Podcasts about Pastoral

This conversation peels back the glossy veneer on modern church culture and asks what Jesus actually had in mind. We talk megachurch money, the “business model” of religion, and whether tithing-as-law was ever the point. Amy unpacks the influencer pastor era, the pressure-cooker system that breeds burnout, and why Acts-style fellowship (shared tables, rotating teachers, real accountability) still works. We compare Sunday stage shows to small, Spirit-led communities and ask if the apostles would even recognize our churches. From Laodicea warnings to Watchman Nee–style generosity, we press into discipleship over attendance. It's frank, hopeful, and aimed at reform from the inside out with one of our favorite guests- Amy from Eyes on the Right podcast!Amy's Counseling Website: https://www.biblicalguidancecounseling.com/Amy's Podcast Same Topic: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-mega-church-money-machine/id1692081180?i=1000716256160*Catch This Must-Watch Docuseries : https://www.thereligionbusiness.com/purchase/AMYW36*IG: eyesontherighpodcast & eyesontheright4.0https://www.unrefinedpodcast.com +Timestamps:00:01:00 Exposing the business of Christianity00:02:47 Mention of “The Religious Business” documentary00:05:08 Heart posture vs church consumerism00:07:29 Institutional systems and fallen influence00:09:42 Pastoral pressure and spiritual burnout00:11:56 Success measured by butts in pews00:14:23 What is church?

Este episodio recorre la vida de un pastor-intelectual que unió púlpito, aula y reforma social: de su labor en Pilrig, Edimburgo —con vivienda obrera, educación y misión urbana— al magisterio en New College (cátedra de Apologética y Teología Pastoral, 1868–1897). Destilamos su “hermenéutica para el ministerio” a través de tres frentes: (1) Exégesis pastoral en The Expositor's Bible (Joshua; First & Second Samuel), donde dialoga con la Alta Crítica sin rendir lo sobrenatural.    (2) Formación de predicadores, con For the Work of the Ministry como manual que combina piedad, claridad y utilidad en el sermón.  (3) Imaginario misional, gracias a The Personal Life of David Livingstone, biografía autorizada que fijó al héroe misionero para una generación.  Mostramos cómo Blaikie integró rigor histórico-gramatical, convicción evangélica y sensibilidad pública, y qué pueden aprender hoy iglesias, seminarios y obreros de su equilibrio entre cabeza, corazón y ciudad.

John the Apostle was the youngest of Jesus' apostles and he had a unique relationship with the Lord Jesus. Both his gospel testimony and his letters to the churches convey a warm pastoral heart of loving care for the Lord's people. One thing I value in his writings is his stated purpose for writing. In his gospel he states, " Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." JZohn 20:30f in his letters of 1 John he states several times why his writing and to whom he is writing. "that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled. JZohn 1:3-4 My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous. 1 John. 2:1-2 He addresses all the people under their spiritual maturations of young believers, adult father believers and young adult believers. To each group he gives a reason such as assurance or encouragement in spiritual warfare. a number of other reasons are given but end his letter with this one. " And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life." 1 John 5:20 His letter to them will function in like manner for us who pick up and read.

Jesus Will Change Your Bitterness Into Sweetness | യേശു നിങ്ങളുടെ കയ്പ്പിനെ മധുരമാക്കി മാറ്റും | Malayalam Christian Messages | Br. Damien Antony | Morning Glory Podcast - 1752 | 01 Nov 2025

In this episode we unpack Paul's big idea that Christian hope isn't a wish—it's Spirit-wrought assurance anchored in God's promises. We contrast the world's “maybe” hope with the New Testament's anchor-hope, then trace Paul's chain of grace: tribulation produces perseverance, perseverance forges character, and character yields a hope that will never put us to shame. We look at how God's love is poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, giving us confidence to rejoice even in suffering. Finally, we explore the “when” of the atonement—Christ died for the ungodly precisely when we were without strength, and He did so in real history at the Father's appointed time. Pastoral takeaways: rehearse truth when waves hit, bring afflictions to God in prayer, and let the cross reshape how you treat those who wrong you.Beer review:Mill Pond from Oyster City Brewing Vol Lager from Yee-Haw Brewing,

Rick Hiemstra is a former Wesleyan pastor who now directs the EFC's Centre for Research on Church and Faith. He and host David Guretzki reflect on increasing concerns over upcoming pastor retirements and the shrinking numbers of future pastors.

Stop letting your flesh lead you into dangerous waters. This dynamic panel discussion with Dr. Valerie Crumpton, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Pastor Cora Jakes, and Pastor Don Johnson follows up on Sunday's message, “Get Out of Your Way.” Their conversation highlights how we have the tendency to sabotage our own spiritual growth. Pastor Johnson shares how Jesus in Gethsemane reveals that most of us have a hearing problem, not an obedience problem; while Dr. Crumpton examines how the garden represents God's classroom where the process of life and death cultivates us. This Walk It Out Wednesday encourages us to refrain from coveting someone else's promise, but instead understand that the process is for you to become more like the One who ordains it. Questions Answered from The House: How do I know what God has promised me and fully serve Him? How do I remain in the process without getting distracted or discouraged? Do you discover your identity in the process or promise? Join this conversation and make sure to bring your questions every Wednesday!

This past Sunday, we heard a letter read from Joel, our Pastor for Preaching & Oversight, as he begins a 3-month sabbatical (November - January).

In a wide-ranging interview, Tim Timberlake reflects on a challenging pastoral succession and how he rebuilt momentum. Plus, he discusses getting divorced in his twenties, what he learned about leading while bleeding, and a lot more.

When the Church tries to heal what it doesn't understand, even good intentions can cause real harm. In this first conversation of the Do No Harm series, Laurie and licensed therapist Kati Quigley talk about the unseen damage that happens when untrained pastoral or biblical counseling takes the place of trauma-informed care. It's not about blame; it's about awareness, wisdom, and protecting the people we're called to love well.In this episode:The difference between spiritual care and clinical therapyWhy quoting Scripture can backfire for trauma survivorsWhat “do no harm” really looks like in ministryThe emotional fallout when help hurtsFirst steps toward safer, trauma-informed spiritual careJoin our free Facebook Community: www.facebook.com/groups/smallchurchministryRate, Review, & Follow Laurie on Apple Podcasts"I love Laurie and The Small Church Ministry Podcast!!"

1 Timothy 6:6-10, 17-19Let me speak the truth in love right out of the gate this morning.  Or put another way, let me address the “pink elephant” before we even get started.”1. This morning's message is about Generosity/Giving.  Just giving you a heads up.  The topics of stewardship, giving, and generosity are central in Scripture.   My convicti tv on:   it's spiritual malpractice for pastors NOT to preach/teach on this topic.  My story…I received “master class” ministry training when I was in my early twenties from an incredibly gifted Pastor/Mentor who loved to help people develop the gift of GIVING.2. Jami and I are lifelong tithers and givers.  So everything I'll share with you today are spiritual disciplines and habits we have practiced for decades in our lives. Truth be known, it's a source of tremendous JOY.3.  Stay open to the possibility that God wants you to “put on” a new mindset about Generosity.  Meaning:  Living from an “abundance” mindset is so much greater than a “scarcity” mindset.  I love this wisdom from Proverbs “Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything.  The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.” -Proverbs 11:24-25Background/Context1 & 2 Timothy and Titus are Paul's Pastoral Epistles (much of what Paul writes about concerns practical matters of church life and organization).Paul wrote this letter from Macedonia around 64 AD during his 4th missionary journey.Timothy was young (30-35), acting as a liaison of Paul and providing Pastoral leadership to the Church at Ephesus (serving w/ Paul 15 yrs.)This was a big assignment for Timothy, an important church with wealthy members.Paul had previously spent 3 years in Ephesus.  This letter is 8 years later…This letter represents the most complete summary in the bible of a Pastor's Ministry and spiritual qualifications.What we read are the affectionate words of a Father in the faith (Paul) to his beloved son/apprentice/liason/pastor in training.A. Foundation (6:6-10)Perspective: Godliness + Contentment=Great gainThe LOVE of money is a root of all kinds of evil-Disordered love.  Jesus said:  “No one can serve two masters…You cannot serve both God and money.” -Matthew 6:24“Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” -Luke 12:15Then Paul gives Timothy a clinic on biblical stewardship:B. Dangers (6:17)1. Arrogance or haughtiness-The challenges of being financially blessed and maintaining a posture of humility.2. Misplaced Hope-If money is your security, then you'll never have enough.  “Don't wear yourself out trying to get rich; restrain yourself!  Riches disappear in the blink of an eye; wealth sprouts wings and flies off into the wild blue yonder.” -Prov. 23:4-5 (MSG)         -God is your security “Every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.  I know every bird of the mountains, and everything that moves in the field is mine.  If I were hungry, I would not tell you; for the world is mine, and all it contains.” -Psalm 50:10-12C. Duties (6:18)1. Do Good-Gk. word ‘agathoergeo' means “to do what is inherently, intrinsically good” “do gooder”2. Be Rich in Good Deeds-Idea is to abundantly furnish (including in this letter your own family, needy widows, leaders of the church, and other believers in need.3. Be Generous and Willing to Share-Idea connotes giving liberally, bountifully even sacrificially from an unrestrained heart.C.  Delight (6:19)Delight is in the Present & FutureExperience “the real life” NOW *Stories* Laying up treasure in heaven“The less I spent on myself and the more I gave to others, the fuller of happiness and blessing did my soul become.” -Hudson Taylor“God prospers me not to raise my standard of living, but to raise my standard of giving.” -Randy Alcorn-EROI “Eternal Return on Investment” -Pastor Chris Hodges

1. The public preaching of God's word is the primary means of grace and must be kept central in the life of the church. 2. Pastoral counseling is also a necessary and important aspect of ministry and must not be neglected. 3. Preaching and counseling complement eachother.

Discover why leading in today's church means listening deeply to people's questions, griefs, and dreams—before ever stepping into the pulpit.Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from Mark Glanville in Ep. 278, Preaching in Today's Post-Christian World:"People are walking to church now, not with the Bible under their arm, but with complex and genuine questions, with hopes, with dreams, with griefs on their heart, sometimes with a complex relationship with the Bible itself.”THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Church leaders face the complexity of guiding people who bring diverse backgrounds, questions, hopes, dreams, and griefs.Pastoral leaders prioritize listening to the congregation before offering teaching or guidance.Leaders shape sermons and leadership approaches by engaging deeply with people's real-life experiences and struggles.Adaptive leadership requires creating community among people who differ in their spiritual journeys and relationships with scripture.Effective preaching and leadership begin with meaningful relationships and conversations, not just expertise or information delivery.Send me a text!

Ben Haupt unpacks the challenges of pastoral formation, why decentralization matters for the future of the LCMS, and how Lutheran theology is deeply relevant for today's culture. We dive deep on some of the pastoral challenges in the LCMS today and what can be done in the future. To learn more about the podcast or access the show notes, visit www.redletterpodcast.com. Today's episode is brought to you by our partner Child Beyond International. Thanks to this week's sponsor: Child Beyond International (CBI), a ministry dear to my heart. Based in Guatemala, CBI transforms the lives of orphaned, abandoned, and abused children by offering a Christ-centered new beginning. A dedicated team of caregivers, doctors, and social workers provides round-the-clock care, faith lessons, and prayer. Children are later reunited with safe relatives or adopted into loving Guatemalan families, with ongoing support beyond their time at CBI.For only $40 a month, you can help change a child's life. Because of the intensive care, it takes 20 people to fully sponsor one child. This season, we're using our podcast platform for good—we want Season 9 to sponsor a child through Red Letter Living. Could you be one of the 20? Visit www.childbeyond.org/rll. Jesus said it is more blessed to give than receive—this is a chance to experience that joy.Ben Haupt's Challenge:Engage in conversation. Start something—a podcast, a video, or a local group—that invites real dialogue. Don't retreat. Lean into Scripture and confessions, and talk with those who see things differently.Are You Following Jesus?Many want to be greater followers of Jesus but don't know how. We extensively studied everything Jesus commanded of us and located five key targets to which Jesus invited His followers. The five targets are Being, Forgiving, Serving, Giving, and Going.In partnership with LifeWay Research, we created a Red Letter Challenge Assessment that will measure you according to these five targets. And the best news of all: it's free! You will receive your results immediately and be presented with the next steps to help you become an even greater follower of Jesus.You can take the FREE Red Letter Challenge Assessment here.
