What actually counts as Christian leadership… and why does it fall apart so often inside the church? In this episode, Nate and Pastor Joseph dig into the truth about leadership in the church and why so many believers end up confused, hurt, or just straight-up annoyed by how authority works in different Christian spaces. They break down what healthy spiritual leadership looks like, how influence can be used well or misused fast, and why accountability matters way more than titles or stage presence. It's honest, funny, and a little uncomfortable in the best way possible, especially if you've ever wondered why leadership feels so different from church to church. If you like real talk about faith, culture, and the messy parts of church life, you're in the right place. If you enjoyed this episode:

Pastor Joseph speaks through 2 Corinthians 5 in this teaching series named, Letters to the Church.

Pastor Joseph and Reverend Dorian lead the fellowship of Christ the King Newmarket in a study of John 16:5-33.

Speakers: David Reynolds and Damon Joseph Moderator: Avery Rhoton The discussion centered on contrasting interpretations of Matthew 24, with Pastor Reynolds advocating a futurist, premillennial view emphasizing literal fulfillment of prophecy, including the Great Tribulation and the bodily return of Christ, while Pastor Joseph promoted a partial preterist perspective, arguing that Jesus' prophecy was fulfilled in the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, with cosmic language serving as symbolic judgment imagery from the Old Testament. Key points of contention included the use of 'apocalyptic literature' as a misleading term, the interpretation of 'great tribulation' as hyperbolic rather than global, and the role of context, genre, and progressive revelation in biblical hermeneutics. Both speakers agreed on the importance of Scripture, the need for careful interpretation, and the centrality of Christ's return, though they differed on timing and scope, with Reynolds stressing the ongoing relevance of future eschatological hope and Joseph highlighting God's covenantal faithfulness in historical judgment and salvation. The dialogue underscored the necessity of charity, historical awareness, and theological humility in engaging differing views.

Spiritual warfare isn't just demons and dramatic church folks. This week, Nate and Pastor Joseph continue the convo on spiritual warfare—minus the smoke machines and exorcism clichés. Think less “Hollywood horror” and more real-world spiritual struggle: burnout, doubt, distractions, and that one Christian friend who swears everything is “a spirit.” In true When I Heard This fashion, the guys mix hard truth, real-life church experiences, and a healthy amount of sarcasm to break down what spiritual warfare actually looks like.

In October of 2017, Tony Gurule did a show with Dave Agema & Pastor Joseph explaining the origin and history of Islamic Jew-hatred, and why it exists. They used Islam's primary sources to make their case. Unfortunately, the Islamic hatred of Jews still continues today because it's ingrained in the Islamic worldview and Islamic theology. The fact is, there's more Jew-hatred in Islam's primary sources than in Hitler's, Mein Kampf. Watch the video version HERE.
