In this episode of Sermon Notes titled "Embracing Paul's Endurance and Ministry: Lessons from Acts and Corinthians" host Jay Strother is joined by guest Brian Vaughl and Brian Ball to delve into the multifaceted challenges and triumphs faced by the Apostle Paul as recounted in the book of Acts and the letters to the Corinthians. They explore Paul's endurance, bi-vocational ministry, and the transformative power of the gospel amidst personal and communal adversity. The discussion navigates through Paul's theological insights, addressing divisive issues within the early church, and underscores the importance of unity, humility, and the sufficiency of God's grace. Highlighting real-life anecdotes and current global issues such as the war in Ukraine, the conversation offers profound reflections on trusting in Christ's strength during trials, advocating for love and authenticity within the church, and encouraging a candid dialogue about sexuality in Christian communities. The episode concludes with an appreciation for the listeners' support and a call to continue engaging with the podcast.

What happens when the leaders we trust falter? On today's Jamie Luce Podcast, we confront the heart-wrenching reality of accountability within large ministries, especially in light of recent scandals. We explore the emotional and spiritual toll these events have on the church community and the faith of its followers. By examining organizational structures, cultural influences, and the pressures that come with celebrity status, we seek to understand how such lapses occur and what can be done to prevent them. Our conversation underscores the importance of having pure motives and hearts dedicated to serving God. Through the metaphor of grape fermentation, we illustrate the maturation process necessary for a powerful ministry. The rush to achieve fame often yields disastrous results, as seen in the tragic downfall of young ministers who were elevated too quickly. Waiting for God's timing and preparing oneself for leadership are essential themes we discuss, drawing from biblical examples like the story of Moses and the Israelites at Mount Sinai. Patience, preparation, and the fear of the Lord emerge as critical components for anyone aspiring to lead a ministry. Finally, we highlight the profound role of Jesus Christ as our sole mediator, cautioning against the idolization of religious figures. Direct access to God is our privilege, thanks to Jesus' sacrifice, and we must prioritize His voice over human intermediaries. Reflecting on Paul's teachings, we encourage humility and servanthood as the true markers of greatness in God's kingdom. Together, let's support one another in our spiritual journeys, keeping our focus firmly on Jesus, our ultimate guide and source of strength. Join us for a heartfelt call to action and a commitment to integrity in our faith communities. Where to dive in: (0:00:00) - Accountability in Ministry and Culture Accountability, motives, and repercussions of scandals in large ministries and the need to learn and grow as believers. (0:04:09) - Examining Fault in Church Leadership Importance of accountability in Christian leadership, individual responsibility to lay down lives for Christ, and protecting church integrity. (0:20:48) - The Process of Fermentation Ministry maturity requires patience, preparation, and avoiding premature elevation, as seen in Exodus 19-20. (0:27:13) - The Fear of the Lord God's presence at Mount Sinai, Moses as mediator, and the importance of cultivating a direct relationship with God. (0:41:35) - The Role of Jesus as Mediator Jesus is the sole mediator between God and humanity, granting us direct access to God. Confession, salvation, and righteousness come exclusively through Him. Beware of idolizing religious figures. (0:50:29) - Following Jesus Alone Humility, unity in the church, personal relationship with God, avoiding superstar ministers, and following God's word. (1:01:52) - The Power of Servanthood True greatness in Jesus' eyes is shown through servanthood, humility, and a personal relationship with God.

#200 –  As ministry leaders, it can be easy to live within the echo-chamber of ministry insight. And while there is an infinite level of wisdom that can be learned through christian media, it can also be valuable to observe systems outside of our normal channels in order to learn lessons that can be applied to ministry. In today's episode, Josh talks us through his experiences hosting the morning show and all of the “ministry” lessons he learned along the way.  We hope you enjoy episode 200 of the Lead Volunteers Podcast and share it with a ministry leader you know who may find this beneficial for their ministry context!

The book of James says, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” In other words, we prove to the world we are Christians by our personal ministry, and, by the way, we are all ministers, not just the paid staff of our churches. As Dr. Jackson's pastor says, “Ministry is messy.” How so? Dr. Jackson talks about ministry being work, warfare, and wounding, but also wonderful.https://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/

Welcome to episode number 13, um, of the Hybrid Ministry podcast. I am your host, as always, Nick Clason. And, um, bad news, Matt is in Spain, and, um, he just started a new job. And so I was talking to him last week on the phone and he has to figure out his computer situation. Doesn't even know if he is gonna have one or not. So listen, there may be some changes on the horizon. He may be back. Maybe I'll figure something out. Um, maybe not, but that's okay. Um, and I'll just be honest. Um, my moving truck came in today, Oh my word. It has been 10 days of sleeping on an air mattress. And I don't know if you've seen that TikTok about corn. It's such a beautiful thing. Uh, but if you go follow me on TikTok at Clason, nick, it's c l a s o n, no Y in there. Nick Clason (01:00): Um, I just posted TikTok about how my bed is the most beautiful thing, not corn. Sorry kid. Oh man. It's so good to sleep on a, on a regular mattress again. Uh, actually I haven't even done that yet. I am recording before I go to bed. Um, all that being said, probably gonna be a pretty short pod. Uh, but I wanted to talk a little bit about this idea. Um, and I just wanna brand it. Say, um, let's try to think digital, um, why we're not gonna think digital because of digital for digital's sake, right? But what I wanna do with thinking digital is, first of all, couple of ideas. Number one, uh, when things are made digital, it's just easier, right? And so, you know, I think there's sometimes this notion in church of the fact of like, if you're gonna follow Jesus, it's gonna be hard. Nick Clason (01:55): So we're not gonna make it easy on you, so suck it up. And if you wanna send up to serve, we're not gonna give it to you in two clicks. You gotta go talk to Carl, who's the head usher and get on Carl's Excel spreadsheet, right? Or whatever the case may be. But digital is just so much easier. Um, I'll give you an example. Talking about my moving company. Um, they took my stuff 10 days ago or so in Chicago and, um, no one was super clear with me about what the process was gonna be. So, uh, the next day I just called the company. I was like, Hey, so how do we like schedule this? They're like, Oh, we'll call you. And that was it. And I just, uh, there was some stuff and moving companies are never like the most upright, forthright. So there was just some stuff that like concerned me a little bit. Nick Clason (02:51): And so, uh, I wasn't, I was not okay with that being the only answer. And so I wanted to continue. I stayed on 'em, I stayed hot on their tail. Uh, but it was a pain in the, But let me tell you what, like, uh, they did not have an infrastructure for somebody who was interested in knowing the whereabouts of the contents of their house. Uh, their, their infrastructure was when we're ready to bring you your things, we will tell you. But until then we got nothing for you. Um, compare that to Amazon, Who has an updated ETA delivery? Lets, you know when the item is 10 stops away from your house and you can track it on the, on the map. Like, uh, what I was thinking I should have done, you know, after, of course everything's loaded and I'm here in Texas just waiting for my stuff to arrive. Nick Clason (03:48): So I was like, Man, I should have put some sort of find my iPhone or GPS tracking device or something on the truck just so I can know where the contents of my house were sitting. You know, like that, that has just been interesting to me. And you know, I don't think that this moving company has any desire to, uh, to change their ways, you know? But I was reaching out, I was thinking about reaching out to 'em and just saying, Hey, you know, if you had some sort of tracking system or whatever, like that would've made a my life a lot easier, but b, yours as well. Cause I wouldn't have called you 36 times trying to figure out where everything was. So think digital. How can you make it easier? How can you give, uh, an how can, how can you give a, uh, user experience one that's just a little bit easier? Nick Clason (04:39): So think about someone at your church wants to sign up to serve. Can they find that information on your website? If they want to attend your church, can they find that information on your website? If they want to join a small group, do they have to ask somebody what in the world the name of this small group means? Because it's some acronym that you created 36 years ago that no one even really remembers anymore, but everyone just calls it the Frog Group. And you're like, Oh yeah, what's that mean? Like, fuck yo. Yeah. Fully rely on God. Yeah, Carl named it that 10 years ago, right? I don't know what my vendetta is against Kyle, Kyle, Carl, but what, like, do you have something, um, that's clear and that makes it easier for the person? Because the fact is, like, as things get more difficult, uh, people just tend to give up. So keep that in mind. And you're like, Well, that's not committed. Yeah, it's also just human psychology. And so it's not that people aren't committed, but, but make it, make it like, make it accessible for people. Make them be able to attach to it. Nick Clason (05:48): All right? Another idea, um, I had on thinking digital is, is this, um, again, tales from a moving company. Um, the customer service of this moving company was awful, right? So the movers, um, in Chicago were fine. The movers in Dallas, uh, they were super kind and so, so much better than the movers that I had in Chicago. Um, the guy who sold me, uh, the truck and everything, great guy. Um, but also like, not total, not sure if he was totally truthful. And then, but the person in between, they put me in, in touch with, uh, George. So George sold me on the moving company and everything like that. They put me in touch with George's manager. Her name is Pauline. And, um, I don't know if I've ever met somebody who is, uh, seems so annoyed with human contact in my entire life. Nick Clason (06:48): And I'm not trying to be mean, and I'm not trying to be like a, an an awful Christian, right? But like, she had no desire to talk to me. Like her company held the contents of my entire life. And I was just calling to say, Hey Pauline, how's things going? Any idea on the eta my truck? Again, mind you, they have no way to let me know that. Like, they just give me a window and say that's when it's gonna be. So I'm just supposed to be okay with that, right? Meanwhile, everyone I'm talking to is like, that's taking forever. That's crazy. Why is this so long? And then I'm talking to them and they're like, No, it's not, it's not that long. Like, you just feel like it's long. It's really not that big a deal. Like what? What? Right? You know? So it's like I call her and I just felt like I was annoying her. Nick Clason (07:36): She's like, Hello. Um, and so be kind to people like figure out the best way in which you can, um, make people's lives easier. Like how, how is your interaction with that person going to make their life easier? And then let's think about how you can do that digitally. Because the fact of the matter is, if you're a church, you're probably only only interacting with someone on a Sunday morning or maybe a Wednesday night or some midweek type of deal. How can you also bring that level of customer service? How can you bring that level of joy and satisfaction to your digital channels, to your social media so that the people that are following you, so the people that are engaging with you, are seeing the joy that Jesus has brought into your life. And you're exuding that not only in your in-person interactions, but also in your digital interactions. Nick Clason (08:26): See, that stuff matters. And I'll just tell you, as somebody who's been on the other side of a not so joyful person and company, um, it has made my experience with this company terrible. I I will never use them again. And quite honestly, this is like the third move I've made that's been significant, where I've had to load up a truck and all that stuff, and honestly, they probably did the best job of any moving company I've ever done, uh, as far as like the actual loading and the actual wrapping of a furniture and all those types of things. But the reality is I'll never go with them again. Why customer service? They made me feel terrible and they made me feel stupid the entire way through. Last thing, be clear. Be clear with what's going on. Again, um, tales from a moving company. So, uh, this guy George, he, he books me, uh, for, um, a, you know, a price. Nick Clason (09:22): And he says, I'm overestimating based on what you're telling me. So you're probably gonna pay less. Guy walks in Chicago, and he's like, uh, it's actually gonna be $3,000 more than, um, what George told you on the phone. Like, hold on a minute, right? Like, that's a lot of money. And uh, of course in reading the reviews, it sounded like this was standard practice for this company. Um, but, but then, right? Like I said, then they drove away. And it wasn't until later that night or the next day, we were dawned on me, I was like, Wait a minute. I don't know how to schedule pick up. I don't know when to expect my truck. Like, I, I have no idea, right? Like, I just, there's no clarity on the process, right? And so think about if someone wants to volunteer in your ministry, are you clear on what the steps are, right? Nick Clason (10:17): Like I'm a youth pastor, and so to volunteer in youth ministry, in most cases, and in most churches, it's gonna be, uh, quite, quite cumbersome to be honest with you, because we're gonna be running back around checks and we're gonna be probably checking references, and we're probably gonna be having you do some sort of, uh, training, um, that, you know, some video training on, you know, sexual abuse or, uh, mandated reporting or the child protective services laws in your state, or whatever the case may, right? Like it takes a lot to get you into a position of influence and into the same room with a bunch of teenagers, rightfully so, as it should, right? But be clear, if someone's like, I wanna volunteer youth ministry, great, you're on the team, and then they get home and they have 37 emails from you, from your admin, from the screening company, from whatever, and you're calling references, and they didn't give chance to give those references a head up heads up. Nick Clason (11:17): Like, just be clear. And, and even if it's right, like if this company, this moving company would've told me like, Hey, it's gonna be seven to 17 days for transit from Chicago to Texas. While that's a long time, and I'm not a fan of that, Like I would've known it and I wouldn't have been freaking out quite as much wondering where in the world my things are because there was no one laid it out for me. There was no clarity. I had to go seek it out. And by the time I got to the end of the line, I got to a customer service representative who didn't really want to talk to any customers. And so if they would've laid that out, I wouldn't have had to a slug through so many phone calls, you know, call the company, press one for this, two for that, and getting myself worked up or myself frustrated all the way along the way. Nick Clason (12:06): So, so just be clear, right? So number one, think digital. Number two, be nice, be kind to people. And number three, be clear and lay things out. Again, like I said, um, you got the brunt of my frustration of unloading, unpacking, moving truck, but we're here, we're settled. And, uh, listen, like, say whatever you want, think whatever you want, but I've been able to keep these suckers rolling out every Thursday morning consistently. And so that's been a feat in and of itself. Like I said, now that things are hopefully settling down a little bit, uh, we'll be able to maybe line up schedule with Matt. If not, that's fine. I'm gonna keep, uh, solo pod in it and just, uh, do my best Colin Cowherd impression. Uh, but excited to be continuing on this journey with you. Uh, in the couple weeks, I wanna let you know how our digital initiative stuff are going. Nick Clason (13:00): We had a website conversation with our communications people last week, um, here in Texas at our church to create a more hub style, uh, website. Um, and then this week, um, so I'm like five of six, six tos in. Um, I've gone head first into a three day TikTok posting strategy. So it's a lot of forethought and planning, but, uh, this is now the second time I've done it, and so I found it to be quite a bit easier. And so, um, while it may seem daunting at first, once you kind of get your bearings a little bit, um, you'll, you'll be a little, you know, you'll be a little bit better. And then last, uh, listen, I mean, there's nothing to be proud of. And, um, I'm shooting right now on a same Sun Galaxy S nine phone, terrible quality. I just, uh, pre-ordered the brand new, uh, Google Pixel Pro seven, so it's like the best camera right there on the market, either between that or the newest iPhone. Nick Clason (13:57): So, um, it's weird, I'm an Apple guy for everything, but for phones, I'm, I'm the same or I'm a Android person. So when you do Google Pixel, um, and uh, check out the new phone quality on that. Uh, but if you wanna go check out what we're posting on TikTok, we're at first Colville students, um, on TikTok and Instagram, posting the exact same content both on reels there on Instagram and on TikTok. So, like I said, we're just getting started with that this week. Um, and it's gonna be a lot of me on there. I'm gonna try and diversify it with my team here in the coming weeks, but just wanted to get things up and rolling, uh, there on TikTok. So, hey, thanks for hanging out. Appreciate it. Uh, love to hear from you guys. We're hybridministry.xyz online. We're also @hybridministry on Twitter. And, uh, we'll talk to you next time. See you guys.

In this special episode of Thanos to Theos focused on youth ministry applications, the guys get together to talk about leading through change.  We've all been through so many different kinds of adjustments in the last few years, and this conversation is focused on what we've seen in our respective ministries, how we've led through various changes, and what we've learned in hindsight.  With a particular emphasis on what it looks like to become more gospel-centered, we hope that you will be encouraged as you hear about the challenges and blessings that the hosts experienced in shaping their youth ministries to be more gospel driven.Links:Lead Them to Jesus book reviews by Rooted Ministry and The Gospel Coalition. The Jesus I Wish I Knew book review by Mike McGarry at Christianity Today. Contact us on Twitter @ThanosToTheos, Instagram @ThanosToTheos, or email us at thanostotheos@gmail.comIf you want to respond to any of our hosts, you can reach us on Twitter:Mike McGarry: @revmcgarryClark Fobes: @fobesmanKevin Yi: @kevinhyi

In this episode, Erin Olson discusses how guarding your motives and heart reduces the risk of messing it all up in ministry. Erin finishes up the book of 1 Timothy. In Chapter 6, Paul continues to his instruction for Timothy, including how important it is for Timothy to guard his motives and to remember the importance of the Gospel. This chapter was an encouragement to Timothy, but it is also useful information for us today because we face the same obstacles, false teaching, and heart issues the people in Ephesus faced.

Most churches spend a whole month focused on the birth of Jesus, while the celebration and reverence for the Passion and Resurrection are comparatively minor. In this series, Easter According to the Gospel of John, Dr. John Neufeld explores the Apostle John's Gospel account of Easter to recapture the importance of these events and fix our eyes on Christ and His sufferings for us.

Audio for this podcast comes from a video that I made on this question. Thanks for understanding even though I refer to it as a video throughout this episode.  In this podcast we explore the connection between God's redemption and our response of love and obedience. Much of our culture shies away from the idea of obedience, laws, and commandments in favor of self fulfillment. The irony is that when we chase after our own self fulfilment, we don't find it. When we abandon our selfish pursuits we find the fulfilment we long for. Bible verses for this question can include Deuteronomy 11:1-14, Psalm 19:7-14, 1 John 4:19. An activity you can do with this lesson is to draw and color a person who is a super fan of a sports team or artist. Ask yourself or your students why that person looks the way they do? Now do the same activity, only your person needs to be someone who is glorifying God. What do they look like? How is glorifying God different from being a fan of a sports team or artist? My hope is to help my students grow in their faith and spiritual formation. These are the most important things in life, and they give meaning to all our other life pursuits. Thanks for being here and being a part of this community!

The original video for this podcast was made for my youtube channel. In this episode we take a look at The New City Catechism and why it can be a good fit for a youth ministry. A catechism is a learning process that emphasizes the memorization of a series of questions and answers. I think you will find a lot of great questions within The New City Catechism as well as the much older catechisms that come to us through history. The New City Catechism is a return to some of the older ways of learning but with apps and resources that make it fit for today's world. You can learn more about the New City Catechism on their website. http://newcitycatechism.com/ This is not a sponsored podcast. Check out my channel Pete Koenen - Speaking Up if you are interested. Thank you for being a part of the community as I continue to make more content related to youth ministry. You are awesome!
