Learn how breaking out of your comfort zone and embracing new perspectives can transform your leadership and help dismantle bias in your church.Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from Erin Devers in Ep. 282, The Cost of Bias in the Church:“One of the strategies for reducing bias is to go bigger, to widen your perspective.”THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:People tend to hold onto their biases because they find comfort and safety in the familiar.Leaders confuse discomfort with genuine danger, which prevents them from widening their perspectives.Leaders can intentionally broaden their outlook by seeking out diverse voices and saying yes to experiences that feel scary.Leaders maintain vibrancy and effectiveness by practicing humility and curiosity rather than clinging to expertise.Interacting with people from different backgrounds energizes leaders and equips them to lead change more confidently.Send me a text!

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. Rev. Shah Ahmadi with Iran Alive Ministry reminds us that the Church of Jesus Christ is one family—united around the world in the mission of sharing the Gospel. “Share the Gospel and pray and just go and say, you are my brother. You are my sister. We are from same nation. But above from that, even when I'm not from same nation, we are children of God. We are saved by grace of God. Jesus died on the cross for us. Let's do together.” That's what the body of Christ looks like—believers standing shoulder to shoulder across nations and languages, proclaiming the same Good News. Some face challenges and danger, yet they continue to share because they know that every person needs to hear what Jesus has done. We are one Church with one message and one mission: that the whole world might hear and know the saving grace of Jesus Christ. To watch the full interview with the Rev. Shah Ahmadi, visit sharelife.today.

In this bonus episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob republishes his appearance on The Libertarian Christian Podcast with host Cody Cook and fellow guest Chris Todd, a missionary and trauma therapist based in the Middle East. The conversation begins with Chris sharing firsthand accounts of working with war-torn communities in Lebanon and Syria, offering insight into the human side of conflict and the deep wounds left by war, displacement, and oppression. These personal stories set the stage for a broader discussion on how Christians should understand the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict through the lens of faith, justice, and compassion.The dialogue then turns toward theology, examining how covenant theology provides a Christ-centered framework for understanding God's promises in contrast to dispensationalist approaches. Jacob explains how the covenants throughout Scripture point toward fulfillment in Christ, while Chris highlights how misreadings of Scripture often distort political support for the modern state of Israel. Together, the panel unpacks how theology shapes Christian engagement with issues of war, nationalism, and antisemitism, calling believers back to the peace of Christ as the true hope for both Israelis and Palestinians.Audio cleaned up with the Podsworth App!https://podsworth.comUse code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Episode Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.com

In this episode of CPXL the conversation centers around intergenerational ministry, the value it brings to everyone involved, and how you can start moving towards being more intergenerational today.

In this episode of God Talk, we delve into the tumultuous journey of Gateway Church over the past year. We revisit the controversial stepping down of Robert Morris and explore revelations and scandals that have emerged. From allegations of misconduct and financial fraud to the broader implications of prosperity gospels, this episode emphasizes the notion of 'draining the swamp' not just in politics, but within religious communities. We uncover hidden layers of church governance, reflecting on moral complexities and examining the rampant materialism within megachurches. Join us for an insightful examination of power, faith, and forgiveness, and ask yourself, what truly lies beneath the surface when the swamp is drained?

Scott Zimmerman didn't join a bowling league when he moved across the country with the Navy—he joined the choir.Stacie Schubert joined a Bible study group that lasted 5 years and doubled as a Monday night dinner club and spiritual lifeline.Also, yes—there was liturgical dance. And calling cards. And a naked guy on a hike. (You'll have to listen for that one.)This week on Together 4 Good, Pastor Nate Preisinger sits down with Scott and Stacie—a married couple and longtime Bethany Lutheran members—for a deeply honest and unexpectedly hilarious conversation about what keeps them coming back to church.From youth camp mountaintop moments to the comfort of choir rehearsal, they talk about the power of spiritual routine, the beauty of multigenerational connection, and why Disciple Bible Study turned out to be the gateway to real belonging.Pastor Nate hosts the kind of conversation you wish more churches were having: real talk about doubt, community, and why church is still worth showing up for.And the answers? Let's just say, they're everything you hope church could be.Why Listen:You want to believe church can still be fun (spoiler: it can)You've had a complicated relationship with faith and want to hear from people who stuck around anywayYou like pastors who don't take themselves too seriously but still take faith seriouslyWhat You'll Hear About:Camp stories, calling cards, and the kind of friendships that started with letter writing and never really ended.Why choir is more than music—it's connection without the uniformWhat happens when Bible study turns into found familyHow church can hold grief, growth, questions, and the occasional dance videoWhy showing up still matters—even when you don't want to

Today is day 96 and we are on the Third Article of the Apostles' Creed. Today we are on the fourteenth line: “The Holy Catholic Church”. 96. In what sense is the Church “one”? The Church is one because all its members form the one Body of Christ, having “one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all” (Ephesians 4:5–6). The Church is called to embody this unity in all relationships between believers. (Psalm 133; John 17:11, 20–23; Ephesians 2:11–22; 4:2–6) We will conclude today with Prayer 4. For the Unity of All Christian People found on page 646 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019). If you would like to buy or download To Be a Christian, head to anglicanchurch.net/catechism.

When life shifts or feels uncertain, it's natural to wonder: “What's next?” In this message, Pastor William and Pastor Danny share the heart behind The Corner Church—why we exist, where we're going, and how purpose begins when we step out of our comfort zones. If you've ever longed to be part of something bigger or wondered how God could use your life, this message is an invitation to discover what He's already doing—and how you can be a part of it.

What do you do when life knocks you down? Paul and Silas were doing the right thing—helping people and sharing hope—when they were suddenly beaten and thrown into prison. But instead of giving up, they did something unexpected: they started singing. What happened next was unbelievable. This message is all about how worship can bring peace in chaos, strength in struggle, and even open doors we never thought possible. If you've ever felt trapped by your circumstances, you need to hear this. Join us in person, watch or listen!Support the show

Throughout history, the Church has served as the cornerstone of Christian faith and community. While most believers understand the value of gathering together, conflict within the church can shake even the strongest foundations. When disagreements arise, frustration often follows, leading some to step away from fellowship altogether.In Acts 15, we discover how the early church faced its first major crisis. Their response provides us with timeless wisdom for handling conflict today. As we explore this pivotal moment, we'll learn valuable principles for maintaining unity without compromising truth. Join us as we discover how one ancient church dispute can help us strengthen our fellowship today, remembering that we are truly One Church with One Mission.Support the show

Matthew 16:13-25 13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” 20 Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ. 21 From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. 22 And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This shall never happen to you.” 23 But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.” 24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

In this wonderful episode, Faith Journey Foundation board member and great friend of the show Terri Petersen speaks with her friend, Christy (pseudonym) about her church life as a active woman with children, who also happens to be divorced. As you can imagine, in a church that touts the vital importance of families, it is not always a comfortable experience when one's family is now differently configured. Christy shares powerfully about both her internal wrestlings with a change from the "plan" she had thought she'd follow for the rest of her life (and in the eternities), as well as the struggles the Church as an institution has in speaking to and including divorce women.  She is a wise, articulate, open, and insightful soul, whose words here will pierce every person's heart—man or woman, divorced or married. How should we speak to or interact with someone who is going through a divorce, or who already has one finalized? What should we say and NOT say? How can we help them feel more included and welcomed in our wards? How might Primary and YM/YW leaders tailor what they say when children of divorced parents are in their classes?  Can we learn to see these families as still whole, just different? What messaging do or should we give by the way we act around them? Might we learn to invite them to sit with us? Because of certain realities of men's ministering to single women and their families, how can men still be involved with the children, modeling for them what gospel maturity looks like? You will find discussions of all these matters, plus many others, in this episode. We highly recommend it to everyone. There is so much to learn, and in the specificity of Christy's life, it somehow feels more universally applicable. Listen in!

Titus 1:1-4

You might remember an episode last year in which a young pastor arrived at a new church and felt an immediate call to turn his empty church facility during the week into a Christian school. It was certainly a "leap" for the pastor, his wife and their older, retired congregants. Now, with one year under his belt Chris and Christine ask - "Did it work? What should people know if they want to try it? How did God provide and move in this?" WARNING: If you've been on the fence about starting or joining an upstart Christian school - Pastor Luke is likely going to convince you it's time to "Make the Leap."Follow Making the Leap on Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube.  You can also sign-up for our newsletter or send us an email hello@makingtheleappodcast.com.To learn more about the Herzog Foundation, visit HerzogFoundation.com.
