Podcasts about Bible Study Fellowship

Host Meg Greer interviews Dave Belz — a retired Air Force colonel and teaching leader for Boerne Men's Bible Study Fellowship — on the podcast God and Our Dogs (Burnie Radio 103.9 FM). Dave shares stories about Charlie, a rescue Springer Spaniel who had been a stray and struggled with trust, commands, and boundaries. Two key stories emerge: The Easter Escape — Charlie bolts out the door before church, and Dave famously lassos him with a rope on the first try, earning newfound respect from his father-in-law. The Ranch Run — Shortly after adoption, Charlie is let loose on the family ranch and runs wild for 20–30 minutes, then returns peacefully — revealing the beauty of letting a dog fulfill its God-given purpose. These stories lead into a broader spiritual conversation about purpose and identity: God creates each person uniquely (Ephesians 2:10), and trying to force people — or ourselves — into roles we weren't designed for leads to unfulfillment. Dave encourages listeners to go to Scripture to discover their gifts and calling. The episode closes with information about Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) — a worldwide, interdenominational Bible study Dave leads locally in Boerne, TX, meeting Monday nights at First Baptist Church at 6:30 PM starting September 14th.

How do you build a strong organizational culture as a Christian leader? In this episode of the Profitable Christian Business Podcast, Doug Greathouse sits down with leadership expert Phil Begley to explore the foundations of leadership, culture, trust, and performance through a Christian lens. With over 40 years of experience in leadership development, organizational culture, and executive coaching, Phil shares practical insights on how leaders can build high-performing teams, align culture with values, and lead with both clarity and faith. In this episode, you'll learn: • How to build a strong organizational culture that drives performance • Why trust is the foundation of effective leadership • The biggest mistakes leaders make when trying to improve culture • How to align leadership, behavior, and values across your organization • The difference between leadership and management in real-world application • How Christian faith shapes leadership decisions and long-term impact If you're a Christian entrepreneur, business owner, or leader looking to improve team performance, strengthen culture, and lead with purpose, this episode will give you practical frameworks you can apply immediately.

On today's program, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has sued a small church in California for legal title to its property—but that small church is fighting back. We'll have details.  And, a hacker drained $85,000 from an Oklahoma church's bank account. Then in North Dakota, a woman was indicted for stealing over $600,000 from a church she worked at. Both cases highlight why ordinary access to church finances can equal extraordinary losses—and the need for tightening protocols. Also, six months ago, Barnabas Aid came under scrutiny for accusations of financial mismanagement. Now, under new leadership, the ministry is working hard to turn things around. Plus, Bible Study Fellowship prepares its new headquarters in Grapevine, Texas. But first, Agape Flights, a Christian aviation ministry, lost contact with one of its planes last Thursday. The next day, search and rescue teams found the plane crashed in the Haitian mountains. No one on board survived the crash. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth. Writers who contributed to today's program include Isaac Wood, Kim Roberts, Scott Barkley, Jessica Eturralde, Makella Knowles, and Christina Darnell.

[Slide 1] 2025 in Review 1.) [Slide 2] The challenges of 2025 a. Sickness i. Many sicknesses throughout the year are even still floating around. ii. Bouts of hand foot and mouth, the flu, fevers, sore throats, ear infections, and even some pesky allergies. iii. You need to be made of sterner stuff to live in MI I suppose. b. Physical issues i. Cancer battles are ongoing for some. ii. We had a couple broken bones iii. Weakness for some of our aging members iv. Back issues v. Sinus pressure vi. Tooth infections vii. Poison Ivy viii. Surgeries ix. Procedures x. And many doctor visits. c. Tragic Accidents i. We know of folks who have been involved in tragic accidents where people were injured. ii. Sometimes these accidents have changed people's lives forever. iii. Sometimes these accidents have stretched the limits of what it means to forgive and to love one another. d. Wars and Rumors of Wars i. The Russia Ukraine conflict continues ii. And the middle east of course. e. House hunting i. Many have moved to new locations and even new states and have been searching for somewhere to call their own. ii. Some have found homes for themselves – others are still looking diligently. f. Long trials i. Several have heard the word cancer uttered in their diagnosis this year. ii. Many have come through radiation or chemo or both. iii. Some among us took in family members who need constant care. iv. Kathy LaForest and her ongoing battle with cancer. v. Eric Beuaman's ongoing battle with congestive heart failure. vi. Joe and Sandy Henig moving into an assisted living facility and to be closer to family. vii. Jean Evans, with pancreatic cancer back and being put on hospice. viii. The Wingate family in general has endured quite a lot. With aging sisters and saying goodbye to nephews. g. Deaths of family and friends. i. Pat Dunsmore – Tania's father, after a long battle with COPD, went home to be with the Lord. ii. Rick Ellis – Pat and Lyle's Nephew, after yet another cancer battle, also passed on in peace. iii.

We have had some fairly large spiritual issues arise in the church this year. ii. We have had several disputes between neighbors and spouses. iii. We have seen the deceitfulness of sin draw away one of our members. iv. We have also seen others leave in dereliction of their membership covenant obligations. 2.) [Slide 3] The blessings of 2025 a. Weather i. Much closer to normal weather this year. ii. We didn't have 1 single hurricane make landfall in the US. Which is somewhat astounding. iii. Although we didn't have a white Christmas this year we have already had a couple snow storms and even had the snow stick around for quite a while. b. Numerical blessings i. Baby Jaspir Bogen ii. Baby Everett Wegner iii. Baby Leah McCue iv. Baby Loretta McCue is coming in a few short weeks. c. My Fellow American i. Chris Steary passed his test to become a US citizen this year. ii. Congrats to him. d. Audio Visual Upgrades i. We were able to upgrade our computer, projector, and soundboard for our worship services. ii. This was already in the works, and providentially the Lord saw to it that it became abundantly obvious that it was necessary after we experienced some significant technical difficulties during the service. iii. We even had to go old school with an overhead projector one week. e. Missionary blessings i. We had Eric and Cherie Daum with us at the beginning of this year for a couple months. 1. They have since gone back to Asia Pacific, purchased land, built a house, and have moved in. 2. They are still learning the local language and getting ready for a language check very soon. 3. Of course, Bernie and Sue are going back to help for an entire month. ii. We had the Lundquist's join us this year for two weeks including our Lord's Supper catered meal. iii. We also were able to help send Lucy to Senegal - which we heard about this morning. What an amazing ministry. iv. Jordan and Emily experienced heartache this year when Emilly was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. After two surgeries it appears they have gotten all of the cancer out. They will test again in a few months. The blessing here is that we have had the opportunity to provide a home for them to live in as they struggle through this time. Praise the Lord. f. Spiritual Blessings i. 4 new professions of faith this year 1. Carrigan Golab 2. Sabreana Porter 3. Waylon McLeod 4. Amanda Jansen ii. 4 baptisms this year iii. 3 New Members were added iv. We began a new Jr. Church format this year, breaking into 3 groups instead of just two. Overall, the teachers have done an amazing job and it seems as though the kids are learning a good deal. v. We began a study bible distribution project last year with a goal of insuring that every father in the church had a LSB John MacArthur study bible. We are happy to announce that only 4 of those bibles remain and most of you are benefitting from one of them. vi. As a church we have also had the opportunity to be a blessing to other organizations. 1. Classical Conversations has entered its 7th year in using our church for its campus. 2. Michigan Karate for Christ began using our building at the beginning of this year to train its students in Kenpo Karate 3. The 4h Club Rustic Ramblers began using our building this year for its meetings as well. 4. We also had two non-member weddings. 5. These have all given us opportunities to be a light to our community. g. We as a church have received the blessing of teaching – LOTS of teaching praise the Lord! i. Basics class continued this year 1. First with the financial peace university, moderated by the Stearys. 2. Then with the Basics for the Christian life study led by both Nick Galante and myself. ii. Thursday Night Prayer Group 1. We meet at 6pm via the TEAMS app. 2. Most nights we pray over our congregation and our many needs and then discuss the sermon from the previous Sunday. iii. Youth Community. 1. We have been plodding along with Youth Community this year. 2. The families who attend find great benefit to the concentrated doses of spiritual truths our children are memorizing in the Baptist Catechism and comradery around other parents struggling to teach key doctrinal truths to their kids. iv. Foundations 1. We actually made quite a good deal of progress this past year in foundations. 2. We took what was originally a 4 year goal to study the entire bible and have crammed that into a 10 year (and counting) chronological study of the scriptures. 3. We have made it to King Josiah. 4. Still this year we have finished Isaiah, began Jeremiah, almost completed 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles and will finish up Nahum in the next few weeks. v. Preaching 1. We finally finished the book of Acts this year. 2. It only took us 2 and a half years and 100 sermons – but we made it. 3. We began our study of 1 and 2 Thessalonians, of which we've made it to almost chapter 3. 4. I also preached a Puritan sermon for Thanksgiving from Thomas Manton. vi. BSF 1. Although not affiliated with our church directly, Bible Study Fellowship has a long history of being a great way for people to gather and study the bible together. 2. Many of our church members are either leading or participating in BSF this year in their study of Ezekiel, Daniel, Ezra, and Esther. vii. There were several more bible studies and gatherings – most of which are a couple or few people who gather regularly to study the scriptures. h. Church finances held i. Even though we had a slight decrease in giving – we still met budget by spending less than we brought in. ii. This is in addition to doing some minor repairs to the parking lot and replacing much of our audio-visual equipment. i. Elders have been challenged this year i. I put this in the blessing category because it is indeed a blessing to see the Lord work through the plurality of qualified leaders He has given you for this church. ii. We have wrestled with questions this year, that we did not expect. iii. We have been baffled, confused, grieved, overjoyed, and frustrated. iv. We have wept together, tears of grief and tears of joy. v. We have laughed together. vi. We have even begun laying plans for developing future Elders. vii. Although no one ever said being an Elder would be easy – this year it was abundantly clear. viii. Pray for your Elders. I would guess that about 75% of our job is held in confidence and is never presented in any way to any of you. ix. Give your Elders the benefit of the doubt too. Should they say or do something that seems egregious… it probably has another explanation. If someone comes to you suggesting that the Elders are doing something crazy – perhaps you should either dismiss what they said or call an Elder up and get it straight from them. x. This year especially – let me remind you – we have labored for your souls. xi. Even if it seems like we don't get much done… know that you only see about 25% of what is happening around here. xii. Remember… we could always go slower.

Guest Bio: Cathy Sall works at Our Daily Bread Ministries as a Project Manager. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her daughter Caili, either here in Michigan or out in Utah, mentoring a child through KIDS HOPE USA, attending Bible Study Fellowship, or reading. Cathy and Caili are planning a trip back to China in the near future, and her lifelong dream is to get to the Holy Land someday.    Guest Bio: Caili Sall is studying social work at Southern Utah University. Caili has an adventurous spirit. She took a gap year between high school and college and spent 3 months in South Africa and 3 months in the Holy Land. She will be venturing out to Mannheim, Germany to study during her spring semester in 2025. She also loves running, snowboarding, and hiking with her friends.    Show Summary: When we reflect on our stories, we are often left with memories that carry both joy and grief. Perhaps you got a job promotion while mourning the loss of a loved one, or you got bad news while celebrating a big event. We often have seasons of celebration that mix with times of mourning. Cathy and Caili Sall are a mother-daughter duo who have learned how to hold all of the feelings that come with adoption. Cathy was a single woman when she felt God call her to adopt Caili, an orphan in China. Together, they've learned how to navigate the ups and downs of their story while acknowledging the grief and pain that come with it. Join hosts Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni as they hear the testimony of Cathy and Caili during this God Hears Her conversation.   Notes and Quotes:  “In whatever happens along this journey, I need to trust that [God] is still walking beside me, and leading me and guiding me.” —Cathy Sall  “If you're praying right now [about adoption] or God lays it on your heart, He will walk you through it. He will guide you through it, and He will walk each step with you.” —Cathy Sall  “God gives us grace; He extends it to us so we can show ourselves grace [in our stories].” —Caili Sall  “There's a lot of sorrow and grief in my adoption story. But I don't necessarily realize those bad things. To me, when I gain those strengths and things as a part of my story, I feel like I'm closer to the heart of Jesus.” —Caili Sall    Verses:  Ecclesiastes 1:18   Links:  Caili's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cailisall/ Cathy's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cathy.sall God Hears Her website: https://godhearsher.org/ God Hears Her email sign-up: https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc  Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast Eryn's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/ Vivian's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/ Elisa's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/ Our Daily Bread Ministries website: https://www.odbm.org/   MB01QE3FJAXIQZW

Today's guest is my internet friend, Elizabeth Parsons. I found Elizabeth a few years ago when I ordered some of her elderberry syrup kits and over the years, I've learned so much from her. She is a former pediatric RN, a home-schooling mom to 6 and she runs her own holistic living business. Elizabeth helped me learn to pursue natural healing remedies for my family, starting with her elderberry syrup. Her Instagram page is full of truly helpful tips from what to do when your child has a wart, to how to help your child with an ear infection or a burn and so much more. I have learned so much from her in an area of my life and motherhood where I really wanted to grow. In this episode Elizabeth and I talk about how she moved from the traditional medical field to a more wholistic, natural led mindset, when there is a place for each. We also talk about her surprise twins born at home, yes really! We cover home schooling, making simple choices to start whole health living and so much more! I loved our conversation, and I know you will too. Please be sure to follow Elizabeth so you can start learning from her too.  Where to find Elizabeth: On her website here On Instagram here  Resources mentioned in this episode: Find Elisabeth's elderberry syrup here See the “Swaps Highlight” in Elizabeth's Instagram highlights here Find more information on Bible Study Fellowship here  The Greta Eskridge Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

Is it acceptable to question God or Christianity if you call yourself a Christian? Does doubt mean you're not truly a Christian? Should faith be so unwavering that questioning is off-limits? These were questions I wrestled with in my youth, and I believe that misconception still lingers today. In this episode, our guest will help us explore the beauty of curiosity and how asking questions can deepen our faith.

When communication within a nonprofit flows effectively — from leadership to management to staff, and vice versa — teams tend to work well together and the nonprofit thrives. However, when enough breakdowns in communication occur, a toxic work culture can quickly take root. In today's episode, we'll explore the unique challenges nonprofits face in fostering clear communication, and strategies for creating more engaged teams, safer environments for feedback, and ultimately, greater impact in your mission.

And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.

Lacey Dobrient shares the gift of The Color Method, a Bible study tool the Lord downloaded to her soul following a season of grief. She was feeling hurt, sad, confused, even angry, and was not wanting to hold on to God. The good news is, God always holds onto us–and he held on to Lacey! He not only held on, he gave her a gift–and part of it was The Color Method. This method is a unique type of Bible study that uses color to expand our understanding of Scripture. You will be amazed by what you learn! Ready to hear how you can meet God at a deeper level, through color? Let's go! LACEY DOBRIENT grew up in Memphis, Tennessee, where she graduated from The Hutchison School. She then went on to graduate from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, with a BA in Communications. She was a Group Discussion Leader in Bible Study Fellowship for 5 years, and attends Watermark Community Church, where she serves as a Group Leader in the women's ministry. Her passion is to share the unfailing love of God with others, and to encourage those searching for purpose in life to turn to the holy and inspired Word of God, where there is hope, freedom and eternal life. Lacey is married to Robert, and they live in Dallas, Texas, with their two beloved daughters, Lilly Grace and Evie.   Resources Learn more about The Color Method Titus 3:4-7: example of a word picture showing God's love for US   Next Steps Share this episode with a friend Follow us on FB & IG Check out our Blog Browse our at home Resources

Joanne Hagemeyer recalls how doors were closed to women for ministry in many ways. "I didn't have a place in the church but I had a place in this Bible study."

On New Year's Day, Ken opened his email to find a long letter of gratitude for the podcast. It came from a person he'd never met. An emerging leader and Bible teacher, her world was shaken when many of the women in her organization's Bible study group and church became Trump supporters. Kristyn shares her faith journey from her early years raised by a single mother. After years of fertility treatment, she delivered the first of two children. At that time, she became a devoted Jesus-follower and serious Bible student. She emerged as a discussion leader for six years and then another seven years as a certified teaching leader (the weekly lecturer) in Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) in the Detroit area. BSF is a global organization drawing folks around the world into intense, in-depth study of the Bible. (Coincidentally, Ken's mother was also a Teaching Leader for BSF in the 70s and 80s.) Kristyn came to connect the strict rules and fundamentalist doctrine with a religious conservatism that fuels a toxic form of Trumpism, despite the clear contradictions. She felt alone and disconnected until she found resources (including books and podcasts) that helped her understand - there are many of us recovering fundamentalists out there. It's a sweet conversation that affirms faith, life, and genuine friendship.SHOW NOTES | Contact Kristyn Secory | Become a PatronSupport the show

This week I speak with Joanne Hagemeyer. When she received her own Bible at the age of nine, she read the whole book, from preface to concordance, with transcendent joy, knowing these were the very words of God. Today, Joanne continues in God's call to teach, counsel, mentor, and train in God's word and Spirit through retreats, Bible studies, and online classes. After leading and teaching a Bible class of 350–500 students from 2003 to 2013, Joanne retired in 2018 as an advisor and mentor to eight Bible classes in the Maryland area through Bible Study Fellowship.
