We're living in a moment where a teenager with a phone can shape theology faster than a pastor with a Bible—and the result is confusion, compromise, and a “feel-good” faith that can't save. In this eye-opening conversation, Mike Winger joins me to expose what's really driving digital discipleship, why “almost right” theology spreads so fast, and what parents, pastors, and leaders can do right now to anchor the next generation in Scripture—before the algorithm does.

Ministry teaches you a lot about endurance—but it also teaches you about discernment.In this episode, we share an important conversation we've spent a lot of time praying through. It's one we didn't arrive at quickly or lightly, but one that came through unity, clarity, and a deep trust in God's leading.We talk honestly about calling, capacity, and what faithfulness looks like when God invites you to respond differently than you expected. This episode includes a meaningful announcement, along with reflections on obedience, grief, gratitude, and hope for what God is still doing—both now and in the future.If you've ever found yourself navigating a transition you didn't see coming, or wondering how to follow God when the next step requires letting go, this conversation is for you.Thank you for listening, walking with us, and trusting us with your hearts in this space.Get all the info about our next pastors' wives retreat and apply here:https://www.pastorswivestellall.com/attendaretreatTo purchase the BOOK, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/bookTo shop our MERCH, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/shopWant to support the Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast ministry?

JOHN 13:18-38 - JESUS PREDICTS BETRAYAL - BRIAN SUMNER - 2025JOHN 13:18-38 "I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.' 19 Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He. 20 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”21 When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.” 22 Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom He spoke.23 Now there was [d]leaning on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24 Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.25 Then, leaning back on Jesus' breast, he said to Him, “Lord, who is it?”26 Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it.” And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27 Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” 28 But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him. 29 For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, “Buy those things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.30 Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.The New Commandment31 So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him. 32 If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and glorify Him immediately. 33 Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,' so now I say to you. 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”"To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY.

JOHN 14:1-14 - THE WAY TRUTH LIFE - BRIAN SUMNER - 2025JOHN 14:1-14 "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.” 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father'? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. 13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it."To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY.

From the killing of a protestor in Minneapolis, to the continued demonizing of Americans of differing points of view, the chaos of politics is working hard to move us away from the way of Christ. Pastors lead congregations to support the killing of children in Gaza. TPUSA leaks celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk as God's way of lifting up Erika and her leather pants grinding on VP eyeliner JD Vance. Family models are inverted to put the woman as Alpha and man as Beta. The nation is just accepting it as if waiting for it to end or some magical salvation that takes away our responsibility.

Try the BibleACTS app!: https://bibleacts.goodbarber.app Or try Online Bible College here: https://5lxiiva.pushpress.com/open/interested In this episode, we continue our verse-by-verse teaching through 1 Timothy 3:6–7, addressing two often-ignored but critical qualifications for church leadership: a leader must not be a novice and must have a good reputation with those outside the church. We explain why Scripture forbids placing new believers into leadership, and why time is required to prove character, consistency, and spiritual maturity. Leadership in the church is not about gifting or excitement — it is about tested faithfulness over time. In this episode, we discuss: What Paul means by “not a novice” Why spiritual maturity requires time, not talent How pride and premature leadership can lead to downfall Why a leader's reputation among unbelievers matters The necessity of consistent godly character both inside and outside the church Why leadership must be affirmed beyond one's immediate community This episode is essential for: Pastors and elders Aspiring leaders and ministry workers Churches evaluating leadership biblically Believers who want to understand God's standards for leadership Subscribe for more verse-by-verse Bible teaching, biblical theology, and clear conversations on church leadership and discipleship. #1Timothy3 #ChurchLeadership #BiblicalQualifications #BibleTeaching #ChristianPodcast #PastoralLeadership #AboveReproach

In this short and spirited episode of Pastors' Wives Tell All, we're talking about one surprisingly divisive topic: thrifting.Some of us absolutely love the hunt—the thrill of a good deal and the satisfaction of a hidden gem. Others thrift out of sheer necessity, stretching budgets and making things work in real life and ministry. And then there are those of us who walk into a thrift store and feel… completely overwhelmed.With plenty of laughter and honest banter, we share our different relationships with thrifting, how personality and season of life play into it, and why something as simple as shopping secondhand can bring out strong opinions. No deep theology here—just real life, real laughs, and the reminder that we're all wired differently.Whether you're a seasoned thrifter, a reluctant bargain-hunter, or someone who prefers to walk right back out, you'll feel seen in this one.Get all the info about our next pastors' wives retreat and apply here:https://www.pastorswivestellall.com/attendaretreatTo purchase the BOOK, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/bookTo shop our MERCH, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/shopWant to support the Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast ministry?

It's Thursday, January 29th, A.D. 2026. 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 Jonathan Clark Evangelical college fired teacher for calling homosexual behavior sin A Christian teacher in England went to court last week to defend his religious freedom. Dr. Aaron Edwards worked at Cliff College in Derbyshire. Three years ago, the Evangelical college fired him after he called homosexuality a sin in a social media post. Edwards is now appealing a tribunal decision that upheld his dismissal with the help of the Christian Legal Centre. Andrea Williams, chief executive of the organization, said, "This case raises serious questions about freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and the lawful limits of institutional authority.” Referencing Acts 4:20, Edwards said he does not regret speaking the truth, saying, “As the apostles said before their accusers, ‘We cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.'” Euthanasia bill failed in French Senate A bill to legalize euthanasia failed in France's Senate last week. Political deadlock among lawmakers effectively killed the bill. Gregor Puppinck is the Director General of the European Centre for Law and Justice. He said, “This text was terrible. It allowed euthanasia and suicide by decision of a single doctor, at the oral request of a patient, in three days, without the relatives being informed and able to take legal action.” Canada euthanized elderly woman against her will Meanwhile, in Canada, an elderly woman was tragically euthanized against her will through the country's Medical Assistance in Dying program. This according to a report by the Office of the Chief Coroner. The report identified the 80-year-old woman as “Mrs. B.” She initially expressed interest in the program. But later, she wanted to withdraw her request, “citing personal and religious values and beliefs.” However, assessors with the euthanasia program approved the killing after her husband reported experiencing “caregiver burnout.” Proverbs 12:10 says, “The tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” Canada backs off deal with China after Trump tariff threat Canada reached a preliminary agreement with China earlier this month to lower tariffs on certain goods. However, U.S. President Trump criticized the deal. He wrote on Truth Social, “If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A.” In response, Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney backed off the agreement with China. Federal Reserve didn't change interest rate In the United States, the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged yesterday. The central bank decided to keep its key lending rate between 3.5 percent and 3.75 percent. The Fed noted, “Available indicators suggest that economic activity has been expanding at a solid pace. Job gains have remained low, and the unemployment rate has shown some signs of stabilization. Inflation remains somewhat elevated.” Fewer U.S. pastors leaving ministry A new survey from the Barna Group found fewer pastors are considering walking away from the ministry. Twenty-four percent of U.S. senior Protestant pastors say they have seriously considered leaving full-time ministry within the past year. That's down from 42 percent in 2022. Pastoral burnout heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic but has been stabilizing since then. The report noted, “Fewer pastors appear to be in immediate vocational crisis, even as many continue to carry fatigue, grief, and uncertainty about the future of ministry.” Today is birthday of Martin Luther's wife And finally, today marks the birthday of Katharina Von Bora, the wife of Martin Luther. She was born on January 29, 1499. Her mother died in childhood and she was sent to a Catholic boarding school before becoming a nun. At the convent, Katharina discovered the writings of Martin Luther. Along with other nuns, she learned about salvation by grace through faith in Christ. This led Katharina and the nuns to ask Luther for help to escape the convent. Luther was able to help the nuns find husbands and jobs, except for Katharina. The two were eventually married. Together, they had six children. Author Michelle DeRusha described Katharina as “a woman who risked marrying one of the most controversial men of the time – a man who could have very likely been burned as a heretic at any given moment. She was a woman who raised six children; ran a boardinghouse; oversaw a farm complete with fruit orchards, livestock, and a fishpond; and advised and cared for her husband.” Consider an excellent, full-color, beautifully illustrated children's book about her entitled Katharine von Bora: The Morning Star of Wittenberg. It is co-authored by Shanna and Jenna Strackbein, twin sisters who were homeschooled in Aransas Pass, Texas, by their beloved mother Jenny. Joel Beeke, President of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan said, "Boys and girls (and adults too) will love this beautiful book about a godly woman who helped to change the world."

When pastors fall into sexual sin, adultery, or moral failure, the impact on churches, families, and individual believers can be devastating. In this episode of Redeeming Truth from Redeemer Bible Church, Pastor Jon Benzinger sits down with our pastors and biblical counselors to speak honestly about fallen pastors, pastoral disqualification, and how Christians can process betrayal while rebuilding trust in Christ—not in men. Drawing from real-life stories of hidden sin, long-term affairs, and leaders disqualified from ministry, this conversation addresses: Why sound theology—even Reformed doctrine—alone cannot keep a pastor from falling How discontentment, lust, pride, and heart-level idolatry fuel secret sin The ripple effects of pastoral failure on marriages, children, congregations, and communities Why pastors are "but men" who need accountability, prayer, and close fellowship How believers can grieve rightly while keeping their eyes fixed on Jesus You'll also hear: A sobering account of a large church shattered by a long-hidden affair Counseling insights on trust, trauma, disillusionment, and church discipline Biblical warnings from Luke 4:13; 1 Timothy 4:16; James 1; Romans 13, and more Why discontentment often becomes the gateway sin to adultery and moral failure Howard Hendricks' findings from thousands of fallen pastors—and what they all had stopped doing If you've been hurt by a fallen pastor, fear it could happen where you worship, or are a pastor who wants to finish well, this episode offers sober warning, biblical clarity, and gospel hope.
In this episode, the Gottesdienst Crowd welcomes back Jarryd Allison—former MARSOC officer and current software engineer—for a conversation with David Petersen on pastoral formation, accountability, and courage in the Office of the Ministry. Drawing on the rigor of special operations training, the panel raises necessary questions: If the eternal stakes of the ministry are higher, should the training and evaluation of pastors be more demanding? Why do nearly all seminarians graduate, yet so many pastors leave within the first years of ministry? Together they explore attrition, peer evaluation, ongoing training, lay responsibility, catechesis, and the need for humility, standards, and perseverance—arguing that the Church must recover a serious, formative approach to preparing men for the weight of preaching Christ, teaching the faith, and caring for souls.

Pastors worldwide struggle with time management, often leading to burnout and strained relationships. This article explores the importance of effective time management strategies which are crucial for sustaining pastors' ministry and well-being.
In this episode of The Mission Matters, Matthew and Ted are joined by Bradley Bell, Executive Director of Upstream Equipping, to discuss Bradley and Ted's newly released book, Missiology for Mission Pastors.Written specifically for those leading missions within the local church, this book addresses a growing gap. Many missions pastors and directors find themselves in the role with deep passion but little formal missiological training. Rather than offering a dense academic textbook, this collaborative volume provides a gospel-centered, biblically grounded, and practically applicable framework for missions leadership.Bradley and Ted unpack why this book was needed now, how missions leaders are currently being formed, and why mobilization inside the local church is just as critical as engagement with the field. Drawing from diverse voices, including global perspectives, the book equips missions leaders to think clearly, act wisely, and steward their role faithfully.This conversation also explores the internal and external responsibilities of missions pastors, the role of lead pastors in shaping missions culture, and why mobilization should be viewed not as recruitment, but as an invitation into God's redemptive story.The Mission Matters Podcast is a place to talk about the importance of our Mission as Christians. The Mission Matters is a partnership of Missio Nexus and Sixteen:Fifteen, who have a shared passion to mobilize God's people to be a part of His mission.

All history is a history of warfare. Christians understand that history is the outworking of man's Fall. Another fruit of the Fall is that man always tends to avoid conflict, hoping the issues will resolve themselves. Pastors and elders in the church must first be convinced that there will always be conflict in the church and that putting off entering into that conflict will make it worse. If you avoid conflict and heading off the wolves at the pass, the wolves will choose the hill, the weapons, and the time of year for the fight. Pastors and elders are responsible for anticipating the conflict. They must have a faith-filled resignation to conflict to fulfill their calling to guard the sheep. It is a defining weakness of our generation that pastors want to focus on the positive and collect men by the positive. We talk about discipleship, building things up, and growth, then we do our utmost to blind ourselves to threats. Good shepherds see what they see and engage.***Out of Our Minds Podcast: Pastors Who Say What They Think.

In this episode of the Covenant Eyes Podcast, host Karen Potter is joined by Seth Gruber, speaker, filmmaker, and founder of The White Rose Resistance, for a wide-ranging conversation on faith, discipleship, and the church's responsibility to engage cultural challenges with clarity and courage.Seth shares why the Christian worldview offers a coherent framework for understanding modern cultural struggles, how faith speaks to both personal integrity and public life, and why pastors and church leaders play a vital role in equipping believers to live virtuously in a complex world.This episode is a call to move beyond silence and isolation—encouraging churches to disciple boldly, protect human dignity, and help people find hope, healing, and freedom through the gospel.✨ Episode Topics Discussed• Why the Christian worldview offers clarity in confusing cultural moments• How faith addresses both personal integrity and societal issues• The role of pastors in discipling believers for everyday life• Why courage and conviction matter in Christian leadership• How digital habits shape hearts, minds, and relationships• The importance of protecting human dignity at every stage of life• Why discipleship must address real-world challenges• Hope for the next generation and the opportunity before the church• Why accountability and community are essential for spiritual health• Equipping believers to live with purpose, conviction, and grace
FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye - Healthy Leadership for Life and Ministry
Emerging generations are asking hard questions of the church—and many aren't finding the answers they're looking for. In this compelling highlight from our longer conversation, guest Efrem Smith joins host Jason Daye to explore what younger generations often find missing in the American church and why those gaps matter for the future of faith communities.Efrem unpacks how a lack of visible diversity, limited use of modern communication tools, and minimal social or civic engagement can create distance between churches and the multicultural, justice-oriented world younger generations navigate every day. He explains why churches that fail to reflect the diversity of God's kingdom—or to embody the good news of Jesus in both word and action— often struggle to connect with emerging generations.Together, Efrem and Jason address the deep skepticism many young adults carry, shaped by constant exposure to broken systems, public failures, and nonstop media. Rather than responding defensively, this conversation invites church leaders into a hopeful, self-reflective posture rooted in the incarnational way of Jesus—one that practices humility, proximity, and embodied love in the neighborhood.Drawing from the Gospels and the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well, Efrem highlights the need for “embodied apologetics”—not just declaring truth, but demonstrating it through compassion, justice, and authentic engagement with the vulnerable.This conversation is a must-watch for:Pastors and church leaders seeking to reach emerging generationsMinistry leaders navigating cultural change and generational disconnectChurches wrestling with diversity, justice, and community impactChristians longing for a faith that is both proclaimed and practicedKey Topics Discussed:What younger generations feel is missing in many churchesDiversity, technology, and relevance in a multicultural worldWhy skepticism toward the church is growingIncarnational ministry and Jesus' posture toward cultureEmbodied apologetics: practicing the gospel, not just preaching itEngaging neighborhoods through humility, justice, and love

ChristFit Faith In Training Part 3: Resolve to EndureBill CorleyOriginal Air Date: 2026.01.25We believe The Bible, God's word, is inspired by Him, through the Holy Spirit and is sufficient for everything you need in life – guidance, wisdom, strength, encouragement and HOPE.

What if the very things disrupting your life are actually part of God's invitation?In this episode of Pastors' Wives Tell All, we have an honest, relatable conversation about inconvenience—the kind that sneaks into ministry, parenting, marriage, and personal growth. From interrupted schedules to stretched capacities, we explore how calling often requires adjustments we didn't plan for and structures we didn't ask to change.We talk candidly about how home life is not separate from ministry—it is ministry—and why embracing inconvenience can actually open the door to unexpected blessing, deeper growth, and renewed spiritual focus. Along the way, we unpack the danger of an all-or-nothing mindset, the role of self-control in sustaining long-term faithfulness, and why sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is return to the basics.If you've been feeling stretched, distracted, or quietly resentful of how “inconvenient” obedience has become, this episode is for you.Get all the info about our next pastors' wives retreat and apply here:https://www.pastorswivestellall.com/attendaretreatTo purchase the BOOK, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/bookTo shop our MERCH, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/shopWant to support the Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast ministry?

Pastors, I think you would agree, are not a monolithic set. They come in all shapes and sizes. They have different gifts, different personalities, different reasons for being. But though this is true, too often only one variety of pastor is valued. And that is a shame, and a hard pill to swallow for many pastors who are serving the church well, but who do not fit the valued model. In this, the first of three resets that first were released in early 2022, I want to explore ideas that swirl around pastoral self identity. First, we consider the visionary.

God is really into putting His name on people. He has instructed his priests/pastors to do this ever since Sinai. So for over 3000 years this has been occurring in God's community. In this podcast the Pastors are joined by Vicar Aaron as we talk about the significance of being blessed in this way.

"But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,' and not do the things which I say? Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: He is like a man building a house, who dug deep andlaid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great." - Luke 6:46-49 NKJVRestore Church | Yorkville, ILSunday Mornings | 10 AMJordan & Melissa Gash, Pastorshttps://www.restorechurchyorkville.com
What do you think of when you here the word pastor? Peter says, "be subject to the pastors." Is this command to us? Are we bound to obey a man with the title of pastor?
