The Running A.M.O.K. Podcast 5/15/08 Serve Somebody

Download this episode (23 min)
In this issue we are going to look at ways artists can serve others. For the visual artists, I am going to share some of the things I have been privileged to be a part of over the years that have allowed me to share the gospel through using my gifts. The purpose of this is to give you some ideas and maybe just spark an idea that you can use in your community. For the musicians and dance and drama folks, I am going to share some things that I have seen over the years that have been effective. We’ll have a review of one of my favorite CDs, Better Questions by Todd Agnew. We’ll also have a writers prompt and our memory verse is Matthew 5:14-16.

How the Devil Wins and What Are YOU Going to Do About it?

Download this episode (28 min)
This week, I have combined the Running A.M.O.K. Podcast and the New Creation Fellowship Podcast. Why a combined podcast? Well this week the folks at New Creation participated in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. It’s a way to raise funds for Cancer Research with the hope of finding a cure for this dread disease. Most of the folks at New Creation have been touched by this dread disease either personally or through a loved one. I walked in memory of my Nana, Beatrice Steininger who list her battle about 14 years ago. She was one of the first people who really encouraged me in the arts and she was a great lady. To learn more about Relay for life go to www.relayforlife.org or donate to the American Cancer Society at www.cancer.org. Never fear, even though there is no running amok arts idea podcast this week there are always plenty of arts ministry resources at www.radicallyreal.com/amok.

The title of my message this week is How the devil wins and what are you going to do about it? Don’t worry it’s not a hellfire and brimstone kind of message, rather it’s the first message in my series on the book of Daniel based on Daniel chapter 1 and Matthew 4:1-11. It’s an important message for everyone that teaches techniques the enemy uses to derail our lives and ways we can overcome these attacks and stay on track.

The Running A.M.O.K. Podcast, 5/11/08 Finding the Gifts

Download this episode (23 min)
In this episode, we will look at the importance of identifying gifts and talents in all believers. To do this I will share how someone taking the time to identify my gifts changed my life forever. We will also look at how to paint backdrops and murals in preparation for VBS season, how creative people in the church can bless this very important ministry, plus a writers prompt, and a drama idea that sort of blurs the lines between the arts and makes for a very memorable presentation

The Running A.M.O.K. Arts Ministry Resource 5/4/08. It is what it is...

Download this episode (21 min)
In this issue we are going to look at alternative forms of worship, specifically painting as part of the worship service. Then we will look at a specific painting that the Lord gave me for addressing a very uncomfortable topic, called "It Is What It is." In the music department we are going to look at a mode of collaboration between musicians and visual artists that can really turn some heads and we’ll be looking at the latest release from one of the truly great modern worship bands, Remedy by the David Crowder Band. We’ll have a new writers prompt and in the drama department we’ll look at a skit I wrote about vision and evangelism called the Box that you can download free from the A.M.O.K. website. We’ll also get a glimpse into following Christ when the arts cross the line and our memory verse of the week is Ephesians 2:10.
