Follow us on all your podcast platforms and: Instagram: @manhoodneat X: Manhood Neat (@ManhoodNeat) / X Youtube: Manhood, Neat Podcast - YouTube Reach out: manhood.neat@gmail.com Show Notes: Biblical Qualifications for Elders/Overseers/Pastors Overview: Terms "elder" (presbyteros), "overseer" (episkopos), and "pastor" (poimen) are interchangeable in Scripture, focusing on character over credentials. Key Bible verses: 1 Timothy 3:1-7: Must be above reproach, faithful to wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not drunkard/violent/quarrelsome/greedy, manage family well, not recent convert, good reputation. Titus 1:5-9: Blameless, husband of one wife, faithful children, not arrogant/quick-tempered/drunkard/violent/greedy, but hospitable, lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, disciplined; hold firm to sound doctrine. 1 Peter 5:1-4: Serve willingly, not for gain, as examples without lording over other Specific Roles According to the Bible Interchangeable roles: Acts 20:17-28 shows elders as overseers who shepherd (pastor) the flock. Core responsibilities: Shepherd/protect: 1 Peter 5:1-4—Watch over flock willingly, as examples. Teach/preach: 1 Timothy 3:2 ("able to teach"); 1 Timothy 5:17—Honor those laboring in preaching/teaching. Oversee/lead: Acts 20:28—Guard against false teaching; Ephesians 4:11-12—Equip saints for ministry

In a world where negativity dominates headlines, it's easy to think things are only getting worse. Yet broader trends—declining poverty, rising productivity, and a greener planet show reasons for hope. Still, our hearts often default to grumbling in the face of suffering, much like the Israelites in the wilderness who, despite God's miracles, chose doubt and complaint over trust. Paul's letter to the Philippians contrasts this response with living blamelessly as children of God, reminding us that bitterness is not just a reaction but a choice to overlook God's goodness and provision.
“Blameless”, Jackie Hill Perry's new album, is about her personal faith journey and the importance of conviction in her work. She reflects on her weaknesses, the challenges of marriage, and the creative process behind her music. Jackie emphasizes the significance of community, trust in God, and the need for curiosity in one's spiritual journey. She also shares insights on sustaining a career in music and the importance of making art that honors God while being excellent.
Scott Petrak joined Baskin and Phelps to break down the Browns' week 2 loss to the Ravens. He talked about where the team fell short and whether or not Kevin Stefanski should be to blame for the loss, whether or not the team should consider benching Joe Flacco, and if there were any bright spots on the day.

What if your everyday complaints were actually a form of blasphemy? In this powerful exploration of Philippians 2:15-18, we discover the radical call to become "blameless and harmless children of God" in a world that values self-defense and righteous anger.The ancient Greek word "akareos" paints a striking picture of Christians as defenseless lambs without horns – completely vulnerable yet protected by the ultimate Shepherd. This counterintuitive approach challenges our natural instinct to defend our reputation, "clap back" at critics, or vindicate ourselves when wronged. Through personal stories and biblical insights, we see how taking the high road isn't weakness but profound spiritual strength.The episode concludes with a powerful reminder that our entire Christian journey begins and ends with simple trust in God. Just as the Israelites forgot God's mighty works and focused on their inadequacies, we too can lose our effectiveness when we shift the spotlight from God's power to our limitations. When facing impossible situations, our testimony should remain unchanged: "I trust God."My hope is that this podcast helps grow your faith and equips you to accomplish your dreams and goals!Follow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookFollow me on TikTok
August 31st 2025 – Upright and Blameless – Job 1:1-5 by Exchange Church Shepparton
In this sermon, Doug explains the spiritual transformation from a former life alienated from God to a new life reconciled with Him, presented as holy, faultless, and blameless through the work of Jesus Christ, while also urging believers to persevere in their faith and heed God's warnings against spiritual indifference.

First Timothy 3:1–2a issues a call for Christians and churches to pursue blamelessness—before God, before other Christians, and before the world—as a reflection of Christ's character, using the qualifications for church elders as a model for all believers. Every church member should pursue the Christlike character expected of leaders. When this happens corporately, the church becomes a powerful testimony that glorifies God and impacts the world.
It doesn't always seem fair, does it? When you look around the world and see faithful believers in Christ struggling in life's circumstances, while those who deny God seem to succeed. The lives of those who cherish the things of this world can appear so full, right up to death. Compare this to the life of a believer, who, in the pit of their despair, can come to fear what plans the Lord has in store for them next, even as he brings them into his holiness. This week in Job 20-24, we will consider four things from the comments of Job and his friends Zophar and Eliphaz. First, the success of the wicked is temporary and ultimately ends in destruction. Second, suffering can lead to impatience with the timing of God's judgment of the wicked. Third, it is easy to judge a person's favour with God based on their circumstances. Fourth, a faithful person can become afraid of God's plans for their future.

For the text to this week's passage, please click Job 1:1-12; For more information about Maranatha, please visit www.mbccolumbus.org
The sermon focuses on the blessings of living according to God's instruction, seeking the Lord wholeheartedly, and diligently keeping His commands.
Can violence be redemptive? Scripture (and history) says no.And yet, we keep trying.Today we revisit the story of Cain and his brother Abel to see if we can understand the root of violence and how God responds to those who perpetrate it. How are we told to respond?
We sometime sing "You give and take away. You give and take away. My heart will choose to say, 'Lord Blessed be your name.'" These words come from the lips of Job for whom they are not merely some theological cliché or theoretical belief, nor are they simply the emotive words of a worship song – they are his lived experience. Job's theology, his faith and his very soul are tested to the extreme and still he says, "Blessed be the name of the Lord." In our new 'Lessons From Job' preaching series commencing this Sunday, we will hear some brutally honest questions and statements from Job and his friends regarding God and his justice, especially when it comes to the matters of sin and suffering. This week we will learn that Job is both blameless and blessed, and yet he also knows the great need for sin to be atoned. This is something many in our own affluent (blessed?) society have forgotten. Job is a large book, and not an easy one to get our heads around. To help prepare our hearts and minds for the coming series can I encourage us all, young and old, to check out this short (11 minute) video from The Bible Project before this coming Sunday. It gives an excellent summary of the Book of Job. (Click HERE to watch the video! - or use the link below.) You will find it extremely helpful as we endeavour to learn some 'Lessons From Job'.

Many parts of the world indulge in what is called ‘the blame game.' Very few admit anything is their fault – and lawyers become very wealthy! There is less and less genuine honesty in our world: men and women may deceive one another – but God is never deceived!In Paul's 1st letter to the Thessalonians he is exceedingly anxious for news of them. He worries as to whether they are standing firm in the faith. His letter to them, we read today, shows he is relieved “that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of your faith and love …” [3 v.6], adding, “we have been comforted about you through your faith. For now we live, if you are standing fast in the Lord.” [v.7,8]What causes us to “live”? Is it the same as what causes Paul? He is keen to visit them and see them “face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith?” [v.10] Is anything lacking in our faith? Those striving to be true believers today have greater and greater challenges that threaten to undermine their faith.We particularly noted Paul's next words, ”may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, as we do for you, so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness” [v.12,13] That word “establish” indicates a strengthening so your heart, your outlook on life becomes ‘fixed' How fixed is your mind?It is very interesting that it is the same Greek word as Jesus used in warning Peter of the ordeal he would face in and after the Garden of Gethsemane. He told Peter, “but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” [Luke 22 v,32] We all need to strengthen our hearts so that they are established and become “blameless.” The Greek word here is first used in Luke 1 v.6 about the parents of John the Baptist that they were “walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord”Our reading, meditation and prayers on God's word are the source of the ‘glue' to fix our minds – that will “establish” our “hearts blameless” – so that when “the Lord himself (will) descend from heaven with a cry of command with the voice of an archangel… then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up … to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord” [4 v.16,17] And where will the Lord be? He will establish a world-wide kingdom as we read on Monday in Isaiah ch, 2 v.2-5.Paul ends his letter with another pressing appeal and prayer, “Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord … He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.” [5 v.23,24] He will surely do it, – so let us “establish” our “hearts.”
In this episode of The Tech Trek, Amir Bormand talks with Jason Wells, Head of Engineering at BrowserBase, about building a high-performance culture rooted in trust, emotional intelligence, and psychological safety. Jason shares how his unconventional path—including a six-year break from tech—helped shape a management philosophy that puts human connection at the center of engineering leadership. From dismantling blame culture to fostering self-compassion and authentic feedback loops, Jason offers a powerful framework for anyone looking to lead modern tech teams more intentionally.
In this series we will be reading through the Psalms one by one and pointing out cool stuff along the way.
