Steve Webb http://www.mevio.com/view/?kId=49000&tId=2
Though morbid for some, this is an important topic to cover so that people know why Christians should not fear the topic of death. Ours is a bright future beyond this life while others cannot claim that future. There is death beyond physical death just as there is life beyond this physical life. ]]> "Should Christians Fear Death?" came out of a conversation with several young couples who were interested in the Christian perspective of… "Should Christians Fear Death?" came out of a conversation with several young couples who were interested in the Christian perspective of death.

"studios" until after Christmas. This is that show.

Of course, one of the great things of podcasting is "time shifting". So, let's all travel back in time...to the pre Christmas of 2006!

In this episode, Chaplain Steve tells us about what the personnel in Djibouti are doing to enrich the Christmas season for themselves, and more importantly, for the indigenous people. We also hear a very special musical number, an interview with someone on the base, and Chaplain Steve brings us a great devotional message.

You'll enjoy hearing this message from Djibouti, Africa!

It's been quite a process, but we have a solution that should work...


For this episode, he sent three separate files, which Steve Webb has brought together to produce a great show, honoring "The Men and Women of Honor Serving Our Country".


There's a short devotional from Ephesians 3:20 - 21 (NIV) Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.


Plus, there is a very special interview with "RP1", one of America's finest on the ground in Djibouti.
