Stop, In the Name of God by Charlie Kirk

Today we cover the foreword, prologue, and introduction to Charlie Kirk’s seminal work before his assassination. We talk about Charlie’s legacy, friendship with Dennis Prager (who this book is dedicated to), relationship with Erika Kirk, and his mission to restore people back to life as God designed based on Scripture. Joining us to introduce the book is our sister. Are we striving to hold our lives together or are we surrendering to God’s plan for us?

Next week we will discuss chapter 1 of Stop, In the Name of God. Just a heads-up, this will be the longest and probably the deepest chapter in the book, so start reading it early in the week.

In Season 3, we are reading Stop, In the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath Will Transform Your Life by Charlie Kirk. We are excited to read from an author who was so devoted to his Christian faith on a topic that is so needed. May this not just be an interesting read, but a soul-refreshing practice that we can adopt for the rest of our lives. We are thankful you would listening and/or read along with us.

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan

What a glorious entry into heaven we read about in the final pages of this allegory.

Thank you for reading Pilgrim’s Progress with us.

Looking forward to kicking off Season 3 of Give Attendance to Reading next week.

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan

We so appreciate John Bunyan’s realistic description of the danger of backsliding and facing fears of death and disappointing God. This reading details our pilgrims’ final two challenges before entering the celestial city. Next week we will finish the book and share some personal takeaways.

Next week we will discuss pages 212-218 of Pilgrim’s Progress.

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan

Some who profess faith in Christ fall into one of these two fallacies discussed in this section: putting confidence in good deeds or merely positing a faith in Jesus without any commitment to Him (which commitment is required in the definition of true faith). Christian and Hopeful have a profitable discussion with Ignorance and amongst themselves as they continue in their journey through the Enchanted Forest.

Next week we will discuss pages 204-212 to “The Happiness of Heaven Described” of Pilgrim’s Progress.

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan

Most of the reading today covers the conversation between Christian and Hopeful about Hopeful’s conversion story. There are so many good reminders from this portion, especially the fact that we should be eager to share our own conversion story with those around us. We hope this episode encourages you to do so.

Next week we will discuss pages 194-204 to “Manner of Backsliding” of Pilgrim’s Progress.

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan

Christian and Hopeful are faced with one test after another on this leg of their journey, but they continue to make progress towards the City of Zion. This section is a good reminder that regardless of any failures you may have encountered this past week, continue to walk by faith, pursue God’s Word, and be mindful of the danger of turning aside from Him, even just a little bit.

Next week we will discuss pages 183-194 to “Good Thoughts” of Pilgrim’s Progress.

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan

After a crazy three months, we’re back and excited to pick up where we left off in Pilgrim’s Progress and see this classic through! We rejoin Christian and Hopeful as they leave the shepherds and continue on their journey. After encounters with Ignorance and Turn-Away, Christian and Hopeful talk at length about a traveler named Little-Faith.

Next week we will discuss pages 176-183 to “Hopeful’s Account of His Conversion” of Pilgrim’s Progress.
