One of the realities of life is that every journey encounters unexpected interruptions. Sometimes it's a traffic jam. Sometimes it's bad weather. Sometimes it's something much simpler, yet just as frustrating—a flat tire.

Anyone who has traveled very far has probably experienced one. You're making good progress when suddenly the vehicle begins pulling to one side. The ride changes. Before long you're parked on the shoulder examining a tire that's lost its air.

Flat tires are part of traveling.

Spiritually speaking, something similar can happen in our walk with Christ.

Please listen to today's podcast and learn how we can prevent flat faith.

When we think of a hall of fame, we usually picture famous athletes, coaches, or public figures. But God measures greatness differently. In this episode, we'll discover that some of heaven's greatest heroes are ordinary servants whose names may never be widely known, yet whose faithfulness is treasured by God. Join me as we explore the often-overlooked treasures of Romans 16 and discover why quiet acts of service matter more than we may ever realize.

Have you ever surprised yourself with a thought that seemed completely out of character?

I certainly did.

In this episode, I share something that's been on my mind lately. Before you jump to conclusions, stay with me. What begins as an unexpected question takes us on a journey to one of the most reassuring promises God ever made.

Sometimes the most surprising conversations lead us to the deepest hope.

In this episode of Walking With Our Master, I reflect on Paul's simple yet powerful words from 1 Corinthians 3:6.  Every follower of Christ has a role in God's kingdom. Whether it's planting a seed through a kind word, watering through encouragement, or living as a faithful example, God invites each of us to participate in His work. We are not called to measure the harvest but to remain faithful in the field He has placed before us. 

Join me as we discover the joy of serving faithfully and trusting God to bring the increase.

Every disciple of Jesus knows what it is like to stumble. The question is not whether Christians ever struggle with sin, but how faithful followers of Christ respond when they do.

In this episode of Walking With Our Master, we examine Paul's teaching in Romans 6 and explore the difference between continuing in sin and continuing to walk with Christ. Along the way, we are reminded that God's grace is not permission to remain in sin. It is the strength that enables us to rise, repent, and keep following our Savior.

Jesus never promised His disciples a life without struggles, but He did promise His presence along the way. As we continue walking with our Master, we discover that His grace is sufficient, His mercy is unfailing, and His hand is always there to lift us when we fall.

Join us as together we continue Walking With Our Master.

Why do we keep struggling with the same sins and unhealthy habits? Often, we focus on changing our actions while overlooking the attitudes that produce them. 

In this episode we explore Jesus' teaching that lasting spiritual transformation begins in the heart. Discover how replacing bitterness with forgiveness, pride with humility, and fear with trust allows God to produce genuine, lasting change. 

Join us as we learn that when Christ heals the source, the fruit of our lives begins to change.

Have you ever had to go back and do something over again?  Perhaps you've had to make repairs more than once.  You had it fixed just right and the next thing you know, it was broken again.  Maybe you need to remove what is causing the damage before making repairs.

In today's episode we're looking in on Shepherd Sam as he is repairing a gate to his pasture.  In it he shares some wisdom from God's word about removing what keeps causing us to make repairs in our life.

When we think about serving God, it’s easy to assume that ministry belongs to preachers, elders, Bible class teachers, or other church leaders. Yet the New Testament paints a much larger picture. God has called every believer to serve, encourage, teach, and help build up the body of Christ.

Today we’ll explore a powerful truth from Ephesians chapter four: church leaders are called to equip God's people for ministry, and every Christian has a place in God's work. Join me as we discover how God has prepared each of us to make a difference in His kingdom.

In today’s episode, we step back before denominational lines and religious traditions to explore a powerful question: What did the original church look like before human divisions began?

 Together, we’ll journey into the pages of the New Testament to discover the simplicity, unity, and beauty of predenominational Christianity, the faith revealed by Christ and preached by the apostles.

 If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to simply follow Jesus according to Scripture alone, this episode is for you.

 So grab your Bible, quiet your heart, and let’s walk with our Master.

Life has a way of filling our calendars and capturing our attention. By the time we reach the middle of the week, many of us are carrying responsibilities, concerns, and a little weariness from the days behind us. Yet God has provided a wonderful gift to help renew our hearts and refocus our minds.

In this episode we're talking about the value of midweek Bible study. More than just another item on the schedule, it is an opportunity to gather with fellow believers, open God's word together, encourage one another, and find renewed strength for the journey ahead.

So settle in for a few minutes, and let's explore how God uses these midweek moments to refresh our faith and draw us closer to Him.

Let's walk with our Master together.

 We all know that as disciples of our Lord we are to spread the gospel throught the world.  But many wonder how they can.  Perhaps they don't have resources to travel.  Maybe finances are a chllenge.  Or health is weak.  Whatever the reason, some feel spreading the gospel is beyond them.  This is a mistaken view.  

Today we’re exploring an incredible reminder that the Great Commission is not reserved for a select few. Jesus calls all of us to help carry the gospel into all the world. Through the powerful work of World Bible School, ordinary Christians can become part of an extraordinary mission, reaching hearts across nations with the truth of God’s Word. Whether through teaching, encouragement, prayer, or support, every believer can play a role in sharing Christ in their area and beyond. Today, my friend and brother Kent Dobbs joins us to talk about this life changing ministry and how each of us can help take the message of salvation to a waiting world.

Today’s episode invites us into a deeply personal journey, one every believer understands. Sometimes our greatest struggle is not the stumble itself, but realizing we have slowly drifted from the path God intended for us. 

In this episode I explore how wrong steps often begin subtly, how spiritual drift takes root, and most importantly, how God’s grace always provides a way back. 

Through biblical truth, the story of the prodigal son, and practical encouragement, we’ll discover that no matter how far we’ve wandered, restoration begins the moment we turn back toward the Father. 

So whether your steps feel strong today or uncertain, take heart. God still straightens paths, restores hearts, and welcomes His children home. Stay with us as we explore From Wrong Steps to Right Steps: Returning to God’s Path.

Today, we reflect on the timeless hymn Footprints of Jesus, a song that gently calls us to follow the Savior step by step. Through every joy, every trial, and every quiet moment of faith, Jesus has gone before us, leaving a perfect path of love, obedience, sacrifice, and hope.

As we walk together today, may this beloved hymn remind us that the Christian life is more than admiration from a distance. It is a daily journey of following where our Master leads. So, lace up your spiritual shoes, open your heart, and listen closely for the call of His footsteps.

Let us walk in them together.

It is incredible to think that God’s plan rests in our hands.  I mean by this that as we look at events in the New Testament when the message of the gospel is taught, it is done through fellow Christians.  God always brings the seeker and the teacher together. That is not done by chance.  It is done by deliberate action on the part of our Master.  

I’ll explore more about this incredible responsibility in this episode.

What happens when what we’re hoping for… doesn’t happen?

In this episode of Walking With Our Master we explore the powerful difference between hoping for something and hoping in Someone. Drawing from 1 Peter 1:3–5, we’re reminded that while our circumstances may change, our hope does not have to.

It’s natural to hope for better days, restored relationships, or answers to prayer. But when our hope is tied only to outcomes, it can feel fragile and uncertain. God offers something deeper, a living hope anchored in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Join us as we discover how shifting our focus from what we’re hoping for to who we’re hoping in brings stability, peace, and confidence—no matter what we face.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged when the journey doesn't unfold the way you expected, this episode will gently remind you: your hope is not lost… it’s secure.

Because true hope isn’t found in outcomes, it’s found in Christ.

In this episode of Walking With Our Master, we explore the powerful words of Jesus in John 15, where He invites us beyond simple obedience into a personal, life-giving relationship with Him. Discover how walking with Christ is not just about following commands, but about sharing life, listening to His voice, and growing in closeness each day.

 If you’ve ever felt distant or unsure how to connect more deeply with Jesus, this episode offers encouragement and simple, practical ways to walk with Him as a true friend.

Take a step closer… and walk with the One who already calls you friend.

What if the church could go back…not to a new idea—but to an ancient one?

Before denominations…Before divisions…Before labels defined belief…

 There was a simple faith centered on Jesus. In this episode I introduce Alexander Camptell and a movement he was a major part of.  This restoration movement put forth a strong challenge.  A challenge to go back to beliefs based simply of the Gospel message of Jesus, the apostles, and early disciples.  It was a time before denominations, division, and modern religious complexities.  It was a time of unity and focus on helping others discover the message of hope found in our Lord Jesus.

Reference:  The Christian System is a theological treatise by Alexander Campbell, first published in 1839.

In a world searching for meaning, hope, and truth, the call to share the message of Christ has never been more important.

And how can everyday believers make an eternal impact through simple, faithful conversations?

 Join us as we rediscover the urgency, the compassion, and the privilege of sharing the good news. Because someone, somewhere, is waiting to hear and your voice may be the one God uses.

One of the amazing blessings granted to our congregation is our young adult group.  These incredible men and women, singles and families are making a huge difference on our numerical and spiritual growth.  They are led by their passion, energy, and love for our Lord and our members.  They have a great balance of internal and external focus as they walk with our Master.

In this episode we are visiting with Matthew and Ashley Church.  It is a joy to get to know our family members here at the Prattville congregation.  Not everyone is a high profile member and out in front but they are valuable to our family and we love them dearly.  The truth is that many in our congregation are solid and faithful members that we might see but don’t know as well.  This wonderful family is a vital part of the fabric of our church family.  They are active and contributing in many ways, often behind the scenes.  Most of all, they are teaching by example as they serve and bring their children to grow and walk with the Master.

As we continue in our series on what it means to be a disciple we will look at someone who we would describe as an influencer.  She was a believer in God and a shrewed and succesful businesswoman.  But more than that, she transformed into someone who influenced others as she became a champion disciple for our Lord.

In previous episodes about discipleship we looked at what a disciple is and the committment necessary to be a follower of Jesus.  Now we will look at several different disciples from the early church to see how they are a model for us to follow.

In this episode we will look at Barnabas.  Many of us know Barnabas as the Son of Encouragement.  After all, that's what his name means.  We'll learn in this episode that he was indeed an encourager in many different ways.  We'll learn why I refer to him as radical generosity.  We'll see how he continually gave all to our Lord and to the early church.

I am taking a temporary departure from the series on discipleship.  But, perhaps not if we think about it.  In this episode I am speaking with Jon Hayden Sanders, our children’s education director/superintendent.  Jon Hayden and those that work with him are demonstrating all elements of discipleship as they walk with our Master. 

The children’s Bible education program at the Prattville church has undergone a tremendous upgrade in the learning environment but that is only part of the story.  Our program under the leadership of Jon Hayden and the quality teachers continues to offer biblically sound curriculum.  I love the passion that comes through what Jon Hayden says and does.  But Jon Hayden rightly points out that the teachers in our program.  These wonderful servants love our children, our Lord, and what they do.

All too often we want things on our terms.  We want our way and our will.  This is not the way of a disciple of Jesus.  Rather, we use the same words our Lord used as He was preparing for His death.  He stated to God, regarding what was to happen, “Not my will, but thine”.  That is the subject of this episode of our series on discipleship.  A faithful disciple of our Lord Jesus is to state, not my will but thy will.

As disciples of our Lord we are charged with the incredible responsibility to make disciples of others.  This is a task that some do better than others, but all of us can and all of us can learn how to better influence others for the Lord.

Most of us don't receive personal letters very often.  It seems the use of electronic communication has taken the place of hand-written correspondence.  That makes a personal letter very special.  The realization that someone cared enough about us or the message held such great importance that it needed to be written in our own hand.

Even though hand-written letters have been used for centuries, they still carry an extra level of meaning.  So as we study the letters written by Paul and others in the Bible, we should keep in mind the importance and gravity of these letters.

In this episode I want to look at the true meaning behing one of Paul's shortest letters, the letter to Philemon.  This short but incredibly powerful letter shows us the true essence of God's love for us.  It shows the gospel in action.

I hope you'll join me as I look at the remarkable letter from a brother, to a brother, about a brother.  Together we'll see how it supports us in our walk with the Master.

The Prattville Church of Christ family has many wonderful couples that love our Lord, our membres, and seek to bring the lost to Christ.  In this podcast I am featuring a couple that have been with us two years but it seems they've been here for a long time.  I'm speaking with Glen and Natasha Braly.  They've endeared themselves to us and have become part of the fabric of the Prattville family.

I invite you to listen and get to know more about this dynamic couple.

We should want to be perfect but we know that the harder we try, the more we fail.  We just cannot attain perfection, especially as we try to on our own.

In this episode I look at focusing on progress rather than perfection and bring some encouraging words from scripture of how we can do this and why this is acceptable to God.

Many of us are familiar with the parable of the wise and foolish builders.  It is a favorite parable of many.  So too is the song written by Edward Mote by the same title in which he declares, and so do we declare that we build on the foundation of Jesus Christ so that when the storms of life come upon us, we stand firm.

I invite you to join me in some thoughts about this wonderful parable that speaks to all of us in a very real way.

There are a lot of big words in scripture, especially the Old Testament.  And these words are hard to pronounce and understand.  There are also many words that are as clear as can be and very powerful.

In this episode I look at one of the biggest little words in scripture.  It only has two letters; "if".  This word is used a lot and always carries tremendous meaning.

I'm going to focus on the wonderful and hope filled words from 1 John 1:5-10.  John uses the word, "if" 5 times as he provides us with how we can have confidence in the faithfulness of God, even when we are weak.

This information is based on a sermon presented by Jack McNiel at the Oak Grove Church of Christ.  https://www.ogchurchofchrist.org/Sermons/the-biblical-word-if/

If there is anything we share it is that all of us have experienced suffering at some level.  I often marvel at the resiliance and grace others express as I know the suffering they are enduring.  

A question that is often asked is why God allow suffering.  Isn't He all powerful and all loving?  How then can He allow suffering to happen to His greatest creation.

In this episode I try to present some thoughts about this question.  I don't have all the answers.  In fact, I continue also to have questions.  But this I know.  I serve a loving God who gave His Son Jesus to suffer so that one day I and others can see an end to all suffering as we stand in His presence.

As we continue in the series of episodes featuring the original 12 apostles we now come to the final one, Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Christ.  He was chosen by Jesus and given every opportunity and lesson just as the other 11.  Yet he chose to put his own selfishness ahead of Jesus.  As a result he lost all for eternity.  

In this episode we will look at this tragic life so we can see that it is insanity to not follow Jesus.   Judas was a man who had given his life to Christ but not his heart.

We get asked a lot of questions as Christians.  Sometimes a challenge is asked in the form of a question.  One such common question we might ask or be asked of us is, "Is it wrong?"  Quite often this question is asked as a way to justify behavior.

In this episode I look at this question from the perspective that there might be a better question to ask.  I'll also give some ideas of how to answer the question.

Once I attended a professional basketball game at an arena that held more than 10,000 fans.  As I looked around, it occurred to me that, except for my friend sitting next to me, no one in this mass of humanity knew, or cared who I was.  

There may have been a time when there were hundreds, maybe thousands around you, yet no one was noticing you.  Perhaps you have seen others recognized for great things or promoted to higher levels of responsibility and wished you also could receive such recognition.  We might expect this to have been the feelings of the three men in this episode at some point in their discipleship.  Yet, as we study them, later we realize this likely never crossed their minds.

Not everyone can be recognized as a champion.  Not everyone will receive acclaim for his or her deeds.  But in the Kingdom of God, we receive our crown of glory by honoring the Lord and showing Him to others.  That is what marks these three men.  They might be seen as obscure and ordinary, among the obscure and ordinary, yet they are shining stars in the Kingdom.

These three men represent all the “silent saints” serving our Lord faithfully in obscurity.  We may not know of their service, but our Lord knows.  They are the ones using their talents in silent service as they feed the hungry and give drink to the thirsty, welcome strangers, cloth the naked, and visit the sick and imprisoned.  Their names will ring out in eternity.

In the ongoing series, Twelve Were Chosen, we are looking at the apostles.  In this episode we review information about Matthew and Thomas.    

We’ve been emphasizing through these lessons that these ordinary men, with the exception of Judas, allowed our Lord to change their lives.  Because of their change, they were able to reach incredible levels of service to our Lord.  All of us have characteristics and traits in our life that we do not like.  Perhaps these were what drove us to Christ in the first place.  Just like Matthew and Thomas, the subjects of this episode, we can find a change and continue to grow into what we should when we turn to our Savior, Jesus.

When we receive the promise of salvation from our Lord we are a new creation.  I want to look at this and how it applies to us as children of God.

In this episode I will look at a well known passage from Paul and how he takes a root word and changes it to encourage us as we continue to grow in our spiritual maturity.  By having a better understanding of God's will as Paul speaks to us about, we continue to joyfully walk with our Master.

In the ongoing series, Twelve Were Chosen, we are looking at the apostles.  In this episode we review information about Philip and Nathanael.  As we’ve noted, quite often the best way we bring others to Christ is by our personal relationship with them.  We have friends and acquaintances that we can be open with about our faith.  We have seen that already in Andrew and Peter.  In this episode, we’ll see it again with Philip and Nathanael.  

 We’ve also stated before that as we progress through the list of the Apostles, we begin to see less mentioned about them directly in scripture.  And I’ll continue to focus on the scripture references about them as it is available.

 Remember that whether there is a lot or not very much information, we should not discount their contributions or what we can learn from them.

Of all the characteristics God created in us, the one that lasts through eternity, and is therefore the greatest, is love.  In this episode we will look at some of what Paul teaches about this great characteristic.  Like the concept of grace, love was taught and demonstrated by Paul throughout his letters.

As we walk with our Master we might wonder if there is value in our efforts.  Certainly we have value as God's children in much the same way our children have value to us.

In this episode I look at the question "Does God Need Me?"  Of course He does, but I'd like to look briefly at why this is so.

The Prattville church family is made up of so many people from different walks of life.  There is a lot about them we don't know.  Best of all, so many of our members are dedicated servants who go about walking with our Master in quiet but effective ways.

That is at the heart of this podcast.  I am thrilled to get to know these silent but effective saints.  One example is the guest in this episode.  I have a conversation with Fredrick Harbaugh.  Fredrick is always ready to help and serve as he is able.  He is missed when we don't see him in his customary place.

I invite you to listen and get to know Fredrick.  Please notice how he answers the question God asked Moses when he asked him, "What is in your hand."  Frederick takes his knowledge and abilities and dedicates them to serving our Lord and the body of Christ.

He is a great example of what it means to walk with the Master.

Have you ever wondered why most images of Calvary show three crosses when truly only one cross is important?  I thought about that recently and came to understand the symbolism of not only our Lord's cross, but also the relevancy to remember the other two.

Quite often when a member of a ministry team leaves there is a bit of trepidation about what comes next.  Jason and Cassie Green recently departed to take on a new ministry effort.  They were very successful with our congregation's spiritual growth, especially among our youth.  They will be missed.

Recently we added Jared and Whitney Kelly to become our new youth minister.  They have already begun to capture our hearts.  This dynamic couple bring to us a wealth of knowledge and skills and well grounded spiritual maturity.  We can be assured that our youth are in good hands.

I invite you to listen to this podcast and see why I feel this way.  I have to say, I laughed out loud a couple of times as I got to know them.  I look forward to journeying with them as together we walk with our Master.

Scripture is full of short and seemingly insignificant events.  Yet these events, like the more well-known events also teach us valuable lessons.

One such event was when Jesus healed Peter's Mother-in-Law.  It isn't by accident that this event is included in God's word.  It teaches us something important about Jesus and also our reaction to blessings.

I invite you to listen to this episode and think about what it teaches us about our Lord's love and compassion for all of us, no matter who we are.

In the ongoing series, Twelve Were Chosen, we are looking at Andrew, the brother of Peter.  As we introduced this series I stated that these men give us characteristics we can learn from.  This is no less truer than with Andrew.  Although there is little in the scripture about him, he stands as a wonderful example that we must follow. 

Although many identify with Peter, we probably share more in common with Andrew.  For example, have you ever: 

• Encourages someone with a smile? 
• Invited someone to a Bible study? 
• Invited someone to church to hear a special speaker?
• Picked up someone to bring them to services? 
• Taken food to someone? 
• Given someone a book to read or tract about a specific subject?  

These are just a few ways we have shared the characteristics of Andrew.  In doing so we have shared the gifts God has given us.

At the cost of repeating myself, the Prattville church of Christ has an incredible group of young adults.  Alex and Raegan Saucedo are perfect examples of this.  Their excitement as a young married couple, their incredible vision of the future ahead of them as active members of our church family, and their desire to faithfully serve our Master are just some of the qualities they bring.  So sit back, enjoy your coffee, or turn up the volume wherever you are if you can and enjoy listenting as together we walk with our Master.

This is the second episode in Twelve Were Chosen, a series of presentations about the 12 original apostles.

When asked which of the apostles we most associate with, many will say, Peter.  This is because Peter has the reputation of saying the wrong thing in the wrong way, and often in the wrong time.  

In this episode I will discuss how there is much more to this remarkable yet ordinary man as he was selected by our Lord to carry the gospel into all the world.  We'll look at how Peter was transformed into someone that would serve the Master throughout the remainder of his life and how we too can take what Peter learned and become champions for our Lord.

It is an absolute thrill for me to interact with our church family at the Prattville church of Christ.  I am continually blessed by their presence and association.  One of the special blessings of the Prattville family is our young adult group.  This dynamic group of upward mobile Christians are well represented by so many.  

In this episode I have a wonderful conversation with Jon and Josie Sanders.  They are a new family here at Prattville and are a new family.  They were married this past summer and are now sharing their life together, with the Lord, and encouraging the rest of us along the way.

In our conversation we will learn about their careers, their aspirations, and what the Prattville family means to them.  And it’s only right that we let them know how much they mean to us.

I encourage you to listen to this outstanding couple and if you see them around town or at our church assemblies, let them know how grateful we are to have them in our family.

This is episode 1 of a 10 part series on the apostles. This episode in an introduction to the series.  In it we will gain insight into the difference between a disciple and apostle.  We briefly look at how Jesus prepared Himself to call the 12 and what these remarkable men had to overcome as they grew in their faith.  

The intent of this study is to look briefly at the lives of these men from what we find in scripture and to learn from them how to strengthen our walk of faith.

It is natural that we want to please those we love and that love us.  We give gifts, do special things, pay attention, and other ways to express our love and devotion.

It is important that we seek to know and do the things that please God, our heavenly Father.  Certainly it is important because we want to avoid punishment.  But as we grow spiritually we understand that we seek to please Him because our love for Him grows.

In this episode I will discuss what displeases God but emphasize what pleases Him as we walk with our Master.

If you tuned in or were participating in our Sunday morning worship service recently you heard an excellent sermon by Brent Missildine, our minister.  Brent's lesson came from Matthew 8 where Jesus healed the man suffering from leprosy.  

I thought I'd share a podcast episode from two years ago where I spoke about this event as well.  It shows the love and compassion of our Lord as He brought this man from hopelessness to hopefullness.  In this episode we will learn how he progressed because of his interaction with Jesus.  And we will look how that applies to us today.

I personally understand in a small way how this man felt.  In the early days of my cancer treatment there were times where I felt a sense of loneliness.  It is very common for someone with challenges to their hope to feel a sense of loneliness.  We must be aware of that and make even more effort to be there for them.  And to those experiencing the loneliness, please let us be there for you.   Remember, no one walks alone.  This is especially true to those of us who love our Savior and have been washed of our sins and added to His family and Kingdom.

One of the strengths of the Prattville church of Christ is the diversity of our members.  We come from all backgrounds and walks of life.  We have unique experiences that help us meld together into a warm and loving family.

In this episode I have a conversation with Diane Harris.  Diane has been with our congregation for many years and is part of the fabric of our family.  We miss her when she is traveling or otherwise not in her customary seat.  

I personally enjoyed her comments when I taught classes.  She was always listening and sometimes, tinking ahead.  

I invite you to listen as we get to know Diane.  You'll see why we appreciate and love her.

In God’s infinite wisdom He created His church.  Part of that creation was its organizational structure.  He said we are to have men appointed as our shepherds where were able to lead, guide, oversee, correct, teach, and help us stay faithful to our Lord.  He also stated that these men are to be married to godly wives to help them in their ministry.   At the Prattville congregation we are blessed to have such men and their wives as our shepherds.   The success and faithfulness of the Prattville church is seen through their leadership.  

In this episode we get to know Dave and Pam Hall.  Dave has served as one of our shepherds since 2019.  Pam has been there as well helping him, encouraging him, and being a wonderful example to so many.  We certainly love this couple.

Sometimes followers of Christ, especially young Christians may feel reluctant or intimidated about sharing the gospel.  They may want to, but feel they don't have the confidence or knowledge to do so.  We can learn and grow in confidence as we make the effort to share.

But there are ways we all can share the gospel no matter our knoweldge and experience.  We can do so in natural ways.  

In this episode of walking with our Master I want to present some ideas about how we can share the gospel and to encourage all of us to seize the moment God gives us every day.

I invite you to follow our podcast and share it with others as together we walk with our Master.

In the United States we celebrate a lot of holidays.  We usually have a favorite holiday.  Many, especially children love Christmas.  We enjoy the Fourth of July as we celebrate our nation and enjoy cooking out and fireworks.  But my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving.

In this episode I look at Thanksgiving by discussing the two words, thanks and giving.  I hope you'll listen as I express how thanking and giving are a natural part of who we are as we walk with our Master.

As we enter into the annual holiday and shopping season we feel that there is an increase threat to our personal and property security.  Although we focus on that in this episode, it is important all year long.

Travis Ray, former police officer in Prattville and current investigator for the state of Alabama discusses practical steps we can take to secure our person, our loved ones, and our property.

Please share this important episode with others.

The title for this podcast is Walking With Our Master.  I take this opportunity to discuss with Brent Missildine, minister for the Prattville Church of Christ, what it means to walk with the Master.

In our conversation we look at various scriptures that use the expression walking with our Lord.  We discuss what that expression means, who is our Master, how we walk with Him, and how we can return to walking with Him when we stray.

You might know someone struggling to walk with our Master.  Perhaps you are challenged.  The wonderful news is that our Lord invites all to walk with Him, even those that have rejected Him and want to regain their walk.

The Prattville church of Christ is a growing family.  We have grown by reaching out into our community with the good news of God's grace and salvation.  We have also been blessed by families growing and new families moving into our area and wanting to be a part of our efforts.

In this episode we are going to get to know Jim and Teresa Bitterman.  

This wonderful family has been a part of our congregation for about a year after hearing about us and wanting to work with us.  They have already made a tremendous and positive impact on us as we have come to know them.  They share with us the love of our Lord in many ways.  We especially see it in the joy they express to all.

On a personal note, they are part of our growth group so my wife and I have the opportunity to interact with them in that activity.  Again, they always express the love and joy of our Lord as they encourage all of us as fellow Christians.

 Listen to the joy and love in their voice as together we walk with our Master.

The word servant is a critical description for those who are disciples of our Lord.  Sometimes that title is a formal one to describe those of our leadership but other times it is an earned title through the consistent efforts to show the grace, love, and compassion of our Lord.

Jeremy and Melenie Cleveland are such servants.  They faithfully show the Lord to our community and beyond in many ways.  They are a vital part of our membership and loved by those that know them.  They are also a vital part of our community and the surrounding area.  They use their opportunities in that capacity to also show our Lord to others.

In this episode you will get to meet this dynamic couple.  They talk a bit about themselves, their involvement, and why the Prattville church family is so special.

A personal story, I used to hand out stickers to our children in the congregation.  The Cleveland's daughter, Shanna would come to me for stickers on Sunday mornings.  One day she didn't so I asked her did she want some stickers.  She looked at me with the sweet eyes of hers and said, "No Mr. Dave, I'm too old for stickers."  Now we see her going off to college and making her way in the world.  What a joy it is to see that.

It seems like I am repeating myself as I say that the family at the Prattville church of Christ is made of many wonderful members.  It also seems like an understatement.  We have such a wide variety of backgrounds that blend together to bring their strengths to showing the grace, love, and compassion of our Lord in their lives.

One wonderful couple that we love dearly is Clip and Glenna Knapp.  This couple have served our Lord and our congregation for many years.  Even while they were away from us for a while they remained in contact and part of us.  

In this episode we learn a little bit about this couple.  We see in them the dedication they have for our Lord, our membership, and our community through their direct involvement at many levels.  I encourage you to listen and see why they are loved so much by so many.

Sometimes I think of the Prattville church of Christ as a treasure chest full of precious gems.  One such gem is our beloved Raymond Elliott.  Raymond has given his entire life to serving our Lord and His church.  We have enjoyed the company and encouragement of Raymond and Miss Virginia for many years.  He is a shepherd, counselor, confidant, encourager, and leader.  I have enjoyed having him as a personal mentor in my walk of faith.

It is a joy for me to have a conversation with this wonderful man as we talk about using the talents, great and small, that God has blessed us with.  

Please join us as together, Raymond and I walk with our Master.

I've stated many times that service to our Lord takes many forms.  We must serve as we are able.  God doesn't state in a specific way what He expects as service.  Rather He says to use what He has gifted us with and to do so with love and to glorify Him.
 
 In this episode I have the honor and joy of interviewing my wife, Lynne.  We will talk about her personal ministry of creating beautiful greeting cards.  Sometimes the cards are also included in some of our other outreach activities such as our meals program and to welcome our visitors.  
 
 As you listen to her talk about this ministry and her gift for it, listen to the joy she communicates.  Listen to the love for the ministry and for others.  You too can experience that joy and love as you discover and use your gifts as together, we walk with our Master.

One of the strengths of the Prattville church of Christ is the way our families blend together as we serve our Lord.  We have so many from different backgrounds, cultures, education levels, and so many other elements.  We also have some historical (and some hysterical) members.  One such family at Prattville is Kurt and Debbie Cammack. This remarkable couple came to our congregation when we needed them the most.  I am a big believer is God’s providence and I see it working through this couple.

In this episode we learn about Kurt and Debbie and why we love them so much as a vital part of our family at Prattville.  We will learn something about them personally and how they view their role in our family.

When our Lord put together His Kingdom, the church, he provided for us everything we needed to be successful as His subjects and servants.  Among the plan is the organization and leadership.  How it is organized and led is another indication of the amazing brilliance of our creator.

Each congregation is to be separate and led by a body of men known by different names, elders, bishops, and shepherds.  Many like the title shepherd most of all since it embodies the role of these leaders.

In this episode I have the honor of talking with two of our shepherds at the Prattville Church of Christ, David Hall and Sammy Huggins.  We discuss a bit about them personally and then their view of their role as our shepherds.

Please note the compassion, motivation, love, and dedication to our Lord and the members of our church family.  It is only a small reason why we love these men.  I know you will enjoy this conversation.

I like to ask guests on the podcast to describe our congregation in their own words.  My guest in this podcast summed up the description using the word, family.  I think that is a perfect description.

In this episode I am chatting with one of our wonderful family members, Martha Martin.  Martha leads a valuable ministry that helps hold us together as family and looks out for each other as family.  

 I invite you to listen to this episode as we get to know Martha better and this exciting ministry.

It is very true to say that the heart of the Prattville Church of Christ is its people.  Billy and Doris Adair are a wonderful example of this as we see the love and warmth they have for each other, the family at Prattville, and those around us. 

It was my honor to chat with them in this episode as they discussed their memories, their involvement in our church family and community, and their view of the future of our congregation.  I also ask you to listen to the love and joy in their voice.  It is who they are and why so many of us love them so.

I invite you to listen and enjoy this as much as I did visiting with them.  I also ask you to share this with others.

One of the exciting things about being a part of a congregation is to have new families move into our area and become a part of our church family.  In this case, not only do we have a new family, but we also have a new member of our ministry team. 

 In this episode I have a conversation with Remington Afre, or Remy as we know him.  Remy is our new Young Adult Minister at the Prattville Church of Christ.  We discuss some about him and his family, his role in our congregation and his goals for his ministry area.

 He already feels loved and welcomed which is a hallmark of the Prattville church.  I invite you to listen to this very talented and dedicated young man.

It is logical that if we are to walk with our Master, we should know who He is and what He teaches.

In this episode I introduce a bit about Jesus.  This is just a summary.   The study of Jesus and His teachings, especially how to apply them in our life is a life-time study.  He teachings don't change, but we change as we grow older and have more life experiences.  The application of His teachings may be applied in different ways to our life.

I encourage you to join us in this wonderful journey of learning about and following our Master, Jesus Christ.
