The Joy Ride #155

Welcome, fellow adventurers, to the Masculine Journey Joyride Podcast. This is a brand-new show from the guys you know.

I'm talking, of course, about the Band of Brothers. My name is Keith, and I'm the producer for Masculine Journey and Masculine Journey After Hours. In this podcast, you will hear funny stories, exchanges, and thought-provoking moments that will amuse you, make you smile, and draw you closer to Jesus Christ in your journey of life. Oh, let me tell you a story about a group of men.

You don't need enemies when they're your friends. You can hear them every week on your radio. I wrote a little song about a man, here it goes, a tune that is, I'm off key, but who cares? They meet every week in the studio to talk about life and the things they know, that Jesus is the truth and the life you see, so without him, there is no victory. Christ, that is, Son of God, our Lord and Savior. The Masculine Journey.

Welcome back to Masculine Journey, and that is Blessed Assurance. If you didn't grow up in a church, you might not have heard that song before, but I promise you, if you grew up in a church during the 70s, anyway, you definitely have heard that song at some point because I know it was played a lot, but when we were talking about this topic of story, this is a song that just kept coming to me because it was beat into my head in the 70s as a teenager listening to it in church, you know, that it was one of them we sang pretty frequently. And back then, we called them hymns, not songs.

We did, yeah. Well, it called itself a song, by the way, Jim. It doesn't say, this is my story, this is my hymn. Yeah, exactly. So thank you, Robby.

It would have if it hadn't been a new group singing it. No, you're right, though. Oh, I'm sorry.

It's not from the 1800s, Jim. We're okay. Go ahead, Robby. What's your name? Crosby? Stills, Nash, and later Young.

No, no, no. I can't think of the girls. The lady's name wrote that song.

She was blind. Fanny. Fanny Crosby, yeah.

How could you not think of that? They wrote that song? Pardon me? They wrote that song? Yeah, Fanny the Crosby still is. Fanny Crosby, yeah.

Oh, did not know that. That's my grandmother's name, Fanny. Oh, okay. Fanny Bacon. I can't help it. It was just her name. All right, go ahead.

Seems like it'd be Ham. It's part of my story. So from the guys on Mastering the Journey, I'm Keith, and we'll see you down the road. This is the Truth Network.
