It's been more than 20 years since the sad news that La Crosse's old G. Heileman Brewing Co. would go bankrupt and Old Style beer would go away. The label was eventually bought by Pabst and brewed in Milwaukee, but now Pabst is bringing Old Style back home—and the brewery's iconic “6-Pack” of storage tanks […]Guests: Chad Holmes, Hans Breitenmoser, Adam Powers, Kirsten Slaughter

CRAFT BEER PODCAST INFO: AS A NOTE: The beginning of the show Ken's microphone was muted so it does feel a little out of order. We did our best to keep the dead air down but keep the conversation going! Adam Powers has had his mark on the industry for a long time now. Whether it's been finding bands, performing in one, managing the Captain Pabst taproom, and selling all of the heritage brands in the Pabst portfolio, he's done it all. Adam sat down with us to chat about his time in the industries including what he feels Pabst next few moves are, we discuss the distribution strategy of brands like Old Style and Natty Boh, he gives us a history of Stroh's including its recent brewing at Brew Detroit and more recent entrance back into the community, and we talk about the 1844 beer pack that Pabst had for sale.

"I'm a man, trapped in a woman's body" has, in the past decade, become a statement of not only individual preference but of widespread scientific (in some circles) and social acceptance, the denial of which is now labeled by many as bigoted "hate speech." The transgender movement is dominating many spheres from politics, to women's sports, to family dynamics, and beyond. With this issue rapidly building, the question we are faced with is: what does the Bible actually say about gender? This week, Dashawn, Aaron, and guest-host Adam Powers discuss: [03:21] - What are some terms to define and understand in order to discuss this topic? [06:17] - Why is this such an important conversation for Christians to be prepared for? [17:42] - How is "love" not the answer, but also in many ways THE answer when approaching this issue? [27:03] - What does the Bible actually have to say about gender? [38:58] - How should Christians address a friend, child, or fellow Christian who claims to be trangendered?

Across the centuries the popularity of Christianity has fluctuated, but it is only in modern times that the reputation of Christianity has so widely fallen under censure and hate. With the kingdom of God rolling forward on the proclamation of the Gospel, yet with the Gospel message increasingly becoming white noise, the critical question before us stands: why do so many people hate Christians? This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-host Adam Powers discuss: [02:29] - What is the definition of “hate” that we are using? [07:42] - What are some legitimate and illegitimate reasons for people hating Christ-followers? [19:39] - The hypocrisy issue. [23:20] - Should Christians push their beliefs on other people? [31:17] - Are Christians narrow-minded? [33:36] - What should Christians not do in striving to address this problem? [38:39] - What should Christians do in response to this issue?

For centuries the Bible has come under almost constant assault. Scripture has been called antiquated, outdated, contradictory, irrelevant, harmful, and the accusations roll ever onward. Even within the realm of Christianity the infallibility and the authority of the Bible has been questioned or ridiculed. And all of this leads us to the ever-pressing and critically important question: can we really trust the Bible? This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-host Adam Powers discuss: [05:06] - What is most important about the veracity of the Bible and how is it proven? [15:21] - What are some external evidences and support for the veracity of the Bible? [37:07] - The Bible is a book of prophecy.

Franklin D. Roosevelt famously stated: "War is young men dying and old men talking." But today, with the meteoric rise of social media it seems that people are constantly talking about war, specifically the war that is currently raging in Ukraine. All of this drives us to a very pressing question: how should Christians think about, react to, and talk about war?  This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-host Adam Powers discuss: [01:52] - What is the historic position of Christianity concerning war?  [05:10] - What is a Christian alternative to pacifism? [08:45] - What does the Bible have to say about war? [13:21] - Specifically, how should we respond to the war in Ukraine? [18:08] - How are the wars in the Bible different than our wars? [24:25] - Would it be wrong for America to intervene in Ukraine?

For many Christians, particularly in the southern United States, the death penalty for certain truly heinous criminal acts is a no-brainer; the thought being “what reasonable person wouldn't support the sanction of erasing murderers, rapists, child molesters, etc.”? But against this position there is a torrent of objections declaring that true Christians love forgiveness and should seek to restore. While the tumult rages on, the question remains: should Christians support or oppose capital punishment? This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Adam Powers and Dashawn Cousins discuss: [03:29] - Where do you stand on the death penalty? [09:14] - Does your view on God's sovereignty affect your view of the death penalty? [16:31] - Does the method of execution matter? [24:48] - Should the death penalty only be used in response to the taking of a life? [31:40] - Is the death penalty really a biblical issue?

For close to two centuries, altar calls have been a mainstay across many branches of Christianity. Many people can trace the origins of their faith back to a moment when they heard the call to come forward and pray the sinner's prayer. But are alter calls a good thing? Are there reasons we should use them or refrain from them? This week, Dashawn, Aaron, and guest-host Adam Powers discuss: [03:57] - What is the history of "the Altar Call in the Christian Church?" [16:24] - Does the fact that people legitimately came to faith during an altar call legitimize it? [18:38] - What do people need to know to be saved? [20:17] - Can altar calls have a redeeming value? [27:37] - How can someone know if their faith is legitimate? [36:18] - What is some advice for someone with this background or experience?

Throughout the confusion and chaos of much modern Christianity, the dreaded "h" word (heretic) is tossed about with reckless derision toward anyone opposing certain stated "truths." Seemingly, more than ever, the divisions between Christ-followers are widening, and believers are choosing many hills or, by contrast, almost zero hills to "die on." As we survey the Christian landscape, taking in the division while submitting to the truth, the question that stares each of us in the face is: what is absolutely foundational to true Christianity? Or stated otherwise: what hills should Christians be willing to die defending? This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Dashawn Cousins and Adam Powers discuss: [05:13] - Why is a discussion on this subject so important?

It is undeniable that in the early Christian church that the gift of tongues was operational and effectual. But since the first century, evidence surrounding the use of tongues is scant, and particularly in recent centuries, there has been a lot of confusion surrounding the use, necessary presence, or continuation of speaking in tongues. So today Christians are left with the extremely pressing and somewhat unsettling question: Should I as a Christian be speaking in tongues?  This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-host Adam Powers discuss: [03:21] - What is speaking in tongues? [07:05] - Were there different forms of tongues in the New Testament? [14:06] - Does there have to be a purpose to speaking in tongues? [16:26] - Do you believe this gift is still operational today? [30:52] - What's the difference between miracles and speaking in tongues?  [34:45] - What about people saying “God told me…”?  [45:41] - How would you counsel a Christian friend concerning the use of tongues?  Guest Hosts Adam Powers Links Watch Out of Oz on YouTube  SonRise Community Church Subscribe Out of Oz Podcast Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Stay in touch BLDG 28 Church BLDG 28 on Facebook BLDG 28 on Instagram BLDG 28 on YouTube

An often controversial and almost always unsettling topic is this Biblical concept of hell. Throughout the centuries of Christendom, the doctrine of hell has been maligned, ridiculed, utilized to accomplish fear-driven evangelism, misunderstood, and even denied. But as believers who take seriously the Scriptures, the sincere question that we must answer is: "What is hell?" This week, Dashawn, Aaron, and guest-host Adam Powers discuss: [07:30] - Why is there so much consternation and division around this specific doctrine? [13:02] - Are all the horrors related to hell as described in Scripture literal or allegorical? [16:24] - How do the Scriptures describe hell? [22:59] - Is hell justifiable? [28:06] - Why is hell eternal? [31:08] - Does God send people to hell, or do they choose to go there? [40:55] - Is there danger in saying you believe in hell, but don't like it? [47:14] - How can we, as Bible proclaiming Christians, misuse the doctrine of hell? [53:35] - What is the comfort, if any, in this doctrine?

While Scripture is abundantly clear—though there remain humanistic and traditional naysayers—that unconditional election is true, uncertainty still swirls for many around the matter of “double predestination”. Does God actively ordain unrepentant sinners for damnation, or is he more indirect with reprobation? To state it more plainly, does the Lord predestine sinners for damnation in the same way that he predestines Christians for salvation? This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-host Adam Powers discuss: [03:14] - Why does this topic matter? [07:29] - What does it mean to say that God “wills” something to occur? [12:02] - What is double predestination? [19:02] - Does God actively damn sinners to destruction? [26:08] - Does God actively ordain sin to occur? [30:00] - Does God actively place the sin nature in humanity, or is it the consequence of the fall? [44:57] - What is the comfort, if any, in this doctrine?

Tragically, suicide has been on the rise for decades. Fallen souls in a broken world, coupled at times with mental illness, delivers to many a devastating hopelessness and a desire for escape. And the world of isolation created by the pandemic has only accelerated this problem. With self-harm and suicidal thoughts in abundance both around the church and inside the church, the question that must be carefully, biblically answered is this: can a true follower of Jesus commit suicide?  This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Adam Powers and Maggie Seibert discuss: [04:15] - Historically, what has been the church's position on this question? [08:29] - Why is suicide such a big issue today? [12:15] - What does the Bible say about suicide? Is it a sin? And can you still go to Heaven after committing that sin? [13:45] - Does the sin of suicide show a lack of faith in Christ? [17:58] - What about committing suicide in order to get to Heaven more quickly? [21:01] -  How should the church help those who are struggling with depression or mental illness leading to suicidal thoughts? [34:03] - What hope do we give to someone who has a friend or family member who has committed suicide? “Dawn will come one day, and everything that is sad will be made untrue. That doesn't dismiss that it is really dark right now, and that in this world we will have trouble. But Christ has overcome the world. And if we look to him, he promises that, in him, we can have peace, even though we have trouble in the world. And there is great hope in that.” ~ Adam Powers Guest Hosts Adam Powers Maggie Seibert Links Watch Out of Oz on YouTube  SonRise Community Church Second Vatican Council City of God - Augustine John Mark Comer C.S.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” ~ Thomas Jefferson, The Declaration of Independence These seemingly immortal words are clung to and embraced by most Americans and most Christians in America. Yet, what is life? Are we truly a free people? And is someone mandating an “untested” vaccine upon us or someone refusing to take a “safe” vaccine a Biblical issue? With the United States government essentially mandating a vaccine for federal employees and private businesses with more than 100 employees, how should Christians respond? These questions are stoking the fires of division within our culture and our churches. This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-host Adam Powers discuss: [04:12] - Is this a Biblical issue? [06:41] - What about religious exemptions? [11:02] - Is “conscience” a valid religious exemption? [13:50] - Should Christians submit to the government? [22:54] - How can Christians discern which things are worth fighting for (and which ones aren't)? [33:06] - What comfort is there for Christians struggling with these tough decisions? [38:59] - How should Christians respond to disagreement over this issue? “As Christians, we're are losing our voices because we're trying to equate personal opinion and preference with Biblical mandate.

One of the most-asked questions we get is about predestination. We believe that predestination is an undeniable Biblical doctrine. But we live in a culture that is constantly redefining words and issues, and this tendency has not escaped the church.  This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-host Adam Powers discuss what predestination is (and isn't), why it's biblical, and why it matters in the first place. “Theology matters. This is not just an ivory-tower debate. This matters. It shapes our worship. It shapes our behavior. It shapes how we view God. It shapes everything about us. What comes to mind when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” ~ Aaron Currin Guest Hosts Adam Powers Links Watch Out of Oz on YouTube  SonRise Community Church Calvinism Arminianism John Wesley The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination by Loraine Boettner Subscribe Out of Oz Podcast Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Stay in touch BLDG 28 Church BLDG 28 on Facebook BLDG 28 on Instagram BLDG 28 on YouTube

There are multiple reasons why parents would desire to keep their children with them during church services. But is this what is best for the church and the children? And most importantly, is this family-integrated worship biblical? This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Adam Powers, Tabi Griffith, and Renee Young discuss whether or not children should be in the worship gathering, what is biblical, and why it matters in the first place. “There needs to be serious consideration by parents and churches about when do we want to start integrating our children into the life of the church, so they don't feel separated from that.” ~ Aaron Currin  Guest Hosts Adam Powers Tabi Griffith Renee Young Links Watch Out of Oz on YouTube  SonRise Community Church Subscribe Out of Oz Podcast Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Stay in touch BLDG 28 Church BLDG 28 on Facebook BLDG 28 on Instagram BLDG 28 on YouTube

We live in a culture that does not value commitment, and is quick to justify almost any action with nothing more than the grounds of personal happiness.  We know the Bible states that God hates divorce. But there is ambiguity in the passages that describe under what conditions a divorce is permissible. Is it permitted at all? Is remarriage permitted? What about divorce in the case of ministry leaders?  This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Adam Powers and Lisa Preston discuss these questions, the various interpretations of Scripture, and how one would counsel a couple going through it.  “The whole point of Matthew 18 is restoration, not retribution. So often in our culture, it's easy to be vindictive instead of trying to restore.” ~ Aaron Currin  Guest Hosts Adam Powers Lisa Preston Links Watch Out of Oz on YouTube  Sonrise Community Church Watermark Community Church John Piper This Momentary Message by John Piper Subscribe Out of Oz Podcast Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Stay in touch BLDG 28 Church BLDG 28 on Facebook BLDG 28 on Instagram BLDG 28 on YouTube

Across Christianity, there are few things more hotly contested and vehemently debated than the role of women in pastoral ministry. Yet amidst all the debate and struggle the question sincere Christians must strive to answer is this: what does the Bible have to say on this issue? This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Adam Powers and Maggie Seibert discuss the issue of authority in the church, the differences between egalitarianism and complementarianism, what Scripture has to say about these issues, and how we should deal with divisive topics. “There seems to be a lot of diversity even in reformed circles on how much we permit. But I pretty much go as far as you can go Biblically because I believe that's where Scripture leads us in saying women should be empowered to do whatever they want to do, as long as it is within the framework of Scripture.” ~ Aaron Currin  Guest Hosts Adam Powers Maggie Seibert Links Watch Out of Oz on YouTube  Sonrise Community Church Egalitarianism Complementarianism The Normative Principle Kevin DeYoung Men and Women in the Church by Kevin DeYoung Rob Bell Subscribe Out of Oz Podcast Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Stay in touch BLDG 28 Church BLDG 28 on Facebook BLDG 28 on Instagram BLDG 28 on YouTube

Baptism has always stood as a sacred ordinance of the true church; but with very solid theologians on both sides of the debate, how are Christians to understand credobaptism vs paedobaptism? Is this an either/or issue, or a both/and issue? In other words, must Christians decide between one form of baptism or the other, or can they embrace both? This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Adam Powers and Rick Reumann discuss the differences between infant baptism and believer's baptism, where these traditions come from, and they play out in our lives and theology. “The protestant church has minimized the importance of the sacraments since the reformation. In a reaction to what the catholic church had made efficacious for salvation, the protestant church has kind of thrown the baby out with the baptismal pool." ~ Aaron Currin  Guest Hosts Adam Powers Rick Reumann Links Watch Out of Oz on YouTube  John Calvin Dispensationalism John Piper Kevin DeYoung John Bunyan Charles Spurgeon R.C.

With so many people suffering today from various degrees of anxiety, fear, or depression, the question of how Christians can cope or help others who struggle, is pressing. How big of an issue is anxiety in our culture and in our churches today? Is there something different about the world now that has led to an increase in these kinds of struggles? What are the root issues? And why are Christians, whose identity and hope is in Christ, not exempt from this struggle? This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Adam Powers and Maggie Seibert, discuss these questions and more. “We tend to do our Christian life as if God is generally disappointed with us. We live life as if we're not sons and daughters of the king, but kind of employees who haven't really done our job well and are under threat of being fired all the time. And yet we open the gospels and we see a friend in Jesus. And not just a friend, but a brother. And not just a friend and brother, but the king!” ~ Adam Powers Guest Hosts Adam Powers Maggie Seibert Links Watch Out of Oz on YouTube  The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer Simon Sinek Subscribe Out of Oz Podcast Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Stay in touch BLDG 28 Church BLDG 28 on Facebook BLDG 28 on Instagram BLDG 28 on YouTube

Since the birth of Protestantism in the 16th century there has been a stark divide between the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestant Church — but should this divide stand? Are Catholics essentially part of the same faith as protestants? And if not, why? What are the key differences between Catholics and Protestants? And where should believers draw the line in terms of fellowship and ministry? This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Dashawn Cousins and Adam Powers discuss the differences between Catholicism and Protestantism, the history of how these traditions developed, and whether we are called to link arms or separate in our pursuit of the truth.  “It doesn't really matter what any of us believe about the subject, it matters what Scripture says, and whether or not we align with Scripture. When we define Christianity, and even Catholicism as it's supposed to be understood, we allow Scripture to define that for us.” ~ Aaron Currin  Guest Hosts Adam Powers Dashawn Cousins Links Watch Out of Oz on YouTube  Martin Luther Augustine John Calvin G.K.

How should Christians judge fellow believers? How do we recognize real demonic influence? I have a friend who did not leave their church well. Do I have a responsibility as a sister in Christ to call out their foolishness/sin? What percentage of drinking Christians do you think might be regularly violating their conscience because of the amount of alcohol they consume in one sitting or the frequency of the drinking, and yet they don't exhibit drunkenness and may not actually be drunk at all? How can Christians be careful to avoid abusing alcohol? Why doesn't the church treat obesity as a bigger issue? Why does the southeast have a high obesity rate and at the same time have such a high church attendance rate? Not a question but a statement: If you have to wrestle with the question of whether to support your friends or family when they find love, then something's wrong with you, not them. In the COVID 19 Vaccine episode it seems that most are promoting the vaccine to love people well, but aren't wearing masks a way of loving people as well?

“Church hopping” is an almost entirely modern phenomenon. Until very recently, most towns had one church. Maybe two, if it was a really big town.  But with the advent of the automobile, and the growth of a transient and autonomous American Dream, people's ideas of what the church is and what it's for have changed. The church has become a consumer-oriented institution, feeding people's desires for self-actualization and entertainment. But it's not all bad news. Healthy, biblical, gospel-focused churches also continue to grow and multiply.  So, the question arises, should Christians ever leave their church? And, if so, what are some legitimate and illegitimate reasons to do so? This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Adam Powers and Renee Young dig into these questions and talk about if and why a committed Christian should ever leave their church.  “There's probably going to come a time when you leave a church. Whether you move away, you get married, come from college, or you have to leave because of negative reasons. And Galatians 5 (the fruit of the Spirit) should rule our lives in these situations. That should be true of the leadership in a church, as well as members.” ~ Aaron Currin  Guest Hosts Adam Powers Renee Young Links Watch Out of Oz on YouTube  SonRise Community Church C. S.

The discussion around homosexual marriage is nothing if not divisive in our day. And today we are tackling the topic of homosexual weddings — specifically, is it sinful for a Christian to attend a homosexual wedding?  Is it an issue of sin or a matter of conscience? It is possible to attend a celebration of something many Christians believe to be sinful in a way that displays love and grace to people without condoning or encouraging sin? This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Adam Powers and Nate Currin talk about attending homosexual weddings, how Christians are called to engage with the LGBTQ+ community, and, as always, what the Bible has to say about these topics. “In our day, love has come to mean affirmation. And that's not even a philosophical definition, let alone a biblical one. We can't affirm any pattern of sin, even the ‘acceptable' ones. And that's an important distinction to make. We can truly love someone without affirming behavior that is anti-biblical.” ~ Aaron Currin  Guest Hosts Adam Powers Nate Currin Links Watch Out of Oz on YouTube  SonRise Community Church The Deadly Se7en Sermon Series Romans 1 Is God anti-gay? by Sam Allberry Gay Girl, Good God: The Story of Who I Was, and Who God Has Always Been by Jackie Hill Perry The Gospel Coalition Rosaria Butterfield The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution by Carl Trueman Subscribe Out of Oz Podcast Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Stay in touch BLDG 28 Church BLDG 28 on Facebook BLDG 28 on Instagram BLDG 28 on YouTube

Should you be a member of a local church? It's a hot-button topic depending on who you ask.  It's important to understand the difference between the universal church and the local church. Every true Christian is part of the universal church, but not necessarily part of a local church body — though we believe that every true Christian should be part of a local church. This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Adam Powers and Dani Van talk about church membership, what it means, why it's important, and why some people believe it's possible to love Jesus, but not the church. “In the simplest terms, being part of a local church means being part of a family. Just like when I look at my family, and there are authority structures, responsibilities, benefits, etc. — that's what it means to be a member of a local church.” ~ Aaron Currin  Guest Hosts Adam Powers Dani Van Nortwick Links Watch Out of Oz on YouTube  SonRise Community Church John Piper C.

With more than 500 million books sold, the Harry Potter series is far and away the highest-selling series of books in history. Though Rowling claims to be a Christian, and has said that her books are meant to expose the same truths as classic fantasies such as The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia, many Christians have objected to the stories for their perceived promotion of witchcraft. And this raises questions about the nature of fantasy, and entertainment in general. Is there a difference between the witchcraft condemned in the Bible and what is depicted in these stories? And, if so, what? This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest-hosts Adam Powers and Jeffrey Singer talk about the world of fantasy literature and entertainment in general, and how Christians should think about and approach these topics. “If we're going to use the word witchcraft, and we're going to condemn it, we need to make sure that the witchcraft written about by Rowling or Tolkein is the biblical witchcraft that is condemned in Scripture. I would argue strongly that it's not inline with any biblical definition of sorcery or witchcraft, even though they use the words witchcraft or wizardry.” ~ Aaron Currin  Guest Hosts Adam Powers Jeffrey Singer Links Watch Out of Oz on YouTube  SonRise Community Church Harry Potter The Lord of the Rings John Milton Andrew Peterson The Pilgrim's Progress John Piper J.K.

It's a heavy topic, but one of the most asked questions pastors receive. What is the ultimate fate of babies and the mentally handicapped?  Historically, there has been much debate around this topic due to its emotional weight, and the lack of scriptural clarity. Yet, it touches many Christian doctrines, from the depravity of humanity to the character of God.   This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest hosts Rick Reumann and Adam Powers discuss various approaches to this topic and how Christians should think through difficult themes in scripture.   Guest Hosts Rick Reumann Adam Powers Links Watch Out of Oz on YouTube SonRise Community Church Canons of Dort Calvinism Arminianism Universalism Covenant Theology Westminster Confession of Faith The Faith of Christopher Hitchens - Larry Taunton Subscribe Out of Oz Podcast Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Stay in touch BLDG 28 Church BLDG 28 on Facebook BLDG 28 on Instagram BLDG 28 on YouTube

Demonic activity is a favorite topic of Hollywood and pop culture. And the church seems to respond in drastically different ways — either acting like it doesn't exist or overplaying its importance.  As Christians, how should we deal with the reality of demons and the spiritual realm? What's the difference between our sinful nature and satanic influence? Is demonic activity a thing that used to exist, but doesn't anymore? This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest hosts Adam Powers and Rick Reumann discuss these questions and what the bible actually teaches about demonic activity in our lives and throughout history. “We tend to think of demonic activity in the church as this radically pernicious and obvious evil. Instead, could it just be sinister enough to dilute the gospel? What does Paul say about the Judaizers in Galatians? That's a damnable, demonic heresy, and it's just a slight perversion of the gospel — it's Jesus plus works, right?” ~ Aaron Currin  Guest Hosts Rick Reumann Adam Powers Links SonRise Community Church The Usual Suspects The Exorcism of Emily Rose Martin Luthor Harry Potter Subscribe Out of Oz Podcast Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Stay in touch BLDG 28 Church BLDG 28 on Facebook BLDG 28 on Instagram BLDG 28 on YouTube

What comes to mind when you think about 2020? For most of us, it's been an extremely difficult year. And you might be tempted to think, where is God? Is he in control? Is he loving? And, if so, how can we make sense of the pain and suffering all around us?  This week, Peter, Aaron, and guest hosts Rick Reumann and Adam Powers discuss the problem of evil and suffering in the world and what it says about the God of the Bible.  “If you look at the whole work, and the trajectory from beginning to end, you'll see the author's main intention and where he wants to carry these people all the way through. And he's not going to carry them away from suffering or apart from suffering to end, but he'll carry them and hold onto them through the midst of it.” ~ @adamwpowers Guest Hosts Rick Reumann Adam Powers Links SonRise Community Church J.R.R.

“Leadership is the ability to uncover the best from your team by removing the obstacles that prevent them from accomplishing that task.” This definition of leadership was provided on our podcast a couple of months by Mr. Adam Powers, and perhaps it may seem as if it is just another meaning of leadership that likes to get thrown around often. However, if we are to take a few extra minutes and look deeper into the context of that definition, there is something profound that is frequently overlooked when it comes to leading, and that is adding value to the lives of those around us sometimes means taking away things that inhibit real growth to be found. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

He lost almost 200 lbs, and he did it for the Lord. This week we talk with Adam Powers, the pastor of Bellview Baptist Church in Laurens, SC about his incredible journey of losing himself and losing the weight for God. 

Adam Powers writes – “Classic Tim Keller. Relaxed, laid back feel throughout the whole thing but yet so powerful and challenging as to God’s call to Christians as pilgrims and aliens in this world, living in enemy occupied territory. There is no better sermon I know of on Jeremiah 29, and it is so nice […]

Adam Powers writes – “There is no better sermon which displays the complete God-centered, Christian-Hedonist, Christ-exalting, Bible-saturated thought of John Piper better than this sermon.  He not only describes the completeness of his thought, but also goes into what may be the mistakes in this thought as well. Very humble and powerful at the same time, and since Piper is […]

Adam Powers says – “This sermon is so vital because in a brief 50 minute sermon Dever walks through the entire Bible in a powerful manner, showing how the whole thing fits together and points toward the same goal, Christ. I’ll never forget the first time I heard this sermon, it was a moment I’ll never forget.” from Southeastern […]
