The Espresso shot is a quick show that highlights the weekly events and previews the upcoming show.
In Europe, during War World II, Jews would be forced onto trains and then shipped to concentration camps. There, they would be murdered. As the train traveled on, it would pass by Christian churches that knew where the train was headed. As the noisy train passed on, the church would say "Sing louder," to drown out the reminder of death as it passed by. Today, we do the same thing when it comes to abortion. We allow the culture to change the words of the reality of abortion. We, as Christians, allow the world to call it "a choice," "women's health," "a clump of cells," instead of calling it what it truly is...Murder!
We, at the Laymen's Cup, are pro-life. What that means to us is that we believe in supporting a child from the moment of conception, to the the moment of death. We want to support the child, the mother, the father in all aspects of life. That is why we have teamed up with the East Lincoln Pregnancy Care Center. They counsel women who are at a moment of criss when they find out they are pregnant. They tell the truth in giving their options. If the woman decides to abort the child, then they are there to counsel her through the process in the Gospel as well. The have programs for father too! Please go check out their website. http://www.eastlincolnpcc.org.
We are teaming up to support them. We will be attending the dinner that was mentioned on the show on April 6th. If you'd like to support the PCC, you can give directly to them, or if you donate to the show, through our support page, we will donate everything we raise from now until then to the center.
Holly mentioned several links tonight. Here is the link to a story about the history of Pro-life.
She mentioned the book, "Defenders of the Unborn" by Daniel Williams.
Also, and this is important, the Center is in danger of losing their grant called The Maternal Health Grant. If you are in North Carolina please call your state senators and ask them to support this grant.

Is there are a way we are supposed to pray? Are there certain words, or patterns we are to use? In this episode we discuss prayer. A.C.T.S. is a model we use to pray that goes along with the model Jesus gave us in Matthew 6. If you are a follower of Christ, you know that we are to pray, that is not the question, but how are we to do it?

Can we stand on the Word of God? We can say without a shadow of a doubt that we know God's word is true and perfect. In the second portion of this show, we shut the door on this topic. We affirm that the Bible is true, and God has preserved his word for us today. In every aspect of life, science, history, faith, family, you can trust the Word of God, and know that it attains everything we need for salvation.

We have a great episode coming on Monday, until then enjoy this Friday Preview.
How do we know we can trust the Bible? Last week we discussed the Canon, which means how the Scripture was measured. This week we interviewed a pastor from Nashville to help with this topic. Pastor Tom Agnew is lead pastor of Grace Church, in Smyrna, TN. He received his Bachelors from Carson-Newman College and his MDIV from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Pastoral Ministry. He is married to Amanda, and they have three boys, Caleb, Asher, and Judson. Grace Church is a plant church from Providence Baptist in Nolensville, TN. Tom makes a great point on the show, that most of the time he does not have to prove that the Bible is true, but he does spend time explaining that the Bible is inerrant and is infallible.

Great Show coming on Monday with a great Friend, but first check out the guys Super Bowl Picks.
Why can we believe in the Bible? As the guys were having a conversation this week, this question was asked, "if an atheist does not believe in the Bible, how can we tell them that it is true?" Sometimes, it is not enough to just say that what the Bible says is true. There are times that we have to present evidence that supports Biblical truth. In this episode we started to walk through how we got the Bible and the process of canonicity.

In this preview we discuss the upcoming show, but more importantly we announce a fundraise we are apart of. We are raising money for our local Pregnancy Care center. If you go and donate to our website between now and April 6, all the proceeds will go to the center.
We all know that with Christ we have freedom in him. With that freedom, we also have a duty to serve. 1st Corinthians 10:23 says "All things are lawful, but not all things are helpful. All things are lawful, but not all things build up." In this episode we discuss what has more weight, our liberty or duty?

We have all had that dreaded knock on the door. You are at home, watching football, relaxing, then all of sudden, two people knock on your door wanting to discuss their church with you. How do we respond with the Gospel in these circumstances? Patrick has a passion, and does an amazing job sharing the Gospel with Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses. In this episode we discuss how to share with these groups and how to continue the Gospel conversation with them.

Our buddy Dan redeemed himself. Earlier he brought us some coffee from Honduras, that...well, was not good. He brought us some this week, that was good. "Tueste Especial," Special Roast is the name of it. It was a great, smooth coffee. We can't wait to have more of it.

He's back ladies and gentlemen, for one show only, Patrick is back in the house. He walks us through how to share the Gospel when certain groups show up at your house.
We know that 2016 was a tough year. We saw a difficult election cycle and lost more celebrities than one would like to count. Most people are excited to see 2016 go. We at the Laymen's Cup have a lot to be thankful for. We have be been blessed beyond our wildest imagination. The show has grown by leaps and bounds. We have been downloaded on every continent, and people have reached out to us from numerous states and other countries.
The Laymen have had some ups and downs, too. One of our own, Patrick, went on into ministry, and even though we are really proud of him, it was hard to see him go. Then Bob came on, and now we can't imagine doing the show without him.
We held our first annual golf tournament that raised money for Shaun and Ann's adoption. People came from all over to help us raise money and had blast doing it.
We want to say thank you for all the interviews, from Dr. Danny Akin, Dr. Frank Turkey, Dr. Douglas Wilson, and the many friends who came to hang out, like Travis, McCoy, and John. We owe a huge thank you to Dr. Chris Griggs, our pastor, and the one who holds us in check. Thank you to all who have participated in the show.
The Laymen are especially thankful for all of the listeners. We do the show, first for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and also for you. We love all the reviews, emails and messages throughout the year. It encourages us each time someone reaches out to us.
We hope that in everything thing we do we bring honor and praise to Jesus. Our hope is always to portray the Gospel in every conversation.

Merry Christmas! We hope that you had a wonderful Christmas. We have a special treat for you today. We would like to introduce you to the Two Thieves. These are two guys near St. Louis who started a Podcast a few months ago. We recorded a show together where we discussed a few open handed issues, like what is Reformed Theology, how we started podcasting, and past guests. We hope you enjoy this show, and go check out the Thieves at www.twothievespodcast.com

Today's coffee is a secret. Kemp threw a wrench in the mix and played a game with us. As it turns out, Wes is the only one who gets it right.
Again, Merry Christmas, everyone. We believe that Christ came on this very special day, or at least its what we celebrate on this day. When he came, he came as God, laid in a manger, fully God and fully man all in one package. We believe in the Virgin Birth, and the perfection of his life. Without those facts, his death would be meaningless. With it, his death means everything.

We are previewing Monday's show, we have two very special guest on. Also, at little sports talk.
What is the your reason for celebrating Christmas?
In this Friday Preview for an episode coming out Monday, Dec. 19th, "three wise guys" discuss all the implications and eternal impact of Luke chapter 2.
Psalm 51 is one of the greatest Psalms in Scripture. David, after a stint in sin, confesses his heart to the Lord. In doing so taught us what was true confession is. This portion of scripture has blessed many hearts and we believe, when rightly viewed, will bless you, too. It was mentioned in the show that this David, he is a pretty good writer. In this Psalm he walks through the life of a disciple.

In today's Friday Preview we discuss the upcoming episode on Psalm 51, and how did Kemp do on his test?
2nd Corinthians 4:7 says "But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us." In today's show we walk through this passage and figure out what Paul means. Jars of clay is considered a common vessel that everyone used. You would never hide something valuable in these clays vessels. What is interesting, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the most valuable archeological find in history, were found in clay pots, much like Paul mentioned here.

Psalm 23 is one of the most comforting Psalms in all the Bible. It describes the Good Shepherd, and how God is our comfort in our time of need. In this show, we walk verse by verse in the sacred text. What does it mean to be a "Good Shepherd?" Does it mean to Shepherd Sheep? Does it mean the same today as it did when it was written? Here we drive sheep, in the time of David, he led the sheep. Keep that in mind as you read through the text.
