What do typhoon evacuations, koala selfies, and second breakfast in Hobbiton have in common? They've all been part of Deacon Bob's adventurous month. After a few weeks apart, Father Dave and Deacon Bob are back, swapping globe-trotting tales, ministry moments, and a surprisingly full slate of sports updates. Bob's recent trip took him from the typhoon-swept Philippines to Singapore, Perth, Sydney, and a bucket-list stop in New Zealand's Hobbiton (yes, complete with hobbit holes, the Green Dragon Inn, and second breakfast). Along the way, he preached to 90 youth leaders just hours after a typhoon hit, met a koala, saw kangaroos, and even met a listener named Rain who drove five hours just to hear him speak. There were plenty of memorable meals, from perfect pancakes to less-than-crispy bacon. Meanwhile, Father Dave stayed stateside, baptizing great-nieces (one walked to her own baptism), speaking at the Knights of Columbus Conference, and making a moving visit to the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine in Oklahoma City. He shares Rother's remarkable story—from failing Latin in seminary, to obeying his bishop's call to return to Guatemala, to his martyrdom in 1981—and the beauty of a shrine built right in the heart of the city it serves. Sports fans get plenty too: the debut of MLB's first female umpire Jen Pawol (including her Hall of Fame–bound first pitch), Tom Brady's towering new statue, and even a trivia challenge about the University of Michigan making draft history. Naturally, there are detours, including CGI vs. AI, bad sports statues, and ministry moments that transcended cultural boundaries. But through it all, the heart stays the same: joyfully sharing the Gospel, wherever God sends you (even if it's to a sheep paddock in New Zealand). Highlighted Sections (00:00) Sports, Schedules, and Saying Goodbye The guys open with bittersweet news about the podcast winding down, why recording has gotten harder, and an invitation for listeners to share favorite memories. They then go into the week's light sports slate and review the new Superman. Even with the end in sight, their trademark banter is alive and well. (05:41) Football, Statues, and Sports Trivia Deacon Bob previews a Buccaneers-Steelers preseason game while Father Dave looks forward to Steelers training camp. They discuss Tom Brady's towering statue and celebrate Jen Pawol historic debut as MLB's first female umpire. The segment wraps with a trivia challenge about a university making draft history in all four major leagues. (15:44) From Typhoons to Hobbit Holes Bob recounts ministry in the Philippines, Perth, and New Zealand, including speaking to youth leaders after a typhoon and connecting with alumni abroad. He describes walking through the Shire set from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, complete with hobbit holes and the Green Dragon Inn. Jenny may not be a huge fan of the films, but even she found the tour magical. (23:42) Sydney, Koalas, and the Ends of the Earth From welcoming bishops to preaching across cultures, Bob reflects on moments when the Holy Spirit's anointing was tangible. He shares encounters with young adults, a koala, and a listener who drove five hours to hear him speak. Each stop reaffirmed the universal joy of sharing the Gospel. (25:42) Baptisms, Knights, and Blessed Stanley Rother Father Dave talks about baptizing his great-nieces and representing Franciscan University at the Knights of Columbus Conference. He shares the moving story of Blessed Stanley Rother a missionary priest martyred in Guatemala, and describes visiting the shrine dedicated to him. The witness of Rother's courage and devotion left a lasting impression. (32:37) Feast Days and a Chapel Blessing Looking ahead to the Feast of the Assumption they pray for peace amid global tensions. Father Dave previews the blessing of Franciscan University's newly renovated Christ the King Chapel, while Bob outlines upcoming speaking engagements. The conversation closes with anticipation for the start of the school year.

This week Matthew Wehrly teaches on Baptism as we prepare to celebrate Baptisms in a few weeks. Col 4:1-6, 2 Cor 5:16-21
We're back in the studio for Episode 299, shaking off the summer sand and diving into all the ministry mayhem we missed while you were at camp, VBS, or just trying to survive without air conditioning.In this episode: • We share our best (and worst) Baptism Sunday strategies—what worked, what flopped, and how to keep the water warm and the volunteers sane. • Frank gives us the inside scoop on Vision Sunday at Lakeview and the official launch of Cross & Crown Church, complete with a new logo and fresh t-shirts (soft cotton, obviously). • Oh, and yes... there's a real-life waffle stomp story. It's exactly what you're afraid it is.As always, we're bringing honest talk about life, ministry, and the strange things that happen the morning after.Rate, review, share it with your worship pastor, and please—for the love of all that is holy—check the drain cover before you hop in the church baptismal.
Title: The GospelMain Text: Galatians 5:19-21; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11; Matthew 15:18-20: Acts 26:18; Mark 1:14-15; Acts 20:18-21; Galatians 5:22-25; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Titus 2:11-14; Acts 2:22-41; and Romans 1:16-17.Preaching Point: The good news that Christ bore our judgment on the cross should cause us to take sin seriously, turn from it, and trust that Jesus absorbed the wrath we deserve and gives us His righteousness.
Baptisms at Compass Bible Church | July 26-27, 2025
7/27/25 Baptisms! Plus a message from Andy Smith.
Why Baptisms?: Continued - Baptism into the Body of Christ
The Church has taught from the beginning that there is only one baptism, namely that baptism in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit that Jesus tasked his apostles with spreading to the four corners of the earth.
In this weeks Quantum we look at Muslim dogs, British Afghans; Masterchef; the Cold Play concert reveal; Banning British flags in Brirish schools; Sandi Peggi and the madness of NHS Fife; Israel, Syria and the Druze; the MP Rachel MAskell; Ricky Gervais on God; Baptisms in Bournemouth; Chariots of Fire; and the Final Word - Acts 2. with music from Patti Page, Capercaillie, Coldplay, Steely Dan; Vangelis and Van Morrison.
Bats cut the badlands sky.A traditional man softens. Who gets to cry? Who gets to weave?Another man steps into the ocean and forgets himself. He comes back with nothing.But what's that he's offering to the being who sent him in?The waters are rising. Step in.Free Story & Media ConsultationComment here This is a public episode.

From our 5pm Baptism service, Emma unpacks why we baptise.
We held a special outdoor service where the body of Christ gathered under a large tent to worship together, be encouraged by the Word of God, and to witness and recieve new members and those making outward professions of faith through baptism. It was a beautiful picture of the kingdom of Heaven and Lord's faithfulness through generations.

In this episode of Mormon Newscast, we dive headfirst into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' bold claim that baptisms are skyrocketing. Is this truly a sign of global revival, or is there more going on beneath the surface? Bill Reel, Radio Free Mormon, and Rebecca Bibliotheca break down the numbers, and question… Read More »Mormon Baptisms Through The Roof?

It's just your boys Andrew Larsen and Frank Gil today, and oh boy, there's a lot to unpack from an emotional, exciting Sunday! Lakeview's Baptism Sunday brought the celebration vibes! Tim brought the Word, preaching on spiritual gifts... and in true Morning After fashion, Frank somehow got thrown under the theological bus and labeled a cessationist. (Spoiler alert: he took it like a champ. Mostly.) Meanwhile over at Safety Harbor, it was a bittersweet morning. Andrew and the church family had to say goodbye to a beloved couple who have been a pillar of ministry and community life for years. Lots of hugs. Maybe even a manly tear or two.
Thank you for joining us for Christian Faith Center's Sermon of the week. This message is from our Nampa Location. Pastor Jordan continues a new series message "A Firm Foundation"The doctrine of baptism was considered fundamental for the believer in the New Testament. Most of us only think of one baptism when we think about baptism! But there are actually three baptisms each New Testament believer should experience.
This weekend, we wrestled with a raw and honest reality: Fear often follows us, even after the highest spiritual moments. Baptisms, breakthroughs, Easter celebrations — none guarantee that fear won't sneak back in on Monday morning.
