Chip Arnold is a Nashville actor who has played Paul, Jesus, and King Saul as well as Willy Loman (in “Death of a Salesman”), Henrik Ibsen, Henry Potter (in “It’s A Wonderful Life”), and many others. He was scheduled to be with us on January 6, but that breakfast was cancelled due to snow and ice.
This Thursday Chip will present -- as only he can do -- The Sermon on the Mount. Chip explains: “The words I memorized and speak are true. Most important, the words reveal the One who was and is the true source of power and life. I am not the same man.”

Philip Yancey is author of 25 books, including The Jesus I Never Knew and What’s So Amazing about Grace? His most recent – Where the Light Fell: A Memoir – is his most personal. It’s an amazing book. One reviewer said, “Where the Light Fell could be a Faulkner novel, with racist preachers, off-kilter parenting, tormented siblings, and religious hypocrisy right and left. It’s not an overstatement to say that this stunning memoir might be the miracle we’ve all waited for.”

Becca is a Nashville treasure. The chaplain at St. Augustine’s Episcopal Chapel on Vanderbilt’s campus, she founded Magdalene, a residential program for women who have survived lives of prostitution, trafficking, addiction, and life on the streets. Thistle Farms, a job training program in which women create natural bath and body products and more, grew out of Magdalene and there is also a delightful restaurant, Thistle Stop Café on Charlotte Avenue.
Magdalene and Thistle Farms seek to transform the culture around us that buys and sells women. They seek to demonstrate that love is more powerful than all the forces that drive women to the streets. This is what love looks like.

I think Jimmy Sites has had a lot of fun filming nearly twenty years of “Spiritual Outdoor Adventures,” which airs in the US (of course), is popular in Russia, Ukraine, and Ecuador, and is seen in more than 50 other countries.
Jimmy has hunted river bear and giant mountain goats in Alaska, trout in Lake Tahoe, whitetail in Arkansas, Ibex in Spain, and a giant mountain lion in Nevada. He has also filmed a visit to the Waodani tribe in Ecuador’s Amazon jungle with Steve Saint.
And that’s only the tip of the iceberg. Would you believe that Jimmy has some very interesting stories to tell?

JT Olson is on his third career . . . and he’s most excited about this one. For 23 years JT was with the Southwestern Company (door-to-door book sales), ten years with an executive search firm he co-founded, and now he is founder of Both Hands, a unique ministry that helps orphans and widows. (See James 1:27 if this sounds vaguely familiar). It’s expensive to adopt a child. Both Hands helps an adopting couple build a team to serve a widow for a day. The family and team seek sponsors for their project and the money raised helps pay for the adoption. They raise money this way instead of, for instance, raising money with a golf tournament. JT is excited to share stories about some of the widows that have been served, as well as the families and their journey of adoption. JT's story is unique and compelling. The hand of God has been on his life from an early age and it's all making sense now. It’s an inspiring and encouraging story you won’t want to miss.

Who is Don Finto? On March 5, 2020 (our last time together before the Covid hiatus) Scotty Smith mentioned how “God used the faithfulness of two men who understood the relationship between Word and Spirit to profoundly stir Middle Tennessee. They were so different from each other but they loved the same Jesus” – Cortez Cooper, pastor at First Pres and co-founder of Christ Pres, and Don Finto, pastor at Belmont Church. Corty cannot be with us in person; he died ten years ago. However, Don Finto, who at 91 has never let his passion for Jesus waiver and has never stood still, will be with us on Thursday morning. You won’t want to miss the blessing of being with Don.

Mac got his start at Southwestern Publishing and became, with his wife Susan, “legendary in real estate circles,” owning one of the more successful real estate firms in Middle Tennessee with 125 agents. In the early 2000s God gave him a new direction. Mac caught a vision for a ministry in Belize and, with others from Christ Pres, formed The Belize Project, which works in a variety of ministries – fish farms, prison ministry, schools, churches, leadership training, micro lending, and more. Susan died of cancer in 2018 and Mac has since married Nancy.
