The message was delivered on Sunday, November 9, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Randy Lewis, Assistant Minister. Description: We live in an age of quick clicks and easy exits—where "I agree" means "I didn't read it." But what if the same carelessness that seeps into our choices begins to hollow out our character? What if the promises we keep—or fail to keep—are the hidden fine print of who we really are? Dare to slow down, read what we've signed with our lives, and rediscover the power of meaning what we say, even when it costs something. When words lose their weight, covenant becomes rebellion.

Kingdom Culture- Week 2November 09, 2025Teacher: Pastor David NunnKingdom Culture: Bringing Heaven to EarthHow the Kingdom Shapes CommunityText: John 13:34–35; Acts 2:42–47Welcome to week two of “Kingdom Culture: Bringing Heaven to Earth.”Last week Pastor Dave Brown spoke about the way Jesus kind of “flips the script” on what we tend to believe a blessed life looks like. A blessed life according to Matthew 5, is one of humility, mercy, gentleness, sorrow, and dependance on the LORD. It involves persecution, rather than accomplishment, fame, or wealth. I would suggest to you that bringing the kingdom of heaven to earth will never be accomplished through powerful political movements, or even through great spiritual awakenings. That is not to say that the Spirit of God doesn't miraculously move through great populations of people. There have been several such movements in Christian history, beginning with Pentecost which we'll discuss in a moment. However, these great spiritual awakenings are the exception, not the norm.The norm for bringing the Kingdom of God in earth as it is in heaven is for groups of committed disciples of Christ to live and witness to their faith in a way that touches the community around them. When the world sees disciples loving each other and loving their neighbors in the same way that Christ loves them, then unbelieving hearts and minds are refocused with a desire to understand the source of that love.That is a process that is not built on great preaching, exciting worship, or big evangelical events that draw huge crowds. It happens as believers build humble, loving relationships in their homes, neighborhoods, workplaces and communities, and through those relationships we witness to the life-changing presence of Christ in our lives. The key to growing a kingdom culture is welcoming and joining the presence of our King within our community.At its core, Christianity is not a religion based on rules of conduct, or commitment to a list of tenets of faith. Jesus never taught His disciples to go and establish a correct moral standard for rest of the world to follow. We are not called to be moral police for the world. We have enough trouble policing our individual, personal morality.Again, as Pastor Dave reminded us a few weeks ago we shouldn't be wasting time trying to manage sin; not our own, and certainly not someone else's sin. That's like trying to hide the darkness. It's not possible. Instead, we should just turn on the light. How do we do that?Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.When we give ourselves wholly to God, we invite Him to bless us with His presence, His power, and His holiness. When you invite the presence of God into your life, it flips on the light that overcomes darkness. Again, to cite the teaching of Pastor Dave Brown, repentance is not just a change of behavior, it's a change of direction. It's a moment-by-moment choice to follow Jesus, which is all He ever asks any of His disciples to do. When we do that, Jesus doesn't change our behavior. He changes our nature.2 Cor 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!This new creation is the result of “abiding in Christ.” Does that sound familiar? It should. We spent the months of September and October talking about abiding in Christ. It is only through the presence of Christ that any of us can experience this life-changing outcome.So, if this newly created nature comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ, what other relationships are formed as a result?The model prayer is “Your kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven.” So, we're talking about establishing God's Kingdom culture in a way that impacts the culture of the rest of the world.One person can't do that. It requires community. Even Jesus didn't try to change the world's culture by Himself. Many believed that He would. They expected Him to miraculously overthrow the Roman's, declare Himself King, and establish His reign on Earth. Instead, He recruited and taught a small community of believers who were committed to following Him. In the book of Acts, Luke shares the history of this group of 120 believers who, over the course of the first century, made a fundamental cultural impact on the entire Roman world, and beyond. In fact, the impact of that tiny congregation is still being felt 2000 years later, on the other side of the world in Redeemer Church in Tulsa, OK. That's the power of a community of people who are committed to following Christ wherever and however He leads.I would submit to you today that the power to alter a culture through the establishment of God's Kingdom happens only through a community of faith. It is never the result of a single individual, no matter how gifted he/she may be.Let's see how God moved through that first Christian community. After the ascension of Jesus, we are told in Acts 1:15 that about 120 followers of Christ were constantly gathering to pray as they followed Jesus' final instruction to wait in Jerusalem for the promised Holy Spirit to arrive. As they gathered on the Day of Pentecost the promise was fulfilled.Acts 2:4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.Note, they gathered as a community. They had been meeting and praying together for the last ten days. When the Holy Spirit came, they were together as a community, and how many of them were filled with the Holy Spirit? ALL of them. And together they began to speak to the people outside their gathering place. They raised such a ruckus that a crowd gathered to see what was happening. At this point Peter stood up and addressed the crowd. Now you may say, “Look! Peter's just one man, acting on his own.”Acts 2:14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd:Peter wasn't alone. He stood with His fellow apostles, and they stood with the support of the other 108 believers who were witnessing to the crowd.People often note the courage of Peter on that day. This was the man who denied that he even knew Christ on the eve of the crucifixion. Now he's standing up and telling this massive crowd not only was Jesus the prophesied Messiah, but he accused the crowd of crucifying their Messiah. In fact, He ended his message with these words.Acts 2:36 “God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”We wonder what happened? What changed in Peter to give him the courage that was lacking just a few weeks earlier, and of course we point out that He was filled with power of the Holy Spirit. I don't want to, in any way, lessen the importance of the Holy Spirit in Peter's courageous preaching, but I would suggest that there is at least one other important factor: Peter was NOT alone. In the garden outside the house of the high priest none of Peter's fellow disciples were present. When he preached at Pentecost he stood as one of twelve apostles who were supported by a community of 120, who had spent the last 10 days in constant prayer together. Can you see the strength and power of a community, even a small one, when they stand together to preach the gospel to the masses who gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate Pentecost that day? Had Peter been alone, he would not have been able to even get the attention of that crowd. The Holy Spirit worked through the empowerment of the entire group. Not just one or an impowered few. ALL were empowered, and ALL went into the streets to preach the gospel.So, what happened next? At the end of the day around 3000 people were added to their number. That was an extraordinary day. A powerful movement of the Spirit that brought thousands into the fellowship of the church. We recognize that as an extraordinary day. As I said earlier, that is NOT the normal flow of Kingdom growth. It was an exceptional outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the entire community of faith. Again, it was a community movement. It wasn't Peter acting alone. God chose to work through a community. That's what He always does. Look what happened next.Acts 2:42-47 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.In this passage, I believe we see what the norm for the growth of Kingdom culture in the world should be. Note the verbs that describe how this brand-new church acted:They met together in the temple courts. This was the only place large enough for 3000 people to meet, but they weren't just meeting. The Greek word used here actually means they continued together in one accord: as one mind. What do you think they were doing together in the temple? I think they were learning how to follow Christ.They devoted themselves: Again, the literal translation is “steadfastly continued.” What were they continuing in doing? They spent time and effort, listening to, learning, so that they could follow the teaching of the Apostles. This is most likely why they met together in the temple. Like Jesus, the apostles were using this common gathering place to teach the people. These new converts were devoted to gathering daily and continuously learning and following the apostles teaching.They were also devoted (steadfastly continued) to fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer. Where do you think that took place?They broke bread: In their homes. Breaking bread refers to sharing communion together as Jesus had taught the apostles. They met together in homes, ate together, and shared communion together with glad and sincere hearts.So, they met together in the temple, not every Sunday, but every day, and they also gathered in homes sharing meals and fellowship and praying together in smaller groups throughout the week. This was not a “see you next Sunday” kind of congregational event. These people actually spent time together during the week. They were not just devoted to learning and following the teaching of the apostles, they were devoted to each other. They were devoted to being together with one another.We in the ECC pride ourselves on our devotion to God's Word. Some like to refer to us as people of the book. That's good. The church in Jerusalem shows that devotion to knowing and following the teaching of Christ is fundamental to our spiritual formation, but that's not enough. They also devoted themselves to one another. What was the evidence of that devotion?In verse 44 we are told that the believers were together and had everything in common. The Greek word for believers is actually a verb meaning “having believed.” So Young's literal translation says,“all those believing were at the same place, and had all things common.”Because they shared a common, foundational belief in Jesus Christ as their LORD, they saw each other as a family, holding everything in common. They didn't use the pronouns my/mine, but our/ours. One of the hallmarks of a functional family is that they share. Even from a legal point of view family property is held jointly. So, these 3000 new converts didn't just accept Jesus as LORD, they were adopted and assimilated into a brand-new family; a family built upon their shared commitment to Jesus as LORD.So, they were devoted to learning and following the teachings of Jesus from the apostles, and they were devoted to each other; sharing with one another, caring for one another, finding opportunities to simply be together, share a meal, share communion with other members of the family. What was the result of this two-fold devotion?v. 47 And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.That's how kingdom culture spreads through a lost world. God works through His family. God has given us three fundamental tools to guide us through our spiritual formation. He has given us His Spirit, His Word, and His Church. What we see in the example of this first church is that all three are essential to both personal spiritual formation and kingdom growth. Too many of us who profess Christ as our LORD tend to neglect the importance of personal devotion to our community of faith. Let me just put it to you as simply and plainly as I can. If you aren't devoted to this family that we call church, it's because you aren't fully devoted to Christ.Jesus, Himself said, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:35

A community listened in stunned silence as “Break the Case” examined a decision that many believe defies the gravity of the crimes alleged. In Payne County, Oklahoma, Jesse Mack Butler was accused of serial sexual violence against two young women—identified in criminal complaints as Jane and Sarah—including rape, sodomy with an instrument, oral sodomy, and repeated coercive control. According to the episode, one survivor required neck surgery after alleged strangulation, and a medical assessment noted she was seconds from death. Yet the conclusion stunned observers: a plea that placed Butler under a “youthful offender” status with home confinement, counseling, and the possibility of an expunged record if terms are met. In a state already grappling with trust in its justice system, this outcome landed like breaking news. Host Jennifer Coffindaffer—joined by survivor and advocate Danielle Tudor—delivers a true crime recap that reads like an investigative podcast: urgent, precise, and unflinching. Tudor, who reshaped laws in Oregon and Oklahoma after surviving the “Jogger Rapist,” Richard Gilmore, explains how policy gaps, sentencing discretion, and inconsistent training can turn the promise of justice into a procedural formality. She points to rape kit backlogs, underenforced best-practice training, and sentencing choices that send the wrong message to survivors and offenders alike. The discussion widens to another Oklahoma flashpoint: a Tulsa case where a jury's decades-long prison recommendation reportedly became probation at sentencing. Names matter in true crime and public accountability, and the episode raises scrutiny of Payne County District Attorney Laura Austin Thomas and the bench decisions that enabled a result many call far too lenient. This cinematic news recap dissects how “youthful offender” pathways, counseling-only conditions, and limited registry consequences can collide with the realities of power, control, and escalating violence. It also foregrounds survivor advocacy as a force for reform: mandatory annual law-enforcement training, evidence tracking, backlog elimination, and clearer minimums for violent sex offenses. Listeners will hear how Tudor's decades-long fight for victims—contrasted with the parole-era lessons from Richard Gilmore—offers a roadmap for Oklahoma's next legislative session. The episode references broader case comparisons (including public interest in Bryan Kohberger and Ellen Greenberg) to underscore consistent patterns: grooming, strangulation risk, and the critical need for consequences that protect the public and respect victims' trauma. If you follow true crime, breaking news, and justice reform, this deep-dive is a must-watch. It's not speculation—it's a meticulous, on-record conversation that asks the hard questions. Why was a case with such severe allegations resolved with home confinement? What protections exist for victims when violent behavior is minimized by process? And how can communities mobilize—through policy, elections, and oversight—to ensure that sentences reflect the seriousness of the crimes and the enduring harm to survivors? #JesseButler #Oklahoma #PayneCounty #TrueCrime #BreakingNews #JusticeForSurvivors #SexualAssaultAwareness #DanielleTudor #RichardGilmore #YouthfulOffender Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There are only four games left in the football season and every game is a must win. Hosting solo this week Matt breaks down some of the stats behind the FAU matchup and why he thinks Tulsa can come out of the bye with a win.Additionally he looks at the basketball season opener and the other sports on campus.
A community listened in stunned silence as “Break the Case” examined a decision that many believe defies the gravity of the crimes alleged. In Payne County, Oklahoma, Jesse Mack Butler was accused of serial sexual violence against two young women—identified in criminal complaints as Jane and Sarah—including rape, sodomy with an instrument, oral sodomy, and repeated coercive control. According to the episode, one survivor required neck surgery after alleged strangulation, and a medical assessment noted she was seconds from death. Yet the conclusion stunned observers: a plea that placed Butler under a “youthful offender” status with home confinement, counseling, and the possibility of an expunged record if terms are met. In a state already grappling with trust in its justice system, this outcome landed like breaking news. Host Jennifer Coffindaffer—joined by survivor and advocate Danielle Tudor—delivers a true crime recap that reads like an investigative podcast: urgent, precise, and unflinching. Tudor, who reshaped laws in Oregon and Oklahoma after surviving the “Jogger Rapist,” Richard Gilmore, explains how policy gaps, sentencing discretion, and inconsistent training can turn the promise of justice into a procedural formality. She points to rape kit backlogs, underenforced best-practice training, and sentencing choices that send the wrong message to survivors and offenders alike. The discussion widens to another Oklahoma flashpoint: a Tulsa case where a jury's decades-long prison recommendation reportedly became probation at sentencing. Names matter in true crime and public accountability, and the episode raises scrutiny of Payne County District Attorney Laura Austin Thomas and the bench decisions that enabled a result many call far too lenient. This cinematic news recap dissects how “youthful offender” pathways, counseling-only conditions, and limited registry consequences can collide with the realities of power, control, and escalating violence. It also foregrounds survivor advocacy as a force for reform: mandatory annual law-enforcement training, evidence tracking, backlog elimination, and clearer minimums for violent sex offenses. Listeners will hear how Tudor's decades-long fight for victims—contrasted with the parole-era lessons from Richard Gilmore—offers a roadmap for Oklahoma's next legislative session. The episode references broader case comparisons (including public interest in Bryan Kohberger and Ellen Greenberg) to underscore consistent patterns: grooming, strangulation risk, and the critical need for consequences that protect the public and respect victims' trauma. If you follow true crime, breaking news, and justice reform, this deep-dive is a must-watch. It's not speculation—it's a meticulous, on-record conversation that asks the hard questions. Why was a case with such severe allegations resolved with home confinement? What protections exist for victims when violent behavior is minimized by process? And how can communities mobilize—through policy, elections, and oversight—to ensure that sentences reflect the seriousness of the crimes and the enduring harm to survivors? #JesseButler #Oklahoma #PayneCounty #TrueCrime #BreakingNews #JusticeForSurvivors #SexualAssaultAwareness #DanielleTudor #RichardGilmore #YouthfulOffender Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In a world of constant noise and digital distraction, how can we cultivate a spiritual life that feels alive rather than depleted? Pastor Dorrell argues that modern culture—amplified by technology and relentless connectivity—creates an environment hostile to spiritual flourishing, leaving many believers spiritually atrophied. Drawing on 1 Timothy 4:7-8, he contends that intentional spiritual disciplines are not burdensome obligations but essential practices that create space for God's voice, reorder our misplaced priorities, and transform us from the inside out. The sermon challenges listeners to view fasting, prayer, Scripture meditation, and solitude not as duties to earn God's favor, but as tools to remove obstacles preventing us from experiencing His grace more fully. Commit today to one spiritual discipline that will deepen your connection with Christ and awaken your dormant soul.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We are a welcoming and close-knit family community that loves to care for each other through the Church. We strongly believe in loving and supporting each other and our neighbors.

God's Word tells us to take every thought captive to Christ, encouraging us to submit our minds to the truth, freedom, and hope found in Jesus. Today's podcast is a beautiful reminder of the healing power of Scripture when the enemy attacks our minds. Piper Rinehart, from our Tulsa, Oklahoma community team, vulnerably shares her story of how the Lord graciously met her in a season of spiritual warfare as she was being bombarded by extremely fearful and intrusive thoughts. As Piper recounts the battle in her brain, you are going to see firsthand how the armor of God protected and defended her and how His voice took her from darkness to light. ________________________________________________________________________ VERSE OF THE WEEK: "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." 2 Corinthians 10:5 CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: Mediate on the armor of God found in Ephesians 6 and visualize putting each piece on this week.

It's Tuesday, November 4th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Trump adds Nigeria as Country of Particular Concern The President of the United States announced Friday that Nigeria will be added to the State Department's list of Countries of Particular Concern in regards to Christian persecution, reports ABC News. A "Country of Particular Concern" is a designation given by the U.S. government to a country that has engaged in or tolerated "systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom.” This designation, made by the President or Secretary of State under the International Religious Freedom Act, indicates severe religious freedom violations like torture, prolonged detention for religious reasons, or religiously inspired murder. A Country of Particular Concern designation can lead to diplomatic pressure or economic sanctions. Trump threatens Nigerian Islamic terrorists with swift justice President Trump added this passionate statement to his Truth Social on Sunday. He wrote, “If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,' to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. “I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!” In response, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said on X, "The killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria, and anywhere, must end immediately. The Department of War is preparing for action. Either the Nigerian government protects Christians, or we will kill the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.” Last month, Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas commented on X that "Officials in Nigeria are ignoring and even facilitating the mass murder of Christians by Islamist jihadists.” Mainstream media outlets sidestep Nigerian genocide In recent news reports, the Associated Press, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and other mainstream media sources continue ignoring, minimizing, or outright rejecting the world's most egregious genocide at present -- the mass killing of Christians in Nigeria, Africa. At the same time, Genocide Watch has issued a “Genocide Emergency” for Nigeria —citing the mass slayings of Christians. The organization considers Nigeria to have entered what they call Stage 9: Extermination and Stage 10: Denial — with this particular genocide. Over the last 15 years, a report from the International Society for Religious Liberties and the Rule of Law counts 189,000 Nigerians slaughtered in cold blood by radical Muslims, of which 125,000 plus were Christians. In addition, 19,100 churches were destroyed, and more than 1,100 Christian communities sacked. Nigerian Bishop upset that some deny there's a Christian genocide Bishop David Abioye of the Nigerian Conqueror Global Assembly spoke recently of the genocide, correcting what he called “the distortion of truth.” ABIOYE: “There's a lot of distortion going on. People claiming that there is no genocide of Christians in the nation. You see people buried [by the] hundreds, and you say there is no genocide. What a wicked set of people. I agree there are people killed in other place for other reasons. “But this one is very clear, and gradually it's eating down to the South, Southwest, Southeast. Many so-called leaders, for their personal interest, are claiming it's not true, selling out their faith, if they have it at all.” Romans 13 calls the ruler or president “God's minister to you for good,” noting “he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.” Texas Supreme Court allows judges not to perform homosexual weddings Is Obergefell on ice? That's the 2015 Supreme Court ruling which purportedly legalized same-sex mirage in this country. The Texas Supreme Court has ruled that judges who refuse to perform homosexual faux marriage ceremonies will no longer face disciplinary action for their decisions, reports The Christian Post. This comes right as the US Supreme Court will be discussing the same issue, scheduled for this Friday. Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk, has appealed her case, where she was convicted for refusing to issue marriage licenses to homosexual couples after the Obergefell decision came down in 2015. Reformed pastor arrested for soliciting prostitutes A Presbyterian Church in America pastor from Tulsa, Oklahoma has been arrested on charges of soliciting prostitutes, reports ChurchLeaders.com. Jeremy Fair, senior pastor of Christ Presbyterian Church, was one of five men implicated in a sting operation. The church has placed the pastor on indefinite leave, according to a statement issued by the session. U.S. government shutdown about to become longest in history The current American government shutdown is about to round its fifth week, or 35th day. If the shutdown continues through tomorrow, this will be the longest in U.S. history — exceeding the record set during the first Trump administration in 2019. Because of the ongoing financial crisis, President Donald Trump is urging the Senate Republicans to scrap the 60-vote filibuster threshold in favor of the simple-majority passage of legislation. However, on Monday, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said there's not enough support among Republican senators to eliminate the filibuster, reports Politico.com. However, Senator Thune did express optimism about the Senate's resolution of the shutdown this week, reports CBS News. Trump admin will partially fund November food stamps On Monday, the Trump administration agreed to move billions of emergency dollars to partially pay for food aid this month in response to a federal judge's order, though some families may not receive benefits for weeks, according to Politico.com. Officials will use $4.65 billion from the USDA's contingency fund to support roughly half of food stamp participants' “current allotments” as the shutdown drags on, according to a new legal filing. Help victims of Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti Late last week, Category-5 Hurricane Melissa clobbered Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti, leveling whole towns, and killing 67 people, 32 of whom were in Jamaica, reports NBC News. Samaritan's Purse has airlifted their Emergency Field Hospital to Black River, Jamaica, and has already delivered tons of emergency supplies where the island nation has racked up $4 billion of insured losses. To contribute to this relief effort, click on a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Iceland, Denmark, Australia & UK kill virtually all Down Syndrome babies And finally, in 2 Timothy 3, the Apostle Paul speaks of perilous times where men become “lovers of themselves, lovers of money … without natural affection … brutal … lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. [and] having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof...” Catholic World Report has released numbers on nations aborting children with Down syndrome. Iceland aborts nearly 100%, Denmark 98%, and Australia and the United Kingdom are killing about 90% of its babies conceived with Down's Syndrome. The UK Gospel Witness, including a group of reformed pastors, will be gathering at the U.K. Parliament building on Thursday, to call the nation and its leaders to repentance. Pray for this outreach.

What does it mean to be the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in a world where shared language about faith, salvation, and community seems to be slipping away? In this roundtable episode of the Future Christian Podcast, host Martha Tatarnic is joined by Loren Richmond Jr., Dennis Sanders, and David Emery for a deep conversation on the past, present, and future of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Together they wrestle with what “No Creed but Christ” means today—and how this historic movement can renew its theological identity in a rapidly changing culture. This conversation explores: Why “No creed but Christ” was once revolutionary—and what it might mean now How Disciples' emphasis on inclusion and open communion can recover deeper theological grounding The tension between progressive activism and theological clarity The role of preaching, formation, and leadership in shaping discipleship Why local churches—and not denominational structures—are key to renewal Signs of hope and new life emerging in Disciples congregations across North America If you've ever wondered how denominations can stay rooted in the Gospel while adapting to modern realities, this episode offers an honest, hopeful look at faithful innovation and renewal in the mainline church. Dennis Sanders is an ordained Disciples of Christ minister and lead pastor of First Christian Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. A native of Flint, Michigan and big fan of the Detroit Tigers and Lions, Dennis is also a communications specialist for a Lutheran congregation in the Twin Cities and is the host of the Church and Main podcast, which tries to live out Karl Barth's quote of reading the Bible and the newspaper and interpreting the news through the Bible. Dennis lives in Minneapolis with his husband Daniel and their cats. David Emery is the Lead Pastor of Harvard Avenue Christian Church in Tulsa, OK. David is a passionate preacher, compassionate pastor, and adept leader whose understanding of the Gospel and vision for the church help our congregation fulfill our mission to live and love like Jesus. David has a reputation for growing churches, reaching new people, and transforming lives in every church he has served throughout his ministry, which includes congregations in Arkansas, Texas, and Kentucky. He holds a Master's of Divinity from Vanderbilt. If you were to ask David what his favorite scripture passage is, he would tell you: “Whatever I'm preaching on this week!” An avid runner and multiple-marathoner, when David isn't on the trail or in the pulpit, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Teresa, and their children and grandchildren.

Life with bipolar disorder often feels like a constant battle, so being told to find hope can seem like a cruel joke. But what if hope isn't naïve — it's necessary? In this episode, Gabe Howard, who lives with bipolar disorder, and Dr. Nicole Washington dive deep into the real, practical power of hope and how to find it even when it feels impossible. From planning something to look forward to, to saying “yes” to new experiences, they explore small, science-backed ways to keep hope alive. Gabe shares personal stories about concerts, silly dance videos, and even late-night wrestling shows that reignited his optimism, while Dr. Nicole breaks down why hope isn't just wishful thinking — it's a key part of recovery.

There are a lot of reasons why government shutdowns are harmful. The impact on the nation's cyber defenses is certainly one of those reasons, but it's also difficult to measure. We do know that significant percentages of cyber personnel are furloughed, including more than half the staff at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. But for a deeper look at some of the less tangible impacts, we're joined now by Justin Miller. He's a former Secret Service special agent who specialized in cyber investigations – now an associate professor of cyber studies at the University of Tulsa.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Fletch Wiley's story is one of relentless divine pursuit. From a drug-addicted jazz musician who wanted nothing to do with Christianity to a Grammy-nominated producer and writer, his transformation is remarkable. He shares vivid memories of being chased down by God in a Tulsa hotel room, experiencing instant deliverance from addiction, and miraculous healing that confirmed his new faith. His journey took him from playing alongside legends like Doc Severinsen to spending years as Andrae Crouch's trumpet player during the groundbreaking days of contemporary Christian music. In this conversation, Fletch opens up about traveling to 13 countries in recent years with his wife, playing music on streets from Turkey to India, and encouraging volunteer musicians around the world. He offers fascinating insights into the early Jesus movement, the wild west days of Christian music at events like Explo 72, and why he believes every musical style can be used to glorify God. His passion for worship through music remains as fresh today as it was when he first encountered Jesus over 50 years ago. WEBLINKS God Doesn't Play Fair (Book)
