Proud dad alert. 🙂 This video of the week is a euphonium improvisation that my son, Michael Fahrner, played this morning at church: [youtube=https://youtu.be/DEqCrXld8uo&rel=0&w=512]
Episode 7 – Heaping Burning Coals (Part 2 of 3)
Welcome Welcome to the seventh episode of Traditores Higher Frequency. This week we have the second of three broadcasts related to the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California that left 14 dead and 21 wounded on December 2nd. When such a horrible act is committed, how should we react toward the perpetrators? To answer that…
Merry Christmas!
The stockings are emptied; the gifts are open. What remains is more important: time with loved ones. Perhaps the greatest gift the Lord gave us in 2015 is a new home in a new town. From the first day we visited Strasburg, Colorado, we have seen the beauty of its land and its people. That…
Episode 6 – Heaping Burning Coals (Part 1 of 3)
Welcome Welcome to the episode number 6 of Traditores Higher Frequency. This week we have the first of three parts connected to the horrendous December 2 terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California that left 14 dead and 21 wounded. When such inexcusable evil is perpetrated, how should we react toward the evil-doers? To answer that…
Christmas Album “Must Haves” (2015 Version)
I seem to do this post later and later each holiday season…but I did start listening to Christmas music earlier in 2015! 🙂 Either way, here is my annual “Christmas Album ‘Must Haves.’” Year-to-year it doesn’t vary much, but I’ve added a few, reorganized a bit, and made sure the links are up-to-date. Also, everything…
Happy Thanksgiving!
Although this year has had its ups and downs (perhaps a bit more on the downs side)…God’s blessings keep the score so far in the positive I have no excuse but…on this Thanksgiving day…to be… Thankful. 🙂 I am thankful for my family (both biological and church), my employer (and those I work with), the…
Episode 5 – Saved by a Razor
Welcome Welcome to the fifth episode of Traditores Higher Frequency. I wrote the notes for this installment as a passenger in a Nissan Versa headed to Colorado Springs…to pick up a puppy…maybe two! 🙂 Oh, and with SiriusXM’s Holiday Traditions on the radio. Yes, I am one of those guys! I proudly listen to Christmas…
Video of the Week
This Video of this Week, “Hand of Jesus” is a brand new track…as in “released yesterday” from David Britt. I am hoping this means in 2016 David will be releasing a Christian CD of EP. 🙂 This song reminds me of a sermon I gave a while back called “The Hand of God.” Punch line…
Episode 4 – Do You Really Believe?
Welcome Welcome to episode number four of Traditores Higher Frequency! This week we build off our interview with accomplished country musician David Britt last week, where we learned a bit about him, his music, and his faith. During that interview we touched on what might be my favorite song by him, “Do You Really Believe”…and…
The First Tree?
Last Saturday, heading to breakfast at Burger King followed by a haircut, Augie (my eight year-old) and I were chatting…and…I can’t remember exactly why…but the subject of trees came up. That led to a question of the first tree, and Augie said the first one created by God was the Tree of Life. What do you…
My Christian Belief Does Not Make Me Superior…
Did that title make you think I was going to apologize for the excesses of Christianity…or possibly the reverse…that somehow I imagine I am better than non-believers? Actually, it was a play of this interesting article I saw a few days ago: “My atheism does not make me superior to believers. It’s a leap of…
Episode 3 – Interview with David Britt
Welcome Welcome to the third episode of Traditores Higher Frequency. This week you get to meet a very talented country musician and brother in Christ, David Britt. David and I connected on Skype and chatted about him, his music, and his faith. What you are about to hear is a shortened version of that dynamic…
Noticed by the Oak Ridge Boys!
I was pretty excited to find out the Oak Ridge Boys tweeted about my interview with talented country musician David Britt: Thanks @davidbritt for the great shout outs in this interview…. Good luck with @Singin4AReason https://t.co/WrshBDPbTy — The Oak Ridge Boys (@oakridgeboys) October 21, 2015 Both the Oak Ridge Boys and David Britt have hearts…
Interpreting Away the Great Comission
I read a truly disturbing article last night: “Why German Protestants Will Stop Converting Muslims” Basically, a draft document for the Protestant Church in Germany nixes the idea of evangelizing Muslims: The Church does not only categorically rejects the conversion of reform-minded Muslims but outright dismisses all missionary work directed at Muslims. There is so…
Episode 2 – Who Is Your “Midnight Man?”
Welcome Welcome to the second episode of Traditores Higher Frequency. Here is hoping the previous week has gone well for you… And that you are ready to dive into Scripture to take a look at this week’s topic, temptation. But, before we do that I’d like to introduce you to someone you’ll hear now-and-then on…
