“What if the pastor who put you under discipline has died? Can you still be forgiven?”That's just one of the hard-hitting questions tackled in this raw and riveting panel discussion recorded live in Kampala, Uganda. With honesty, insight, and pastoral clarity, three Ugandan leaders dig deep into the challenges and opportunities of Christian mentorship in today's church.From spiritual fatherhood in West African contexts to generational curses, from the fear of feedback to the gift of correction, the conversation is bold, biblical, and deeply rooted in experience.In this episode, you'll hear:What intentional and relational mentorship looks like in real churchesWhy good theology isn't enough if the lifestyle doesn't matchHow to begin a mentoring relationship—and why “specific asks” matterCan someone be mentored by books alone?How to recover from spiritual wounds—even when the person who hurt you is goneWho has the right to critique your sermon (and how to hear them without ego)A pastoral response to teachings on generational cursesWhere to give your tithe, and why it's more than just a financial questionMeet the Panel:Pastor Kyomuhuendo Nicholas – leads Calvary Chapel Fort Portal with a heart for discipleship and spiritual formation.Dr. Juvintine Emuku – A medical doctor who also serves at Calvary Chapel Soroti, bringing theological depth and local insight to pastoral ministry.Rev. Raymond L.

It's pride month again yet the culture seems to be moving away from supporting this wickedness. The emperor has no clothes and is dancing in the street in front of your children. Memes win, again.Show Notes:* Opening Segment: Biblical Reference and Church Discipline (00:00:00 - 00:00:25)* The episode begins with a question about what the Apostle Paul instructed regarding unrepentant believers in the church.* Answer: Paul advised to "kick them out" and "give them up to Satan" so they might be saved, referencing 1 Corinthians 5:5.* The hosts clarify this is not about mocking individuals but addressing unrepentant sin within the church.* Pride Month Discussion and Statistics (00:00:25 - 00:12:44)* The hosts introduce the episode as occurring during Pride Month, humorously sipping Bud Light Lime in jest.* They present a series of statistics labeled as "homo facts" to critique the lifestyle associated with the LGBTQ+ community, including:* Lesbian Relationships: 24-90% of lesbians report physical abuse by partners, higher than in heterosexual relationships.* HIV Prevalence: Gay men are 60 times more likely to have HIV than straight men; one in eight gay men in London have HIV; transsexuals are 50 times more likely to have HIV globally.* Sexual Partners: 25% of gay men in America have had over 1,000 partners; 43% have had over 500; 79% of homosexual men say half their partners are strangers.* Mental Health and Suicide: Homosexuals are more likely to experience anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and suicide; 41% of transsexuals have attempted suicide.* Health Risks: Gay men have a 20-year lower life expectancy; lesbians have a 10-year lower life expectancy; active homosexual men are 17 times more likely to have anal cancer.* Other Stats: 99.8% of lesbian, gay, or bisexual teens change their sexual orientation within 13 years; 53% of mothers of transsexual children have borderline personality disorder; gay men account for 63% of U.S. syphilis cases despite being 1.65% of the population.* The hosts attribute these issues to environmental factors (e.g., absent or poor father figures, sexual abuse) rather than being "born gay."* They reference Romans 1 to support their view that homosexuality is a sin and argue that a straight lifestyle leads to a safer, more wholesome life.* Cultural Commentary and "Gay Fatigue" (00:12:44 - 00:15:41)* The hosts note a societal shift, observing increased mockery of Pride flags and events online, suggesting a growing "homo fatigue."* They criticize Disney for replacing the American flag with a Pride flag at Magic Kingdom during June, speculating it's to cater to "Disney adults" due to low birth rates.* Anecdotes about public backlash, such as negative comments on a Cincinnati post about raising a Pride flag and a sarcastic comment on an Orlando Pride run event.* Biblical Mockery and Calling Out Sin (00:15:41 - 00:29:01)* The hosts discuss the role of mockery in addressing pride and sin, referencing Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19) as the biblical origin of the term "sodomy."* They argue that affirming sinful lifestyles (e.g., homosexuality, cohabitation outside marriage) is not loving and that Christians must call people to repentance.* Personal anecdotes are shared, such as the hosts' experiences with family members (e.g., a lesbian aunt who was mocked but not affirmed, with one getting saved before death).* They emphasize that mockery should not be personal but can be a tool to challenge pride, contrasting it with affirmation that enables sin.* Pop Culture and Media Critique (00:29:01 - 01:34:12)* Doctor Who Discussion (01:17:23 - 01:20:24): The hosts critique the recent Doctor Who reboot, noting low ratings (120,000 viewers on BBC) and the controversial transformation of the Doctor into Rose Tyler, a former companion. They view it as a ratings grab and a pandering move.* Olympics Controversy (01:20:24 - 01:24:51): Discussion of a male boxer competing in women's boxing at the Paris Olympics, despite prior evidence of male chromosomes, highlighting unfairness and societal gaslighting.* Superman and Comic Book Talk (01:24:51 - 01:33:34): Speculation about the upcoming Superman movie and the potential death of Krypto the dog. The hosts nerd out over DC and Marvel, comparing their strengths (DC's deep characters vs. Marvel's broader stories) and praising specific comics like Red Son, Hush, and Court of Owls.* Political Commentary: Benjamin Netanyahu (01:34:12 - 01:39:45)* The hosts discuss Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ongoing corruption trial since 2020, noting he took the stand on June 6, 2025.* They reveal his birth name, Benzion Milikowski, and note his family's immigration from Poland, questioning the name change to “Hebrewize” it as potentially misleading.* They speculate about the October 7th attack as an inside job to bolster Netanyahu's image, comparing it to 9/11, and suggest his trial indicates waning public support in Israel.* Final Thoughts and Political Critique (01:39:45 - 01:46:16)* Good Trump, Bad Trump: The hosts praise Trump for backing away from unconditional support for Israel and for speaking out against fearmongering over a new COVID variant. However, they criticize him for not taking a strong stand against COVID measures four years earlier, calling politicians “a day late and a dollar short.”* Republican Inaction: Frustration with Republicans who promise action but do nothing once in office.* Cultural Reflection: The world is described as “fake and gay,” urging listeners to seek truth in Christ rather than worldly affirmation.* Christian Perspective on Homosexuality: The hosts address claims that one can be a practicing homosexual and a born-again Christian, arguing that true faith involves conviction and repentance from sin, not affirmation of a sinful lifestyle.* Closing Prayer and Verse (01:46:16 - 01:47:40)* Verse of the Night: 1 Peter 5:7 – “Casting all your care upon him [Jesus], for he cares for you.”* Prayer (Led by Dusty): Thanks God for the opportunity to discuss worldly issues, acknowledges the fallen nature of the world, and praises Jesus for His sacrifice.* Call to Action: Encourages listeners to like, share, subscribe, and comment at kingsplaining.com to support the podcast.Key Themes* Biblical Authority: The hosts ground their critique of Pride Month and societal trends in scripture, particularly Paul's teachings and the story of Sodom and Gomorrah.* Cultural Decline: They express frustration with what they see as moral and cultural decay, particularly in media and politics, labeling it “fake and gay.”* Call to Repentance: Emphasizes the need for Christians to confront sin lovingly but firmly, rejecting affirmation of lifestyles they believe are sinful.* Humor and Mockery: Uses humor and satire to challenge societal norms, while acknowledging the need for personal relationships to be handled with care.* Political Skepticism: Critiques both domestic and international political figures, expressing distrust in leaders like Netanyahu and disappointment in Republican inaction.Notable Quotes* “We didn't bring a gay person onto the show to mock them ruthlessly. And we wouldn't if they were on the show.” (00:26:01)* “Love is not destructive.” (01:46:04)* “Cast it all on Jesus, even in this fake and gay world.” (01:46:27)* “We're not gay like Fox News. We actually are fair and balanced.” (01:39:54)Additional Notes* The podcast is self-described as the “home of the Rube Empire,” with a mission to serve Christ Jesus and offer a Christian, conservative perspective.* The hosts promote their website, kingsplaining.com, for merchandise (e.g., shirts) and listener engagement.* The episode includes significant use of provocative language and humor, which may be offensive to some listeners but aligns with the podcast's irreverent style.* The hosts express a mix of serious theological points and playful banter, particularly in the comic book discussion, showing their multifaceted interests.Listen to the Episode: Available at kingsplaining.com.Support the Show: Like, share, subscribe, and comment to help grow the Rube Empire!

In this episode, Joyce shares her story of involvement in a PCA church in Florida and how her experience of marriage, faith, and community unfolded over more than a decade. She describes the early support her family received, her deep investment in church life, and how that shifted when she began raising concerns about her marriage. Joyce outlines the church's response, her efforts to seek counseling, the process of pursuing divorce, and the consequences that followed, including church discipline. This episode examines how systems designed for accountability can fail those in crisis and how theological frameworks can impact the choices survivors feel they're allowed to make. An update on Joyce's situation is shared at the end of the episode.Support the show

Truth that Transforms (Cornerstone Community Church, Atascadero)
Main point: 1 Corinthians 5:1-13 provides five reasons Christians must lovingly confront unrepentant sin through church discipline to preserve the integrity of the local church and to rescue the sinner's soul.
1 Corinthians 5:9-13 The church is responsible for judging those inside the church.
The internet is a balkanization of the populace: Everybody finds those they want to listen to. It is exceedingly difficult to teach somebody whose principal input in his life is through the internet. With a flesh-and-blood pastor, you at least can see his sins, his wife, and his children. Generally, with a pastor, you can't escape his bad smells, but on the internet, everything and everyone is perfect.The most difficult thing you do in ministry is to call your own congregation to repentance. It is easy to talk about the sins of people outside the church, but exceedingly costly to do so to those within the church. Your job is on the line. A godly church will love you for that. But there are a lot of bad congregations—those congregations that like their ears tickled. We should love our pastors when they make us angry with their helpfulness.Yet, if pastors will preach to their congregations, their congregations will lead the world. It is not until we are challenged to submit to Scripture ourselves that we will be salt and light in the world. If there is going to be a Biblical church, the most important thing to do is to keep its discipline vivified. But we'd much rather spend our time fighting people who are opposed to Christianity. NETTR protects the "constituents," and casts stones at the world.***Mentioned in the episode...From Melville's Moby Dick, chapter 8, "The Pulpit": "What could be more full of meaning?- for the pulpit is ever this earth's foremost part; all the rest comes in its rear; the pulpit leads the world. From thence it is the storm of God's quick wrath is first descried, and the bow must bear the earliest brunt. From thence it is the God of breezes fair or foul is first invoked for favorable winds. Yes, the world's a ship on its passage out, and not a voyage complete; and the pulpit is its prow."Fundamentalism and American Culture by George MarsdenC.S. Lewis, from The Last Battle: "By mixing a little truth with it, they had made their lie far stronger."Robert Owen: "All the world is queer, save thee and me, and even thou art a little queer."***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

In this episode of Cogitations, Tony Bruin confronts the confusion between obedience and legalism. Drawing from Matthew 18 and 1 Corinthians 5, he lays out God's revealed system for church discipline and warns against the cultural influences—feminism, emotionalism, and therapeutic softness—that have led many churches to neglect it. He addresses the creeping entitlement behind objections to “enforcement” and defends the authority of Scripture against modern spiritual subjectivism. Faithfulness demands courage. Obedience is not legalism. Church discipline is not cruelty—it is love in action. This is a wake-up call to churches that have fallen silent out of fear of backlash or discomfort. If the church will not act on what God commands, then it ceases to be the church.
1 Corinthians 5:6-8 Unrepentant sin affects the church that Christ died for.
Unhappy, Unheard, Uncorrected: When Churches Fail Women by Telling Them What They Want to Hear
1 Corinthians 5:3-5 The motive of church discipline is the salvation of our souls at the Lord's return.
Today, we're discussing the recent controversy surrounding Shiloh Hendrix, who called a black child a racial slur at a playground instead of taking the concern to the child's parents. This behavior is not only unacceptable—it's unchristian. As followers of Christ, we are called to be above reproach (1 Timothy 3:2), especially when dealing with the next generation. God will not judge us by our skin color, so why are we so quick to judge others by theirs? We can simultaneously be aware of the statistics about certain cultures within particular races, and realize that this is not how we handle those problems. We'll explore the biblical approach to conflict resolution. When there's a problem with a child's behavior, the godly route is to speak directly with their parents—not to attack the child. Christians must hold one another accountable. --https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee
We pick up where we left off in Matthew, and Jesusin the context of teaching us to be like children, and how God cares for his childrenhe addresses what happens when children in God's family sin against one another. How should that be handled? We dive into the famous "church discipline" passage, which really could be deemed addressing the issue of church family love, when sin is present. (Due to technical difficulties, the first handful of minutes of the message were cut off)
1 Corinthians 5:1-2 Church discipline is a means of grace for preserving God's people.
Matthew 18:15-20
