ON TODAY’S SHOW
We’ve got a jam packed show today. We talk about the “Ten Commandments vs Faith”, and because so many of you have asked me about my opinion of the best selling book, the Shack, I give my review.
Away In A Manger Was written in 1887, and is commonly known as “Luther’s Cradle Hymn.” But did the great German Reformer, Martin Luther, really write the words? Did he sing them by the cradle of his little son, Hans?
Listen to the show for a possible answer.
This hymn is beautifully performed by David Phelps, from his wonderful Christmas CD/DVD set “O Holy Night.”
Away In A Manger
Lyrics: Anonymous
Music: James R. Murray
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle til morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.
I have got such a great show for you, and I can’t wait to introduce one of today’s great musicians to you. If you are not familiar with the music of Phil Keaggy, believe me, you are in for a treat. If you ARE familiar with him, you are in for a treat, too, because you are going to get to hear him in a way that you probably never have…because Phil and I had a chance to talk last week for over an hour, and you are going to get to know another dimension of this remarkably gifted man.
During our conversation, we talked about many different musicians, and I have woven some clips of most of them into our conversation, so you’re going to get to sample many different artists and genres today. Kind of an audio smorgasborg. I hope you like it, and I hope you’ll give me feedback. Call me toll free at 877-433-9091, or email me at steve.lifespring@gmail.com.
By the way, I mention in the show that the new CD, Phantasmagorical, will be released “any minute.” The CD is NOW AVAILABLE! Buy it now here or here!
Woah! I’ve got a fantastic show today! You are going to be so glad that you listened today, and you’re going to want to tell your friends about the show too. Get ‘em to listen to the show! Tell ‘em how to download the show, better yet, tell ‘em how to subscribe!
New Theme?
There’s a bit of a push back from the Lifespring family! Some are saying we like the new theme, some are saying keep the old. What’s it going to be??? I need more voice messages from you all to let me know how you feel about the theme. Do you prefer the old ls theme……or the new upstart???…….. I’m going to let you decide! The theme that gets the most amount of voice mail will be the theme we stay with. Email doesn’t count, unless you are outside of the U.S. If you’re outside of the U.S., then you are allowed to email. The voice mail won’t cost you anything if you are in the U.S. It’s a toll free call and the number is 877-433-9091. Email for non us residents is steve.lifespring@gmail.com.

Now, on with the show!
I cannot tell you how unbelievable excited i am to have this show for you today. What an incredible honor it is to be able to have you, the lifespring family, be the very first to hear Dove award winning, multi gold and platinum albums recipient, Contemporary Christian Music pioneer, survivor, my friend, my neighbor, and my brother in Christ, Bryan Duncan and his NehoSoul band’s brand new, not yet even available in stores or online, brand new CD called “Still Dancin’” It’s so new that mastering was just completed a day or two ago. My copy of teh CD is still warm, just out of the oven.
Bryan came to my house just yesterday…I’m recording this on Tuesday morning, July 22, 2008, and spent a couple of hours with me talking about the album. We videotaped part of our conversation, so you’ll want to keep an eye on Lifespring.TV, youtube, mevio, and other places over the next several days because I’m going to be releasing the video in chunks, and we recorded the audio that you are about to hear. I don’t think this has ever been done…at least I’ve never heard anything like what you are about to hear…and I think you’re really going to like the next 56 minutes. So let’s get right to it…
Hoo boy. She’s all over the place. She’s rich. She’s famous. She’s number two on the iTunes store’s most popular podcast list, and number one in the religion category.
And I’ve been getting lots of questions from listeners and family members and church members. What about this teaching that Oprah Winfrey is doing on this book, “A New Earth”? What about Oprah’s religion? Oprah says she’s a Christian, but is she really?
