This Veteran's Day...

Mon, 11 Nov 2024 12:00:00 +0000

In this special Veterans Day episode, I want to take a moment to honor the brave men and women who have served our country—and share a personal story that has shaped my life. My father served in the U.S. Army for over 20 years, dedicating himself to our nation and, even more importantly, to his faith in Christ.

📖 Proverbs 20:7 – "The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him."

My father accepted Christ as a young lieutenant stationed in South Korea, and since that day, he’s been a soldier of faith, inspiring me and countless others.

This video is for all the veterans of the armed services—thank you for your sacrifice. And to all veterans of the Lord’s Army, thank you for your unwavering commitment. Let’s continue to leave a legacy, especially as fathers and leaders, in serving both our country and the Lord.

McCurry Family Update!

Tue, 31 May 2022 16:30:00 +0000

Transcript:

Hello, friend. Welcome and thank you for listening to the Micah McCurry Podcast. Today, we will be talking about where this podcast is going, what my family and our ministry have been doing, and we will share just a few of God's blessings. Thank you so much for listening.

Let me begin with my family. My wife and I are celebrating our ninth wedding anniversary as of June 1, 2022. I'm very thankful for my wife. And I should probably take the time soon to have her on this podcast. I don't know if she'll go for that idea or not. But I'll try to twist her arm into it. But I love the opportunity that we have to serve God together.

I'm thankful for the children that God has brought to us. But of course, children grow and go on to their own families and lives. And so I'm glad that I get to spend the rest of my life and have begun with these first nine years with Rebecca Woodward McCurry; I'm thankful that she's become a part of my family, my brothers, and my mom and dad. We'll spend a few days there and then in Branson, actually Branson, Missouri, for our anniversary. I'm looking forward to that. But I'm very glad for the family that I've been adopted into the Woodward family. Pastor Dan Woodward and his wife Cindy, my mother-in-law, and my sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law. Very thankful for all of them. And the fact that we get to serve God together.

Moving on to my children. Emmy is growing like a weed; on June 21, she will celebrate her fifth birthday. Can you believe it? As many fathers would say, just a short time ago, I held her in my arms for the first time, and now, she is five years old. Somehow, Lucy, her younger sister, is only one pound lighter than her elder sister, who is 18-19 months older. So they are a barrel of trouble together. They are firecrackers, but we love them. And so they have fun getting into a lot of trouble. And we enjoy the opportunities to raise those two darlings.

In all seriousness, I'm very thankful for my family. And I'm grateful for many of you that pray for and care about our family. If you're listening right now, and even if you don't know us personally, I want to thank you for even taking these few moments to hear an update about the McCurry family. If there's anything that we can do for you, don't hesitate to reach out at the close of the podcast. I'll tell you more about how you might do that.

Moving on to our ministry. I'm very thankful for the opportunities that God has presented to our family but also on the ministry side. Of course, many of you would know that I have now passed the two-year mark in full-time evangelism. I had the privilege of serving for five and a half years in Akron, Ohio, under the leadership of Pastor Joe Grimaldi at the First Baptist Church of Kenmore. With his counsel and many other wise men, I stepped out into evangelism as of January 1, 2020. That was an interesting time; as many of you may be aware, the world shuts down just a few months later, but God has led perfectly through every step.

Speaking of God leading perfectly, many of you know or heard that there was a possibility I would be taking a missions trip soon. Unfortunately, we canceled that. My travel companion and guide, Bahji Bob or Bob DeWitt, the director of Golden Land Baptist Missions, had some visa complications. Long story short, we canceled those plans or postponed those plans. Lord willing, we will still go to Myanmar (old Burma) and India. God willing, we continue to print millions of gospel tracts for the needy, Burmese, and Buddhist people of that corner of the world. If you pray for those outreach efforts, we're very excited about what God has already done. I've already seen pictures of the very first couple of 1000 that have already been printed over there in Yangon, the capital city of Myanmar.

And so if you pray for us, and if you consider if the Lord lays on your heart, consider giving towards that project you can do so at Bible tracks. inc.org God has already raised the money for the first million gospel tracks. We're pushing for two, three or 4 million gospel tracts if the Lord allows. We've also got some projects to Ecuador Central and South America multiple projects going on to Spanish speaking countries down there. So if you Pray for that I know of at least a quarter-million going to Ecuador and another quarter-million going into Mexico and parts around there. In addition, we are sending a quarter-million to the country of New Zealand good friend of our ministry brother Lewis, how I got to preach virtually to some churches over in New Zealand and Lord willing, I'll be preaching in person in New Zealand, coming this February. So pray that different circumstances don't delay or cancel that trip either. I would love to go visit New Zealand.

Speaking of where this podcast is going, many of you know that the Micah McCurry live podcast as it was known at the beginning now just simply Micah McCurry podcast or the Micah McCurry podcast. It began with me, and long-form interviews with guests that I was interested in talking to. I said many times on this podcast that there are guests that I'd like to talk to, and if it's not a help to anyone else, I know that I got a blessing out of the time that I spent with the 20-30, almost 40 different guests that we've had own. There are some that have been very touching some very educational, some convicting many of which all of which I should say, enjoyable. And I ask you to consider, continue listening to this podcast, Lord willing, there are still many people dozens, if not hundreds, of people that I would love to interview on this podcast. And really, what it comes down to often is time as you can well imagine, it's in short supply, oftentimes, I'll pop into my brother in law's office. He's the Director of Operations here at Bible Tracts, Incorporated. This is my office, it's barely set up. I'm not going to show you behind the camera because there's still work to be done. But I'll pop into Austin's office, and I'll say something like, need anything? And the follow up to that is need anything besides a couple extra hours in the day, we could all use that. But pray if you would, that we use our time wisely. We're excited about what God has done.

We're looking forward to what God will do to events, I'd like you to consider putting on your calendar. God has blessed the Midwest Christian boys football camp in an amazing way over these past 28-29 years; we are celebrating the 29th year of football camp in Dwight, Illinois, this year, August 7 through 12th Man camp, you should consider being there. If you're a young man, come if you know some young men encourage them to come It's for ages 10 to 19. You can find more information at ManCamp1994.org. Lastly, here at Bible Tracts Incorporated are praying and faith that we can we finish and we complete the project of our brand new building. I'm sitting in our brand new building, but there's still work to be done. And we are planning on hosting a grand opening October 1, I'd like to ask you to consider coming to that free food of course the fellowship would be will be great the opportunity to meet with some friends. That'll be awesome. But to see what God is doing through this ministry around the world, I'd like to invite you personally to come October 1, that's a Saturday coming up, mark it on your calendars. Now, if you would. Next time on the podcast, hopefully sooner rather than later, we'll be talking about what God has done through a new subsidiary of Bible tracks incorporated called Paul Levin Studios. I'm not gonna let the cat out of the bag too much right now. We'll talk more about that next time. If you would consider visiting BibleTractsInc.org. If you need outreach or evangelistic materials like gospel tracks, make sure you visit Bible tracks inc.org If there's anything I can do for you, before we sign off, don't hesitate to text me you can do so at 309-316-7240. That's 309-316-7240 Thank you very much for your listenership today. I appreciate you listening to just I say just this little update about our family ministry, Lord willing, we'll talk about some more things of substance in the future and maybe have a guest or two on that will be edifying, encouraging and dare I say convicting to you as well. Thank you for listening to the Michael McCurry podcast today. Have a great day for His glory, and God bless.

A Brand New Song for Our Generation - Send Us

Tue, 26 Oct 2021 16:06:08 +0000

Hey, Friends! A mentor, former boss, and friend of mine wrote this song not too long ago. I asked Pastor Joe Grimaldi to write this for my generation and he did a great job! It was our privilege to sing this at a conference recently. I hope you enjoy it! Link to full song: https://youtu.be/L6vgtKmIrd4 Lyrics: Send Us by Joe Grimaldi Verse 1 For years they thundered boldly, from the pulpits across our land They firmly guided churches, with the Bible in their hand. But now their shadows lengthen; the course they run will end. And who will take their places, who will our Lord send? Chorus Here we are Lord, send us. This mantle to us they do entrust. Give us a double portion, that we may do Thy will. Here we are Lord, send us. That we may do them honor, whose shoes we’re called to fill. Verse 2 Your grace has brought us thus far, but we cannot live in the past. We need a fresh anointing, to accomplish this daunting task. We come with fear and trembling, our flesh too weak for the call. But your Spirit is strong within us, we bravely sing to all. (chorus) Verse 3 We plead with the next generation, whose blessings they’ve reaped from the past. Oh won’t you come and join us, while opportunity lasts. The race is set before us, our course for God is begun. The baton is being handed. Who will our Lord send? (chorus)

This interview could also be Ep. #1 of a spin off called Micah McCurry EATS. Not quite sure yet... On this episode there was great conversation, good food, excellent customer service, and clean restrooms. Not sure what more one could want from an interview. The reason this episode was at the Tip Top Restaurant in Stow, OH is because Joe Kutinsky, my guest, also happens to be the first in person interview I've had on the podcast. He recommended we meet at this diner and I thought it was a great idea. I hope you enjoyed as much as I did! I apologize for the interview cutting off at the end due to technical difficulties!

Rob has flown bush planes in Alaska, jumped out of perfectly good airplanes, skied the Andes, raced mountain bikes in the Himalayas, written and published six books, never owned a television, broken more bones than he can remember, never paid a cent of interest, and donated a portion of his liver. He carries his family of four around town on a motorcycle, collects metal pocket tops, fiddles with intricate spreadsheet formulas, listens to all podcasts and sermons at 2.3x speed, reads 50 books a year, and spends more time in God's Word than all other all other books combined. His cell phone almost always has a cracked screen, his prayer lists are covered with scribbles, and he visits the barber every two weeks whether he needs it or not.
