Soul to Soul

You've all heard the terms "pastor," "bishop," "elder," and maybe even "shepherd" describing the leaders of the Lord's church. Who are these men? What do they do? Most importantly, what does the Bible have to say about this role? Join Richard, Jared, and Clint with our special guests DAVE RICH and LARRY JOHNSON, who serve as shepherds in the Linder Road church of Christ in Meridan, Idaho. This episode is a bit longer than usual, but we're going to take a short hiatus...so this one can tie you over!

Across the religious landscape, various "titles" are used to refer to leadership. In this episode, Richard, Jared, and Clint talk about what it means to be a minister. Is it the same as a preacher?

Is it saying, "I'm sorry"? Is it regretting getting caught? Richard, Clint, and Jared spend this episode talking about the realities of waking up to our need for repentance.  It's a challenge for us to face when we blow it, but we have some great assurances from God!

"You can't judge me!!" "You Christians are so judgmental!" We've all heard that, haven't we? In this episode, Jared, Richard, and Clint take a closer look at Jesus' words: "Judge not, lest you be judged yourselves" (Matthew 7:1). This is a challenging and often misused and misapplied passage. What does Jesus mean here? How do we judge properly and with, as Jesus says, "righteous judgment"?

Have an "attitude of gratitude!" We've all heard the (kind of annoying) cliche, right? In today's episode Jared, Richard, and Clint take a closer look at gratitude. This is a topic we sometimes over-simplify. The guys share what living a life of gratitude means for them personally.“There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn, as in doing it.” Seneca “...and even though we all can still do more, there's so much to be thankful for.” Josh Groban “…give thanks in everything; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Paul, (1 Thess 5:18)Questions or comments for us?

Yes - Christians disagree - with each other and with those who aren't Christians! What do we do when we disagree with non-Christians? In this episode, Jared, Richard, and Clint follow up on last week's discussion about Christians disagreeing with each other. How can we NOT be seen simply as "anti-everything?!" Do we compromise? How can we make sure we stand for truth, but do it so as to point people to Jesus?"In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven" (Matt 5:16 - CSB). #MissionMattersMoreThank you SO much for listening!
