Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, who grew up in Kentucky, explains why the singing of the song “My Old Kentucky Home” at the Kentucky Derby caused him to have a teary-eyed moment of nostalgia. All the characteristics of nostalgia are explained and the role it plays in homesickness. It is pointed out that homesickness can lead to feelings of anxiety, isolation, and depression. Dr. Hall points out that there is a homesickness that is particularly Christian. He emphatically states that if you don’t have an inward feeling that because you are following Jesus that this earth is not your home, perhaps you are conforming to the mold of the world. Dr. Hall explains that professed Christians should be homesick for a place called heaven. Can also be seen on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/kAd1D_DrEII.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, and his special guest, accomplished Bible teacher, Dorothy Little discuss the biblical view of “End Times.” It is pointed out that there has been a proliferation of books and videos for the last several decades with many of the books ending up on the bestseller list. These two Bible scholars offer their opinions on why there is so much interest in the subject of “End Times.” The future found in Revelation 21:1-5 that promises God will wipe away every tear and death shall be no more creates a view that God will create a new earth and a new home and society. These promises are why the study of “End Times” creates a nearness to Jesus. When we realize that Jesus promises that he is coming soon it redirects our focus on our relationship with Jesus and away from speculation about the coming of an antichrist and the tribulation. This podcast ends with a prayer for the Lord to give us strength or encourage in our anticipation of the return of Jesus Christ. Can also be viewed on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/y1YpwOB5eQc.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, uses professional basketball as a platform to describe the complex and ingenious creation of the human body. He focuses on human legs and how God created the knee joint to have an incredible capacity for movement and strength. He points out the special role that the meniscus cartilage in the knee joint plays as the shock absorber for the human body. Dr. Hall discusses how a torn and fractured meniscus cartilage requires surgical intervention just as a torn and fractured Christian faith requires intervention. The evil of unbelief is discussed along with the intervention required to overcome a torn and fractured faith. Dr. Hall points out the things that break apart our relationship with God. He then lists some of the necessary interventions to heal fractured faith. Can also be seen on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/Liw69-7p7l0.
