Religious Liberty Interviews

Recently Strong Tower Radio went on-location to interview at the Lake Union's Public Relations and Religious Liberty "Early Pioneers and Social Engagement" symposium to capture programs on religious liberty. We recorded programs with the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventist Church's religious liberty director and the Liberty Magazine editor.

Hear these discussions on religious liberty this Friday at 1 p.m. and Saturday at 5 p.m. only on Strong Tower Radio stations, STR apps, or STR.fm. The symposium sessions themselves are on the Lake Union Herald's YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/lakeunionherald.

In a related topic of the Lake Union Conference, ASI (Adventist Services and Industries) Lake Union Spring Fellowship had a similar theme entitled "Community- Encouraged/Empowered/Engaged." Jilane Fenner and Tom Mejeur attended this session at Metropolitan Church in Plymouth, Michigan representing Strong Tower Radio. Those sessions may be also viewed at https://www.youtube.com/lakeunionherald.

Parenting, God Style

Jesus made a visionary statement to the disciples that, “if you have seen Me, you’ve seen the Father.” (John 14:9) To better understand our heavenly Father, we are hereby invited to study Jesus’ life.

Father or Motherhood may not readily come to mind when we first think of Jesus’ life, yet the examples are many. Jesus sees a multitude and recognizes their need for a true shepherd. He teaches many things and has compassion for them as a loving mother would. (Mark 6:34)

He reveals our heavenly Father’s character through the prodigal son parable. A loving, seeking, longsuffering father rejoices that his wandering child has returned. (Luke 15:11)

And like a mother over-looking Jerusalem, Jesus lamented Israel’s refusal to shelter with Him, as a mother hen gathers her chicks under her wings. (Luke 13:34)

Many have a distorted view of our heavenly Father, thinking of Him as stern or vengeful, while they think of Jesus as kind and loving. Yet hear Jesus again telling us, like He did Phillip, "If you’ve seen Me, you’ve seen the Father.” They are alike in mind, character, and purpose.

Thank you for helping STR proclaim a clear, Biblical picture of our heavenly Father. Through your faithful prayers, encouragement, and financial gifts, God continues to sustain this ministry and bless every listener with the truth as it is in Jesus.

In blessing, you are also blessed, both in this life and the life to come. May you more clearly see the blessings of your heavenly Father, Who also resonates with the thoughts, feelings, and expressions of a faithful mother.

Kam Ferguson

Development Director
