First Shallowater: FIRST THINGS FIRST

First Things First : Jackson Abney

Liminal - Occupying a position at, or on both sides of, a boundary or threshold. This week on the podcast we’re joined by Jackson Abney who talks about, among other things, how God is faithful in the liminal times in our lives -  those times when we know we are at the threshold of change, but we have no idea what is coming. We talk also talk about dogs, rap icons, the lineup for the Super Bowl halftime show. You’ll be encouraged and inspired by Jackson’s story.
 

First Things First : Joe Kirk Smith

Be careful when you ask God to clearly reveal his will to you. Sometimes he does it in exactly the way you asked! This week on the podcast, Joe Kirk Smith shares a story about a time when God did just that for him. We talk about what it means to surrender our lives to God completely, how to hear and follow God’s voice, what it takes to have a healthy marriage, and how God rescues us from ourselves sometimes.
Are you interested in the Marriage Maintenance class that Joe Kirk and his wife Angie lead? Email Ministry Assistant, Annie Abney at annie@firstshallowater.org and she will get you on the list for the next session!

First Things First : Kristi Barker

We all have that one friend, that one person who has really made a difference in our lives. This week on the podcast, we talk to Kristi Barker. She shares a powerful story about how God used a precious friend to change the course of her life. Not only her life though, but also the lives of many, many other people. We weren’t able to find the book we mention in the podcast (it’s out of print), but here is a link to Brie Gomez’s blog: https://briewhitegomez.blogspot.com/
