Citizen of Heaven

I am Hal Hammons, a citizen of heaven. I broadcast regular reports of what it is for a child of God to live in Satan's world. My reports typically break down into four segments:"What I've been preaching" -- a point I have made in a recent sermon."What I've been reading" -- A brief breakdown of a book of the Bible or other reading material that has helped me in my understanding or application of the Bible."What I've been hearing" -- news from the internet or other sources about what is going on, either among brothers and sisters in Christ or out in the world at large."What I've been playing" -- how I've been entertaining myself in my spare time, and some spiritual points I have been able to extract.

August 20, 2024 • Hal Hammons • Season 6 • Episode 281

Texans have a reputation for bragging. In reality, we’re just worried you may not know how much better than you we are. I’m joking. I’m mostly joking. This week we’ll cover Bible braggadocio and whether it’s warranted; the many stories of Texans chasing treasure and bragging about not finding it; a Texas crooner who wants to help you understand Texans better; and my daughter’s increasing proficiency at board games that is rapidly passing mine.
