Podcasts about deacons

Join Jordan, Commish, Pitt Girl, Lord of the Spreadsheets Kevin, Big Sky Brigit, and our VP of Podcast Production Arthur. Jordan ate all the foods at the State Fair of Texas. We attempt to preview Week 6 and determine our Sickos Committee Game of the Week. We look at the Beavers and App State's turnover problems, Miami Ohio and NIU, wonder if San Diego State can only score points at home, the Battle of the Belt, Deacons and interim bump Hokies, Clemson at UNC and Chapel Thrill's Ludacris morning concert, Army/UAB, have no idea what is going to happen in Kansas State at Baylor, BC and Pitt, the all-new GMC FIUConn, OWL VS OWL (screeching sound), and ULM at Northwestern. Then a volcano erupts in our podcast, and we get absolutely sidetracked making a restaurant, the Return to the MAC for UMass; we find ourselves absolutely intrigued by UTSA at Temple, Big Red at the Blue Hens. Hey, it's Washington vs. Maryland in the Big Ten? Get confused about the very minimal late-night CFB action; we all feel like Texas at Florida will make everyone feel bad.

He emphasizes that leaders must be people of integrity, self-control, and spiritual maturity. An overseer must be above reproach, faithful to one spouse, gentle, hospitable, and able to teach. He must manage his household well and not be a recent convert. Deacons also must be dignified, trustworthy, and committed to sound faith and behavior. Their wives must also demonstrate respect, self-control, and faithfulness. Paul explains that leadership in the church is a serious responsibility, a position focused on service to others, not power over them. He reminds Timothy that the church is the household of God, and it must uphold the truth and reflect the mystery of godliness revealed in the whole story of Christ. Leadership among God's people is not about status but about character. We are reminded that what we do in private shapes who we are in public, and that public leadership roles are worth aspiring to. Whether or not we serve in official roles, we all represent Christ through the way we live. We must seriously consider how we speak, lead our families, and respond to challenges. God is calling us to grow in integrity and to be faithful stewards of the influence we have. As part of His household, we help carry the truth about Jesus Christ to others. Let us commit to lives that are rooted in love, guided by humility, and centered on the example of Jesus. Glorious Father, You call leaders to be examples, not just in words, but in how they live each day. Form in us the character that reflects Your heart: steadfast, humble, gentle, and full of truth. Help us lead our families, churches, and communities with wisdom and integrity. Remind us that leadership is not about control, but about service. Give us courage to correct, strength to stand firm, and grace to lead with love. Whatever role we play in local churches, may our lives be trustworthy, and our actions speak of Your goodness. May we be pillars and supports of the truth.   Thought Questions: Why should Christian men aspire to serve as elders in local churches? Describe the type of men God approves to serve as overseers. From elders to deacons to wives, what are common character traits among servants in local churches? Which of those needs your attention? How is the church “the pillar and support of the truth”? How do you contribute to that, and why must Jesus be at the center of it all?

In addition to Elders, Timothy is to find qualified Deacons. Who are Deacons? We look at Acts 6 and examine how the early church adapted to increased ministry needs by establishing a new office of ordained men to serve the material needs of the church. Acts 6:1-7

In addition to Elders, Timothy is to find qualified Deacons. How does God equip these servants for faithful ministry in the church? We look at 1 Timothy 3:8-13 to answer that question.

"Elders and Deacons: Servants who Lead and Leaders who Serve"Pastor Brad Teaches from 1 Timothy 3:1-16This weeks sermon deals with the structure of the church. Pastor Brad delves into Paul's teachings, revealing that the aspirations for the people in leadership are many, and most are just that, aspirations. The leadership should be striving to embody the qualities listed by Paul, but not necessarily meet all of them. That choosing the correct people to delegate the church is paramount to her success.YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/TAlLqZkN-yUThank you so much for joining us today! We also have a Podcast Link: www.lakewoodgrace.com/podcast Please connect with us by filling out a communication card here: www.lakewoodgrace.com/connect

Paul outlines God's qualifications for church leaders so the church stays healthy and centered on the gospel. Elders (pastors/overseers) must be men of integrity who can teach, lead, and guard the flock. Their credibility shows up at home and in the community. Deacons lead by serving, meeting practical needs so elders can focus on prayer and the ministry of the Word. Elders lead by shepherding; deacons lead by serving.

Paul gives Timothy instructions to choose church leaders, in particular elders and deacons, for the church in Ephesus. We breakdown the qualifications for both in today's podcast and discuss how the American church doesn't follow these instructions very well. We tend to choose people who have money or who is from a prominent family in the she congregation and forget the qualifications...AND the Bible is clear these positions are plural, not singular! There should never be one, what we call "pastor" with a bunch of deacons under him, these positions were always plural in every church!

Since we have covered a lot of things just in chapters 1 and 2, we decided to review those two chapters...Actually Randy got long winded and took too long with the review so we made two separate podcasts for chapter 3. This is part 1 and awe will cover church leaders--elders and deacons, in the next podcast. Thanks for listening and sharing the GRINDIT Podcast! God bless you!!!

The Qualities of Deacons - Shawn Zybach by Somerville St Church of Christ

Patrick unpacks listener questions about why bishops can’t marry, offers candid advice on dealing with awkward moral conversations at family events, and doesn’t shy away from what he thinks about clapping or disruptions in church. He clarifies the real story behind Adam and Eve’s children, addresses concerns about hypnotism and teens with cell phones, and draws sharp lines on what should, and shouldn’t, be open to discussion in modern classrooms. Stories, tough calls, and unexpected perspectives roll in rapid succession. Eva (email) - Can you talk today about the first reading from Timothy and the bishop being married? I mean, I know Deacons can be married currently, but the bishop? (01:03) Steve - How did the world get populated by Adam and Eve? Did Cain have children with his siblings? (12:05) All of the Charlie Kirk related audio we’ve played on the show has been posted in one spot on Facebook and X (21:02) Ellie (email) - Several members of the congregation responded vocally to what the priest was saying in his homily. For instance, when the priest asked a rhetorical question, some of the congregants would loudly answer the question. Not only that, but some of the parishioners waved their hands in the air. (25:37) Ruben (email) – Is the Vatican having a LGBQT event? Michael (email) - Do you really believe that today, in the 21st century, a man with a hunting rifle, assault rifle or any kind of firearm could stand a chance against the might of the United States military? (30:03) Heberto (email) - Is hypnotism a sin? (33:23) John (email) – I don’t understand how X (twitter) works (38:45) Audio: Teacher training model for school district in Naperville references topics that are closed for discussion because they are “settled” by social scientists, and students should not be allowed to discuss any opposing views in the classroom. For example, global warning and systemic racism have already been settled per this clip and are not open to discussion on if it exists but only what to do about it. (41:22) Jacob (14-years-old) - When should I get a smart phone? (47:09)

In this special episode of Deacons Pod, the Paulist Deacon Affiliates discuss "the friendship recession" – the possible change in the way adults today experience and maintain friendships, notably due to workplace changes sparked by the COVID pandemic. During their conversation, the deacons consider how "the friendship recession" differs between men and women, as well as the role of friendships in the spiritual life and in parish life. Two recent articles in the secular media inspired this episode. The first was an August 11 column at Fast Company by Mark Crowley called "No one has office friends anymore. Why that's bad news for employers: How to combat the ‘friendship recession.'"The second article was a May 25 piece in the New York Times by Sam Graham-Felsen called "Where Have All My Deep Male Friendships Gone?"

Acts 6:1-7; Pastor Stan Welch - Interim Pastor

In this Bible Story, we peer into the childhood of Jesus. Even as a young boy, his purpose is clear. He is to teach the word of God and turn people’s hearts of stone into hearts of flesh. Although his family doesn't entirely understand, Jesus grows up with purpose and mission. He grows in strength and wisdom, works as a carpenter, and waits to begin his ministry. This story is inspired by Luke 2:40-52. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Luke 2:40 from the King James Version.Episode 175: As Mary and Joseph were leaving Jerusalem, after their annual Passover visit, they lost track of Jesus. After looking for three days, they found him still in the Temple, asking questions of the Priests and learning from them. Mary was concerned, but Jesus was content and obeyed his father and mother.

We are unable to reply on this app, so include phone # or email address.In this episode, David Nakhla is joined by seasoned deacons John Stahl (Emmanuel OPC, Wilmington, DE), Jared Grigg (Acacia Reformed OPC, Manassas, VA), and Dan Barnes (Trinity Reformed OPC, Lanham, MD) for a conversation on the unique challenges faced by solo deacons in their ministries.The work of a deacon is vital to the life of the church. Deacons demonstrate Christ's mercy by caring for the physical needs of the congregation. By providing aid to the poor, caring for the needs of the sick, supporting widows, and tending to those in hardship, deacons are at the heart of mercy ministry. The institution of the office in Acts 6, where the apostles instructed the church to appoint seven men, shows the biblical principle of plurality in this work.Yet, in some small congregations, a plurality of deacons is not always possible. How does a deacon function when he serves alone? Listen as these men share practical wisdom managing expectations, leaning on the gifts of fellow church members, and faithfully carrying out mercy ministry in the strength God provides.Referenced in this episode:The Deacon Check-In programOPCCDM.orgPresbytery Diaconal CommitteesYou can find all of our episodes at thereformeddeacon.org.

Istrouma Baptist Church (ASC) Aug 31, 2025 ========== August 24 - Field Guide Welcome! We're glad you've joined us today for our Sunday morning worship service! For more information about Istrouma, go to istrouma.org or contact us at info@istrouma.org. We glorify God by making disciples of all nations. ========== Connection Card https://istrouma.org/myinfo The Importance of Character 1 Timothy 3:1-7 & 14-16 ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭16‬‬ The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church? He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil. Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain. They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless. Their wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, faithful in all things. Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well. For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus. I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that, if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth. Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory. 1. The importance of character in leadership. Leadership without character will eventually collapse. 2. The importance of character in the church. If they distrust us, they will discard the gospel. 3. The mystery of godliness is the gospel.

How are you serving the Lord today friend? If you're struggling to come up with an answer, be encouraged that we all have a role to play in the church!

Dave Clawson and Dabo Swinney became good friends over the course of Clawson's 11 seasons as head coach at Wake Forest. Clawson came agonizingly close to beating Clemson but never did, and he says he's particularly haunted by the 2022 game the Tigers won 51-45 in double overtime on the Deacons' home field. Clawson has great respect for not just the program and culture Swinney has built, but for the 2025 team that he believes looks a lot like the powerhouse that won two national titles and advanced to the playoffs every season from 2015 to 2020. Bryce Koon covers LSU for The Bengal Tiger of the On3 network. He joins the podcast to share what Brian Kelly is like behind the scenes and says it's quite a lot different from what is perceived from afar. How many LSU fans will trek to Clemson, even those who aren't going to get into the stadium? How much pressure is on Kelly to win big this year? And what can Clemson fans expect a year from now when Swinney's Tigers return the favor and visit Baton Rouge?

Pope Leo XIV's accession could mean a new opportunity to reform the Catholic Church by allowing women as ordained deacons. Those advocating for this change argue that allowing women would represent a return to early Church tradition and showcase an evolving Church ready for modernity. Those against this argue that it would blur theological lines and that women already play substantial leadership roles within the Church. Now we debate: Is It Time for the Catholic Church to Ordain Women as Deacons?  Arguing Yes: Casey Stanton, Co-director of Discerning Deacons  Arguing No: Pia de Solenni, Theologian; Former Chancellor of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange in California  Nayeema Raza, Journalist and Host of "Smart Girl Dumb Questions", is the guest moderator.  Visit OpentoDebate.org to watch more insightful debates.   Take our podcast listener survey here: https://bit.ly/opentodebatesurvey  Subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed on our curated weekly debates, dynamic live events, and educational initiatives.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Mike unpacks each of the essential elements of the rite of the ordination of deacons as well as each of the tasks of the deacon.
