In this episode of the Northwood Church Matters podcast, Pastor Matt, Pastor Bobby, and Rachel discuss the growing trend of New Age practices within the Christian community.

Can believers participate in these practices if they remove the spiritual elements? Is it possible to mix Christianity with New Age thinking? With biblical clarity and pastoral insight, the team answers these questions and reminds us why true healing is found in Christ alone.

In this episode of the Northwoods Church Matters podcast, Pastor Bobby Pell joins the conversation to unpack the structure, purpose, and often confusing world of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). Whether you're a long-time Southern Baptist or brand new to Northwoods, this episode is designed to help you make sense of the acronyms, agencies, and hot topics that shape the SBC. We break down how the SBC is not a top-down denomination but a cooperative group of independent churches focused primarily on missions. Pastor Bobby and Pastor Matt discuss everything from the Cooperative Program (our “missions piggy bank”), to the work of the International and North American Mission Boards, to the role of our seminaries, Lifeway, and even the sometimes-controversial Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC). They also take a gracious but honest look at current SBC controversies, and much more. If you've ever wondered about anything SBC-related, be sure to checkit out.
