  1. The Ten Dollars Kept Moving

    Tommy Lewis thanks God at a filling station for whiskey rather than condemning it, and jokes that he has arrived at the level of Balaam’s donkey. He follows a ten dollar bill from hand to hand across a priest, some nuns and a Baptist deacon. Recorded at the New York Stony Point CFO in 1985.

  2. The Everest of the Spirit

    Bert Kerley calls union with God the Everest of the human spirit, glimpsed in a docker who could only call a choir “blankety blankety lovely” and in an atheist scientist standing under Canadian stars. He warns that the air near the summit is thin. Given at the 1985 New York Stony Point CFO.

  3. The House With the Hidden Cracks

    A shaking young man who said his mother was a witch, and a neighbor’s house underpinned against cracks nobody could see, are how Bert Kerley makes his case at the New York Stony Point CFO in 1985. Everyone’s foundations were weakened before birth, he says, and knowing it should produce mercy rather than judgment.

  4. Smiling Strangers In the Airport

    Tommy Lewis says the kingdom is already fully available as inward satisfaction. To the New York Stony Point CFO in 1985, he describes deliberately looking at strangers in a Columbus airport with love until their faces changed, with Jesus asleep at the calm center of the storm.

  5. What God Would Dearly Love to Manifest on Earth

    Bert Kerley reads Matthew 6 on seeking the kingdom first, and offers his own written definition of it: what is in the mind of God and what he would dearly love to manifest on earth. He offers a garden path paid for by three unprompted strangers in a single morning. Recorded at the 1985 New York Stony Point CFO.

  6. Would You Forgive Me For England?

    At the 1985 New York Stony Point CFO, Tommy Lewis apologizes to a stranger for a prejudice he had carried for years, watches Job’s three named fears all come true, and describes a robin with no worms. Confession and Christ formed within are what heal, he argues, rather than guilt or law.

  7. Born In a Veil

    Told he was born in a veil, and unwilling to concede any graveyard is pretty enough to move into, Tommy Lewis teaches the New York Stony Point CFO in 1985 to live identified with the risen Jesus rather than the grave. He tells of a Raleigh mother whose hatred of her unborn son turned to love in a moment.

  8. God's Timing

    A Russian priest’s joke about luck twice and then habit, a moped ruined by oil poured in before petrol, and a prayer of relinquishment at a friend’s deathbed carry Bert Kerley’s case. Small delays and chance meetings, he argues at the 1985 New York Stony Point CFO, are precisely arranged.

  9. The Be-Attitudes

    Bert Kerley reframes each Beatitude as an incentive rather than a burden, reachable only in relationship with God as Father, and reaches back to boyhood custard and bananas on Sundays and to Kagawa’s testimony of wrinkles on his brow. The closing message of the week at the New York Stony Point CFO in 1985.

  10. The Fisherman Who Shoved Me

    Whatever holds your attention holds you, Tommy Lewis tells the New York Stony Point CFO in 1985. He pictures Jesus waiting at every seat asking to be taken rather than his gifts, and adds a large parishioner who shoved him and an Englishman who solemnly forgave him for the whole of England.
