Welcome to the first monthly episode of the Blind Jesus Freak Podcast. We will return to a weekly format in September. This week, contemporary Christian artist Ginny Owens joins Mike Calvo and Jamie Pauls to discuss the topic of worship. What is it? Why is it so important? How does it work? We may not have all the answers, but everyone shares from their hearts in this podcast and we trust that God will be glorified as you listen. Enjoy and please do leave a comment.

Scriptures On Worship

2 Chronicles 20:21-22 (KJV) 21And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever.

22And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.

Psalms 99:5 (KJV) Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.

Summer is the time when everyone loves to be outside with friends and family, take vacations and clean out the garage. Well, ok, so maybe we're stretching things a bit with that last chore, but you get the point. We recognize that schedules change during the summer months, and The Blind Jesus Freak Podcast is making a bit of a change as well. Our podcast will be moving to a once monthly format for the next three months. We aren't setting a date in stone to record live for each month, so you'll need to check our Web site or follow us on Twitter to find out when our next podcast will record. We'd love to have you join us live, but we realize that many of you are unable to do so. If you prefer to listen to us using your favorite podcast software, be sure to check our feed regularly as we will certainly be updating our content. While you wait for the next podcast feel free to browse many of Mike's past teachings and even listen to some of the older podcasts.

Please remember that everything besides recording of the podcast will be the same so please don't stop sending us your prayer requests and comments. Thank you for your loyalty to this ministry.

May God richly bless you all, have a wonderful summer, and be a Freak About Jesus!

What does a true friend look like? How could Jesus ever consider us a friend? In this week's podcast, Mike and Jamie discuss these questions and share some deeply personal life experiences that graphically demonstrate the power of true friendship.

John 15:13-16 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 13 Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do what I command you. 15 No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you. Don't forget to visit us on Tuesday nights at about 9PM. Eastern for the live recording.

Anger is one of the strongest and most passionate emotions we will ever experience as humans. But, what are we supposed to do about our anger as Christians? Can we really feel righteous anger? If so, what does it look like? What are we to do when our anger gets the best of us? How does God see our anger, what is His view on the matter, and what does He want us to do about it?

Join us this week as we discuss this thing called "anger." You might be surprised at what we find.
