What does it say about the state of the evangelical church that 83 percent of women's ministry leaders are not compensated? That's the question that Russell Moore and Jen Wilkin, an author and Bible teacher, pose at the beginning of their conversation on this episode. Wilkin, who spent most of her years leading women's ministry in a volunteer capacity, talks about how the fifth commandment to honor our parents prompted her to grow more curious about how the church treats its mothers. Wilkin and Moore discuss how churches can better value women as leaders, staff members, and congregants. They consider the challenge of being one of the only women on a church leadership team as well as the pros and cons of single-gender ministries. Wilkin and Moore explore the importance of encouraging biblical literacy and teaching theology within the local church. And they consider what it means that, as Wilkin says, “all theology is autobiography.” Resources mentioned in this episode include: You Are a Theologian, An Invitation to Know and Love God Well by Jen Wilkin and J.T.

Doug Logan was running a barbershop in Patterson, New Jersey when he met Jesus. Doug, who is black, quickly married his girlfriend Angel, who is white. Within days, he was preaching on the streets to the homeless. In the twenty-five years since, their interracial marriage has been a kind of proving ground for the experience of racial tensions that have come along with being black and Reformed, both in majority white and in majority non-white contexts. That included serving at a historic, majority-white Presbyterian church in Philadelphia and planting a church in Camden, New Jersey. Now, Doug serves as the Associate Director of Acts 29 and the president of Grimké Seminary, where he hopes to equip more pastors like him to bring new expressions of Reformed theology to the urban context. Listen in as he shares his story, his passion for the gospel, and his vision for racial reconciliation at the foot of the cross.

Ross Mason’s work has spanned crossed the country and crossed the globe, from Moscow to Silicon Valley, and back to Georgia, where he’s from originally. A lifelong adventurer, he loved climbing, diving, competing in triathlons, and was even certified as a NASCAR driver. In 2007, even after he suffered a C6 spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed from the neck down, that adventurous spirit wasn’t hindered by his paralysis. If anything, it propelled him to look more determinedly for ways to express that spirit for his own good, and for the good of the world. In the years since, he’s been part of healthcare innovations that are revolutionizing care for people – like his own injury – often find themselves staring at a broken healthcare system and looking for help.

A short drive south of Cincinnati, OH, lie two well-funded, well-executed museums dedicated to the telling of biblical "history." The Creation Museum and the Ark Experience came about through Answers in Genesis, a Christian Apologetics organization, and its founder and CEO, Ken Ham. While the modern science-based community always found fault in these propaganda factories' notions about the age of the earth (6000 years), and the theory of evolution (it's wrong) -- among myriad other beliefs -- the Ark Encounter brought a new layer of controversy to the table when it was granted land, cash, and tax kickbacks by local government and the state of Kentucky at taxpayers expense. A documentary called We Believe in Dinosaurs looks at some of the issues surrounding these facilities through the eyes of both believers and skeptics. Joining Jim Underdown on this episode of Point of Inquiry are Rob Boston, Communications Director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, Dan Phelps, President of the Kentucky Paleontological Society, and Monica Long Ross, one of the co-directors of We Believe in Dinosaurs.

This week Kyle talks to Chris and Carolyn Heinz about the faithfulness of God during difficult circumstances. “I Say to Myself” is a part of the Lamentation series Kyle has been preaching. Kyle explores what it is like for people to find beauty in the redeeming work of God in their lives, and challenges believers to trust that God’s mercies are new every morning. In 2012 Chris and Carolyn reached a breaking point in their marriage. Chris was overcome by his addiction to alcohol and prescription medication and was hiding it from Carolyn. It wasn’t until Chris lost his high-paying job in Los Angeles, where they were living at the time, that Carolyn saw how Chris’ addiction had escalated. Carolyn told Chris that she would only remain married to him if he were willing to attend church with her. They went to church the very next day and continued going. Their story is about healing and the redeeming work of God to restore and make new what was once broken.

This week Kyle talks to Jana Robey about the phrase, “I Call to Mind” from Lamentations 3. “Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope”. Despite affliction we can call upon and find our hope in the everlasting love of our heavenly father. Kyle has known Jana and her family since she was a kindergartener in class with his daughter. Jana has shown an outward joy in spite of a rare cancer diagnosis in her spine at the age of 15. Enduring 37 radiation treatments as well as chemotherapy, Jana managed to focus on the love and support of friends and family and the incredible mercy of God. Jana has written worship songs about her experience and continues to place her trust in Christ amidst her hardship. “I Call to Mind” is a reminder to hope in the things that are yet to come.

Continuing our Mantra Series, this week’s episode looks at the mantra “Empty the Jar.” Kyle challenges listeners to be engaged where God is calling them with compassion and love. He looks to Luke 7:36 as an example where we see Jesus’ compassion for the woman anointing his feet. On this episode, Kyle talks to Jeanne Allert, founder of The Samaritan Women, a Baltimore nonprofit organization that provides restorative care for victims of sex trafficking. Jeanne talks about her personal mantra being from Luke 12:48; To whom much is given, much is expected. Jeanne was led by the Holy Spirit to do something after meeting a woman by the name of Heather who shared how she had been discarded on the streets of Baltimore by her mother’s ex-boyfriend. Kyle encourages believers to set aside judgement as Jesus did, be compassionate as Jesus was and to be “extravagantly generous” to what God is calling us to as we “Empty the Jar”.

On this episode of the Pastor's Collective, Greg Surrat talks to Brad Cooper and Shane Duffey from Newspring Church in Anderson, South Carolina. Newspring is a multisite church that spans across the state of South Carolina and was founded by Perry Noble. Greg talks to Brad and Shane about the topic of transition within the church. What it looks like to transition graciously and how to face challenges with honor when transition occurs unexpectedly. Brad and Shane offer other pastors wise counsel that begins with being proactive about creating a plan of succession, seeking the Holy Spirit in unity and communicating with the church in transparency. Brad Cooper and Shane Duffey along with Michael Mullikin and Howard Frist stepped into leadership roles at Newspring Church when founding Pastor Perry Noble stepped down from his position. They looked to Acts 15 for guidance during the transition and sought unity together in order to lead their church forward. The Pastors Collective is a production of Narrativo.

Continuing our Mantra Series, this week’s episode looks at the mantra “Grip the Plow.” With this idea, we’re challenging believers to get their hands into ministry for the Kingdom. In particular, we’re going to revisit the ministry of Tony and Kim Cash, who you may remember from episode 6 of season 1. On that episode, we heard about how God saved Tony from a life of violent crime and called him to be a missionary – a disciple who makes disciples. We also heard how Tony brought he and Kim together to be partners in ministry. On this episode, we’ll hear about what God has done since then through them. Their ministry in the prison system has led to more than 140 baptisms, many of which are the result of recent converts who’ve shared the gospel with others and produced second, third, and fourth generation Christians. Their testimony is a powerful and encouraging picture of what it means to “Grip the Plow.” Learn more about the Cash’s ministry at www.tonyandkimcash.com Credits: One at a time is a production of Narrativo.

Continuing with our series of Mantras, in this episode Kyle explores what it means to "Wreck the Roof," reflecting on the story from the gospels in which a group of friends tears a roof off a house to bring their paralyzed friend to Jesus. He talks with Shawn Arvin from Love City, a ministry in the Portland neighborhood of Louisville that is doing some outstanding outreach work for their neighbors. Love City opened a preschool for the children in the neighborhood and a restaurant that employs people from the neighborhood, started two urban farms, and have revitalized Portland’s Westonia Park. They also reflect on how God cares for people “one at a time” through Shawn's story about God pursuing him until he came to faith in Christ and who now pursues others to share the good news of Christ.

Recently, a controversy erupted after John MacArthur made a comment about Beth Moore – saying she should “go home.” The comment led to a firestorm on social media, and brought to the surface a variety of issues related to women in ministry. On this episode of The Pastors Collective, Pastors Greg Surratt and Darrin Patrick are joined by Geoff and Sherry Surratt to discuss the questions raised by the controversy. What roles should women play in ministry? What opportunities should churches provide for them? And what should women in ministry hear from their pastors?

At Southeast, we’re in the middle of a sermon series called “Mantra”, in which we’re exploring phrases that we hope shape the life and character of our church. This week’s mantra is “Catch the Wind.” In the gospels, Jesus compares the Holy Spirit to the wind, teaching us to value adventure and action over safety and comfort. Our guests on this episode, Matt and Kristi Robison, know what it’s like to catch the wind. Their story is one of how God led them step-by-step through adoption, through several moves that were unforeseen, and to launch Hope Place in Louisville, Kentucky. It’s a story of faith and of God’s faithfulness, of leaning on the Holy Spirit, and living like sails that catch the wind. You can learn more about Hope Place here.

On this episode of One at a Time, Kyle Idleman sits down with Brock O’Dell to talk about a subject that affects more households that you might think: pornography. Brock struggled for several years – starting as a teenager – with an addiction to porn, and over the years, learned to fight the good fight and resist the temptation. As Brock puts it, people aren’t just searching for porn, porn is searching for them too. Recognizing this, we need to learn how to talk about it. In this conversation, you’ll hear about how kids discover porn, the damage it does, and the paths of grace that lead away from it.

How should we think about our social media habits? What good can come from them, and what harm? On this episode, Kyle sits down with Andrea Amettis and Meg Rich, two people with very, very different social media habits, to discuss the ways that social media can be used for good and bad purposes. They talk about why Andrea has given most of the platforms up, and why Meg has stayed engaged online. It’s a challenging conversation that will give you the opportunity to reflect on your own habits, and the ways God might be able to use you as a source of encouragement for others when you’re online.

Kyle Idleman grew up the son of a seminary president, and though he grew up in a healthy home and loved his involvement in his local church, the expectations of becoming a pastor caused teenaged Kyle to claim he’d never be a pastor. God had other plans. After taking a preaching gig in college solely for the fifty bucks it paid for each sermon, by the time Kyle had preached for six weeks, he felt God’s call, and what’s more, he loved preaching. He likes to joke that God “tricked” him into this calling. On this episode, Mike Cosper sits down with Kyle to discuss his career as a church planter, his role as senior pastor of a 20,000+ member megachurch, and his evolution as an author. It’s an encouraging conversation. Cultivated is a production of Harbor Media and Narrativo Group.

Daniel Baltzer is a New York artist—that is, he’s a visual artist who works and lives in New York City. As he says in his conversation with Mike, “if you want to swim with the big dogs, you have to go to New York.” Having grown up in Ohio and attended Taylor University in Indiana, Daniel has succeeded in carving out a niche for himself in a hyper-competitive endeavor that he says is ripe for renewal. Along the way, he’s managed to raise a family and live out his faith, serving in a local congregation for many years. Our conversation with Daniel is a fascinating look at the grind of being what he calls a blue-collar artist. Along the way, Daniel offers a vision for how the church can and should embrace beauty and art for the sake of the common good. To do this would, in his opinion, trigger a modern Renaissance.

Russ Moore felt God’s call to ministry at the age of 12, but by the time he was 15, he faced a crisis of faith. As he studied the spiritual landscape around him, taking the measure of how church leaders performed, he concluded that “this isn’t New Testament Christianity.” Rather than walk away from the faith, as many young people do, Moore decided to “go into ministry and show up as myself and see what happens.” Despite his commitment to the church, Moore always seemed to end up in politics and spent time in Washington working for a Democratic Congressman from his home state of Mississippi. Russ Moore’s career straddles the line between faith and politics and faith and culture, and in his role as President of the ERLC, he is often called upon to speak to both Christians and the world at large about the implications of everything from the Trump phenomenon to the corrosive effects of technology on families. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to sit with Russ and draw warmth from the glow of his optimism about the church, despite a rising tide of secularism and apathy in the general culture.

As a youngster, Dan Phelps grew up in the shadow of the music business - quite literally. Phelps' father was the founder of the Full Sail Recording Workshop, which has since grown into Full Sail University, a technical school that has taught thousands of people how to make a living in the music, film and television industries. With that much gear and talent around, it is no surprise that the younger Phelps took to music at a young age. He started with drums and eventually switched to guitar, developing an avant-garde and experimental style that has been a trademark for his entire career. Phelps has maintained a true artist's path, lending his talents as a composer, producer, guitarist, audio engineer and performer to a wide range of artists and situations - with the common thread being his collaborators' willingness to be open-minded in their approach to making music. The last few years have found Phelps diving deeper into his explorations of improvisational composition. His custom-made guitar and laptop-based performance workstation has several unique modifications that allow him to blend electronic music and live recording technology with the full range of expression of the guitar into unique soundscapes that are different every single time. Imagine a one-man electronica jam band that can take you on a musical journey for four minutes, four hours or anywhere in between. Phelps' foray into live performance technology shows that the seemingly limitless powers of advanced technology can most certainly be used for good.

On today's podcast, we talk with John Reed of Ronin about their creations, why they're using redwood for their guitar bodies and how those distinctive pickups came to be. We also hear from guitarist Dan Phelps on what it's like to play these guitars in a variety of settings. Ronins may be best known as the guitar of choice for audio experimenter David Torn but, as you'll hear, they can be used in a wide variety of settings. All told, it's a fun chat about woods, guitarmaking, the magic behind goldfoil pickups and more. www.fretboardjournal.comhttp://roninguitars.com
Given her genteel demeanor and diminutive stature, it would be easy to mistake Claire Holley for a southern debutante rather than an astute artist with considerable talents as a singer, songwriter, performer and composer. Holley possesses an innate ability to make people feel at ease, and she captivates audiences when she combines her warm spirit with a beautifully natural way of singing. Over the last two decades, the Mississippi born and bred Holley has released several albums that range in style from intimate, acoustic settings to traditional hymns, children's songs, holiday music and full band releases, but her new album, Time in the Middle, expands her sound into some new, sonically complex territory reminiscent of producer Pierre Marchand's work with Sarah McLachlan. One of the more remarkable aspects about her new album is that this expansive sonic palette was created by just Holley and a pair of carefully selected multi-instrumentalists, Dan Phelps and Jonathan Kingham. The trio holed up in a world-class studio in the rural Northern California town of Ferndale, and the isolation yielded a focused album that will feel familiar to her devoted fans while simultaneously taking a few risks that pay rich, artistic rewards. If Holley's angelic voice is what pulls listeners in, it's her keen eye for detail in her lyrics that keeps them coming back.
