Podcasts about Pulpit

Coming to you from the JRE Tobacco Aladino Studios, Nick is joined by Trey Mac Shipley of Aladino Cigars. We smoke the Aladino 85th Anniversary, which was selected as the Parishioners Cigar of the Year for 2025, while we discuss a recent trip to Florida where Nick tagged along with Trey Mac to do some sales calls to shops. Nick was trying out some new equipment with the idea of doing some vlogging and, well, it kinda worked and kinda didn't. But the guys discuss their travels and you get an insight into the day of a cigar rep. We also discuss a variety of other topics including ketchup, women's foreheads, yacht rock, and much more. From there, learn what we've been listening to and watching in the Villiger Cigars Entertainment Report. And it's Friday, which means it's time for another Fun Fact from Pinky!

Why the Prison Pulpit? The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison. This week we are at a camp in Thailand for MKs; that is, missionary kids.

Coming your way from the JRE Tobacco Aladino Studios, Nick fires up an Aladino Corojo Reserva and answers your calls in another Ask the Pulpit episode. Nick takes your calls about a variety of topics including a cigar lounge that's closing, ghosts speaking English, what is smoking well lately, and more. Nick also takes a call that sets him off on a tangent about brands going to a direct to consumer model and how there are various elements outside of the industry that may make that decision problematic down the road. He also discusses the marketing budgets of cigar companies and how they need to be thinking hard about diversifying in a world where social media may soon not be an option for promotion. From there, learn about a movie Nick went and watched that he highly recommends you all see. Get your calls in for Ask the Pulpit at (863)874-0000. Or email your comments to Nick@CigarPulpit.com!

They share personal ministry journeys and describe the challenge of shifting established, often attractional church systems toward obedience-based disciple making rooted in the Great Commission (Matthew 28) and maturity in Christ (Colossians 1). Using an iPhone vs. Android operating system metaphor, they argue disciple making can't be added as a side program but must reshape the whole church. They present research findings that fewer than 5% of U.S. churches have a culture rooted in Jesus-style disciple making and outline four core practices seen in exemplary churches: convictional leadership, a contextual and reproducible model, high expectations, and cultural alignment. 00:00 Welcome & Why Disciple-Making Alignment Matters 04:03 Jeff Story: From Slogans to a Disciple-Making Culture 08:23 Paul: Leaving Membership Metrics for Making Disciples 13:24 Training Process Overview + The iPhone vs. Droid ‘Operating System' Metaphor 18:59 State of Disciple-Making in North America + Jesus' Intentional Relational Method 21:40 The Great Commission Explained: ‘Make Disciples' and Obedience-Based Faith 27:09 Beyond ‘Evangelism' vs ‘Discipleship': One Mission—Salvation to Maturity 32:38 Bobby's Journey: Coleman, Church Systems, Disciple Shift, and Renew's Theology 41:07 Research Findings: Why Most Churches Aren't Disciple-Making Churches 44:57 The 4 Core Practices: Convictional Leadership, Model, Expectations, Alignment 50:09 Why Revelation's First 3 Chapters Matter Most (Jesus & the Churches) 52:38 Legacy Church Challenge: Shifting to a Discipleship Culture Without Blowing It Up 54:05 Defining a Disciple: Follow Jesus, Be Changed, Join the Mission 56:01 Personal Discipleship Story: Learning to Make Disciples Who Make Disciples 57:24 Why People Struggle to Disciple: The Baseball Analogy 01:00:15 Early Momentum & Staff Culture Change: Baptisms, Next Steps, Monday Stories 01:02:01 The Discipleship Mandate ‘Cumulative': Jesus, Church, NT, Leaders, Gathering 01:11:43 Alignment Killers: Competing Agendas, Wrong Metrics, Instant-Result Expectations 01:13:36 10 Levers to Use (Not Demonize): Large Church, Sunday, Pulpit, Tradition, Doctrine 01:23:20 Five-Part Roadmap: Missional, Theological, Philosophical, Organizational, Relational 01:27:57 Break, Then Missional Alignment Deep Dive: Love God, Love People, Then Make Disciples 01:32:38 Avoiding Counterfeit Missions: Tradition, Buildings, and Other Substitutes 01:33:20 C.S.

The Son is worthy of our attention. He's worthy of our focus. Last week, we learned in the first four verses of chapter 2 that we should pay careful attention to the Son so that we don't drift away. We need to fix our eyes on Jesus so that we don't neglect this great salvation that He… The post We See Jesus :: February 22, 2026 appeared first on Lanse Free Church :: Lanse, PA.

Their advice from the stage is as hilarious as it is insightful; our hosts listen to clips and reflect on the sermon with the pastor himself, who shares what he’s learned about love in recent years, particularly after a certain dress-related controversy… Join hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers for this segment from episode #119 that aired on 02-19-26 If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ Welcome home y’all! —--------- We want to hear from you!

 Doug Wilson's appearance at a Pentagon prayer service hosted by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is more than a symbolic moment—it's a window into the kind of Christianity being elevated at the highest levels of American power. Wilson, a self-identified Christian nationalist and longtime pastor in Moscow, Idaho, has built an influential religious and media network rooted in a theology that centers male authority, rejects pluralism in the public square, and frames “Christ is King” as a political claim over the nation itself. His record—documented by journalists like Brian Kaylor and Sarah Stankorb—includes defending rigid patriarchal structures, opposing women's suffrage, limiting public religious freedom to conservative Protestantism, and mishandling abuse cases within his orbit. That this theology is now platformed inside the Pentagon, amid ongoing fallout from the Epstein scandal and broader debates about power, sexuality, and accountability, raises urgent questions about what kind of moral vision is being fused with state authority—and who it protects. At the same time, CBS's decision not to air Stephen Colbert's interview with Texas State Representative James Talarico—an outspoken Christian critic of Christian nationalism—reveals the other side of the equation. Talarico, a seminary student and public school teacher, argues that separating church and state protects both democracy and the integrity of Christian faith. His warning that Christian nationalism is “a cancer on my religion” stands in sharp contrast to Wilson's vision of public Christianity. The juxtaposition is stark: a hardline theocrat welcomed at the Pentagon, and a soft-spoken Christian democrat sidelined from broadcast television. Together, these events underscore a growing dynamic in American public life—where the state appears increasingly willing to privilege one brand of religion while marginalizing dissenting voices, even within Christianity itself.

In this latest episode, Jen Tringale & Rachel Shafer discuss Apostle Tim Sheets' powerful messages on prophetic precedents. They explore how the Holy Spirit hovers and broods — like in Genesis, Jesus' birth, and Acts 2 — to build the weighty glory that births breakthrough, mass promise fulfillment, healings, reformation, and global revival.

Sister J is the wife of Pastor S, who was arrested in 2023. She shared that on the arrest day they were “terrified—really scared,” and said, “I couldn’t even pray. All day I just kept repeating: ‘Lord, what should I do? Please help me.’” Pray that the Lord would meet Sister J with His peace, calm her fear, and gently guide her one step at a time. Sister J shared an update: the appeal has concluded, and the original sentence was upheld. Please pray for Pastor S as he enters this next season in prison—pray for endurance and hope, and that the Lord would open practical doors for communication, needed support, and opportunities to encourage others. Sister J described the early detention hardships of her husband: “During the first three months—the lawyer wasn’t allowed to meet him,” and “he didn’t have proper clothing and supplies. The first year he was in, his hands and feet and ears were all frostbitten.” Pray that God would protect Pastor S physically.

Sister J asked for prayer for her own spiritual stability: “My faith fluctuates a lot… so that in any environment I won’t be shaken, even in fear and anxiety I will still stand firm.” Pray that God would root Sister J in His Word, steady her emotions, and give her enduring faith and courage. Sister J shared that when she once asked who could help if her husband were arrested, Pastor S said, “There’s no one. Let me pray. Let me ask God.” She later testified that God provided caring believers and reminded her, “I’m not alone.” Pray that God would continue to surround Sister J with strong fellowship. Sister J shared: “Right now, the business can sustain me and my child’s living expenses.” But she also said, “My child’s body is very weak… almost once a month—fever and colds. So please pray for her health.” Thank the Lord for providing their daily needs, and pray that He would heal and strengthen her child’s body, giving her health and strength.

In light of current events, Mark and I process though what is happening in our western Charismatic church culture right now. We tie in our previous conversations about the Pulpit, gathering, discipleship and ministry to show the correlation of how we could have gotten here. Although we have no concrete solutions, we hope that this conversation, like all of them causes you to think, ask questions, and consider how you can create authentic biblical community.

(Psalm 95:7-11) In this concluding message from Psalm 95, Scott Pauley reminds us of the key to discovering all God has for us. If you want to move forward, you must take the next step of obedience.

Why would God devote so much of Scripture to condemning false teachers—and why is His anger toward them so intense? In this message from 2 Peter 2, we explore a surprising truth: God's fury is meant to comfort His people, not terrify them. Far from being an embarrassment or an overreaction, God's judgment on false teachers reveals just how precious His Word is—and how fiercely He protects those who belong to Him. When teachers lie about God, the damage is devastating: to the church, to the world, and ultimately to themselves. That's why Scripture speaks with such clarity and severity.

My sermons are the fruit of nearly 30 years of pastoral ministry, biblical counseling, formal seminary training, and a lifelong passion for God's Word. Since childhood, I've been drawn to the beauty and power of expository preaching—opening Scripture verse by verse and applying it to real life. After graduating from Moody Bible Institute, I spent the next 27 years serving as a youth pastor, senior pastor, church planter, and host of the Food For Your Soul radio broadcast. Along the way, I also earned a Master of Sacred Literature and a Doctor of Religious Studies. For more content from D. Richard Ferguson, visit TreasuringGod.com.

Hey family, every now and again, when churches work together, they have an opportunity to be able to influence each other and help each other grow in the kingdom of God. That's been happening with our church, and tomorrow morning it's happening in an interesting way. We're having a pulpit swap. Pulpit swap is when a pastor comes from another church and I go to their church and they preach in our church and I preach in their church, and we hope that all the people are blessed as a result. So this Sunday we want to welcome David Lee, pastor of First Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn. We're excited to have him at our church, and I'm excited to go preach at his church. Please come! Bring and friend and hear the gospel! We meet at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn in downtown Brooklyn. Kids' church starts at 10 a.m. as well for children ages 4-12. --Edwin

Not every spiritual problem looks demonic. Some look organized. Structured. Even successful. In this sobering and necessary conversation, Dr. Delisa Rodgers unpacks how fleshly witchcraft can operate through church leadership, not through occult practices, but through control, pride, fear, and manipulation. This episode explores the red flags that believers must discern with wisdom and spiritual maturity: • Control masked as “maintaining order” • Leaders who believe only they can hear from God • Suppression of the Holy Spirit's movement • Ministry decisions driven by political agendas • Measuring success by size instead of spiritual fruit • Hidden ambition disguised as calling You will learn the difference between strong leadership and spiritual control. Between order and oppression. Between structure and suppression. This is not a call to accusation. It is a call to discernment. Scripture reminds us that rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft and that we must not quench the Spirit. In a time where platforms are growing but discernment is thinning, this conversation will sharpen your spiritual perception and protect your heart. If you have ever felt tension in a church atmosphere you could not explain… If you have ever questioned leadership patterns but lacked language for it… If you desire to lead or serve with purity and humility… This episode is for you. Healthy leadership releases. It equips. It celebrates the gifts of others. It fears God more than public opinion. Listen prayerfully. Reflect honestly. And allow the Holy Spirit to refine both your discernment and your leadership. Before you go, make sure you stop by The Teaching Vault. It's your hub for deeper prophetic insight, leadership development, spiritual warfare strategies, family‑strengthening tools, and resources to help you grow with clarity and power.

Mark and I get into the history of the Pulpit, and how over years of church culture the sermon, Pulpit, and Ministry have led to the degradation of people, and intimate community. We talk bout current topics related to ministry and what the purpose of communal gathering was supposed to look like.

Continuation of teaching as to how we are to dress before the LORD.  The focus of teaching was on what our external attire should be like to honor and glorify the LORD.

From Sunday 1 February 2026 Dr. Jimmy Winfrey has a message titled “The Primacy of the Pulpit” Nehemiah 8:1-12fbcmw.org

The scripture lesson this morning was Luke 24:13-35, read by Jason Steiner. The three meditations were given by Kristy Kyle, Rev. Laura Mayo, and Raymond Stubblefield.

(Psalm 95:7) When you come to know Christ, what does that encompass? Psalm 95 teaches what a wonderful thing it is to have the Lord as our shepherd and to be part of His flock - and don't miss the vital connection to what Jesus taught in John 10.

A Pulpit sermon from 1972, this is NOT our best tape restoration. However, the message is so good, we hope you won't mind the poor audio quality! Drawing on Psalm 91, brother Fred speaks of God's preparation for humanity, urging listeners to respond through repentance, baptism, and faith. Heartfelt stories and clear Scripture-based teaching abounds in a message you won't want to miss!

Mary welcomes back Trey Dellinger, the Senior Legal Fellow of AFA Action, the government affairs affiliate of American Family Association. Trey has his finger on the pulse of the moral issues that affect our churches and our families. Today we look at the current SCOTUS cases on trans athletes in women’s sports. Trey gives us the rundown on those cases and why he has reason for optimism. Then we look at the first amendment as it relates to protesters storming churches. Whether it’s for attention or to bait Christians about race and their perspectives on what is important, we have to see what our rights are as believers. We also take a look at how our kids can be better protected online, since parents aren’t always the best gatekeepers – although that is their job. Finally we look at Human Trafficking Prevention month. So many moral issues, how do we keep up, and how can we help pastors keep up as well?

I have said from the beginning that I would like to see more folks in the podcasting world and today we had a friend on that started a podcast over a year ago. His name is Bro. Shawn Braumfield with the Pulpit to the Pew podcast. We talked with him about his show and also referenced some others who are podcasting.

In this Weekend Pulpit, Scott Pauley preaches from Genesis 24 and the story of Abraham's servant, Eliezer. He outlines 7 practical steps to discovering God's will: trust completely, obey immediately, pray specifically, wait patiently, worship humbly, seek confirmation, and act quickly. Scott preached this message in 2016, just a few months after stepping out by faith into evangelism.

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, host Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King, journalist Jayson Rodriguez, and Jason “Jah” Lee for a sharp, culturally grounded conversation that blends humor, social critique, and forward-looking commentary. The episode opens with Mandii recounting an “ignorant moment” at a birthday dinner that spirals into a broader reflection on food literacy, consumer awareness, and how everyday ignorance shows up in seemingly small choices [00:51, 09:30], before the crew formally settles in with introductions and playful banter [02:59]. The discussion quickly pivots to a provocative question—whether gambling is becoming the new crack epidemic in America [01:36]—using recent celebrity controversies and viral internet reactions as an entry point [02:03]. From there, the crew unpack relationship expectations and accountability [23:52] before zooming out to make bold political predictions for 2026 [34:27], examining how gambling, capitalism, and policy intersect. The episode takes a deeper investigative turn with a breakdown of the RICO case and the Stake controversy [42:43], sparking debates about the ethics of accepting money [45:09], ownership and influence within the gambling industry [45:42], and the tangible impact gambling has on low-income communities [47:59, 49:48], including comparisons to other forms of addiction [49:26]. The conversation further critiques the hypocrisy of capitalism within hip-hop culture [54:00], transitions into commentary on controversial church practices and the commercialization of modern faith [56:48], and revisits celebrity fashion debates—specifically the scrutiny faced by women in the public eye [57:26]. In the final stretch, the crew reflects on the business of podcasting, media ownership, and power dynamics in digital culture [01:19:52], before closing with final thoughts and teasers for future episodes [01:23:49].
