Rediscovering Church Podcast

There seems to be a perception, generally speaking, that when it comes to science the tendency of Christians is to ignore and deem science incongruent with Christianity. But is it? Does true science destroy faith, or can it, being rightly understood, strengthen faith? We discuss that today on this episode of Crossroads & Culture.

On this podcast episode my guest, Justin Young, and I discuss the importance of dads and the need for them to be intentional in the lives of their children. In a culture where the definition of what it means to be a man is distorted, God's word is clear on his design and purpose of a man and his role in the life of his family.  FOR MORE RESOURCES CHECK OUT THESE LINKS: ⁠⁠⁠⁠cprivervalley.org⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/churchproject_rivervalley⁠⁠⁠ The Rediscovering Church podcast is a ministry of Church Project River Valley. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shawn-barnard9/support

In today's culture, critical thinking has crumbled under the weight of personal feelings where what a person feels has become the litmus test for determining what a person thinks, believes, and decisions that are made. Today on the Rediscovering Church podcast, we are discussing what does it mean, and why is it important, to think critically? And how does the Bible help you think critically?

God sent Jesus into this world, through a line of broken and unlikely people, to save and reconcile us with an unconditional love that engages and embraces the unlovely and unlikely. All of us have been broken by sin, and it's only Christ who can save us from being a lost cause.

How do you respond when God redirects your life? In that moment, what may seem like an inconvenience is really an invitation from God to join Him where He is at work. Although it may feel frustrating, seem confusing, be painful, and not seem to make sense, we can trust that God is writing a much bigger and better story than we could ever write.

Today on the Rediscovering Church podcast, we're going to answer the questions of why the early church was devoted to prayer, and why we should be devoted to prayer as well. If there is anything that the early church needed, it was to spend time with God so that they might hear clearly from Him, by His Spirit, and know His will in how to live in right relationship with Him and one another. It is no different for us today as followers of Christ. For notifications for new episodes, please FOLLOW the Rediscovering Church podcast, and rate/review our show.

In Acts 2, we read about the practices to which the early church were devoted: the teaching of Scripture, the fellowship, the breaking of bread, and the prayers. On this episode of the Rediscovering Church podcast, we look at why the breaking of bread was a practice of the early church and why it is necessary and significant for the Church today as followers of Christ.

We aren't meant to do life alone. Each of us has been created for relationship with God, first and foremost, and one another. In this episode of the Rediscovering Church podcast we are going to look at the early church's commitment to the fellowship among the believers, and how their devotion to biblical community made much of the gospel, encouraged one another, and influenced the culture in which they lived. It's something we need to hear today, as the Church, for the sake of the gospel. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/shawn-barnard9/support

In Psalm 119, David writes, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” God's word sheds light on where to step and how to navigate this life we live. And we desperately need that because the path we walk in this world is more often littered with landmines than it is lollipops. Our path in this life leads us through the valleys of the shadow of death, but God shepherds us by His word and the abiding presence of His Spirit. And as we follow His ways and delight in His word, He provides for our real needs, not just felt needs; He leads us beside the quiet waters of His word when the world feels like a raging sea; He makes us lie down in the green pastures of His word to rest even when we walk through desert moments; He restores our weary and wounded soul with the healing salve of His word; He reminds us of His nearness with the rod and staff of His word so that we don't have to fear any evil; He prepares a table before us in the presence of our enemies where we feast on the goodness of His word and the sustenance He gives. And that's why we should be devoted to the Scriptures.

In the scriptures, specifically the Psalms, there are a lot of questions that are asked regarding how to live life in a way that is right and God-honoring in the midst of a confusing and chaotic culture. On today's episode of the Rediscovering Church podcast, I discuss how we can avoid drifting from the truth and embracing the often distorted and destructive worldviews of modern culture.

If you build a house that looks nothing like the blueprint design, there's a problem. God's word, specifically in the book of Acts, gives us the blueprint and timeless principles that are to be the essence of His Church. In this episode of Crossroads & Culture, I have a conversation with David Edwards, Discipleship Pastor at Church Project, about the modern church and what getting back to God's design for His Church looks like.
