Pearls of Biblical Wisdom for Believers and Fathers

Owen Nigh (age 18) joins me in this podcast. Owen and I begin the podcast with his testimony of how he received salvation by understanding and believing the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ. He explains how the injuries he sustained in a mountain bike accident brought him to a place of brokenness before God. I explain the gospel using the words of the hymn Owen and His dad recorded for this podcast. I mention the following Bible verses that those that are not saved could look up to understand salvation – Romans, 3:23, Hebrews 2:19, 2 Cor. 5:21, 1 John 4:10, 1 Peter 3:18 and Acts 16:31.

We then interacted on the following points:

# 1 The subject of how God measures greatness in His kingdom compared to how the world measures greatness.

# 2 Owen talks about his blacksmith skills and we discussed the importance of skills in God's kingdom.

# 3 We then go into a long extended interaction on the Father / Son relationship. I was so encouraged by the enabling God gave by His Spirit to Owen and myself. With great joy I heard Owen testify in practical tangible ways what He has learned about life and God through His relationship with his dad. We had prayerfully been preparing for six weeks as to what God wanted us to share. Before we started the podcast we had a time of prayer together and specifically asked God to enable us to share anything that He knows is critically important in the father/son relationship that was not in our notes. There were multiple moments in this recording when God answered that prayer. This section is indeed the heart of this podcast.
