Guiding Question: What should Christians do when they have a dispute with another believer—and how does our response reflect our spiritual maturity? Summary: Robert Lewis addresses the growing tendency, both culturally and within the church, to resolve disputes through lawsuits rather than biblical reconciliation. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 6, he critiques the Corinthian church's behavior—suing fellow believers before secular courts—and parallels it with modern America's litigious spirit. The issue isn't legal rights, he explains, but spiritual priorities and witness. Paul's rebuke in 1 Corinthians centers on the fact that believers, destined to judge the world and even angels in the coming Kingdom, are settling minor disputes before unbelievers. Robert emphasizes that real-world spirituality demands a higher, kingdom-minded response. He presents three options for handling legitimate disputes among believers: Court litigation with shame – A believer sues another, damaging relationships and the church's witness. Church arbitration with wisdom – Mature, trained believers help mediate and resolve conflict honorably within the church. Personal resignation with loss – Willingly taking the loss to uphold the unity of the body and honor Christ. Robert carefully distinguishes between legitimate disputes and criminal or unrepentant sin. He clarifies that issues like fraud or abuse may require legal action and should not be shielded by misapplying this passage. He closes by urging listeners to commit: before ever thinking of court, reach out to the church and seek help from trained peacemakers. Not only is this biblical—it's a path to preserving relationships, protecting the church's integrity, and experiencing the abundance Christ offers. Key Takeaways: Suing fellow believers over legitimate disputes brings shame and dishonors Christ. The church should be the first place we seek resolution through wise arbitration. Sometimes, spiritual maturity calls us to willingly take a loss for the sake of unity. Criminal actions or unrepentant sin are not covered by this passage and may require legal recourse. Practicing real-world spirituality means honoring Christ even in conflict.

"Live a life worthy of the calling by which you have been called." Knowing the high calling on the church in Ephesians 1-3, how could we ever live up to it? By God's grace we have been given gifts to equip us for the worthy life.08-06-2025 - Lucas Durant
Psalm 15 provides incredible detail on what the life of a mature disciple of Christ looks like, someone who is following through on the commitment to Jesus' lordship. Join us as we study this beautiful psalm.
Tim continues our series on the book of Ephesians, looking at Ephesians 5:1-21. This section follows straight on from chapter 4, taking us into the practical side of mature love. In short, mature love looks like something. The Kingdom of God does require something of us in terms of our behaviour. But, it is critical to know that our behaviour doesn't define our identity or our standing before God. The process of maturing brings our behaviour into sync with the identity and standing we already have. Verse 6 gives us a warning - DON'T BE FOOLED BY THOSE WHO TELL YOU OTHERWISE! We will be called to give an account for what we have done with what God has put in us. This is not a salvation issue, but it is a reward issue, and heaven's reward system is not equal.
Ever wonder what it really means to grow in your faith?In this honest and grace-filled conversation, Pastors Dave and Jeff sit down to unpack what spiritual maturity looks like—and what might be holding you back. This isn't a lecture—it's a real talk about the journey from surface-level faith to a deeper, more authentic walk with Jesus.We explore questions like:Why do I still feel stuck in my faith?What does maturity actually look like?How can I grow without falling into religious performance?Whether you're new to faith or have been following Jesus for years, this discussion is here to encourage you, challenge you, and help you take your next step forward.
Hi friends, Bralynn here! In this deep and joy-filled conversation with my dear friend Virginia Killingsworth, we covered so much ground—from divine downloads and spiritual blueprints to real-world tech struggles and how to steward God-given visions through mentorship, strategy, and community. We laughed, reminisced, and got very real about the challenges and rewards of stepping into something new.Virginia opened up about the spiritual initiation that launched her next phase, how God handed her a blueprint, and what it's really taken to bring that vision to life. We talked about the beautiful tension between deep spiritual formation and practical logistics, how groups can become containers for transformation, and why this online era is a lifeline for kingdom pioneers scattered across the globe.Whether you're building a mentoring group, pioneering new territory, or just trying to follow what God's put in your heart, this conversation will both inspire and equip you. Enjoy!BIO: For over 30 years, Virginia Killingsworth has ministered to children, teens, and families in residential settings and has pastored people in a vast array of situations. She accesses the wisdom of heaven to enable people to understand and cooperate with the Father throughout their unique spiritual maturation process. She is skilled at untangling even the most complex stronghold and releasing Holy Spirit's healing and freedom into the deep places of the soul. Her passion is to help people identify and walk in the fullness of their destinies and to live victoriously from heaven to earth.HIGHLIGHTS:Your blueprint comes with grace.When God gives you a vision, He also releases the grace to walk it out—but you have to partner with Him for learning and stewarding it according to His will. Spiritual maturity unlocks new levels of authority and responsibility.Spiritual downloads require natural action.Receiving a divine strategy isn't enough; implementation matters. That's where support, systems, and mentors come in.Spirit-led deconstruction is not destruction — it's transformation.Virginia talked about how God sometimes brings “total annihilation” — not to destroy us, but to prune, refine, and rebuild on a Kingdom blueprint. It's not always comfy, but it's deeply fruitful.We're in a cosmic shift — the old wineskin is being dismantled.This isn't just a personal journey. We're all living in a time where God is shaking up systems, structures, and spiritual norms. The old container can't hold what's coming — and that includes how we do groups, church, and business.Don't Abandon Connection—Redefine ItJust because the old church model is fading doesn't mean we're not meant to gather. We're wired for connection, so we need to ask: “What does the new thing look like, and how do we birth it?”Hold Fast to Eternal PrinciplesWe can't throw out the core truths—but we must let go of the forms they once took. Not everyone is in the same place spiritually—designing entry points into your community and setting expectations keeps the group strong.Ecclesia is not a hangout.It's not even a prayer and worship gathering. True ecclesia is governmental—it's about authority, alignment, getting Father's will for a situation and bringing heaven's justice into the earth.You need language alignment.A shared vocabulary builds unity. Courses or launch pads help bring group members to the same spiritual "page."Tech will make or break your group.Free tools often don't integrate well. Investing in good tech saves massive headaches later.It's okay to phase your business.Don't launch everything at once. Tier your offers and grow with grace—just like Virginia's 3-tier mentorship model.Mentorship requires flexibility and flow.It's not one-size-fits-all. Be prepared to adjust and pivot as your group's needs emerge.Kingdom communities must be cultivated.Many people don't have a church that speaks their language. Online mentoring groups fill that gap beautifully.Don't despise humble beginnings.Rocky starts, tech challenges, and clunky systems are part of the process—God still uses them.Teaching vs. facilitating is a balance.Mature groups don't always need constant teaching—they need space to practice governing, collaborate, and grow.God is in the structure, too.Strategy, systems, tech, and leadership all carry the anointing when they're aligned with His vision.LINKS for VIRGINIA:– Join Overshadowed: Virginia's group mentorship program—birthed by a divine blueprint and brought to life through practical support (shout-out to Bralynn!).

Guiding Question: What kind of spirituality actually works in real life—and how do the cross and the Holy Spirit make it possible? Summary: Robert Lewis dives into the heart of “real-world spirituality” through Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 2. Speaking to the sophisticated, style-obsessed Corinthians, Paul came not with flair or polished rhetoric but with a plain and simple message centered on Christ crucified. His lack of impressive speech was deliberate—it was the cross, not charisma, that carried power. Robert unpacks two essential pillars of life-transforming faith: Deeply Embrace the Cross – Real spirituality starts with dying to self. Without the cross, compromise creeps in, and spiritual growth stalls. Like the Corinthians, many believers today live forgiven but powerless lives because they resist the daily dying that unleashes resurrection power. Robert illustrates this with compelling stories—from a man who found freedom and generosity after surrendering financial control, to a broken father-son relationship healed by humility and repentance. The point: no death, no power. But on the other side of the cross is life, healing, and glory. Deeply Engage the Holy Spirit – Beyond self-denial, real spirituality includes a dynamic, intimate partnership with the Holy Spirit. He reveals God's thoughts to us, offers conviction, direction, and encouragement, and empowers discernment. Without the Spirit, believers grow spiritually dull, operating like a spiritual rover on Mars—barely receiving God's signal. But with the Spirit, believers gain wisdom, spiritual insight, and intimacy with God. Robert closes with two reflective questions for listeners: Where do you need to die to yourself? Do you want to be closer to God? He urges listeners to begin each day by surrendering to the cross and inviting the Holy Spirit in—plain and simple. Key Takeaways: Real spirituality isn't flashy—it's crucified and Spirit-filled. Without dying to self, we will always compromise God's best. The cross leads to spiritual power, freedom, and relational healing. The Holy Spirit enables daily intimacy with God and insight for living. Mature believers experience both the cost and the glory of following Christ. Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 2:1–16 (Paul's plain message and reliance on the Spirit) 2 Corinthians 10:10 (criticism of Paul's unimpressive presence) Mark 8:34 (Jesus on taking up your cross) Galatians 2:20 (being crucified with Christ) Malachi 3:10 (tithing and God's promise) 1 Corinthians 3:1–2 (immature believers) Philippians 4:13; 2 Corinthians 2:14 (power in Christ) Sermon 1/25/2004

It takes years for a couple's love to reach full maturity. After years together, Solomon's love for his bride has fully matured, and the fruit of their love has fully bloomed. As their love matured, they began to see each other's deepest beauty. Growing in the deepest bonds of intimacy takes time and intentionality for a couple. Solomon says that just as the best wine takes time, so does the deepest joy of marriage intimacy. The imagery in Song of Solomon 7 portrays marriage as a garden and the wife as a vineyard. If marriage is a garden, husbands are the lead gardeners. To pick the sweetest fruit in marriage is truly costly. Like any fruitful garden, it doesn't come cheap, and it won't come easy. It takes work, time, attention, and intention. How husbands can create the right climate for their wives to thrive: 1. Value her unconditionally. 2. Initiate intentional conversations. 3. Nurture trust and security. 4. Empty yourself into sacrificial service. You have to work in your garden, but you will be blessed and happy if you do it God's way. The abundant life is found in working obediently, loving faithfully, and living in transparency. Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he walks through Song of Solomon 7 and teaches men how to be gardeners in their marriages to nurture a mature love.
As we continue our journey through 1 Timothy, we come to a topic that was just as vital in the early church as it is today—the role of men and women in the life of the church. It's a subject that invites humility, clarity, and a desire to honor God's design for His people. Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:8-14

If you want to see a well-behaved garden, visit one that is about 3 years old. Three years is about the time it takes for plants to settle in and grow a bit. But it's not long enough for most plants to get out of hand and start moving around. Even in the first seven years or so it is usually still possible to see some semblance of the original design that the gardener intended. Actually, though, I once read that most gardens need to be redone about every seven years. Unfortunately, I read this useful information too late to help my own garden. It had definitely already taken the leadership role away from me by then. I am beginning to believe that unless the gardener is a very disciplined individual, the plants are really in charge of a garden after just a few years. Look at the way they hop around and self-sow and get out of their original bounds. One day we put them here, and quite suddenly they are there. Many plants are extraordinarily adaptable. This sometimes happens when trees die and suddenly a shade garden is in full sun. I have some vigorous and healthy masses of epimedium and hellebores that seem to love living in full sunshine, even though they are supposed to prefer growing in the shade. Mature gardens, like mature people certainly seem to have minds of their own. The good news is that a little serendipity in a garden certainly seems to add to its charm.

Joseph Fielding Smith, a towering figure in the 20th-century Latter-day Saint landscape, is often remembered as a theologian and Church leader. But his long tenure as Church Historian also positioned him as a key interpreter of Mormon history, an area where his approach offers a fascinating case study in the relationship between faith, perspective, and the writing of the past. Our recent discussion drawing from the sources explored this complex legacy, highlighting Smith's contributions alongside critical insights into the nature of historical objectivity and bias. https://youtu.be/EyAoFsz9mn0 Church Historian When Joseph Fielding Smith became Church Historian, he faced the significant challenge of organizing sprawling, uncatalogued collections. He initiated processes that professionalized the church archives, particularly after World War II, by creating finding aids, dividing materials into collections, making lists, and microfilming documents. However, from the perspective of a professional academic historian, Smith's method of engaging with historical sources differed markedly. He treated certain documents, like the Bible and those produced by figures he considered revelators such as Joseph Smith Jr. and Joseph F. Smith, as entirely reliable and didn't subject them to critical interrogation. This lack of "suspicion of sources"—the practice of asking who wrote a document, when, and what biases they might have—is highlighted as a key distinction between Smith and professional academics. His influential book, Essentials in Church History, exemplifies this approach, treating "official LDS sources" uncritically, yet it became a foundational text shaping LDS understanding of their history for decades. This brings us to a core concept in academic historical study: the non-existence of "objective history." Writing academic history itself is considered a bias. The aim for professional historians is not to eliminate bias, which is seen as impossible, but rather to be acutely aware of bias—both in the sources they use and in their own perspectives—and to account for it in their work. This requires adhering to methods and principles developed over generations of scholarship. Mature scholarship involves being frank about one's own point of view and how it might influence interpretations. Trying to pretend one is objective is seen as a mistake. Richard Bushman is presented as an example of a scholar who openly discusses his background and how it might shape his work. RLDS Polygamy Skeptics The sources also reveal how bias can influence not just conclusions, but the very questions a historian thinks to ask—or doesn't ask. While "motivated reasoning" (steering sources to a predetermined conclusion) exists, it might be less common than bias manifesting in the kinds of questions that arise from a historian's background and positionality. The discussion used the example of Richard and Pamela Price's hypothesis regarding the influence of Cochranites on the Quorum of the Twelve and the practice of polygamy. While the Prices found evidence of contact between the groups, they reportedly don't account for the significant chronological gap between this contact and the public announcement of polygamy. This failure to ask about or explain this gap is suggested as stemming from their predisposition to believe the Quorum of the Twelve were the originators of polygamy. Most Influential Writer Joseph Fielding Smith was a prolific writer. Beyond Essentials in Church History, other notable works include The Way to Perfection, a narrative history of humanity from pre-existence to afterlife, where he explicitly stated his views on race. He also authored Man His Origin and Destiny (1954), which he considered his most important book, responding to higher criticism of the Bible and the theory of evolution. Perhaps his most widely read work during his lifetime was his "My Question" column in the Improvement Era church magazine,

Sunday May 25, 2025 at the Hub City Church On Guard Against Gospel Drift | Galatians 2:11-14 World Upside Down Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes: ACCOUNTABILITY is ESSENTIAL in the church because EVERY CHRISTIAN is SUSCEPTIBLE to gospel DRIFT. “We need accountability. Left to our own devices, we will soon devise or succumb to all kinds of evil. As Christians we know that we need other believers to hold us to the standards of Scripture. Life is far too difficult and we are far too sinful to live in solitude. We need community. We need accountability. And God has anticipated our need by giving us the local church as the primary means of this accountability.” — Tim Challies - No matter how MATURE in faith, we ALL continue to have indwelling SIN that must be DEALT with. Romans 7:15,18-19 // 1 John 1:8 - Biblical COMMUNITY affords relational PROXIMITY which affords healthy OPPORTUNITY for others to see our sinful PROCLIVITIES. Proverbs 18:1 // Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 // Proverbs 27:17 - The Bible presents CORRECTION by those who love CHRIST and love US, not as something we should FEAR but something we should DESIRE. Proverbs 9:8, 27:6 // Psalm 141:5 // Hebrews 3:13 - While strong, PUBLIC REBUKE is sometimes necessary, ORDINARILY correction should take the form of a GENTLE and relatively PRIVATE APPEAL to BELIEVE the gospel AFRESH. Matthew 18:15 // Galatians 6:1 // 2 Timothy 2:24-25 The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.

In this episode of the Deer IQ podcast I'm with a north woods buck tracker - Nathan Nelson, as we look at how to find and track down big bucks. Now, since he's in the boonies, the reception is bad and there's some bad lip sink going on in a few areas as well as Nathan looking as pixelated as a minecraft character. But, I thought this was a very interesting episode for those who have thought about what it would take to take up a track, find the buck that made it, and kill it - something I've never done quite like this. And also, even if you don't live in a ideal area to do this, there is great application to everyone in acquiring the skill of tracking, and how it can make us better hunters. So here are the top things to look for during this episode:• Exactly where should you start when trying to track down a big buck - what is the key first step?• What does Nathan look for in a track that tells him to commit to it, or not?• As you track, what sign are you looking for to tell you if you should speed up, or slow down in your pursuit?• What is the best terrain and conditions for tracking and getting on a mature buck?• What type of gear is best suited for doing this - he goes through his list?• What should you do when you lose a track, and when should you give up?• And what is the mental game involved in this type of hunting, and how can you win it to help seal the deal?

Hey everyone, welcome to the Truth From The Stand podcast. In this episode, I'm catching up with Tom Murphy—a guy who knows his way around a ball field, and the big woods! We cover some ground in this one. We dig into how growing up with rock and metal shaped us, how pro sports and bowhunting both demand a gritty mindset, and how the traditions we're raised with show up in the woods whether we realize it or not. Tom opens up about a specific buck that taught him hard lessons—the kind that don't show up on a trail cam. We talk about swampy, unforgiving terrain, and why sometimes, in both hunting and life, your best bet is to stop chasing perfection and just trust your gut. This one's about the crossover—where baseball meets bowhunting, where mindset trumps data, and where growing up with a little chip on your shoulder turns out to be your greatest asset. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 441 Lifting weights, chasing deer, and traveling for pro sports all come with discomfort—but they build resilience. Hunting swamps in New York requires the same gut instincts and patience that make good ballplayers and better hunters. Understanding a buck's personality can be just as important as reading sign or camera data. Balancing aggression with patience—and why sometimes you've got to push the pace to grow. The “weed mentality” comes up—thriving without support, adapting on the fly, and finding a way to win in tough terrain. Whether you're behind a bat or behind a bow, success often comes down to one thing: trusting your gut and pulling the trigger.

Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my DISCIPLE must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. (NIV) Matthew 7:21–23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ (NIV) 1. The Salvation Stage 2. The Milk Stage 1 Peter 2:2-3 Like newborn INFANTS, long for the pure spiritual MILK, that by it you may GROW UP into salvation 3 If indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. (ESV) 1 Corinthians 3:1–3 Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere INFANTS in Christ. 2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. 3 You are STILL WORLDLY. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? (NIV) Hebrews 5:13 for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. (ESV) 3. The Maturing Stage 1 Peter 1:14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. (NIV) Hebrews 5:14 But solid food is for the MATURE, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. (NIV) 4. The Others Stage Ephesians 4:12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, (ESV) 4A. Mature Christians Get Connected to Other Christians 4B. Mature Christians Get Equipped for Ministry 4C. Mature Christians Serve Others So The Body Can Grow 1 Peter 4:10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. (NIV) 5. The Disciple Making Stage Matthew 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (NIV) Hebrews 6:1 So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and BECOME MATURE in our understanding. Surely we don’t need to start again with the fundamental importance of repenting from evil deeds and placing our faith in God. (NLT) Hebrews 5:12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! (NIV) Acts 6:7 And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith. (ESV)
In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I'm joined by Brian Dombrowski—a guy who's put in more than his fair share of miles chasing deer across a range of terrain, from flatlands to big woods. We dive deep into what makes mature bucks tick, how scouting plays a role beyond trail cams, and why visual confirmation still trumps digital data. Brian shares his approach to patterning deer by behavior, not just sign, and we get into everything from the strategic use of mock scrapes to the rising cost of deer mounts and the real reason some guys just burn out. We also hit on the value of solitude, instinct, and pushing yourself past the easy button in both public and private land settings. This one's for the folks who are still grinding and still learning—season after season.
