Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes:  Walking in Righteousness - Speaking the Truth in Love. (Ephesians 4: 25)Saved by Grace, United in One Body. Earlier in this letter, Paul reminded us that it is: “By grace you have been saved through faith… it is the gift of God…” (Ephesians 2:8) We are saved by grace, not by our performance. And when we trust Christ, we become part of something bigger than ourselves — the Body of Christ. We are joined to one another. We belong to one another. We grow with one another. We serve one another. That's why Paul said yesterday our purpose is “…to equip His people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up…” (Ephesians 4:12–13)The Journey of Spiritual Growth. In yesterday's study, we were given three foundational principles: 1. Put off the old self“…put off your former way of life…” (4:22)Take off the old habits, the old attitudes, the old patterns of sin — like taking off an old coat. 2. Renew your mind“…be made new in the attitude of your minds…” (4:23)Let Scripture reshape your thinking so you begin to think God's thoughts rather than simply reacting to the world around you. 3. Put on the new self“…put on the new self, created to be like God…” (4:24)Replace old vices with new virtues. Replace old habits with new patterns. Replace old ways of speaking with new ways of speaking. But now — beginning in verse 25 — Paul gets specific. He gives us five concrete examples of what spiritual growth looks like in everyday life. And over the next five episodes, we're going to take each one in turn. And the first one — the foundation of all the others — is this found in this single verse, verse 25….

Dust And Glory Episode 10: Heavy Streets Dan Walter, Senior Minister

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes:  Walking in Holiness. (Eph 4: 17-24)Some people grow up… and some people grow old. You've probably met both kinds.Some Christians grow up in Christ — they become wiser, steadier, more loving, more Christlike. Others grow old in Christ —attending church, learning the religious language, but never really changing. In this passage, Paul is urging us to be the first kind of people, those who grow up spiritually and become more like Christ. And he describes this growth using a phrase we've seen before: “Walking in righteousness.”Over the coming episodes, we're going to continue to look at the different ways Paul says we should “walk.” But today, we begin with this foundational one: Walking in righteousness… walking in holiness. So how do we grow spiritually and live righteously without becoming self‑righteous? How do we display holiness without becoming holier‑than‑thou? Paul begins to answer that in verse today's passage, Ephesians 4:17–24….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

In this special Father's Day message, Pastor Bronson Stewart sits down with Patrick Nix and NFL wide receiver Tez Johnson to share a powerful story of faith, perseverance, and family. Tez reflects on a difficult childhood marked by hardship and uncertainty, while Patrick shares how a simple act of obedience to God changed the course of both of their lives. Through moments of struggle, sacrifice, and unwavering support, their story reveals how God faithfully pursues people and works through ordinary acts of love to accomplish extraordinary things. More than a story about football, this conversation highlights the transformative power of faith, community, and spiritual fatherhood. It's an inspiring reminder that God can redeem any story and use it for His greater purpose.

This Sunday, Lisa Chayer shares a message titled Watch Your Thoughts. Our thought life plays a powerful role in shaping how we live, grow, and walk with God.

(Ephesians, Hebrews, John, and Thessalonians)Today we're returning to a couple of verses we looked at in our last episode. (Ephesians 4:11–12) And some other New Testament verses, but you might be wondering why.  Didn't we already cover this? Didn't we already talk about unity, diversity, and spiritual gifts? Yes — but now we're going to slow down and look at something far more practical:  How do we actually serve one another?How do we walk in servanthood?How do we minister to real people in real situations?Every believer has a spiritual gift. Every believer has a calling. Every believer has a ministry. The only difference is the type of gift we bring. So today, I want to lay out some general principles that apply to all pastoral ministries.

(Ephesians 4  4-16) Unity…. It's one of the most beautiful words in the Christian vocabulary — and one of the hardest to maintain. How do we keep good relationships?How do we preserve unity in our families, in our churches, and even across the worldwide body of Christ?  Because division is a disease. Division drains strength from a family. Division weakens a church that should be strong. Division distracts a fellowship from its mission and forces it to turn inward, tending its wounds instead of reaching the world. .... And if division goes untreated long enough, it can even become terminal. So, how do we create unity among such a wide diversity of people who all call themselves followers of Jesus? I believe the answers are found right here in Ephesians chapter 4….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Dust And Glory Episode 9: “Road to Life” Brenden Lang, Teaching & Residency Minister

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: The Characteristics of the Christian Life. (Overview of Chapters 4–6)Over the last few episodes, we've walked slowly and carefully through chapters 1 to 3 — the soaring theological heights of this letter. We've explored our calling, our identity, our salvation, our unity, and the immeasurable love of Christ.  We've listened to Paul pray for us — that we would be strengthened in the inner being, rooted and grounded in love, and filled with all the fullness of God. And now, as we turn the page into chapter 4, something important happens. The tone shifts. The focus shifts. The direction shifts. The first half of Ephesians tells us who we are in Christ. The second half tells us how to live because of who we are in Christ. Paul moves from doctrine to duty, from belief to behaviour, from revelation to response, but before we dive into the details of chapter 4, I want us to take a moment and look forward at the whole landscape of the second half of this letter. Because Paul is about to show us what a life shaped by the gospel actually looks like.This is where theology becomes lifestyle. This is where belief becomes behaviour. This is where the gospel moves from the head to the hands, from the heart to the home, from Sunday to Monday and every other day of the week..So today, we're going to take a bird's‑eye view of Ephesians chapters 4 to 6 — to see the shape, the flow, and the rhythm of what Paul is calling us into….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

As we move into the second half of chapter 3, Paul does something beautiful and something deeply pastoral.He prays.Not strength for their bodies.Not strong enough for their circumstances.Not a strength for their finances or their health. But strength in their inner being. This is one of the most powerful prayers in all of Paul's writings.

“These Signs Confirm The Word” from Christian Church at Minden by Greg Lee. Released: 2026. The post These Signs Confirm The Word appeared first on Christian Church at Minden.

This week on The Uncommon Good, Dr. Bud Maher flies solo while Bo Bonner continues his doctoral studies in England. His guest is Dr. Stephen Lawson, a longtime friend and newly appointed associate professor of theology at Newman University in Wichita, Kansas — a position so new he hasn't appeared on the university's website yet. Check back at newman.edu this fall to follow his work. The Stone-Campbell Movement Dr. Lawson grew up in Grayson, Kentucky, the son of two Bible college professors deeply rooted in the Stone-Campbell (restorationist) movement — a tradition that intentionally uses generic church names like "Church of Christ" or "Christian Church" to emphasize unity over denominationalism. He explains the movement's founding principle ("where the Bible speaks, we speak; where the Bible is silent, we are silent"), its surprisingly robust understanding of baptism and weekly Eucharist, and how its Biblicist roots ironically pushed many of its most serious scholars toward deeper engagement with church history. The Academic Journey From Ozark Christian College in Joplin, Missouri, to Emmanuel Christian Seminary, and finally to Saint Louis University's PhD program in historical theology, Dr. Lawson describes how immersion in the Cappadocian Fathers, Augustine, and patristic scholarship created a hunger the Stone-Campbell tradition couldn't fully satisfy. He reflects on a remarkable cohort of fellow Stone-Campbell scholars at SLU — including mutual friends Alex Giltner, Jordan Wood, and Alden Bass — many of whom have since entered the Catholic Church. Hauerwas, Peterson, and Newman Two thinkers proved pivotal: ethicist Stanley Hauerwas, whose radical ecclesiology pushed Lawson to ask serious questions about what the Church actually is, and Protestant-turned-Catholic theologian Erik Peterson (1890–1960), whose conversion story Lawson wrote his dissertation on. He was asked three times during his dissertation defense: Why aren't you Catholic? Landing the Airplane The decisive moment came when an institutional merger at Austin Graduate School of Theology — where Lawson was teaching — produced an administrator's claim that a theology degree was "basically the same thing" as a degree in marriage and family therapy. That reduction of Christianity to a subjective self-help tool made staying in a subjectivist tradition impossible. He and his wife Emily entered RCIA at St. Ignatius Martyr Church in Austin, Texas, and entered full communion with the Catholic Church. Their baptisms were recognized as valid; no rebaptism was needed. Teaching Theology Today After three years teaching at a Catholic high school in St. Louis, Dr. Lawson reflects on what really matters in the classroom. His approach shifted away from memorizing theological vocabulary toward helping students encounter Christ through texts — most notably, using Augustine's Confessions as a mirror for students to map their own spiritual geographies and key life moments. Pope Leo's Encyclical Dr. Lawson offers an early take on Magnificat Humanitas, Pope Leo's new encyclical on human dignity and artificial intelligence, describing it as a text with real, lasting impact — one that calls the Church back to the concrete, local, embodied person in an age of commodification and algorithmic control. He sees limited room for AI in theological education, where the goal is encounter, not output. Dr. Lawson's conversion essay is available through his Facebook page. Look for his published work in the Newman Studies Journal. Dr. Bud Maher teases a return visit to go deeper on the encyclical.

(Ephesians 3: 1-13)Today we come to a passage that speaks right into the heart of something every believer faces sooner or later: Discouragement. And what makes this passage so powerful is that Paul writes it from prison.He is cut off from the churches he longs to visit, living through circumstances he did not choose and cannot change, and yet he is not discouraged. In fact, he writes to the Ephesians so that they won't be discouraged on his behalf.I don't pretend to have all the answers. But today I can tell you how the Apostle Paul handled discouragement, because he faced it, he lived through it, and he wrote about it with remarkable clarity.  And to see how Paul dealt with discouragement, we only need to look at what he says here in Ephesians 3….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(Ephesians 2: 11-22)Now, as we move into the second half of this chapter, Paul does something very pastoral, very human, and very necessary. He asks a question. A question that every Christian, in every generation, needs to hear: How is your memory? Because Paul knows something we often forget:  The Christian life is not only shaped by what we believe, but by what we remember.So, in this next passage, Paul gently takes the church by the shoulders and says: “Remember.”This is a passage about identity, but it is also a passage about unity, reconciliation, and belonging. It is about the God who takes strangers and makes them citizens, who takes enemies and makes them family, who takes scattered stones and builds them into a temple.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(Eph 2: 1-10 Again)Today, we're doing something a little unusual. We're going back into the waters of Ephesians 2:1–10.  Back into one of the richest, most breathtaking passages in the entire New Testament. Because some passages of Scripture are like a shallow stream, refreshing, simple, easy to cross…. But others… others are oceans, and Ephesians 2:1–10 is such an ocean. We've already walked through this passage once, but the more you sit with these verses, the more you realise there is more here. This is a passage that refuses to be exhausted.  So today, we're going back — not because we missed something, but because Paul has given us something so rich that it deserves to be savoured again. We're going to linger, and we're going to let the text speak again, and hopefully speak deeper. So, take a breath, settle your heart, and come with me again into the deep waters of Ephesians 2:1–10. Because sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is not press on with the project but to go back and listen again to what God has already said.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(Ephesians 2: 1–10)If you've been following along, you'll know that the last few episodes have taken us up the mountain with Paul. We've stood with him as he blessed God for every spiritual blessing in Christ. We've listened as he prayed that the eyes of our hearts would be opened. We've explored the hope, the inheritance, and the power that belong to every believer. But today… He takes us down the mountain, back into the valley of human experience, back into the story of who we once were, back into the darkness from which God rescued us.  Because before you can appreciate the height of God's grace, you must understand the depth from which He lifted you. Ephesians 2:1–10 is one of the most breathtaking passages in the entire New Testament. It is the gospel in ten verses. It is the Christian story in miniature. It is your testimony and mine, told with clarity, honesty, and astonishing beauty. This passage will tell us who we were, what God has done, and who we are now. So, take a breath. Settle your heart. And let's step together into one of the greatest passages ever written.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: A Church Worth Thanking God For. (Ephesians 1: 15-23)When Paul reaches verse 15 of Ephesians 1, something beautiful happens. He pauses. He reflects. And he gives thanks. He gives thanks, not for buildings, not for finance, not for programmes, and not for influence. He gives thanks for people — for their faith in Christ and their love for all God's people. These two qualities, Paul says, are the unmistakable marks of a true church. Not cleverness. Not the charisma of the leader. Not size. Not even success.... But faith and love.Faith in the Lord Jesus — a deep, living trust.And Love for God's people, a practical, sacrificial affection.Because Paul knows something we often forget. That you cannot love Christ without loving people, you cannot love people without being involved with them. You cannot grow in faith without other Christian believers.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

In Week 3 of the Good Shepherd series, Pastor Curt Taylor explores one of the most challenging promises in Psalm 23: that even when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we are not alone. Looking at the reality of suffering, Curt reminds us that following God does not guarantee a life free from pain, but it does guarantee the presence of the Good Shepherd in every season. Through biblical insight and personal testimony, he shows how life's deepest valleys can either push us away from God or draw us closer to Him. This message offers hope to anyone facing grief, hardship, uncertainty, or loss by pointing to a Shepherd who walks beside us and comforts us. Ultimately, we are reminded that our suffering may shape part of our story, but our identity is found in Christ and His presence with us.

We often look at the state of our nation and see only political battles or shifting social trends. But what if the source of our cultural crisis is far older and more sinister than we realize? In this challenging and eye-opening episode, Pastor Jack King examines the spiritual underpinnings of the modern era through the lens of Jonathan Cahn's book, The Return of the Gods. -- We discuss why the Christian Church is in decline and how a watered-down message has left a void in our society. -- We explore the profound spiritual implications of removing prayer and God's Word from our public institutions. -- We examine how ancient spiritual entities are reasserting their influence on our culture, particularly in targeting the identity and future of our young people. -- We look at the history of these "gods" and how their influence manifests in today's mainstream society, shifting values and morality in ways that were once unthinkable. -- We conclude with a powerful reminder that while these forces may seem overwhelming, the power of Jesus Christ is greater, and He is the only true anchor for our souls in these perilous times.

(Ephesians 1: 3-14)Why do people go to church?It's a question we rarely ask out loud, but it sits quietly beneath the surface of every church on every Sunday morning.Some people go because they always have, and their parents went. Some go because they feel they ought to. Some go because they're lonely and some go because they're hurting.Some go because they're hungry, not for food, but for meaning, for hope, for God.…. And some — if we're honest — aren't entirely sure why they go at all.But Paul, in Ephesians 1:3–14, gives us an answer that is far deeper, far richer, far more beautiful than any of those surface‑level reasons. He tells us that the reason we gather, the reason we worship, the reason we belong to a church at all… is because God has done something astonishing for us in Christ.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Sunday Service, May 31st 2 Samuel 13:23 - 14:33 Lead Pastor Tim Davis @ Christ The King Church. A non-denominational Christian Church located in Canby, OR. (www.ctkcanby.com)

We picture Rome falling to barbarians — warriors crashing through marble gates, fire in the streets, civilization ending in a single dramatic moment. That's the myth. The reality is quieter and worse.In 378 AD, an emperor named Valens rode into a valley outside Adrianople with two-thirds of the Eastern Roman army. By sunset he was dead, his army was destroyed, and Rome's ability to defend its own territory was gone.The man who inherited what was left — a Spanish general named Theodosius — made a decision no Roman emperor had ever made before. He didn't rebuild the border. He dissolved it.In 382 AD, Theodosius signed a treaty that settled the Goths inside Roman territory as a semi-autonomous, armed, self-governing nation. Not outside the empire anymore. Inside it. The Danube stopped being the hard edge of Roman civilization. It became an administrative line that people crossed under negotiated terms.Then in 380, the Edict of Thessalonica made Nicene Christianity the sole legal religion of the empire. Every other form of worship became illegal. The pagan temples were closed, their assets confiscated, and that wealth moved — most of it to the Christian Church, which suddenly became one of the largest institutional landowners in Rome.The currency kept failing. The treasury kept hemorrhaging. The army kept becoming more dependent on Gothic mercenaries. Theodosius held it together for sixteen years through personal competence — and when he died in 395, the empire split in two and never reunified.This is the autopsy of how Rome's last unified emperor turned military defeat into managed surrender. Theodosius didn't destroy Rome. He was probably the last person capable of slowing its collapse at all. But the choices he made guaranteed that when he was gone, the cracks he had managed would become the fault lines along which the empire permanently split apart.Collapse doesn't begin when systems stop functioning. Collapse begins when systems stop solving problems and start managing them instead.00:00 — Rome Didn't Fall to Barbarians02:16 — Welcome to The Roman Pattern02:41 — Adrianople: The Autopsy04:06 — The Refugee Crisis Rome Broke06:51 — Why Valens Couldn't Wait08:28 — Theodosius Takes Power09:57 — The Treaty That Dissolved the Border12:21 — The Edict of Thessalonica15:55 — The Monetary Spiral18:58 — Two Civil Wars with Gothic Armies21:06 — 395: The Empire Splits23:14 — The Pattern Closes25:43 — When Management Replaces Restoration
