In this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse Schwamb and Tony Arsenal delve into the letter of Philemon, focusing on the transformative power of the gospel in relationships. They examine Paul's heartfelt appeal to Philemon on behalf of Onesimus, a slave who has become a believer and is now returning as a brother in Christ. The discussion reflects on the profound theological implications of forgiveness, reconciliation, and Christian unity, as well as the way the gospel subverts societal roles while upholding spiritual kinship. Jesse and Tony explore the delicate yet powerful language Paul employs in his letter, highlighting how he appeals to Philemon's faith and love to guide his actions. Paul's request challenges Philemon to see Onesimus not just as a slave but as a beloved brother, emphasizing the radical equality that the gospel brings to all believers. The hosts unpack the layered dynamics of this relationship, showing how it serves as a practical application of the theology outlined in Colossians. The conversation also touches on the broader implications of living out the gospel in everyday relationships. Through Paul's example, believers are encouraged to prioritize love, forgiveness, and humility, embodying the transformative work of Christ in their interactions with others. This episode offers rich insights into how theology intersects with daily life, challenging listeners to reflect on their own relationships in light of the gospel. Key Points: Paul's appeal to Philemon demonstrates a balance between authority and love, showcasing how Christian leaders can guide others in faith. The gospel transforms relationships, breaking down societal barriers and emphasizing spiritual equality among believers. Forgiveness and reconciliation are central themes, as Paul challenges Philemon to welcome Onesimus back not as a slave but as a beloved brother in Christ. Questions for Reflection: How does the gospel challenge societal roles and transform relationships in your life? What can we learn from Paul's approach to addressing sensitive and difficult situations with love and tact? How does recognizing the spiritual equality of all believers impact your interactions within the church and beyond?

In this episode, I sit down with Brenna Blain for one of the most honest conversations I've had on the podcast. We talk about what it really looks like to follow Jesus while still battling mental illness, trauma, and temptation. Brenna shares her powerful story from growing up in church as a pastor's kid, abuse, same-sex attraction, and deep seasons of depression. We talk about what it means to suffer well, how motherhood can actually disciple us, and why God's goodness doesn't always look like the comfort we expected - yet we hold fast to the promise that God heals always, even if it's not on this side of eternity. If you've ever asked, “Can I still love Jesus and feel this broken?” this episode is for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Is "biblical" always what it seems? In this thought-provoking episode, the hosts unpack why the word "biblical" might not mean what you think and explore its misuse across faith, politics, and cultural issues. From examining how "biblical" has become a branding tool to discussing its role in sociological stress tests and power dynamics, this conversation challenges us to rethink how we approach scripture and the teachings of Jesus. The discussion delves into the complexity of interpreting the Bible, emphasizing the need to consider the text itself, the cultural context behind the text, and our own assumptions in front of the text. With deep humility and intellectual curiosity, the hosts highlight how faithful readings of scripture require dialogue, critical thinking, and a willingness to hold tension between differing perspectives. How does the Bible shape the church's role in society? What does it mean to navigate cultural challenges with cruciformity and justice in mind? Join the conversation as these questions and more are explored with nuance and authenticity.  Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:58 Exploring the Concept of 'Biblical' 05:55 The Sociological and Branding Aspects of 'Biblical' 08:49 The Ambiguity of 'Biblical' in Conversations 11:56 The Power Dynamics of 'Biblical' Language 15:04 The Clear Teaching of the Bible: A Nuanced Approach 17:55 Understanding Context: Behind and In Front of the Text 31:33 The Complexity of Biblical Teachings 36:28 Navigating Interpretations and Understanding 40:04 The Role of Community in Biblical Interpretation 49:07 The Nature of Communication and Misunderstanding 56:18 Unity in Biblical Diversity As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.

This sermon is part of a series on Colossians, focusing on verses 1:24-2:3. The central message emphasizes that 'Christ is enough' - a theme that runs throughout the entire book.

The sermon highlights how the church historically grows through persecution and affliction, and emphasizes that true fulfillment can only be found in Jesus Christ.How does the concept of 'Christ is enough' challenge our modern tendency to seek fulfillment in other things?What role does suffering play in our spiritual growth according to this passage?How has persecution historically affected the growth of the church? Why do you think this is?What does it mean to have 'Christ in you, the hope of glory'?How can we balance both warning and teaching in our relationships with fellow believers?Why is it important to align our opinions with God's Word rather than trying to make God's Word align with our opinions?What does it mean to be weak so that Christ's power can be perfected in us?How can we practically demonstrate that Christ is enough in our daily lives?Support the show

Today, Stephanie invites us to discover the wisdom and peace that come from being deeply immersed in God's Word, learning to frame our lives from His perspective, and embracing the power of “dreaming small” in a world obsessed with performance, productivity, and success. She invites us to dream small, because we serve a big God. She begins by reflecting on the abundance of Christian resources addressing contemporary anxieties—productivity, body image, success—yet she points out many solutions don't truly immerse us in Scripture. She urges us to ask, “What does God say about these issues?” When we view our lives through God's eyes, many problems become smaller and less urgent. Immersion in Scripture doesn't only heal us; it often prevents problems from taking root in the first place. When we passionately pursue God, our unhealthy attachments and distractions are “pushed to the periphery.” Making God our central “affection” leads to a natural displacement of the lesser things demanding our attention. It's what Thomas Chalmers calls the “expulsion power of a new affection”, Stephanie shares her journey from aspiring to “dream big”—as culture demands—to finding relief and purpose in “dreaming small.” This isn't about stifling ambition, but about setting aside others' expectations and enjoying God's bigness by being “comfortably nestled” in our own smallness. True success, she argues, isn't found in big achievements, but in daily delighting in God. She challenges common cultural idols: ·         Anxiety: Rooted in control issues; cured by deeply trusting God's sovereignty. ·         Body Image: Healed by adopting God's view of our bodies, rather than striving for ever-changing cultural standards. ·         Productivity & Performance: Our society idolizes doing more and being at the top, but Jesus offers rest; God calls us to steward well, but not to endless striving. Scripture encourages letting go of measuring worth by output or appearance and instead valuing peace, humility, and unbroken fellowship with God. God often calls us to faithfulness in small, seemingly mundane opportunities. Life-changing moments may never arrive, or they may find us unprepared if we haven't practiced with the “little things.” God's kingdom often advances not through grand gestures, but through humble, everyday obedience. Lasting change is God's work. Desiring God and framing our priorities around Him requires deep, slow transformation—a “renewing of the mind” (Romans 12:2)—which happens through soaking in God's Word and presence. Only then are we freed from endless striving to embrace peace and joy anchored in Christ. Stephanie encourages us to let go of chasing worldly standards of success, productivity, and performance. Instead, pursue deeper intimacy with God through Scripture—allowing Him to redefine what truly matters, transform your mind, and fill your life with the peace, love, and humility that only He can give. Dream small, because you serve a big God. We invite you to check out the first episode of each of our series, and decide which one you will want to start with.

This sermon explores key theological themes from Colossians 1:15-23. Pastor Devin breaks down eight major theological concepts including Christology, Biblical cosmology, the supremacy of Christ, soteriology (salvation), ecclesiology (church doctrine), eschatology (end times), spiritual warfare, and theology proper. The passage emphasizes Jesus' divine nature, his role as creator and sustainer of all things, and his supremacy over all creation.Discussion Questions:What does it mean that Jesus is 'the image of the invisible God'?How does understanding Jesus as Creator affect your view of Him?What does it mean that 'by Him all things hold together'?Why is it important that Jesus is the head of the church?How does Jesus' blood bring reconciliation between God and humans?What does it mean to remain 'grounded and steadfast in the faith'?How do you distinguish between God's sovereign will and His relational will?What areas of your life need to be brought under Christ's supremacy?Support the show

The relationship between faith, love, and hope forms a powerful framework for Christian living, as revealed in Colossians. True godly love can only emerge from genuine faith, distinguishing itself from shallow, conditional human love. This faith-based love transforms relationships and situations with divine purpose and depth. Christian hope stands uniquely secured in heaven, providing stability regardless of worldly circumstances such as economic uncertainty or political turmoil.Spiritual growth requires dedicated knowledge of God's Word and will, achieved through regular Bible study, sound theological understanding, and the ability to discern truth from false teaching. While Christianity doesn't promise a pain-free existence, it equips believers with strength to endure difficulties, hope during trials, and power through the Holy Spirit. This combination of faith, knowledge, and hope enables Christians to maintain an eternal perspective during temporary struggles, serving as a powerful testimony to others.Support the show

When my son was diagnosed with autism at age two—and later with Fragile X syndrome—I entered a kind of grief I wasn't prepared for. It wasn't loud or dramatic. It was quiet, slow, and deeply sacred. It was the grief of letting go of the life I imagined and learning to embrace the one God was writing.In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the pain, surrender, and beauty that come with raising a child with special needs while clinging to faith in Jesus. I talk about the silent ache of broken expectations, the sacredness of honest lament, and the unexpected closeness of God in the middle of it all.Grief doesn't always come from death—it often comes from the loss of an idea, a dream, or a version of life we thought we'd have. But even there, God is present. Even in our most unspoken sorrows, He is faithful. And even when healing doesn't look the way we hoped, He still gets the glory.If you've ever carried a grief you didn't choose, or wrestled with faith in the face of life's hardest questions, this episode is for you. May it remind you that you're not alone—and that hope still lives here, too.Listen now on all audio platforms.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of In Totality, I'm talking about what it means to truly live as a sacrifice for God.As Christians, we love the idea of purpose, calling, and blessing, but what about surrender? What about the moments when obedience costs you relationships, opportunities, reputation—or comfort? Scripture tells us to offer our lives as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God… but are we really willing to endure suffering and persecution for His name's sake?Whether your walk with Christ means walking away from what's easy, what's popular, or what makes sense to the world — it's worth it! If you've ever wrestled with obedience when it's hard, or felt the weight of standing firm in your faith, this conversation is for you!Tune in and be reminded: He is worthy of it all!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse Schwamb dives into Colossians 3:1-11, exploring the profound theological truths about our union with Christ and how it transforms our identity, behavior, and perspective. Jesse emphasizes the Apostle Paul's call for Christians to seek the things above, set their minds on heavenly matters, and put to death earthly desires. With Tony absent this week, Jesse unpacks the richness of this passage solo, offering practical insights and reflections on living a Christ-centered life. Jesse begins by discussing the "two addresses" believers inhabit: their earthly location and their heavenly citizenship in Christ. He highlights how our identity in Christ secures us in the heavenly realm, hidden with Christ in God, and how this truth should inform and shape our daily lives. Through Paul's words, Jesse emphasizes the tangible newness believers experience in Christ—new priorities, a new culture, and even a "new wardrobe," symbolizing our transformed life. The episode also touches on the practical implications of this passage, including putting to death sinful behaviors, embracing Christian community, and living with a heavenly-minded focus. Jesse encourages listeners to meditate on their identity in Christ, love their church family deeply, and live out the gospel transformation in every area of life. Key Points: Union with Christ and Heavenly Citizenship: Believers are hidden with Christ in God, granting them a secure and unshakable identity in the heavenly realm. The Call to Put Sin to Death: Paul lists specific sins to abandon, emphasizing the transformation that comes from being united with Christ and living out the gospel truth. Heavenly-Minded Living: Christians are encouraged to set their minds on things above, focusing on eternal treasures rather than temporary earthly desires. The Role of Christian Community: Jesse highlights the importance of the local church as a place where believers grow together, bear with one another, and display the unifying power of Christ. Questions for Reflection: How does the reality of being "hidden with Christ in God" shape your daily perspective and priorities? What earthly desires or behaviors do you need to "put to death" in light of your identity in Christ? How can you better love and serve your local church community as an expression of your union with Christ? In what ways can you focus more on heavenly treasures and less on earthly concerns?

Have you ever found yourself craving honest, soul-deep connection—with others, with your community, and with God—but not quite knowing how to get there?

In our conversation, we talk about: Why we hide behind masks of pride and fear—and how to let them fall What it really means to be part of a soul-connected church How to lead with courageous authenticity in a world full of artificiality And why the very things we're afraid to reveal are often the gateway to deeper love and acceptance If you've ever felt lonely, disconnected, or unsure how to create deeper relationships in your life or church, I encourage you to tune in.
