Mornings with Seth and Deb
August 14, 2023
Hour 1: Created in the Image of God: A Conversation with Lauren McAfee
There is a growing confusion in our culture over our identity as people. The very definitions that were universal and known in the past are now being redefined, and the value of life is questioned and sometimes discounted. What does it mean that we are all, every human being, created in the image of God? Knowing what this truth means will change how we see others as we go throughout our day and week! Ken and Deb talk about it with Lauren McAfee who has, along with other experts, studied this question and provides applications and implications in a new resource that we are highlighting and exploring on Monday's show.
Hour 2: When the People Pray: A Conversation with Thom Rainer
When was the last time you prayed for your Pastor? When Pastor, was the last time you asked your congregation to pray for you? Pastor Thom Rainer asked his congregation to pray for him and the response was overwhelming and the results transformative for the church. Be listening to hear this incredible story along with practical and specific ways to pray for your pastor on Monday's Ken and Deb in the Morning.
