The LingerLonger
Café Podcast
By Don and Lyn Bennett
As our friend, Bob, says in the introduction to each
conversation, Welcome to the LingerLonger podcast!
Whether you found us in your own searching or someone recommended
us, we are grateful that you have stopped by our "cafe" to listen in
as I try to stop talking long enough for Don to answer the questions I ask
about things that are on my mind.
A long time ago, while I was telling a friend something that
had happened to me, he asked a question that could likely be described as the
theme of my life, "Is there a point to this story?" We do hope that
my ramblings and Don's knowledge take you on a journey you will enjoy or that
will at least get you thinking and encourage your faith.
The idea for the podcast started over coffee one morning
(thus the groggy voices and the references to the cafe.) As we were wrapping up
talking, so we could get on with our day, I realized that what we had shared
(well, what Don shared) was something that I thought others might find
interesting, and perhaps even helpful, to consider. We both like listening to
sermons and documentaries and other broadcasts that offer thoughtful
perspectives about life and faith (and, for Don, anything to do with history)
so we prayerfully decided to add our voices to the mix.
You can find more content at our website lingerlonger.cafe (yes, DOTcafe) but for now, we'd love for you to pull up a chair and join us.....

At some point, the malevolent entity known as
Satan fell. When did this fall happen - during the ages
past before the creation of man or in Genesis 3 when Adam and Eve made their
choice in Eden? |

Lyn shares the joy of how her group of devotion
books has become like a group of good friends as God speaks to her through
their words and His. Don does get to talk a little
bit (between interruptions) about reading through the Bible and about Church
of the Highlands 21 Days of Prayer. List of Lyn’s “Small Group” devotion books: Prevail by Susie Larson You Can Count on God by Max Lucado Power Thoughts Devotional by Joyce Meyer Jesus Calling by Sarah Young Jesus Always by Sarah Young |

This discussion of being led and carried by God
weaves its way through several topics as reference is made to the 6am service
at Church of the Highlands during 21 Days of Prayer. Extras At times in this and other podcasts Don &
Lyn's children are mentioned so now seems a good time to introduce them (two
sons and a daughter each): Lyn's three: Carrie and twin sons Alex and Davis.
Don's three: Graham, Ria, and Barrett. All are
married with children (which makes Lyn's children happy because it lets them
off the hook for a while for grandchildren.) Richard, who is also mentioned in the main LingerLonger description and in this podcast, is the
young man Lyn dated in the fall of her senior year in high school. He sadly
died in a plane crash in January of her senior year. |

We often hear about companies, countries, and
even people being too big to fail or to be brought down due to their poor
decisions or corruption, but there are no absolute protections for any
entity. However, even when times are bad, God is still trying to direct our
paths. Let this brief discussion of Ezekiel 12 and 13 entice you to open your
Bible and read more about Israel's fall from power. |

Don and Lyn look to Acts 12 as they continue
their conversation about prayer and how God's ways are often not our ways.
Our lives are like the back of a tapestry with knots and tangled strings. If
we could see the master work God is creating on the front side, it would be
so surprising and likely encouraging. Extras: Since the podcast crew (Don and Lyn) can't edit
individual words or go back and insert explanations about people or things
that are mentioned, they will be covered in this space called Extras. When
Don uses the word "chalis" he means
callous and the "Pray First" bands that are mentioned are from
Church of the Highlands and are a very good reminder of Who to go to first
with our problems and praise. |

As believers, at times we have the common joyful
experience of having prayers answered but also the confusing times of prayers
not being answered as we expected. Listen in now to the early morning
scratchy voices of Don and Lyn as they talk about prayer and how God wants to
build a relationship with us as we share our needs and questions with Him. Don mentions the name Heiser and is referring to
Dr. Michael Heiser who was the lead Bible scholar at Awakening School of
Theology & Ministry (where Don got his second theology degree). Though Dr
Heiser has passed on to eternity, you can still benefit and learn from him at

Join Don and Lyn (and the cicadas) on their porch
as they discuss the 10/40 Window. It is the rectangular area of North Africa,
the Middle East, and Asia approximately between 10 degrees north and 40
degrees north latitude. In this part of the Earth is where Christianity had
her start. It is now where Christianity has her biggest struggles and,
curiously, her largest growth. Many times during these
early podcasts, people and places are mentioned but not explained. Hopefully
that will get better over time. "Highlands" is Church of the Highlands which is a multi-campus church based in
Birmingham, AL. You will find many great sermons and resources at
churchofthehighlands.com. |
