Best Messages Ever


In some respects this page is as much for me as it is for you. 

Sometimes the best way to lift our spirits is to re-listen to the thing that lifted them the first time. So I tend to collect a list of uplifting messages to get me through the rough spots.

I should note that when a pastor falls (or so they say), I do not repent of having heard or liked their messages as if they are scum. We can learn from anyone, particularly those who made mistakes. A "fallen pastor" is an indication he was under attack and turned out to be human (like me). And since I like humans you might find a list of messages from sinners like me on this list. If that bothers you... I don't care.

This page is dedicated to those who have influenced me over the years. As I stumble across links to great/uplifting messages that truly stand out, I will include them here.

Joel Osteen's messages called:
Covered by Mercy. 
In the Middle of a Miracle

Though I can't directly link you to them, you can go to his website and search for it by name. 

Tony Robbins message called After This You'll Change How You Do Everything! - Tony Robbins

Animals are jerks




Note: the emptiness of this list is only because it's so new.

Eusebius' Ecclesiastical Hisory

Author: Eusebius
Title: Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History
Plot: The history of the Christian church from Christ ~0 to ~335 AD

There are three easy ways to do this study:

  1. Click the play button starting with part 1 on the audio players below (note: if you'd prefer, you can also listen to them on Apple or Google)
  2. You can get text for the whole series by clicking here or
  3. You can use this table to as a quick guide to find something specific

Eusebius is the reason Christians know that Peter was crucified upside down. He is the man who collected all the writings from the time of Christ to his day, organizing them, assessing their authenticity, and building them into a history. His work earned him the title, the father of church history! 

The podcasts below summarize and modernize his work with the goal to make it an interesting and even an exciting and sometimes humorous study.

Beneath these podcasts are links to resources compiled from his work; tables of Roman emperors, apostles, the 70, heresies, cult leaders and more. Because I favor ancient sources over Internet ones, these tables were produced by studying his book.

This is my review on Goodreads

Ecclesiastical History, Vol 1: Books 1-5Ecclesiastical History, Vol 1: Books 1-5 by Eusebius
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I gave this book five stars for content, but I confess it's a difficult read at times. The language is antiquated, Eusebius made assumptions about what we would know (meaning at times understanding his writing requires context he didn't include). To help, I did a summary podcast series on this 450 page whopper.
