Mid-Week With Steve. (Input Welcome)

Mid-Week With Steve. (Input Welcome)

Just over three weeks ago I launched a short Facebook Live program called Mid-Week with Steve. That’s the title of the program right now anyway.  There were a number of reasons for the inaugural launch but a huge one was simply my desire to continue on with something similar to Sunday Night Discussions that Robert Tippet and I ran for a couple of years. At heart, the SND live webcasts were born out of the desire to answer hard questions about God and life.

After two years it was clear that because of life logistics, SND had simply run its adventurous course.  It was a productive and fun program. In fact, we still have people viewing the playbacks of the shows today.  However, we simply were not able to run SND any longer.  The desire to address those big questions though was still in my heart.

So in the original spirit of SND, Mid-Week with Steve was launched.  The plan is to do this live event every Wednesday at noon on my FB page.  If you have not yet taken in one of the live shows, I’ve embedded the most resent one below.  The program format is evolving but the time frame will probably continue to be around five minutes or so.  Here is where you come in. I’d like your input.  Will you give an answer to the following questions below?   You can answer here, email me, or respond via Messenger or text as well.

Thank you and I look forward to getting your ideas.

  1. Is there a better name, title, for the show?
  2. Is there a better time for the show?
  3. What other suggestions would you have for the show?  Topics or other?

31 Surprising Reasons to Believe in God. (A Review.)

One of the big items on my summer reading list was Rick Stedman’s new book, “31 Surprising Reasons to Believe in God.” I first met Rick while planting a church from scratch back in Nor. Cal from 2004 to 2009 and found him to be a humble and brilliant man of faith who truly loves people.  God worked through Rick to plant one of the greatest churches in the Sacramento area which has blessed countless people across the globe.  In 31 Reasons, Dr. Stedman systematically moves through various issues such as beauty, yearning for a better world, science, physics, philosophy, and a hopeful eternity which when looked at in detail all give us glimpses into the Divine.
