ponderingGod - God for a Walk
<p class="MsoNormal">In Ephesians 2:10, Paul reminds us that we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand for us to walk in. This episode explores three powerful truths: God intentionally created us, our lives are not random but part of His loving plan, and the good works He calls us to are often found in the ordinary opportunities of daily life. Learn how God's grace frees us from striving and invites us to simply walk faithfully in the path He has already prepared.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">(For more information on Peace Lutheran Church, where Craig currently serves as Pastor, visit <a href= "http://www.peacearlington.org/">www.peacearlington.org</a> <strong>Please share this podcast with a friend</strong> , and do us a favor by giving us a rating and review wherever you listen to this podcast!<br /> Get your very own ponderingGod Podcast sticker for your water bottle, or coffee cup, or laptop cover, or bathroom mirror.... simple send your address to me through our comment page at <a href= "http://www.ponderinggod.org/">www.ponderinggod.org</a><br /> To support the ministry of PonderinGod and help cover our online and production costs, visit our <a href= "https://www.craigmccourt.com/support-us">support page</a>).

ponderingGod - National Hotdog Day
<p class="MsoNormal">On this special National Hotdog Day episode, Pastor Craig explores Psalm 145:15-17 and the beautiful truth that God continues to open His hand and provide for all His creatures. Using everything from hotdogs and baseball to daily bread and God's ongoing care, listeners are reminded that the Lord often works through ordinary things to sustain life and bless His people. Along the way, enjoy some fun hotdog history, surprising statistics, and a reminder that the Church is called to go where people are—whether that's a sanctuary, a neighborhood picnic, or a ballgame. Most importantly, discover how God's kindness and provision point us to Christ and inspire us to share His love with those around us.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">(For more information on Peace Lutheran Church, where Craig currently serves as Pastor, visit <a href= "http://www.peacearlington.org/">www.peacearlington.org</a><br /> <strong>Please share this podcast with a friend</strong>, and do us a favor by giving us a rating and review wherever you listen to this podcast!<br /> Get your very own ponderingGod Podcast sticker for your water bottle, or coffee cup, or laptop cover, or bathroom mirror.... simply send your address to me through our comment page at <a href= "http://www.ponderinggod.org/">www.ponderinggod.org</a>)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Check out this amazing publication for National Hot Dog<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Day "<a href= "https://hot-dog.org/sites/default/files/pdf/Hotdog-Facts-Figures-Folklore-Brochure.pdf">Hotdogs, Facts, Figures, Fokelore</a>"</p>

PonderingGod - God is Right Handed
<p class="MsoNormal">In this episode of the Pondering God Podcast, Pastor Craig explores Isaiah 41:10 and the four powerful promises God gives His people: His presence, His strength, His help, and His promise to uphold us with His righteous right hand. Through Scripture, illustrations, humor about left-handed and right-handed people, and a Christ-centered focus, listeners are encouraged to trust God's faithfulness rather than their own strength. Discover how these promises provide courage in everyday life and inspire us to be the Church that goes to the people with encouragement, compassion, and hope.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">(For more information on Peace Lutheran Church, where Craig currently serves as Pastor, visit <a href= "http://www.peacearlington.org/">www.peacearlington.org</a> <strong>Please share this podcast with a friend</strong> , and do us a favor by giving us a rating and review wherever you listen to this podcast!
