Most pastors have experienced a Sunday (or many!) when they aren't on the same page as the praise musicians. This disconnect can result in discontinuity between the pulpit and music ministry, frustrating both the pastor and the worship team. In this breakout, Parkside Church's Jonathan Albright considers several practical music ministry scenarios and identifies key principles that lead to unified, intentional ministry between the pastor and praise team.
In this Basics 2025 question-and-answer session, Parkside Church's Matt Ross poses attendees' questions to Alistair Begg and fellow speakers Willie Philip and Richard Pratt. How do prospective ministers discern their sense of calling? How can pastors preach the Old Testament Christologically and still remain faithful to the text? What particular dangers does the church face in our politically divisive cultural climate? Hear answers to these questions and others as you listen in on the conversation.

It's Friday, September 13th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Spanish Evangelicals ask Nicaragua to revoke closure of churches This summer, the Nicaraguan regime, led by President Daniel Ortega, has shut down 1,500 independent Evangelical and Catholic groups, churches, and non-governmental organizations, reports Evangelical Focus. In view of this dire situation, the Spanish Evangelical Alliance made a formal complaint to the Nicaraguan government. In a letter sent to the Nicaraguan consulate in Spain, they wrote, “We ask you most respectfully and firmly to not only stop, but to reverse your harassment and demolition of freedoms in Nicaragua. Although you may not realize it, the first to suffer is the government itself and the country as a whole.” According to Open Doors, Nicaragua is the 30th most difficult country worldwide in which to be a Christian Psalm 9:9 says, “The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.” ABC's bias revealed during debate Did ABC have its thumb on the scale of fairness during the presidential debate this past Tuesday night in Philadelphia? First, Trump was the only candidate whom David Muir and Linsey Davis, the ABC co-anchors, targeted for multiple follow-up questions. While CNN's Jake Tapper and Dana Bash chose not to correct any misstatements by the candidates during Trump's debate with Biden in June, the ABC co-anchors instead challenged statements that Trump made about abortion, immigration, the 2020 election, and violent crime, reports the Associated Press. Kamala Harris was not once asked a follow-up question. It seemed as though it were a three-on-one debate instead of a one-on-one debate. During a discussion of abortion, Trump claimed that Democrats supported killing babies after they were born. TRUMP: “Her vice presidential pick says, ‘Abortion in the ninth month is absolutely fine.' He also says execution after birth, it's execution, no longer abortion, because the baby is born is okay. And that's not okay with me.” ABC co-anchor Linsey Davis said this in a rebuttal. DAVIS: “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it was born. Madam Vice President, I want to get your response to President Trump.” After years of publicly not admitting to his defeat to Biden in the 2020 election, ABC co-anchor David Muir pointed out that Trump had recently, on three separate occasions, seemingly conceded he had lost. Trump replied that he had been sarcastic in making those recent remarks. Muir offered this rebuttal. MUIR: “I did watch all of these pieces of video. I didn't detect the sarcasm. ‘Lost by whisker.' ‘We didn't quite make it.' And we should just point out here as clarification, and you know this, you and your allies, 60 cases in front of many judges, many of them Republican. ” TRUMP: “No judge looked at it. Many judges said we didn't have standing. That's the other thing. They said we didn't have standing. A technicality. Can you imagine a system where a person in an election doesn't have standing? The President of the United States doesn't have standing? That's how we lost. If you look at the facts, and I'd love to have you do a special on it. I'll show you Georgia, and I'll show you Wisconsin, and I'll show you Pennsylvania. “We have so many facts and statistics, but you know what? That doesn't matter, because we have to solve the problem that we have right now. That's old news. And the problem that we have right now is we have a nation in decline, and they have put it into decline. We have a nation that is dying, David.” MUIR: “Mr. President, thank you. Vice President Harris, you heard the President there tonight. He said he didn't say that he lost by a whisker. So, he still believes he did not lose the election that was won by President Biden and yourself. But I do want to ask you about something that's come up in the last couple of days. Mr. President, thank you. Vice President Harris.” After Trump claimed that crime had gone up during the Biden administration because of their open border policy which let in criminals, Muir claimed that violent crime had gone down in America. Listen. TRUMP: “Millions of people let in. All over the world crime is down. All over the world, except here, crime here is up and through the roof, despite their fraudulent statements that they made. Crime in this country is through the roof. We have a new form of crime. It's called ‘migrant crime,' and it's happening at levels that nobody thought possible.” MUIR: “President Trump, as you know, the FBI, says overall, violent crime is actually coming down in this country.” TRUMP: “Excuse me, the FBI defraud. They were defrauding statements. They didn't include the worst cities. They didn't include the cities with the worst crime. It was a fraud, just like their number of 818,000 jobs that they said they created turned out to be a fraud.” MUIR: “President Trump, thank you. I'll let you respond. Vice President Harris.” HARRIS: “Well, I…” After Trump repeated a report that illegal immigrants were killing and eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, David Muir weighed in once again. MUIR: “Want to clarify here. You bring up Springfield, Ohio, and ABC News did reach out to the city manager there. He told us there have been no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community.” TRUMP: “Well, I've seen people on television.” MUIR: “Let me just say here.” TRUMP: “The people on television saying my dog was taken and used for food. So, maybe he said that. And maybe that's a good thing to say for a city manager.” MUIR: “I'm not taking this from television.” TRUMP: “But people on television said my pets were eaten by the people that went there.” MUIR: “Again, the Springfield city manager says there's no evidence of that.” TRUMP: “We'll find out.” MUIR: “Vice President, I'll let you respond to the rest of what you've heard.” Trump turns down another debate Not surprisingly, on Thursday, former President Donald Trump said he would not participate in another election debate against his rival Vice President Kamala Harris, reports NewsMax. After participating in a debate against President Joe Biden in June and Harris this past Tuesday, he wrote this on Truth Social: "There will be no third debate!" He also said that Kamala “and Crooked Joe have destroyed our country, with millions of criminals and mentally deranged people pouring into the USA, totally unchecked and unvetted, and with inflation bankrupting our Middle Class. ... Kamala should focus on what she should have done during the last almost four-year period." Alistair Begg announces plans to retire Author and pastor Alistair Begg has announced plans to retire as the senior pastor of Parkside Church in Cleveland, Ohio, on September14, 2025, five decades after entering into the ministry, reports The Christian Post. The voice behind the radio teaching ministry Truth for Life, the 72-year-old Scottish pastor has served as Parkside Church's senior pastor since 1983. Begg said, "It is not precipitous. It's not driven by anything of which I am personally aware, other than my ambition to pass the baton safely into the hands of my successor." Earlier this year, Begg sparked controversy after refusing to repent for comments he made in a 2023 podcast in which he advised a grandmother to attend her grandson's marriage to a trans-identified person as an act of love. ‘CHiPs' star Erik Estrada works undercover to arrest child sexual predators And finally, actor Erik Estrada is known for his many decades starring in TV shows and movies, but the “CHiPs” star has also forged a path as a law enforcement official who works undercover to stop child sex predators, reports FaithWire.com. Estrada, age 75, recently told Fox News about his journey from Hollywood into policing. ESTRADA: “I got exposed to child internet pornography by the sheriff and his task force. They call themselves the Blue Ridge Thunder Task Force. “I got so upset when I saw what I saw because my daughter was seven at the time. It really upset me, and then I got angry. Made me mad.” Today, he works with law enforcement where he entraps deviants by using fake identities to try and snag them before they can hurt kids. In Matthew 18:6, Jesus said, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in Me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, September 13th, in the year of our Lord 2024.

GUEST: JUSTIN PETERS, preacher/evangelistIn case you haven't heard the controversy that is being hotly debated in Christian circles, pastor Alistair Begg, who leads Parkside Church in Cleveland but who is even more well-known for his daily radio program Truth For Life, which features his preaching and is heard by millions around the world, said in an interview that he received a letter from a grandmother asking whether she should attend her grandson's wedding to a transgender person.Here is the transcript of Begg's advice to the grandmother:I asked the grandmother, “Does your grandson understand your belief in Jesus?”“Yes.” “Does your grandson understand that your belief in Jesus makes it such that you can't countenance in any affirming way the choices that he has made in life?”“Yes.”I said, “Well then, okay. As long as he knows that, then I suggest that you do go to the ceremony. And I suggest that you buy them a gift.”“Oh,” she said, “what?” She was caught off guard.I said, “Well, here's the thing: your love for them may catch them off guard, but your absence will simply reinforce the fact that they said, ‘These people are what I always thought: judgmental, critical, unprepared to countenance anything.'”Loving and engaging with non-believers is prescribed by Scripture but attending a ceremony that openly rejects God's design for marriage? For the vast majority of theologically conservative Christians, this was a line that ought not be crossed.We reported last week that American Family Radio, after discussion with Truth for Life representatives, has removed the program from their network. And this week, it has been reported that Begg will no longer be speaking at Shepherds' Conference, a worldwide event for pastors held at John MacArthur's church in March.To his credit, Alistair Begg responded to the controversy in a full 40-minute message to his church this past Sunday night. We encourage you to watch it here.This weekend on The Christian Worldview, preacher and evangelist Justin Peters will again join us to discuss whether Alistair Begg's response was faithful to Scripture.------------------------Register for The Overcomer Course
Domestic violence does not always include intoxication and assault. It takes on many different forms; and in churches (just like everywhere else), it's happening right under our noses. Erin Norton, former victim of domestic abuse, joins the podcast to talk all things domestic violence, including many commonly held misconceptions. She's advocated for victims in varying capacities for 7 years. Given her love for the church and strong belief in the gospel of Jesus, she also has an invested interest in helping Christians see how centuries of misapplying various part of the bible, especially pertaining to marriage, has left many people [mostly women] unnecessarily vulnerable to abuse. Sitting with hosts Lynne Stroy and Joey Svendsen, the three also manage to fit in some discourse on single-parenting and the infamous "Will Smith slap."At the top of the episode, fellow Seacoaster and regular to the podcast, Julie Hiott, shares her personal story of being abused in her marriage.

GUEST: JUSTIN PETERS, evangelist and preacherIt can be confusing and even destabilizing when a pastor or Christian leader who has been orthodox in his teaching for decades says something that seems to compromise God's Word.Such occurred recently with revered pastor Alistair Begg. Begg, who is from Scotland but leads Parkside Church in Cleveland, is the Bible teacher on the popular radio ministry, Truth for Life. In an episode in September 2023, Truth for Life host Bob Lepine was interviewing pastor Begg about his new book, The Christian Manifesto, which seeks to help Christians live out Jesus' “Sermon on the Plain” (Luke 6) in a 21st century brave new world context.Begg brought up the example of what he said to a grandmother who had contacted him about whether to attend her grandson's “wedding” to a “transgender” person (the quotes being added because God defines a wedding as between one man and one woman and no one can “trans” their gender).We'll play the audio of pastor Begg's response, but in short, he suggested the grandmother attend the ceremony and buy the couple a gift with the purpose to keep the lines of engagement and gospel-witness open with her grandson.Those in theologically conservative circles collectively choked on his response while theological liberals said “this is the way”.The important question is: What is God's will for Christians with an issue like this? It is a matter of right vs wrong or an issue of personal conscience?Preacher and evangelist Justin Peters will join us this weekend and point to key passages of Scripture that help us make wise, God-honoring decisions.---------------------------Registration Open for The Overcomer CourseJune 21-24, 2024

Thanks so much!Listen in on my conversation with author and pastor Jason Patterson, as we discuss his fantastic new book, "From Your Biggest Fan."

Few fully discover and fulfill it in their lifetime, but it doesn't have to be this way. In From Your Biggest Fan, Jason shows us how we can cultivate our influence in the lives of those we love and lead and deploy it like Jesus would-for the benefit of everyone but ourselves.Through powerful storytelling, a razor-sharp wit, and personal vulnerability, Jason lays out a new mindset that opens our eyes to the wonders woven into every person and candidly shares his own struggles with insecurity, negativity, and other obstacles that can rob us of the ability to champion those around us.I discovered Jason at a workshop a few months ago for authors. He's not only a great writer, he is also a great pastor. I actually took notes when we were just chatting over coffee. After meeting him, I found his church's website and listened to a few of his sermons.

About JasonJason spent the first decade and a half of his career traveling widely as a speaker. In 2015, he and his wife Andrea moved to Fishers, IN to launch Parkside Church with an amazing group of people. Today, he continues to lead at the church and has recently written his first book, From Your Biggest Fan, about his passion to help others discover their God-given potential. He and Andrea live in the Indianapolis area with their three young children. Jason shared so much good wisdom. Maybe we've been doing it all wrong. Maybe instead of looking so deep inside ourselves to find our potential, we should start by helping those around us find theirs.

We are ringing in the new year with brand new episodes of Season 4 of The Iridescent Podcast! Kicking off our 2022 lineup is this honest and inspiring interview with special guest Deborah Rhodes. Deborah is an ordained minister in the Wesleyan Church and Co-Lead Pastor of Parkside Church in Greenville, South Carolina, along with her husband Matt. They have a 10 year old daughter, Annabeth, and a very spoiled miniature Schnauzer named Scout. Deborah is also the host of The Little Space Podcast. She is passionately about helping couples flourish in their marriages, and in this interview we discussed the challenges couples face today. We also discuss how to improve communication in relationships, and practical ways to cultivate connection and intimacy. Deborah also unpacks what she has learned working and leading with her husband. Bonus: Deborah talks candidly about the grit and grace she's developed working and leading in an often male-dominated space. Whatever your relationship status, this episode will encourage you, while providing you with insights to strengthen your relationships!
Jim Britts tells an exciting story.God interrupted his plans to live as a conventional youth pastor till age 80. He's still working with younger people but as a church planter and multiplier. Then he discovered the power of discipling people into Christ which required restructuring the church.COVID presented new opportunities. The church now functions with two operating systems. One to serve long-time members while the other unites persons of peace met on the street then disciples them into Christ. As you might expect from Matthew 10 and Luke 10 these people bring their friends and family into a relationship with Jesus--mostly outside of any congregation or building.The church now mostly equips and strengthens disciplemakers who reach into neighborhoods and communities of folks radically different from Jim and his personal church history.The kicker is the incredible community penetration and the unusual form. Jim moved from a conventional role into operating a business that removed financial pressure from the church. They meet in a park (Parkside Church) on Sunday mornings but the core drivers all gather around a meal, fellowship and disciplemaking (that is only a dream for many pastors) on Sunday afternoons.This one will shatter many of your categories and assumptions about church.You can catch Jim at https://parksidechurch.cc and the interview is so good that we posted it to YouTube at https://youtu.be/BI14RgykXno Hosted on Acast.

Listen to a conversation with Pastor Mickey Aquilino (Parkside Church - Alistair Begg). Mickey grew up Roman Catholic but didn't know Christ. After coming to faith through a renewal movement and reading God's Word, Mickey eventually left the Catholic church. He was led by God to Parkside Church where for 25 years he has helped teach the Bible and disciple others who come from a Roman Catholic background (like Amanda Scopilliti from season 2 episode 12).
