On a walk recently I came upon an amazing church door you might appreciate.

The Test of Waiting on God

Last week we completed the theme about strong faith and how to get it. See the final post for a linked list of the 20 Truths in the series.

Next week we begin a new theme about The Test of Waiting on God.

waiting on God in the dark

There is never a time in our Christian experience when we are not waiting on God for something. This series will encourage you to hang in there.

A new audio course

I just finished creating something I have never done before. It is a 25-part audio email course on How to Get Wisdom for Everything That Matters to You. You might recognize that subject as what I wrote about last year. I have turned it into an audio book, and I am the reader.

I will go public with the course on Monday, August 15, but as a subscriber to my emails you can get early access here.

The format of the course is to email subscribers every two days with a link to one audio chapter. You can conveniently listen on a podcast player or a browser page.

So if you did not read this content when it was posted or would like to cover it again, this is a format that will easily fit into your day, as you listen while doing other things. The average post lasts 5–10 minutes.

I have three favors to ask. First, could you read the signup page and complete the signup form, and then give me your feedback (email me at brian@craigbrianlarson.com)? If you have any problems with any part of the process, please let me know. This will be a great help to me as I do my best to make this a smooth and convenient experience for users both of this content as well as future creations.

Second, could you send the link to someone you know who needs to hear this material?

Third, if the material helps you, please email me with a testimonial of one to three sentences. Tell specifically how it benefitted you. I might use your testimonial in the signup page (if you approve of my doing so).

Reunion

Last month I attended a reunion of people who once worked for publisher Christianity Today International, which I did for 15 years, ending my employment in 2012. Around 50 people gathered in the western suburb of Warrenville, Illinois, for a delightful evening of catching up with friends and former colleagues.

I stand on front row, third from left. My wife, Nancy, stands second row to my left. Marshall Shelley, for whom I worked at Leadership Journal, stands first row, first on left.

Thank you for reading. I pray for my readers regularly that God will give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God. There is no greater treasure!
