Podcasts about established church

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: The ACLU and other anti-religion groups have asked the Supreme Court to overturn the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and declare that Texas cannot post the Ten Commandments in school classrooms. Maybe we should accept their argument that exposure is equal to advocacy, indoctrination, and establishment. That way we could apply the same to all of their Marxist, secular, Leftist crap and force it all out of schools! Frankly, this whole of issue of separation of church and state is moronically misunderstood. There is no such separation in the Constitution, only the prohibition of government creating an Established Church – which had a very specific meaning when written not a generic anti-religious meaning.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.Rep. Patterson brings up, again, the idea of starting school in September. We've had this argument for decades as start dates moved earlier. What is missed by reporters and others who are ignorant what has gone before, is that it mostly has to do with football. Going lefty with near “participation trophies” for playoffs added weeks to the schedule.Texas CEO pay: Companies with the widest worker pay gaps. Why is this anyone's business? “Workers” (effectively a Marxist term) are free to buy stock and be owners in publicly traded companies but management pay is only their business as an owner, not an employee. And, note the silly union comment about workers being the ones “who make their companies profitable.” Firstly, it's not “their” company if they are employees. Secondly, if this is true then when companies fail it is the employees who “make their companies” unprofitable.Listen on the radio, or station stream, at 5pm Central.

The conversation also covers practical steps for churches to adopt these principles, including training programs and cohorts designed to foster rapid disciple multiplication.

He introduces a parallel track model, where dedicated discipleship pathways run alongside traditional church structures. The session includes insights from Brian King and David Kaufman on practical training methods, case studies of successful implementations, and strategies for church leaders to foster a culture of multiplication. The session concludes with a call for unity and renewed vision for bringing revival and awakening to American churches.

Pastor Tim shares the story of how his church began using VisitorReach, a tool designed to connect churches with first-time guests and neighbors.

A God-Established Church (Acts 16:6-40) by TCWC

Can the Church of England escape from the deadly grip of bishops and bureaucrats who spend their entire time genuflecting to the metropolitan Left? Why does Archbishop Justin Welby wade obsessively into secular political battles when his churches are emptying? And do worshippers realise that eye-watering sums of money are being siphoned off from their parishes in order to fund worthless exercises in social engineering? In this episode of Holy Smoke, the Rev Marcus Walker, Rector of St Bartholomew the Great in the City of London, reveals the scale of the crisis facing the Established Church. His analysis is devastating. Among the subjects he addresses is the cultural cringe that led Welby and gang to value the opinions of Paula Vennells, the disgraced former head of the Post Office who nearly became Bishop of London, over those of qualified theologians and parochial clergy.  Under its current Rector, the ancient parish of St Bart's has become a beacon of hope for proud traditional Anglicans. Marcus tells me how he's reaching out to a new generation of Christians bored out of their minds by episcopal jargon – and also what he thinks of Pope Francis's attempt to crush the Latin Mass. It's a rollercoaster of an interview with one of the great clerics of our age. Don't miss it!

In this episode, Pastor Zac interviews Rev. Sam Perez of Grace Reformed Church in Jersey City. 

In this episode of the Unseen Leadership Podcast, Chandler Vannoy and Dan Iten are joined by Josh King, Lead pastor of Second Baptist in Conway, Arkansas. In the episode, Josh discusses his journey in ministry, starting at the age of 18, and emphasizes the importance of investing in established churches and valuing their resources and legacy. He highlights the need for young leaders to prepare themselves for leadership roles by immersing themselves in the environments and practices of their desired positions and learning from experienced leaders. Through his own experiences and mentorship, Josh encourages young leaders to recognize and affirm the callings of others, empowering them to step into their leadership roles with confidence. QUOTES FROM EPISODE 80 “When you see a calling within somebody and in their life, call it out. Giving that confidence to somebody is huge and affirming.” – Josh King “There is a big difference between saying someone is ready for ministry and simply telling them they are called.” – Josh King “Don't wait until you have the job. Start learning now by hanging out with people who are actively doing what you want to do and pick it up as you can.” – Josh King “A shift for me was not being bitter about not being the trendy, cool, leader with all these special giftings, but instead, just embracing whom God created me to be.” – Josh King “We can be so tempted to get go ahead and get to a decision, but things like struggling with a committee, or struggling with some deacons or some lay leaders, there's discipleship in that.” – Josh King “If you can see the beauty in the minutia and in the journey, I would have learned quicker to bring my eyes down a little bit and to see the now, not just the next.” – Josh King “We love leadership so much, yet over and over Scripture puts a greater emphasis on following in that, great leaders are actually just great followers. And God gives a following to those who are great followers.” – Josh King “If you worry more about following Christ and about submitting to the godly leaders in your life, the leadership will come later. That's how you get developed.” – Josh King “God is not going to hold you responsible for the mess that you found. He's just holding you responsible for what you do in it.” – Josh King RECOMMENDED RESOURCES The God Who Goes Before You: Pastoral Leadership as Christ-Centered Followership by Timothy Paul Jones and Michael S.

A Christian Prince, an Established Church, King Charles' Impeccable Style, and more.    

Voters in Turkey go to the polls today in the country's presidential election. The two main candidates, the incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his challenger, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, have set out their visions for the nation's future. We explore the religious differences between the candidates and consider how the outcome of the election could affect life and faith in Turkey and the country's significant international role. The Coronation of King Charles III was a spectacular display of Britishness but also a profoundly religious event. While a number of faiths played a small role, it was overwhelmingly an Anglican ceremony and a powerful statement of the Church of England's central place within the state. But as ever smaller numbers of people go to Anglican services, and the nation's religious life becomes more diverse, does it still have a legitimate right to remain as England's established church? We hear the arguments on both sides. St Francis of Assisi is the Pope's favourite saint. It's why he took the name Francis, and it's why his papacy has placed such a strong emphasis on care for the natural world and a commitment to the poor. Born at the end of the 12th century, St Francis, who renounced his wealth to form a humble order of friars, has been a compelling subject for artists throughout the centuries. Now, the National Gallery in London is hosting the first major UK art exhibition to explore his life and legacy. Producer: Jonathan Hallewell Presenter: Edward Stourton Editor: Tim Pemberton

The name of his ministry Rip'd for Life. Here is the link. https://www.facebook.com/RIPD4LIFERip'd for Life's guiding principles are as follows:RIP'd 4 Life guiding principlesRelationships come first. Relationships are the ultimate reality of the universe and the relationality of God is the basis for understanding all human issues because we were made in the image of our creator who is a relational being. RIP'd 4 Life will make all of its decisions based on the relational well-being of its participants. If it's not good for the relationship, then we don't do it.Giving as a way of life. Human beings are prone to excess. As a dominant cultural force, consumerism and materialism threaten the human soul and ultimately lead to the destruction of the earth and personal dissatisfaction. At RIP'd 4 Life we exist to give. We are endeavor to give and not take. We exist for the sake of others. We aim to serve in the manner of Christ. All of our participants are challenged to think, act and live outside of oneself. We believe the secret to living is giving.Life in community. Communitas is a Latin word that denotes an intense community spirit where feelings of equality, solidarity and togetherness are present. RIP'd 4 Life Camp experiences aspire to create a true spirit of community. Campers and counselors sleep in the same quarters, eat the same food, and participate in all activities together. There are no persons of privilege and no second class citizens. We are a community that practices embraces a common purpose in Jesus Christ.Experiential Learning. Experience is life's best teacher. Young men are taught many things in theory, but rarely implement those lessons in the context of real life. Experiential learning occurs when human beings are placed in real life situations that demand a response. In order to promote experiential learning, RIP'd 4 Life will create age appropriate activities where experiential learning can occur. There is no set curriculum or content, participants discover what needs to be discovered and those learning experiences are not soon forgotten.Holistic Holiness. Holiness is about having right relationships and pursuing “wholeness.” The “inner man” seeking a right relationship with God is the basis for right relations with others. Once a right relationship is established with God, right relationships can be developed with others, the world we live in and our own bodies. RIP'd 4 Life is interested in the “whole” person (Mind, body and soul) and our activities will reflect the whole being of a person.Jesus not masculinity. Definitions of manhood are wide and varied. Instead of using gender stereotypes and cultural values to inform young men about what they should become, we default to Jesus. We have no indication from scripture that Jesus came to earth for the purpose of modeling manhood. As such, we do not say he is the perfect male, we say he is the perfect human being and his perfect life saves us from ourselves making it possible to be transformed into the image of God. Therefore, we resist narrow definitions of what a man is (e.g., the stronger sex, dominant, etc.). We do not say things like “Man-up,” “Grow-up,” “Be a man,” etc. As a community, we endeavor to be transformed into the likeness of Christ and this requires the embodiment of virtues such as humility, courage, justice, mercy and forgiveness. Our main objective is to seek godliness and the masculine thing will take care of itself. That is not to say traditionally masculine things do not happen at our camps & retreats (sporting competitions, brotherhood, etc.), it is to say our perspective on those things is different and what we do is filtered through the lens of Christ-likeness

This episode features Paul Huyghebaert and Rob Shaver of Grace Chapel Church. They shared a conversation about implementing disciple making movement principles from around the world in our already established North American churches.

And some suggestions on how to improve upon the Established Church.In order to have righteous societies, we need an official, institutional Recognized Church in each state. This is the first episode in a series and begins the discussion on how we can get the Recognized Church at the local and state level.In the podcast, I mentioned an article by Dr. Joe Morecraft on the original version of the Westminster Confession vs. the American version. It's an interesting read that shows how America over-reacted against the doctrine of the Established Church.

In this episode, we interview Dr. Katharine Gerbner, Professor of History at the University of Minnesota, about her research on the religious dimensions of the Atlantic slave trade. Dr. Gerbner studied three groups: Anglicans, Quakers, and Moravians analyzing how they engaged with, defended, and benefited from the slave trade in Barbados and other English Colonies. How did groups that we associate with pacifism and abolitionism justify owning other human beings? What was the focus of the Established Church of England in relation to the expansion of the British Empire? Our latest episode explores these and other related topics that help us understand our early American religious experience. Dr. Katharine Gerbner holds degrees from Columbia and Harvard Universities. She is a native of Germantown PA and is an Associate Professor of History at the University of Minnesota. She writes; “My first book, Christian Slavery: Conversion and Race in the Protestant Atlantic World, shows how debates between slave-owners, black Christians, and missionaries transformed the practice of Protestantism and the language of race.” 

The pandemic has taken a toll on the Church.  “Churches initially lost 50 percent of their congregations,” says pastor, author, and podcaster Dr. Desmond Barrett. “Since that time, 75 percent of it has come back, but there is a quarter of the population that has not come back to the church.”  Barrett serves as the lead pastor at Summit Church of the Nazarene in Ashland, Kentucky and writes and podcasts on the topic of church revitalization.   “It's an opportunity to become the Acts-driven church. We cannot go back to two years ago. We cannot go back to the ‘glory days,' whenever they were in the local church,” he says. “We have to focus on the season that we're in here, today.”   For churches that once focused primarily on programming for the people in the pews, Barrett sees this as an opportunity to look outward to those who live in the shadow of our steeples.   “God has called us to minister to those people,” he says. In order to do that, “we have to become a praying people.”  And if you're a church leader discouraged by empty chairs, Barrett assures us that God is not surprised by the pandemic and its effects. He can use it all to revitalize His church.   “Stop focusing on what you did yesterday or even what you're going to do tomorrow. Because when you do that you realize that God is in the midst.”  Listen to our 15-minute conversation to hear Desmond Barrett's strategies for emerging from the pandemic and hear how many congregations are returning to a focus on prayer.  Dr. Desmond Barrett is the author of Revitalizing the Declining Church: From Death's Door to Community Growth, and Addition Through Subtraction: Revitalizing the Established Church. You can find the article that inspired this conversation here.

Dr Sam Rainer joins us this week for a special episode where we ask him all about his ministries - Church Answers, EST. - For the Established Church Podcast, and his newest book, "https://www.amazon.com/gp/slredirect/picassoRedirect.html/ref=pa_sp_atf_aps_sr_pg1_1?ie=UTF8&adId=A041873713N1BF6WO6BRO&url=%2FChurch-Revitalization-Checklist-Practical-Congregation-ebook%2Fdp%2FB097Q7RH1B%2Fref%3Dsr_1_1_sspa%3Fcrid%3DP64O7HYRANW5%26keywords%3Dsam%2Brainer%26qid%3D1652952635%26sprefix%3Dsam%2Brainer%252Caps%252C131%26sr%3D8-1-spons%26psc%3D1&qualifier=1652952635&id=467742932362362&widgetName=sp_atf (The Church Revitalization Checklist)". We had so much to talk about that we had to call in help! Guest host, Brandon Knight also joined us this episode to ask Dr Rainer some about Church Administration. Brandon is a seminary student with his own podcast, "My Seminary Life" where he discusses what he's been learning in seminary and recently he just finished a class on Church administration. We all laugh and have a good time while also discussing the deep ideas of the importance of established Churches and organization in ministry.

In 2019, there were many lectures and commemorations of the first African Americans to arrive in the Colony of Virginia who were forced into labor for the Planter class. But, 1619 was also the year that brought the first large influx of English Women to the Colony. Why did these women agree to become wives to men they had never met? What was the role and status of these women at Jamestown? What new laws gave incentive for these women to come to a place that posed so many threats to their well-being? How did the Established Church look upon women?  Today we will discuss with Jamie Helmick the answer to these and other fascinating questions. Jamie Helmick is the Special Projects and Programs Manager for Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation. Jamie has degrees from Christopher Newport University (CNU) and Old Dominion University.

We now have an established church in our country, and it is a Secular Church. The first amendment's "freedom of religion" clauses had a distinct purpose, but it was not to separate church and state to the extent, or in the manner, that we turn our backs on God. -James Madison"The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe with blood for centuries." Instead of ensuring that opposing religious factions don't persecute one another, modern interpretations of the establishment clause have been used to attack religion. This is a serious problem, and one that needs to be addressed. The First Amendment of United States ConstitutionCongress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

In this episode, Josh Teis talks with Tony Liuzzo about how to refresh an established church. Tony pastors a thriving church in Columbus, Ohio. When he took over as the lead pastor the church had declined to an average of 400 people. Now the church averages 750 people on a weekly basis.Quotes from the episode:“In order for God to get you where he wants you to be, he has to put you through the fire.” – Tony Liuzzo“Lord, move or move me.” – Tony Liuzzo“If we would find that and not look at it as competing with the older, every church would do better. We're not competing with the older, don't try to get rid of them. Honor them, love them.” – Tony Liuzzo“The first thing that I did, was nothing.” – Tony Liuzzo“Refreshing an established church means you have to change some things that aren't working. Or, change some things that worked in the 70's and 80's.” – Tony Liuzzo“For the first year I was preaching the gospel and what doesn't change and where I stood, so they knew my heart.” – Tony Liuzzo“A lot of times the lines get blurred for what's biblical and what's traditional.” – Tony Liuzzo“You honor God by being biblical, you don't honor God just by being traditional. Now, don't throw out traditions just because you're trying to make change. There are some traditions that are good and healthy.” – Tony Liuzzo“The fact is the Bible says everything about our doctrine, but it says very little about our tradition.” – Josh Teis“I've noticed it might be that way because we've constantly feel the necessity to add a scripture verse to our tradition.” – Josh Teis“Shame on any pastor that takes over a church and they're more faithful to try to uphold the traditions than they are to uphold the purpose of why that church was established. And that's to reach the community and to reach the lost.” – Tony Liuzzo“The methods that they used, they used because they worked for their day and age and for their generation. “ – Tony Liuzzo“We'd make a change and say, ‘let me tell you how God is working with this'”. – Tony Liuzzo“Honor the past, but have a vision for the future.” – Tony Liuzzo“If you want to refresh your church, get your church focused on people.” – Tony Liuzzo
