind us of what God has called us to do. And what better way to be encouraged than to start off this message with baby dedications. 02.15.2009

We start off this episode with a joyful update from the Burgess family and their premie twins. We welcome guest speaker Pastor David Metsker who has been a mentor to Jon and Cyndi and who consequently tackles this very subject in his message. Just as Timothy was to Paul, we all need someone who we pour our lives into - who literally become like one of our descendants or heirs. We pass on to them all have learned and are learning. 02.08.2009

Just as Jethro was to Moses we need someone who pushes us past our comfort zone and calls us out of ruts and into the purposes of God. Guest speaker Dave Thompson delivers a humorous and much needed reminder that we need a butt-kicker in our lives to not beat us down but to challenge us to get off our pity pot and help us grow. 02.01.2009
