Voices In My Head Podcast #256: An Islam Conversation with Samina and Sana Ahmed

An Islam Conversation with Samina and Sana Ahmed
This week on Voices In My Head I am joined by Samina and Sana Ahmed, a mother and daughter who are part of the Muslim community here in Springfield Ohio. It was so great to sit down with them and ask them questions about their faith. They are truly generous people who are always willing to answer any questions that people might have about their faith and on this podcast they do just that. Samina and Sana want you to be as informed as possible about Islam and have offered a free copy of the English version of the Quran to anyone who would like to know more. You can contact them by email at Sana.ahmed2010@gmail.com

Voices In My Head Episode #254: ANDREW PETERSON RELEASES RESURRECTION LETTERS, ONE ALBUM, THREE PARTS, TEN YEARS IN THE MAKING PROLOGUE – VOL. I – VOL. II

Dove Award-nominated recording artist, songwriter and award-winning author Andrew Peterson returns to Voices In My Head (The Official Podcast of Rick Lee James). Andrew recently announced the long-awaited album Resurrection Letters, Vol. I, which will release March 30 and which was preceded by Feb. 9th launch of Resurrection Letters: Prologue. Both recordings will release globally from Centricity Music, and Prologue will became available on Friday, Feb. 9 from digital retailers everywhere and through 
https://AndrewPeterson.lnk.to/Prologue.
Releasing in time for Easter, Resurrection Letters, Vol. I features songs like “Is He Worthy,” “I’ve seen Too Much” and “His Heart Beats,” the latter track being heard on Peterson’s Behold the Lamb of God tour last year. The song is about that glorious moment in the tomb when Jesus, who was dead, came back to life.
“My dream for Resurrection Letters, Vol. I is that it would be the kind of record people turned up to eleven on Easter Sunday, when Christians all over the world celebrate something that happened—it really happened—two millennia ago,” says Peterson.
Also,
 
We are in the final hours of our crowdfunding campaign to make a new album through Indiegogo. It’s not too late to help us make “Thunder” a reality. Thunder will feature original music by Rick Lee James, re-imagined Hymns, and lost music from Rich Mullins.

Voices In My Head Podcast Episode #248: Edison Churches with Jesse Middendorf, Megan Pardue, Greg Arthur, and Josh Broward

Voices In My Head Podcast Episode #248: Edison Churches
with Guests Jesse Middendorf, Megan Pardue, Greg Arthur, and Josh Broward
 
About The Book:
Innovation often brings failure—and that's okay. Using failure to learn, improve, and continue innovating will help keep the church alive in the twenty-first century. That's the message of Edison Churches, which shares the stories of ten faith communities that embraced innovation, learned from their experiences, and forever impacted both their congregations and their communities in the process. God is inviting us to participate in doing a new thing; Edison churches are leading the way.
