Seven Wake-Ups and Counting
“Wake up sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
From February 2 through February 17, I am covering the daily Wake-Up Call for Seedbed. Seedbed is a Christian publisher and ministry “sowing for the awakening”. Every morning they do a brief morning devotional that is emailed out as well as distributed via podcast and YouTube. J.D. Walt, the Seedbed CEO, asked me to fill in for him on the Wake-Up Call leading into Lent, and I’ve done seven Wake-Up Calls so far.
Since it’s the Year Through the Bible at Asbury, I decided to offer a brief reflection and explanation on our daily reading from the One Year Bible for each of the Wake-Up Calls I’m responsible for.
We are in the part of Exodus that, shall we say, is not always the most accessible or interesting, so I thought that you folks might like to see what I’ve done over the last seven days. So, below, I’ve posted each video as well as the link to each day’s written commentary. (The videos also include me yapping a bit each day on some other stuff as well as even singing a hymn at the end of each Wake-Up Call!)

Keep reading.
