That's (Church) Life! Part 1

Today, we’re embarking on a three part series on “doing church,” so to speak. It’s not so much about theology, it’s more about church culture. For those who weren’t raised in church and became Christians as adults, walking into church for the first time can be unfamiliar and daunting. But even if you were raised in church, or you're moving your membership to a new church, there are still things about “doing church” that we can learn or improve on. In this episode, we cover:

• How to find a solid church
• Welcoming visitors to church
• Making friends at church
• Training your children to behave in church

Survey Says: Wild and Wacky Worship and Worldviews!

Today we’re going to be looking at a recently released study that sheds some light on the wild and wacky ways people worship and the worldview they hold - especially professing Christians. How would you have answered the questions in this survey, and how should we, as doctrinally sound Christians, respond in light of the results of this survey?

The Rise and Fall of The International House of Prayer (IHOP)

Today we are taking on a tough topic that has been in the news for the past year and recently came to a very sad conclusion - sexual abuse at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City (IHOP-KC) - and the devastating results are worse than anyone could have thought. We'll give you some background on IHOP-KC, its leadership, and its doctrine. We also want to talk about this from a believer’s perspective. How should Christians react to this news, and what can we learn?

Servanthood

Why do we often look up to Christian celebrities instead of anonymous servants? And why, when we think about finding a place of service in the local church, do we usually gravitate toward positions that will put us in the spotlight and give us recognition, rather than gravitating toward anonymous, thankless jobs? Today we're looking at the meaning of servanthood, our manner of servanthood, and our mindset and motives regarding servanthood.

Navigating Away from Theological Liberalism's Sinking Ship

Cessationism with David Lovi

Cessationism has to do with whether all of the spiritual gifts given by God to Believers that we read about in the New Testament are for Christians today. It is a controversial topic for a lot of people. Many of you may be familiar with the 2023 documentary film, Cessationist, and today we’re excited to welcome our brother who wrote and narrated Cessationist, David Lovi.
