Dave Rich examines virtue ethics within Christian teaching, contrasting secular approaches with biblical principles. While godless virtue ethics lacks authority and struggles with practical guidance, Christian virtue ethics finds its foundation in God's character and Christ's perfect example. Scripture emphasizes moral excellence through passages such as 2 Peter 1:3-8, which call believers to cultivate virtues including knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, and love.Virtue ethics complements deontological commands and teleological purposes in comprehensive Christian ethics. Believers imitate Christ as the perfect exemplar, bearing God's image through godly attributes that produce righteous actions, for a good tree bears good fruit. ★ Support this podcast ★

We try to emphasize that our character is the condition of our heart, while our conduct is the outward expression of it. God works within believers to develop these traits, while prayer shapes our character and conduct. We stress the need for all believers to live holy lives, follow Christ's example, and be obedient to God's guidance.

Dr. Patrick explores how education has shifted from forming virtue to producing information, how “evidence-based” medicine often becomes “authority-based,” and why true learning requires humility, diligent study, and a willingness to repent.

In this sermon, Pastor Devin explores the Christian principle of humility through Philippians 2:5-11. He emphasizes that humility is not natural to the human condition, which tends toward pride and self-focus. The pastor explains that Jesus exemplified perfect humility by emptying himself, taking the form of a servant, and submitting to death on a cross despite being fully God. This humility led to his exaltation by God.Humility is not natural to humans but is essential for Christians as it was exemplified by Jesus throughout His life and death.True humility begins in the heart as an inner disposition, not just outward actions or a soft exterior.Jesus, though fully God, emptied Himself by taking the form of a servant and submitting to death on a cross.In God's upside-down kingdom, the way up is down - those who humble themselves will be exalted by God at the proper time.Humility requires actively crucifying pride and recognizing that everything we have comes from God.Support the show

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.

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.
