Chris sat down with two first-time guests, Mandy Smith and Dennis Edwards, at the recent Missio Alliance Awakenings event. Chris brought them together because their recent work shares a thematic connection of exploring "humility," which is the foundation of their conversation. They talk about their experiences as ministry leaders, biblical and theological dimensions of humility, and how their work pushes us towards specific practices to cultivate humility in our lives.Books Mentioned in this Episode:If you'd like to order any of the following books, we encourage you to do so from Hearts and Minds Books(An independent bookstore in Dallastown, PA, run by Byron and Beth Borger) Confessions of an Amateur Saint: The Christian Leader's Journey from Self-Sufficiency to Reliance on God by Mandy SmithHumility Illuminated: The Biblical Path Back to Christian Character by Dennis EdwardsRe-Enchanting the Text by Cheryl Bridges JohnThe Mythmakers: The Remarkable Fellowship of C.S.

Reformed Brotherhood | Sound Doctrine, Systematic Theology, and Brotherly Love

In this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse and Tony explore Colossians 3:18-4:1, diving deep into the transformative power of Christ in shaping Christian character and community. They discuss how the peace of Christ and the message of Christ should define the daily lives of believers, emphasizing the importance of embodying virtues such as compassion, kindness, humility, and patience. The hosts remind listeners that putting on Christ is not aspirational, but rather a reality that defines the Christian life, as believers grow into the character already granted to them through their union with Christ. The conversation moves into the practical implications of sanctification, particularly how it shapes relationships within the church and beyond. Jesse and Tony reflect on how Christians are called to handle conflict and disagreements in ways that are radically different from the world, focusing on forgiveness, love, and unity. They highlight the necessity of yielding to Christ's work in us and how this impacts our daily interactions with others, whether in the church, family, or workplace. The episode also touches on the communal responsibilities of believers, such as teaching and admonishing one another, and the role of worship in fostering unity and growth. The hosts discuss how musical worship, prayer, and scripture reading are all essential practices that both encourage and challenge believers to grow in Christlikeness. This practical and theological exploration offers listeners valuable insights into how to live out the gospel in community and reflect Christ's character in all areas of life. Key Points: The Transformative Power of Christ: The hosts explain how putting on Christ means embodying virtues like compassion, kindness, and humility, which are already part of a believer's identity in Christ. Sanctification and Relationships: Jesse and Tony discuss how sanctification impacts relationships, encouraging Christians to handle conflict with grace and forgiveness, reflecting the gospel in their behavior. The Role of Worship and Community: The importance of mutual teaching, admonishing, and worship within the church is emphasized as a way to build unity and grow in spiritual maturity. Questions for Reflection: How does understanding that Christian character is already ours in Christ shape the way we live and interact with others? In what ways can we handle conflict within the church or family in a manner that reflects the peace of Christ? How can worship, including the singing of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, help us grow in unity and spiritual maturity? Recommended Resources: The Spirit of Prayer (Free eBook) - Download here

Living as a saint means actively participating in God's kingdom work through sincere love and humble service. This involves loving without conditions, taking emotional risks, and being willing to have difficult conversations when necessary. True Christian love holds others accountable while considering them more important than ourselves, demonstrating genuine care without expecting anything in return.This lifestyle requires avoiding spiritual laziness while maintaining fervor in serving God. Christians are called to share with those in need, pursue hospitality, and live in harmony through humility. When faced with persecution, the response should be blessing rather than revenge, maintaining peace whenever possible, and focusing on eternal matters. This includes practical actions like helping enemies and viewing the world through Scripture's perspective rather than conforming to worldly patterns.Support the show

Deuteronomy 6:4-7 - Speaker: Josh MacAvoy - Many parents want to instill positive character in their children. But as Christians, our goal should be in developing character that is shaped by God and His Word. Ultimately, parenting is about intentionally fostering a “soul stamped by God,” so that both the children and the parents are shaped in their spiritual growth.

Today's conversation is about gentleness. Two weeks ago we started a series on Christian Character with an episode on humility. Today we are going to couple that with a look at gentleness. In Matthew 11:29, Jesus says, “Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” There's a link here between being humble and being gentle, but they are indeed two distinct characteristics and worth talking about separately. Now, many people may consider gentleness in the same light as soft or weak, but my guest today will put this idea on its head and show the strength that is to be found in gentleness. That guest is Buddy Owens – a teaching pastor at Saddleback Church and a fan favorite on this podcast. In this conversation, Buddy and host Jason Wieland talk about what biblical gentleness really looks like, how biblical gentleness compares to what the world says about it, the winsomeness of gentleness, how we need to be extra intentional in an election season, and much more. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland. It premiered in 2017 and now offers more than 380 episodes. Episodes release every Tuesday on your favorite podcast app and on the Saddleback Church YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/saddleback).Related Doable Discipleship EpisodesHow to Live with Humility - https://youtu.be/UHroSMEUkXUNavigating the Bible: Genesis - https://youtu.be/ddhjMfOoasALiving With Hope in the Midst of Struggle - https://youtu.be/99Nki49V0fIThinking Differently About Shame - https://youtu.be/sqKGDjBcHHcThinking About the Fruit of the Spirit - https://youtu.be/1JPaiNnbcAs

Character is never built in a classroom. Character is built in the circumstances of life.  God builds character in our lives by allowing us to experience situations where we are tempted to do the exact opposite of the character quality. Character development always involves a choice. When we make the right choice, our character grows more like Christ.  Main Points:1. We don't know why tragic circumstances happen in our lives. We don't know why accidents happen. We don't know why people receive bad news from the doctor. Life and its difficulties come to us all. Live long enough and you will experience suffering.2. God will use every circumstance of our lives to help us be more like Jesus. If you think back over your life you'll realize that you have grown through the things you suffered. 3. Christ-like character is the goal of the Christian life.  To settle for anything less is to miss the point of spiritual growth.Today's Scripture Verses:Isaiah 43:2 - “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.”Hebrews 5:8  - “Even though Jesus was God's Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered.”Romans 8:28 - “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”Romans 8:29 - “For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son.”Ephesians 4:13 - We are to “become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group
