Beers & Bible Podcast

Called to Pastor – A Deep Dive into Titus 1In this episode of the podcast, we explore Titus 1 and examine what it means to be called to pastor in today's world. Just like Paul's letters to Timothy, this powerful chapter in Titus offers foundational truth for pastors, church leaders, and believers seeking to live lives rooted in godliness and gospel-driven purpose.Join us as we break down three major themes from Titus 1:Saved to Serve (Titus 1:1–4) – Discover how salvation leads to gospel service, godly living, and spiritual security. We are slaves of God, sent to proclaim Christ, secure in our hope, and united in the common faith.Qualified to Lead (Titus 1:5–9) – Learn the biblical qualifications for church leadership. From family faithfulness to godly character and a deep devotion to sound doctrine, this passage sets the standard for what faithful shepherding looks like.Called to Confront (Titus 1:10–16) – Paul challenges pastors to protect the flock by boldly confronting false teaching, spiritual deception, and religious hypocrisy. True leaders must rebuke lies with truth and live lives that reflect gospel integrity.Whether you're a pastor, ministry leader, or a disciple of Christ, this episode will encourage and equip you to walk in your calling with clarity, boldness, and grace.

In today's episode, we explore Paul's exhortation to Timothy to keep the faith in the midst of growing opposition and false teaching. Paul provides a two-fold encouragement: remember the past and remain rooted in the Word of God. Through this passage, we are reminded that faithful Christian living involves following godly examples and standing firm on the unshakable foundation of Scripture. This episode is a challenge to all believers to live lives of conviction, endurance, and biblical fidelity.Main Points Covered:

In this episode, we explore Paul's warning about the dangers of ungodly examples in the last days. Building on last week's focus on Christ as our sufficient example, we now turn to the opposite: those who speak falsely, live hypocritically, and corrupt others.Main Themes:

In this episode, we build on last week's discussion of the gospel-centered teacher by expanding our focus to the larger church community. Paul's words in 2 Timothy 2:20–26 show us what it means to be a clean vessel and a faithful servant within God's household. This message isn't just for teachers—it's for everyone in the church.Key Topics:The Clean Vessel (vv. 20–22)The church contains both honorable and dishonorable vessels—faithful and unfaithful servants.Honorable vessels are cleansed, set apart, and useful for every good work.We're called to flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, embodying holiness in both doctrine and character.The Lord's Servant (vv. 23–26)God's servants avoid foolish controversies and refuse to be quarrelsome.They must be kind, patient, and correct opponents with gentleness.The aim is not to win arguments, but to win souls—praying that God grants repentance and freedom from the enemy's snare.Who Is Sufficient?The call to be a holy vessel and gentle servant is weighty, but we're not left to ourselves.Jesus is our model and our means—He is the perfect workman, vessel, and servant.Through Him, we are made sufficient for every good work.Quote of the Week:“It is not great talents God blesses so much as likeness to Jesus.” – Robert Murray M'CheyneJoin us as we reflect on what it means to be vessels of honor, ready for the Master's use, and committed to gentle, gospel-centered correction in a world filled with strife.

In this episode of [Podcast Name], we explore how to be a Gospel-centered teacher who faithfully handles God's Word, based on 2 Timothy 2:14–19. Building on Paul's powerful imagery of the soldier, athlete, and farmer, we focus today on the next crucial metaphor: the Unashamed Workman.Paul reminds Timothy—and every Christian teacher—that ministry is not about speculation or worldly trends, but about faithfully transmitting the truths of the Gospel through diligent and accurate teaching. Repetition and faithfulness are key (see 2 Peter 1:12–15).
