By Robert Dick - This focused and practical message, given at the NW Men's Weekend in Seabeck, WA, explores Ephesians 4:11–12 to clarify the biblical role of a pastor as both shepherd and teacher. Drawing from a foundational memo written in 1994, Mr. Dick explains how true spiritual leadership isn't about doing all

Episode Summary: (produced with new custom CastMagic prompt inside the tool)In this episode, Kenny Jahng, editor in chief of Church Tech Today explores a thought-provoking question circulating in ministry circles: Should artificial intelligence take on roles that were traditionally seen as the work of the Holy Spirit? Kenny revisits historical shifts in church technology—from microphones to Bible translation and radio—addressing modern fears and discernments around AI in the church. Tune in to hear how ministry leaders can ask better questions, engage new tools faithfully, and create more space for spiritual fruit, rather than just fearing innovation. This discussion provides practical reflection points to help pastors and church staff lead their communities into the digital age with wisdom and boldness.In This Episode, You'll Learn:How to assess if your use of AI is complementing or competing with the Holy Spirit's workHistorical examples of technology in the church—from microphones to Roman roads—that parallel today's AI debatesWhy initial fears about new tech aren't necessarily wrong, but shouldn't be the final wordHow AI is currently being used in Bible translation and gospel outreach around the worldThe importance of reframing the question from “Is AI replacing the Spirit?” to “Does this help me cooperate more closely with the Spirit?”Practical criteria to ensure technology serves ministry without compromising gospel valuesSteps for church leaders to become facilitators of responsible AI conversations in their own communitiesKey Quotes:“It isn't that first immediate reaction of hesitation to AI is wrong. I do think it reminds us that not everything new is necessarily good.” — Kenny Jahng“The upside is that technology and AI can create conditions where the fruit [of the Spirit] can actually flourish more fully. And that's good news.” — Kenny Jahng“God's spirit is not threatened by AI tools. Because, the mission isn't confined by the methods of the past.” — Kenny Jahng“Your call today is not to become an AI expert. Your call today is to become the conversation facilitator about AI in whatever environment and community that you live in.” — Kenny JahngLinks & Resources Mentioned:Missional.AI (conference/community, referenced) - https://missional.ai/Wycliffe.org (Bible translation ministry) - https://wycliffe.org/SeedCompany.com (Bible translation ministry) - https://seedcompany.com/AI for Church Leaders & Pastors Facebook Group (community for pastors and staff) About the Church Tech Today PodcastThe Church Tech Today Podcast helps pastors, church staff, and ministry leaders navigate the intersection of faith and technology with confidence.

The global church is growing exponentially, but traditional training models are inadequate and inaccessible to emerging leaders. With less than 10% of global church leaders having received any formal theological education, Rich explains how Global Action uses competency-based theological education (CBTE) to meet this urgent need—offering a nine-month, contextually relevant curriculum that trains pastors to disciple others and lead their communities well.In this episode of The Mission Matters podcast, host Matthew Ellison is joined by Rich Griffith of Global Action for a compelling conversation about equipping pastors and ministry leaders around the world. Rich passionately describes the transformational impact he's witnessed—pastors weeping with joy upon receiving a certificate, because for the first time, they feel equipped and recognized to carry out God's call.Learn more at globalaction.com.As Chief Development Officer of Global Action, Rich's role involves building strong relationships with donors and developing church partnerships. For the past 20 years, Rich has served as an associate pastor at three different US churches. He is passionate about Jesus Christ and desires to contagiously engage others in the biblical mandate to “be His Witnesses.” Rich loves how God is not only transforming hearts around the world, but also calling North Americans to step out of their comfort zones and into God's larger plan.Prior to Rich's pastorate, Rich played seven years in the NFL as a tight end and long snapper for the New England Patriots and the Jacksonville Jaguars.  During his athletic career, he was voted Fellowship of Christian Athletes' Athlete of the Year in 1995, and was nominated for the NFL's True Value Man of the Year in 1996 and for the Byron White Humanitarian Award in 1997.Rich has been married to his wife Keri for over 30 years, and they have four adult children. Rich resides in Phoenix, Arizona.The Mission Matters Podcast is a place to talk about the importance of our Mission as Christians. The Mission Matters is a partnership of Missio Nexus and Sixteen:Fifteen, who have a shared passion to mobilize God's people to be a part of His mission.

What parts of the world are the most challenging for believers today? How has the relative comfort of American Christianity impacted spiritual growth, compared to communities experiencing persecution? What habits could American Christian adopt to more regularly remember and support our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world? We'll answer these questions and more with our guest, Brian Orme, CEO of Global Christian Relief. Brian Orme is CEO of Global Christian Relief, a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the persecuted church around the world. He founded ChurchLeaders.com, served as Senior Editor at Outreach magazine, and spent over a decade in pastoral ministry—equipping churches for both local and global impact. Join us for ANCHORED: A Conference for Pastors, Church Leaders and the Community June 9-11, 2025.

Why would a pastor write a theological book on exercise? Would Jesus exercise if he were here bodily today? What does the Bible say about exercise and physical activity? And are Christians sinning if they don't exercise? These are a few of the questions Sean and Scott explore with pastor David Mathis, author of the new book A Little Theology of Exercise. David is senior teacher and executive editor of desiringGod.org, pastor at Cities Church (Saint Paul), and adjunct professor for Bethlehem College & Seminary (Minneapolis). He is author of ‘Habits of Grace: Enjoying Jesus through the Spiritual Disciplines.' His articles and messages are available online at desiringGod.org/mathis.

The pastors' wives virtually sit down with mental health advocate, speaker, and author of Jesus and Therapy, Tabitha Yates. Tabitha bravely shares her story of growing up in an abusive home, navigating spiritual abuse, and battling deep depression from a young age. Labeled “rebellious” by toxic church leaders when she was actually struggling, Tabitha opens up about how the church often got it wrong—and how therapy helped her begin to heal.She shares about the hard work of deconstructing her faith, separating Jesus from harmful church experiences, and finding freedom in forgiveness. She also points out the red flags of spiritual abuse, the importance of healthy church leadership, and her heart for helping others find support, especially when faith and mental health collide.This one's for church leaders and anyone who's been hurt by the church, felt misunderstood, or just needs to know they're not alone.Follow along with Tabitha:Facebook: The Redeemed Mama-Tabitha YatesInstagram: @tabitha_yates_authorTo purchase the BOOK, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/book⁠⁠To shop our MERCH, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/shop⁠⁠Want to support the Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast ministry?

Along the way, he also explores an important reflection for every believer: Are you working for God, or resting with Him? This conversation will encourage you to realign your heart, renew your purpose, and reevaluate the true source of your talent.  Watch the full episode availble on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ9_QFEmjbY&t=1s

From 2008 to 2014, the Nones (those who have no religious affiliation) were the fastest-growing demographic segment in the nation. They are no longer growing. In fact, they are declining slightly. Here are five major implications for churches. The post The Nones Are Rising No More: 5 Things Church Leaders Need to Know appeared first on Church Answers.

He received a bachelor's degree in Psychology from BYU and masters and doctoral degrees in Family Social Science from the University of Minnesota. Brian's research generally focuses on how adolescents, young adults, and adults move toward and form long-term committed relationships, and has been widely cited in the media.

Links Wheatley Institute research reports Addressing Pornography Share your thoughts in the Leading Saints community Transcript coming soon Get 14-day access to the Core Leader Library Highlights Kurt and Brian discuss the complexities of pornography use within religious contexts. Brian emphasizes that young adults will encounter pornography, often leading to shame and guilt. He highlights the importance of understanding the motivations behind pornography use, which can range from curiosity to emotional coping mechanisms. Brian also addresses the stigma surrounding addiction labels. He explains that only about 10% of users experience compulsive behavior, while many others face problematic use. Church leaders should focus on creating a safe environment for youth to discuss these issues. By asking questions about triggers and providing coping strategies, leaders can help youth navigate their experiences. Brian encourages a balanced approach to discussing pornography, emphasizing hope, understanding, and the potential for growth through repentance. 03:35 - Brian Willoughby's Expertise in Pornography Research 04:26 - Overview of BYU and the Wheatley Institute 05:57 - Research Impact on Policy and Society 06:57 - Teaching Future Therapists and Family Studies 07:37 - The Stigma of Pornography in Religious Contexts 08:50 - Understanding the Broader Impact of Pornography 09:51 - Meta-Analyses and Key Findings on Pornography 11:38 - The Concept of Addiction and Compulsive Behavior 12:58 - Potential for DSM Inclusion of Hypersexual Disorder 13:47 - Brain Chemistry and Pornography Use 15:29 - Distinction Between Addictive and Problematic Use 17:34 - Scripting Expectations from Pornography 19:24 - Social Media and Its Impact on Mental Health 20:34 - The Need for Open Conversations About Pornography 21:09 - The Role of Church Leaders in Addressing Pornography 22:13 - The Importance of Avoiding Labels of Addiction 23:47 - Understanding Youth Experiences with Pornography 25:56 - The Normative Context of Pornography Use 27:06 - Creating Positive Conversations Around Pornography 28:51 - The Role of Fear and Anxiety in Youth Discussions 30:05 - Normalizing Sin and Repentance 31:04 - Distinction Between Guilt and Shame 34:02 - Motivating Youth Through Guilt vs. Shame 36:57 - The Importance of Understanding Triggers 39:11 - Building Coping Skills for Youth 41:27 - Final Thoughts on Support and Guidance The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.
