Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast) Episode 576 - Phil King - Miscarriages PHIL KING OFFERS HOPE AMIDST LOSS WITH POIGNANT    ‘MISCARRIAGES’ NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Unveiling one of his most emotive and powerful singles yet, acclaimed singer/songwriter and worship leader Phil King bows “Miscarriages” today.

"We were overjoyed to celebrate with them, but then my wife received a call with more devastating news—they had lost their ‘Baby B,’ a reference to the second child conceived in a t

Cross Purposes with Jonathan Rauch -Episode 569 - Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast)     Joining me today is Jonathan Rauch, an award-winning journalist, author, and public intellectual whose work has shaped critical conversations on politics, culture, and religion.   Jonathan’s latest book, Cross Purposes: Christianity's Broken Bargain with Democracy, courageously and thought-provokingly examines the challenges facing American Christianity today. With declining church attendance, a rise in political polarization, and questions about religion's role in a liberal democracy, Jonathan offers a fresh perspective, arguing that Christianity can and must become an ally of secular society rather than its adversary.     Drawing from history, current events, and his unique perspective as a gay Jewish atheist, Jonathan calls for a reimagining of faith’s role in public life.  Cross Purposes: Christianity's Broken Bargain with Democracy releases on February 4th, 2025 PRE-ORDER CROSS PURPOSES ON AMAZON   --

William Willimon Changes His Mind -Episode 563 - Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast)  In his new book Changing My Mind: The Overlooked Virtue for Faithful Ministry, Professor William H. Willimon narrates some of the twists and turns in his own journey as a pastor.    The context of ministry continually changes, the surrounding culture changes, and a living God demands constant movement and change. So, the book argues, pastors and preachers must be prepared to change! Some of the current assumptions about how to persevere in ministry need to be questioned. What ideas and approaches do we need to change, in ourselves and in our ministries? And how, exactly, do we change our minds and practices, when we're called to be steady, stable, and sure?  The book consists of guidance from an older, experienced pastoral leader to other pastoral leaders, especially young and new ones. Willimon frames the material around the ways he has changed his mind and offers crucial ways that he once thought about ministr
