The Voice: Our ETJ Host and A Brand New Podcast Announcement!, Greg Dowdy

Pastor Greg Dowdy

With some regularity, I am asked about the host on each of our Enjoying the Journey broadcasts. The “voice” that you hear in the intros and outros is my dear friend, Greg Dowdy. Greg and Becky were in school with us at Crown College and, for many years, he worked alongside my dad as an assistant pastor. They have been like family to our family for a quarter of a century.

Greg now pastors a vibrant church, Harvest Baptist of Owensboro, KY, where he and his family are being greatly used by the Lord. From the very beginning, he has had a great interest in the work that God has given us and has been a chief encourager. The Apostle Paul’s long list of “fellow laborers” is a wonderful example that sometimes the closest co-laborers are those who are distant geographically. We are bound together in Christ, a common burden for souls, and the truth of the Word.

When we began the daily program I wanted to find someone who not only had the voice to help communicate clearly with our audience, but the heart to labor with us. Greg has graciously been willing to serve in any way necessary. In addition to his busy schedule, Greg is always willing to record and collaborate with our team. I am truly grateful.

We are also thrilled to announce the launch of another ETJ podcast. Coming this summer, Greg will be sharing unique stories from great Christians in history, the stories behind well-loved songs and hymns, and much more. This brand new podcast, Traveler’s Tales, will air weekly. We trust it will provide a few moments of inspiration and instruction for your journey. Watch for more details in the days ahead and join Greg each Thursday starting in June. (Join our mailing list HERE.)

Every person’s voice is unique, and every voice was made to be used by God. Our voices are simply instruments for communicating and the greatest thing we ever share is God’s Word. John the Baptist said it best when he identified himself merely as a “voice.” Christ is the Word, and all of us should use our voice to point others to Him. Pray for us as we seek to further the Word and may God use you to speak to someone for Christ today.

Now, I am no engineer! But the principle applies to us all: The easiest thing in the world is to have a complicated life. The hardest thing in the world is to have a simple life. You have to work hard to keep it simple.

You Have to Work Hard to Keep it Simple

The idea of building a monument was not that of Joshua, but of God. God instructed Joshua to have twelve men remove a stone from a prescribed place, place it on their shoulders and bear it up out of Jordan. It was to be taken to their place of lodging. What purpose could possibly be served in carrying twelve large river rocks approximately six or seven miles to Gilgal? God said to! In Joshua, we find that God is a monument builder. 

The Monument Builder

In the Second Boer War in South Africa, 13,000 British troops were trapped for 118 days in what is now known as the Siege of Ladysmith. Food diminished, and disease grew. Worst of all, discouragement set in. A civilian was arrested, tried, and sentenced to a year in jail for being a discourager! This man was not a traitor, but he walked around town and spoke discouraging things to men who were on guard against the enemy. The deepest wound you can inflict is to wound a person’s spirit (Proverbs 18:14). Image of the relief of the siege

The Power of Encouragement and the Peril of Discouragement 

In 2 Kings 5, we read a tale of three servants: Naaman, the Little Maid, and Gehazi. No matter your past, you can find healing like Naaman. Regardless of your circumstances, like the maid, God can bless and use you for eternity. Even if you have experienced great victory, you can fall into sin, just like Gehazi.
