So We Speak sowespeak

We're very excited to have Steve Trice as our first guest of the year! Steve was the founder and CEO of Jasco Products in Oklahoma City and now serves as the chairman of the board. When he gave his life to Christ, he decided to live as a Christian at work and at home. Steve and Terry discuss the importance of discipleship, trusting God in business, and the faithfulness of God's provision in their lives. 

To kick off the year, we're looking at the most important trends in the church and in politics and making a few predictions about what 2020 might hold.

Should Christians pray for people to rise from the dead? We discuss the tragic situation at Bethel, doing the things that Jesus did, and God's will in life and death. 

How should Christians steward the environment? In light all the talk about global warming, how should Christians working in oil and gas think Christianly about their industry? This week Terry Feix interviews Steve Slawson, Vice President of Operations at Slawson Companies, about how his faith impacts his work and how Christians can think about stewarding natural resources. 
 
We've got some big goals for So We Speak in 2020! Would you consider supporting us as we head into the new year?

Nahum isn't studied very often, but he gives us a stunning picture of the character of God. It's easy to forget that God is Lord, not just over the church, but over the whole world. With some historical background, the book of Nahum comes alive and shows that God rules over nations, kings, and empires.
