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.

February 11, 2025 • Hal Hammons • Season 6 • Episode 306

I love boats. If it weren’t for the time investment, the enormous financial investment, and the fear of drowning, I’d be on the water all the time. This week we’ll cover Jesus’s expertise at the captain’s wheel and how we get too distracted to appreciate it; a boat full of youngsters that found a way to defeat Adolf Hitler; a genre of music that made itself eminently mockable, and how we’re the worse for it; and how you can do your part in turning a pile of rocks into the most glorious construction project in history.
