Telling The Truth

This week begins a new broadcast series from Stuart Briscoe of "Telling the Truth."  It's called, "God Has a Plan - and We're Part of It!"  On today's broadcast, Stuart teaches from Ephesians and reminds listeners that "God's plan has personal dimensions" . . . and that, "Whilst God has a cosmic, eternal plan - he also has a will and purpose for each of our lives."

Sometimes God's plans involve a change of course, which is true today for the ministry of Telling the Truth.  At the end of April, Ambassador will conclude representation of "Telling the Truth" programming ...

Coffee or tea?  We'll have both at NRB on Monday at 3:00 PM in Ambassador's Hospitality Suite (Presidential Boardroom A).  It's only part of the treat in store for those who gather for "Tea with the Briscoes" (that's Stuart, Jill and Pete!).  It's rare that all three "Telling the Truth" speakers are at NRB, so we're delighted to have them share about "proclaiming God's Word to a weary world" -- which they do every day with listeners!

While not live -- you can take part in what the evening held for the 3,000 in attendance (and many, many more online!), on Telling the Truth's website.  May I recommend the couch?

Be sure to visit the website where you can watch the Briscoes share from their hearts in their ...

Does the New Year cause you to think anew about your "calling?"  If so, then maybe your soul will resonate with a poem Jill Briscoe wrote and read for students in an Indian seminary.

Jill says, "It is only when we live barefoot in our hearts that we will hear our renewed calling to ministry. It is only when we live barefoot in our hearts that we will know the true fear of God and be suitably afraid of the great God we serve and wish to obey his calling however hard it is. And it is there, barefoot in ...

It's challenging when you're wondering what to give the person who has everything - but, what do you give when you have nothing?"  That's the question Pete Briscoe will tackle in a special message coming up on "Telling the Truth" - What Do You Give When You Have Nothing to Give.  I can't help but wonder that many listeners will relate to having "nothing" in this trying economic time.

Speaking of listeners, here are just a few of the responses that have been coming in through Telling the Truth's Facebook ...

Would you be lost without your calendar?  Monthly planner?  iPhone calendar application?  I would!  I love plugging in events dates the moment I know them -- oh the joy of knowing what's going on months in advance!

Aside from the monthly Telling the Truth Promo Pack, here are a few things to plug in to your station calendar from "Telling the Truth":

The Visitor in November

Although some retail stores (and even a few stations!) are already embracing the Christmas season, it's not until after Thanksgiving that most of us turn our attention to December activities.
