Taking Interest in Ministry
The Tim Talks podcast is an excellent listen for those seeking bite-sized chunks of wisdom and spiritual counsel. With episodes that are around 20 minutes long, it's easy to fit into a busy schedule. The hosts, Dr. Al and Pastor Wolvin, are not only knowledgeable but also genuine in their faith and love for the Lord. They bring relevant topics and discussions on ministry and life, making each episode enjoyable and thought-provoking.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the wisdom and advice shared by experienced men of God. Dr. Al and Pastor Wolvin bring years of experience in ministry, providing valuable insights for listeners. Their guests also contribute to the discussions, offering different perspectives on various topics. The humor injected throughout the episodes adds an enjoyable element to the podcast as well.
However, one potential drawback is that some may find the podcast's content to be aimed primarily at those involved in ministry or Christian leadership roles. While there is still valuable content for anyone seeking spiritual insight, those who do not fall into these categories may not find all episodes applicable to their lives.
In conclusion, The Tim Talks podcast is a great resource for Christians looking for bite-sized doses of wisdom and spiritual counsel. With knowledgeable hosts, great guests, relevant topics, and touches of humor, each episode provides valuable insights for listeners. While some episodes may be more niche-oriented towards ministry-related topics, there is still plenty for everyone to take away from this podcast.
Is a common fear of technology valid for believers? If we embrace it, are we hastening the entrance of the antichrist? Should we use it? All of it? Always?
Al and Dan finish the week speaking about money: our obligations, its benefits, its deceit, and the heart issues of all those who possess it.
Today's discussion is over money - not necessarily those without it, but concentrating on those WITH it. Far too many believers are placing their trust in uncertain riches rather than the certainty of the truths of God.
Today's topic is MONEY, MONEY, MONEY. How covetousness is listed as idolatry and why believers should not put their trust in wealth.
When ever confronted by those who may criticize there is always the possibility that, we (cough cough) may, possibly, but not probably, long pause, that maybe WE (meaning YOU) are wrong.
These guys are CRAZY today. Dan is in rare form as they tackle trying to deal with the downers that we sometimes have to face.

Sometimes people leave the things of the Lord. They fall off the rails so to speak. Sometimes they return and sometimes they do not. This week the guys look at who, why, when and what might cause it.
There are other times that people may feel the need to leave their pastoral leadership. Again, not easy but sometimes it's just better. Al and Dan address this and similar thoughts today.
People sometimes are afraid to approach a pastor with a question, concern or complaint. What do you do when it's a serious matter and you really need to deal with it. The guys discuss that today on this episode.
How does a church dismiss a pastor that may be detrimental to the church. Perhaps a pastor that preaches false doctrine or leads the church in a path contradicting the Bible. Well let our hosts tell you.
Pastor Wolvin and Dr. Stone take one more stab at trying to help us understand what the Bible has to say about divorce and remarriage. You might be surprised at what that final word might be.

Are you wondering how to get people to know Christ and come to church in a greater capacity than you are right now … join the club. Al and Dan take this week to discuss some of the issue and hopefully solutions to that very issue this week.

Al & Dan have a great question asked again today, " What if a church changes or if a church no longer meets the need, what should one do and where should they go?” Listen in as our co-hosts try to give some Biblical wisdom.
The guys have discussed the church looking for and at a pastoral candidate, but the question is asked what should a candidate be looking for and at in considering a church & it's pastoral leadership.

You have witnessed once and seemingly “struck out”. The question is, “When and how do you present the Gospel again after the person does not get saved at first?"
