Meeting People Head On with Ray Schmautz 1: A Game of Inches

May 29, 2014 By Christian Podcast Central

When I was a boy, my super-athletic brother was my hero. As a grade-schooler, I would bring in news clippings of him and share them during show and tell, bragging, “This is my big brother!” So, it was only natural that I set out to be as good of an athlete as he was. By the time that I got into high school, I walked onto the school campus for the first time and one of the football coaches approached... Read more

I pray that each of you are growing in the kingdom and learning to love each other as Christ has loved us. You know, I can’t think of a better place to learn how to really love than in a stepfamily. It’s a daily choice to choose to love others as God has loved us. It’s a growing process but that process begins with wanting to please God by loving the ones He has sent us. And that always...

It’s been said that this is the year of faith-based entertainment with movies such as Son of God, Noah, God is Not Dead, Left Behind, Exodus and Mary, Mother of Christ due to hit theaters. One such movie that my dad is especially excited about is based on a book that greatly inspired him a couple of years ago – Heaven Is For Real. In the book, Todd Burpo writes that during the months after his son’s emergency surgery in 2003, his son Colton began describing events and... Read more

When I hear the word “church”, I think of little old ladies who bake delicious cookies and wear cardigans all year because they’re always cold. Or I think of a glorified rock concert. The worship team has sprung “Moves Like Jagger”, and they seem to be more focused about entertaining than glorifying God. It’s silly. It’s kitschy. And I don’t buy it. It’s not sincere. The Church is a hard thing. It’s not just a place. It’s a group of people. ... Read more

Imagine a church that meets outdoors. Rain or shine. Next to a fishing hole. Around a campfire. There’s no shortage of men in this church. In fact, guys come early to go fishing – and stay late to talk around the fire. Sound like a little bit of heaven? It’s called The Sportsman’s Church, and it meets every Sunday night in Victoria, Texas, 125 miles southwest of Houston. Bring your bible – and your fishing pole. The founder of... Read more

In Germany, people set up Easter egg trees to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection. They are much like Christmas trees, but instead of your backyard tree loaded with ornaments, lights and strings of stale popcorn, imagine it loaded with beautiful, decorated Easter eggs. It’s a glorious, breathtaking sight! (Albeit a frightening sight for those allergic to eggs.) Now, what could have started this tradition? Could it have been a lazy lack of desire to clean up after vandals egged someone’s house... Read more

Faith – many people struggle continually to have more of it. They groan and strain like a woman in labor. They think, “if only I had more faith my prayers could be answered.” Hebrew 11: 5-6 says “By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death. He could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.” Revelation 4:11 says “You... Read more
