Who do you Trust?  Hubba, hubba, hubba, Who Do You Trust?

So, today we’re discussing the fun issue of Trust and how it has been destroyed by so many people.  Athletes, politicians… They are all supposed to be trustworthy (or are they?) and so often they fail miserably.

More importantly, the question that we have to face is not “who do you trust?” “who can you trust?” and/or “how can you know who to trust?” it’s this:

Am I Trustworthy?

So what’s the deal with trust? To find out, All You Have To Do Is Listen!

So, the health care reform thing and a chance encounter with a woman who needed food and bus fare led to today’s discussion about charity.

People often talk about the rudeness and lack of care that Christians have for those in need.  But the Apostle Paul said in his first letter to the Corinthians that:

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away … And now these three remain: faith, hope and charity [love]. But the greatest of these is charity [love].

What is the evidence of our faith?  What is the greatest act of charity we can perform?  And just how do you start exercising those charity muscles anyway?  To find out, All You Have To Do Is Listen!

Did you know that there are people in the Church (and outside of it, for that matter) who believe in a world that existed BEFORE Adam?

Did you know that there are people who believe that the 7 days of Creation are seven LITERAL 24-Hour days?

Did you know that there are people who believe that the 7 days of Creation refer to seven periods of time that could be thousands if not millions of years?

Did you know that there are people who refer to Darwinian Evolution as God’s “HOW” but that it is not necessarily God’s “WHY”?

In this episode, Bill and James talk about all this stuff and why Christians (and non-Christians) should not be afraid to discuss these topics.

So what’s with the seven days? To find out, All You Have To Do Is Listen!

What is “H8“? Is it anything like “hate”?

In California there was a proposition (Proposition 8 or the “California Marriage Protection Act”) to define and implement in the State Constitution’s Declaration of Rights, the proviso that “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”  This proposition was in response to the California Supreme Court overturning as unconstitutional Proposition 22 which was identical to what would become Proposition 8.  The voters of California voted in favor of Proposition 8 in what is, in today’s political climate an almost overwhelming majority.

In response to this Proposition, celebrity photographer Adam Bouska and his partner Jeff Parshley institued the “NoH8 Campaign” in which various celebrities are photographed in white with duct tape across their mouths and the words “NoH8” written somewhere (usually the face) on their body; The implication of all this is that if you are in any way opposed to the absolute legalization of same-sex marriage then you are, in fact, a hate-filled bigot.

So what does that mean?  When does one cross the line from civil disagreement to hate-filled fascist?  In this episode, Bill and James tackle the issue head on.

So what is H8?  To find out, All You Have To Do Is Listen!

MIA??? Gave up??? What’s up?!?!?

Hey everybody, this is James… not that you care, you’re reading so what difference does it make who did the typing, right? Anyway, Bill and I just wanted to send out a blog update to let you know what’s going on. It’s been a couple of weeks since we released anything new and there are a few reasons for that, but we’ll get to that in a second.

First of all, The FAM Gathering on September the 19th was AWESOME! There will be a (short) show released this week with sound clips and some testimonials from the event.

Secondly, and more importantly, what’s going on with 3am Ministries? Why the radio silence?

Well, there are a LOT of reasons for our absence recently, but we first of all wanted to say that we are thankful to the people who have called in and written in to ask. That means, you’re listening and you care about what we are doing here. As to why we haven’t been recording, it has been, primarily, an issue of time. As most of you know, Bill and I have been going at this strong for about five months. We are in the infancy period of this ministry. What that means, essentially, is that we have not yet felt at a place where we could ask for or accept contributions or partnerships (SIDENOTE: There have been some people who have offered specific contributions for specific needs and as they always seemed to come at JUST the right time for what we needed – this website, for example, is the result of two of our FAMS contributing time (for development) and money (for domain hosting) – and we are more thankful for those people than words can convey.). “What does that have to do with recording shows?” you might ask… Well, that’s simple: Money. Bill and I have both been hard at work with some doors that have opened to us individually to obtain the means to make ends meet during this difficult, for lack of a more precise term, economic period.

That said, let’s be clear: Bill and I are not into 3am Ministries for the money!!! We simply have had a conflagration of scheduling nightmares that have prevented us from covering the miles between us (we live about an hour from each other) to get together to record.

Let’s get into some specifics…

I want to take a minute to brag on Bill a little bit… Not many people know that Bill is, among many things, a very talented writer. He writes songs, plays, ad copy, books, sermons… Oh, the list goes on and on… Right now Bill is, many nights, in rehearsals for a show that he wrote with Pastor Ken Hartley from Abba’s House in Hixson, TN for their Christmas production. This is going to be an awesome night, and I encourage all of you to check out the FB page for “16 Hours Till Christmas.”

I (James) have been working hard on various 3am related projects (see below), but, musically speaking, I have been very busy putting the (hopefully) finishing touches on the musical, Salome, I started writing almost nine years ago with my collaborator, Adam Steinberg. I covet your prayers as I prepare this piece for contest, competition and festival submission.

So, What About 3am???

Now, 3am Ministries, specifically, has some significant changes on the horizon. First of all, we have been working at getting to you guys LIVE! That’s right, L-I-V-E!!! One way we are considering this is the traditional radio route, but even closer is the 3amministries LIVE interactive experience! If you look to the right on this, and every page, you will see a window called “3am Ministries LIVE Feed.” Bill and I will be announcing (via Twitter and through our FB page) when we will be recording and you will be able to come here and interact with us live on our LIVE-INTERACTIVE page in our chat-room as we record the shows.

Additionally, we are expanding our content to include some “podcast-only” shows. Among these are some, for lack of a better word, “fan podcasts” of various television shows that have made their way onto the networks in the past couple of years and we feel merit a closer look than can be afforded to them in a normal “Art In Review” setting. To that end, we have in pre-production, AiR-Fringe, Air-Glee and AiR-Lost. Their are other shows under consideration, and if you have an idea for an AiR-______ show click here to fill out a suggestion form.

Also, we are putting some final touches on our partner program, “Awake at 3am.” This program will listeners to make one-time or recurring donations or to join the partner program with access to exclusive members only content: for example, a podcast feed or web-based daily audio devotional led by myself (James), Bill or the both of us together, every episode of every show (some forthcoming shows will have only certain episodes released in the general feed), 3am Merchandise and more.

So, that’s what’s going on, FAMS. Thank you again for your faithfulness and for your support. Thank you most of all for your patience as we enter the next stage of 3am Ministries. Come with us and hear real conversations from real Christians… All You Have To Do Is Listen!!!

“Go into all the world and make disciples.” Sounds simple enough, but what happens when the good news has bad delivery? What does it mean to evangelize? What does it mean to spread the good news? What does it mean to make disciples? And how can you make sure that you aren’t one of the ones making the “Good News Bad.”
