http://lifespringpodcast.com en-us Copyright 2008 Lifespring! Podcast Steve Webb Jesus said, "Whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life," and, "Who do you say that I am?" Here, there's music, conversation, and reasons to believe. Lifespring! is about answering the question Jesus asked: "Who do you say that I am?", and showing how your answer to that question can and does make a difference in your life today. Podcasting's Original Christian All-Podcast Podcast. Since November 13, 2004. Jesus said, "Whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life," and, "Who do you say that I am?" Here, there's music, conversation, and reasons to believe.

Folks, as I record this, we are two weeks away from Christmas, and I really feel like we need to be encouraged. We need to hear from God. Let's face it, as we listen to the news, or read the paper, or scan through our RSS subscriptions, the world is in pretty bad shape. The economy, pretty much world wide, is in a decline. Just last month, over a half million people in the U.S. lost their jobs. The U.S. government is shoveling billions and billions of taxpayer dollars...your money and mine...into failing companies, with doubtful benefit to you and me. 401k account balances are in the tank. Thankfully, gasoline prices are lower than they have been in years, but do you think that's going to last? Personally, I don't. I could go on, but that's not what I want to talk about today. I want to encourage you. If your family is anything like mine, or millions of other families in this country, there will be fewer gifts under the tree this Christmas, because of the things I mentioned a few moments ago. Should we be sad because that? Should we be fearful because of the economy? Who is in control? To whom do we go for advice, for reassuring words, for strength, for courage? I think you know my answer. We go to the Lord. God is still on throne. He hasn't lost His job. He is not surprised by falling stock prices or the big three auto makers on the brink of bankruptcy. Jesus is still our salvation, our redeemer. The Holy Spirit is still our Comforter. Today, I want to look at several scriptures that remind us of what God has said. I'll be reading a lot of scripture today, and commenting a little. His words are much better than mine, and I just really think that we need to hear from God today, and not so much from Steve. I hope that's okay with you. Listen to the show to hear the what God has to say to lift our hearts. steve.lifespring@gmail.com (Steve Webb) Thu, 11 Dec 2008 00:35:00 -0700 Hosted by Steve Webb.

I think you know my answer. We go to the Lord. God is still on throne. He hasn't lost His job. He is not surprised by falling stock prices or the big three auto makers on the brink of bankruptcy. Jesus is still our salvation, our redeemer. The Holy Spirit is still our Comforter. Today, I want to look at several scriptures that remind us of what God has said. I'll be reading a lot of scripture today, and commenting a little. His words are much better than mine, and I just really think that we need to hear from God today, and not so much from Steve. I hope that's okay with you. Listen to the show to hear the what God has to say to lift our hearts. clean 00:36:21 http://lifespringmedia.com/shows/lifespring/ls182.mp3 steve webb, lifespring, economy, encouragement, depression, promises, godcast, christian, jesus, podcast We're to warmer climes today and Madagascar!

Today you are going to hear some of the best music out there because I'm going to share a conversation I recently had with Mr. David Phelps. Perhaps best known for his 8 years with the Gaither Vocal Band, he's been solo since 2005, releasing five or so CDs since then. He has an amazing tenor voice, with a three octave range. His audiences have included George W. Bush, massive crowds at Billy Graham Crusades, four Dove Awards, two Grammy Awards, and over 13 gold and 15 platinum-selling projects. If you have never heard him, you are in for a treat today, and if are familiar with his work, I think you'll enjoy getting to know him better today. You'll hear some songs from his two newest projects, and he talks about his childhood, how he decided that he wanted to make singing his life's pursuit, how he met Jesus, and lots more. steve.lifespring@gmail.com (Steve Webb) Tue, 02 Dec 2008 00:10:00 -0700 Hosted by Steve Webb.

Chuck Girard was one of the founding members of the group, Love Song, which first started singing at Calvary Chapel Bible studies in Costa Mesa, California. This was at the very beginning of the Jesus People movement, which began at Calvary Chapel. Even before this time, however, Chuck was there during the early days of rock 'n' roll, recording with several bands, including The Castells and The Hondells.

Lifespring! HymnStories tells the stories behind some of your favorite hymns. Today: One of the best histories of the gospel song era is George Stebbins' autobiography, Reminiscences and Gospel Hymn Stories. Stebbins was born in ht e mid-1880s in New York and showed early musical prowess. At age twenty-three, he moved to Chicago where he worked in churches and became acquainted with some of the "greats" of gospel music, such as Sankey and Bliss. In the late 1870s, D. L. Moody got hold of him, sending him into a lifetime of music evangelism. Listen to the show for Stebbins' account of the first time he and D. L. Moody ministered together, and how "Jesus, I Come" came to be written. An updated rendition of the hymn is beautifully performed by Scott Wesley Brown, who graciously granted his permission to use his song on today's show. steve.lifespring@gmail.com (steve Webb) Mon, 25 Aug 2008 22:35:00 -0700 Hosted by Steve Webb. Lifespring! HymnStories tells the stories behind some of your favorite hymns. Today: One of the best histories of the gospel song era is George Stebbins' autobiography, Reminiscences and Gospel Hymn Stories. Stebbins was born in ht e mid-1880s in New York and showed early musical prowess. At age twenty-three, he moved to Chicago where he worked in churches and became acquainted with some of the "greats" of gospel music, such as Sankey and Bliss. In the late 1870s, D. L. Moody got hold of him, sending him into a lifetime of music evangelism. Listen to the show for Stebbins' account of the first time he and D. L. Moody ministered together, and how "Jesus, I Come" came to be written. An updated rendition of the hymn is beautifully performed by Scott Wesley Brown, who graciously granted his permission to use his song on today's show. no 00:08:13 http://m.podshow.com/media/206/episodes/123813/hymnstories-123813-08-25-2008.mp3 bible, religion, christian, jesus, godcast, hymns, invitation, scott wesley brown Hosted by Steve Webb.

As we start this week, we have two very serious prayer requests: Suzanne, Robin’s wife, is facing surgery this coming Wednesday for a tumor. Eight years ago she had a very serious form of cancer. There have been several weather-related deaths in the past few days in the midwestern and southern parts of the United States. We pray for the families of the victims, and for God’s presence in the storms. no 00:10:59 http://m.podshow.com/media/16932/episodes/112008/prayer-112008-05-11-2008.mp3 christian, godcast, inspirational, jesus, prayer, religious Hosted by Steve Webb.

In eight days, we hosted i believe eight different missionaries and gave them a chance to tell us about their ministries. Some of their presentations were recorded, and over the next week or two, I'll share those recordings with you. What was very exciting for me is that my church invited me to tell them about what the Lifespring! Media family is all about. My church has decided to support Lifespring!

Well guys, it's time for one of those conversations that some call "a heart to heart." This is a conversation that I’ve been thinking about for a long time, but didn’t quite know how to broach. And by the way, I’m talking primarily to those of you who have been with me for awhile. If this is your first time listening to the show, or if you’re new and still just checking out the Lifespring family, then you’re welcome to listen, obviously, but you’re not who I’m mainly addressing myself to...(Listen to the show for the entire message.) I also talk about Eliot Spitzer, Easter, and a Grandma's interesting take on the way some fairy tales begin. steve@lifespringpodcast.com (Steve Webb) Fri, 14 Mar 2008 01:25:00 -0700 Hosted by Steve Webb.
