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.

July 08, 2025 • Hal Hammons • Season 7 • Episode 323

We’re touring the United States this month, starting with the biggest state of all. This week we’ll discuss the pros and cons of chasing gold (turns out there may be more of the latter than the former); the crazy scheme that saved America, and then saved it again, and again; the easiest way to wealth you’ve ever heard of – but which still requires some effort; and perhaps the silliest reason the Hammonses have ever had for buying a board game – and how, strangely enough, it isn’t working out that well for us.
