Dr. Anthony Fauci is now a bobblehead: How to be able to say, ‘I arise today through mighty strength’ Apr 03, 2020

Show notes

I’m sure you’ve seen Dr. Anthony Fauci on television in his role as the United States’ top infectious disease specialist.

Dr. Fauci is getting his own bobblehead courtesy of the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum in Milwaukee. It shows him in a suit as he makes a motion showing how we need to “flatten the curve” in responding to the coronavirus pandemic.

This is the least we can do to thank him for his leadership during this crisis. Tragically, Dr. Fauci is also in the news today because of rising threats to his safety.

To threaten the man who is leading the fight against a deadly pandemic seems not only illogical but irrationally dangerous. We would think that, in a time like this, we would all want the best help from the best resources available to us.

How is this fact relevant to us spiritually?

How the pandemic changed a Garth Brooks concert: The empowering joy of hearing God’s voice Apr 02, 2020

Show notes

My wife and I are longtime Garth Brooks fans. We’ve watched his mammoth television concerts in packed stadiums over the years. Last night, however, we saw him perform in a completely different way.

Brooks and his very talented wife, Trisha Yearwood, sang songs by request for an hour in a small studio accompanied only by his guitar. All proceeds benefited healthcare workers on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic.

People are doing what they can to respond to what the United Nations chief calls “the greatest test that we have faced together” since World War II. COVID-19 is now the No. 3 cause of death in the US. In two weeks, its daily death toll could double to become our nation’s No. 1 killer, eclipsing heart disease.

We urgently need to seek God’s “face” today. The more we are isolated from others, the more we need to deepen our intimacy with our Father.

Anyone you meet could be infected: How faith empowers us to face the unknown Apr 01, 2020

Show notes

By now you’ve seen the prediction that the US death toll from COVID-19 could rise above 100,000 people. We could see 2,214 deaths a day at the nation’s peak in two weeks.

One of the most difficult dimensions of this disease is the degree to which it can be transmitted by people who show no symptoms.

In other words, every person we meet could infect us with a deadly virus, whether they know it or not. And we could have the virus while being asymptomatic and infect others.

Much of what we fear with COVID-19 is the unknown: How bad will it get? What will life be like when the pandemic is finally over? Will it take the life of someone I love? Will I die?

The wrong answer is escapism, denying the reality of this crisis.

So what can we do?
