The Southern Baptist Convention technically only exists for two days each year during it's annual meeting. For more interesting tidbits about the largest Baptist organization in the world, join Pastors Mitch Kimbrell and Craig Combs as they discuss the historical and current state of the SBC.

What would cause you to turn from following Jesus? This life is full of excuses and in the conclusion of Luke 9, we see that there were those who wanted to follow Christ, but only on their terms. However, In Luke 9, we also see that Jesus sets his face toward Jerusalem and never turns his back! He knows what waits for him there. Rejection waits for him. Suffering waits for him. The cross waits for him. But he does not turn back! Therefore, because Jesus set his face toward the cross to save us, we must follow him with undivided allegiance.

This week we're joined by Michael Cochren, the soul-and-blues frontman of Cochren & Co. He talks about the eight years he spent waiting on an answer from God and why he refuses to say God is good just because things finally worked out. We spotlight the band's new album, 'Runs in the Blood.'In RELEVANT Buzz, Cory Asbury posted and deleted a shirtless workout photo, apologized for it and then got roasted by every friend he has in Christian music. Also, survivors launched the first national database of Protestant leaders accused of abuse, years after the SBC voted to build one and then let it die. And The Promised Land, the Moses workplace mockumentary that started as a YouTube pilot, just signed Lionsgate and got a second season.In Slices, Columbia House is finally shutting down, which mostly raises the question of how it was still open, and one of us confesses to running a stack of accounts under slightly different names to get free CDs as a teenager. And a woman in New Zealand went into cardiac arrest in a supermarket parking lot, got revived by a stranger and then got a parking ticket for it. Also in here: a follow-up on the resting heart rate situation, a public service announcement about energy drinks, and the actual reason last week's episode showed up five days late.One Has to Go closes it out. And we're still taking answers to last week's question: What's something you wish you'd known going into your freshman year of college? Drop it in the comments or @ us.

Pastor Michael Clary joins William Wolfe on the Center for Baptist Leadership podcast to unpack Loser Theology—why Christians are told to "lose" and why we need high-agency Christianity instead. They hit Russell Moore, Tim Keller, persecution, SBC "managed decline," and what courageous Baptist leadership looks like now.   In this episode, we cover: How loser theology copes with cultural decline Misused doctrines (justification, sovereignty, persecution, suffering) Why cultural Christianity and Christian nations matter Managed decline in the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) The 12 disciplines of high-agency Christianity and what it means to be a "man in the arena"  

In Luke 9:20-50, we find Christ's disciples wrestling with a question that still captures our hearts today: Who is the greatest? While they reach for status, recognition, and a crown, Jesus reveals a radically different picture of greatness. He is the promised Messiah, the glorious Son of God, and the One whose power causes people to marvel at the greatness of God. Yet this great Messiah does not pursue self-exaltation. He gives himself in suffering, sacrifice, and ultimately the cross.This message from God's Word challenges us to abandon the pursuit of our own greatness and faithfully follow the One who is truly great. Jesus calls his disciples to deny themselves, take up their cross daily, and follow him. The Christian life is not about becoming the greatest person in the room, but about worshiping Christ, surrendering our lives to him, and serving faithfully even when no one else notices. Our hearts may reach for the crown, but Christ calls us to pick up our cross instead.

Is IVF truly pro-life? Pastor and author Dr. Josh Holler joins William Wolfe on the Center for Baptist Leadership podcast to unpack his book “Misconceiving IVF”—explaining how IVF works, why it violates biblical ethics, and what hopeful, Christ-centered alternatives Christians should pursue instead.   In this episode, we cover: What IVF is and how the process actually works Why embryos are people and not disposable “cells” The staggering loss of life baked into the IVF industry Why churches and Christian publishers have been largely silent Better paths: restorative reproductive medicine & Christian adoption

Attention GRE and GMAT test-takers! Did you know there are certain words in a given reading passage that can help you quickly figure out the correct MBA admissions test answers? Well, there are, and we call them "indicator words." Indicator words are among the most powerful tools for solving several types of verbal questions on both the GMAT and the GRE. In this episode, SBC's Director of MBA Test Prep, Anthony Ritz, walks through what indicator words are, what they do, and how they are used to solve problems. The episode concludes with a full example question, in which Stacy Blackman herself applies these lessons to produce the correct answer using only two words from the argument. If you prefer to watch this episode (as screens are shown with test questions), you can find it on our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/c/stacyblackmanconsulting Learn more about SBC's MBA Test Prep services here: https://www.stacyblackman.com/testprep/ The example question discussed during the episode is: Historian: Newton developed mathematical concepts and techniques that are fundamental to modern calculus. Leibniz developed closely analogous concepts and techniques. It has traditionally been thought that these discoveries were independent. Researchers have, however, recently discovered notes of Leibniz's that discuss one of Newton's books on mathematics. Several scholars have argued that since the book includes a presentation of Newton's calculus concepts and techniques, and since the notes were written before Leibniz' own development of calculus concepts and techniques, it is virtually certain that the traditional view is false. A more cautious conclusion than this is called for, however. Leibniz' notes are limited to early sections of Newton's book, sections that precede the ones in which Newton's calculus concepts and techniques are presented. In the historian's reasoning, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles? (A) The first provides evidence in support of the overall position that the historian defends; the second is evidence that has been used to support an opposing position. (B) The first provides evidence in support of the overall position that the historian defends; the second is that position. (C) The first provides evidence in support of an intermediate conclusion that is drawn to provide support for the overall position that the historian defends; the second provides evidence against that intermediate conclusion. (D) The first is evidence that has been used to support a conclusion that the historian criticizes; the second is evidence offered in support of the historian's own position. (E) The first is evidence that has been used to support a conclusion that the historian criticizes; the second is further information that substantiates that evidence.

This week we concluded our series on the Foundations of the Church as Pastor Alex delivered a sermon centered on the crucial responsibility that we as Christians hold in proclaiming the gospel. Faithful evangelism by Christ's church is paramount in advancing God's Kingdom here on earth.

In our last episode, we asked: If theology matters, why are there so many denominations?Now we're taking a closer look at our own denominational family—the Southern Baptist Convention.What exactly is the SBC?

In his sermon, “The Language of a Dependent Church” centered on Colossians 4:2-6, Pastor Josiah shared how a healthy church does not only pray whenever there is a crisis, rather a healthy church continues steadfastly in prayer because she knows that her faithfulness, and her perseverance depends on God. As Christ's church, we must be devoted to prayer, spiritually alert, and thankful for all that God has done. A church that is truly dependent on God, is a church that is fully committed to prayer!

Absolute chaos!  In this episode, we're joined by special guest producer Lyndsey to break down everything from the marital magic of "chore play" and listener voicemails, to Rick Warren and the Southern Baptist Conventions split over women in church leadership, and why rigid church cultures struggle with nuance.  Plus, we take a detour through ancient text interpretations, first-century euphemisms, and what it really feels like to step into a brand new church community after a decade of leading the old one. 00:00 - Meet the Producer: Lyndsey Joins the Show 03:00 - Chore Play: The Secret to Romance? 10:15 - Questions with Quaid & Catching Up with Scott 17:30 - The SBC vs. Saddleback: Rick Warren and Women in Leadership 37:00 - First Vagilonians and Linguistic Rabbit Holes 51:00 - The Brittleness of Deconstruction and Church Transitions 1:05:00 - Spotting Cult Tactics and Managing Nuance SUBSCRIBE & SHARE us this week!Contact Us: brosbiblesbeer@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Leave Us A VoicemailYouTubeSimpleCastSpotifyApple PodcastsXInstaWe Should Know Better is: Zack Krater & Andy McCraw Find us wherever fine podcasts are distributed.

Send us Fan MailWhat if we've been measuring youth ministry by the wrong scoreboard?Attendance matters. Camp decisions matter. Great programming matters. But Jesus didn't commission us to create busy ministries—He commissioned us to make disciples.Recorded live at SBC 2026, Zac Workun sits down with Dr. Jason Engle to explore one of the most important conversations every youth pastor needs to have: What does spiritual maturity actually look like?Drawing from the Great Commission and Colossians 1:28, Jason argues that the true aim of youth ministry isn't simply activity, engagement, or even decisions—it's helping students become mature in Christ.Together we unpack:Why spiritual maturity should become the primary metric for youth ministryHow Paul's prayers reveal a biblical vision for discipleshipThe difference between alignment and attunement in spiritual formationWhy students often open up more side-by-side than face-to-faceHow teaching extends far beyond a sermonWhy fun and theological depth are never enemiesHow to disciple teenagers in an age dominated by distractionPractical ways to cultivate margin, abiding, and spiritual disciplinesWhy students shouldn't graduate dependent on youth ministry—but equipped to pursue Jesus on their ownOne of the most memorable moments comes when Jason shares the story of a student he believed wasn't listening, only to discover years later that God had been working beneath the surface all along.If you've ever wondered whether your ministry is making a lasting difference, this conversation offers both biblical clarity and tremendous encouragement.Key ScripturesMatthew 28:18–20Colossians 1:28–29Ephesians 1:15–23John 15Hebrews 12:1–2Memorable Quotes"The goal isn't students who depend on the ministry. It's students who know how to pursue Christ when the ministry is gone.""You can't microwave spiritual formation.""Spiritual maturity isn't a destination—it's a trajectory.""Students don't just need to hear about abiding. They need to practice abiding."Support the showJoin the community!

In the latest installment of our occasional Grab Bag feature, Jared Wilson and Ronni Kurtz ask each other surprise questions. We'd tell you what they are, but we want you to be surprised too.

The best part of church happens when we gather together! The Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. Through Christ's death and resurrection, he has brought us near to God, and now as he gathers us together, we must help encourage one another to endure as the day of his glorious return approaches!

It's a new installment of the FTC Film Club, and we have found a film the boys are especially fired up to discuss. After a bit of banter about the new Steven Spielberg film Disclosure Day, Jared Wilson and Ronni Kurtz launch into a spirited discussion of the 2012 film adaptation of the musical Les Miserables. And Jared offers a theory on Russell Crowe's singing voice that he hopes will make you reconsider any criticism you have of this incredible movie.

The post 131. Women in Ministry | Weighing in on the SBC’s Mohler Amendment appeared first on South Spring Baptist Church.

When the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) made headlines over women in pastoral ministry, social media quickly filled with opinions, assumptions, and strong reactions. But as followers of Christ, how should we respond when theological disagreements arise?In this episode, we use the recent SBC conversation as a case study to explore how Christian leaders can become the kind of leader who handles God's Word faithfully and God's people graciously. My prayer is that this conversation equips you not only to think more biblically, but to lead more like Christ.If this episode encouraged you, would you take a moment to leave a review? It helps more women in ministry find the show and be encouraged in their walk with Christ and leadership in the local church.Connect with Narcely:Website: www.NarcelyRuiz.comInstagram: @narcelyruiz / @upstreampursuit If you're a woman serving in ministry and you want support in growing in biblical confidence, leadership, and healthy ministry rhythms, I'd love to connect with you.

A church cannot be healthy without sound doctrine! Church unity and Christ-like love are dependent on it, and the church is protected by the dangers of false teachers by holding fast to the truth of scripture. We must never separate what God has joined together – biblical love flows from biblical truth. There is joy to be had by those who have built the foundation of their faith on the sound doctrine of God's word.

Send us Fan MailTeenagers are drowning in noise, and most of them don't have the brain bandwidth or life experience to sort it all out yet. From the SBC 2026 exhibit hall, we talk with Dr. Kristen Kellen about what it looks like to counsel teens faithfully when anxiety, comparison, and overwhelm feel like the background music of adolescence.If you've ever wondered:"Am I doing enough for struggling students?""When should I listen...and when should I refer?""How do I help teenagers who feel anxious all the time?"...this conversation is for you.We get specific about emotional health and why it can't be separated from the rest of life. Sleep, food, hydration, exercise, and screen time matter more than we want to admit, especially for developing bodies and brains. Then we challenge a popular idea that quietly shapes teen culture: the belief that emotions are authoritative and binding. Dr. Kellen gives language that protects kids from shame while still giving them agency, helping them move from “I feel anxious, so I am anxious” to “I'm experiencing anxiety, and I can respond wisely.”For youth pastors and youth leaders, we dig into the difference between helping a student feel better in the moment and helping them become healthy over time. We talk modeling emotional regulation, naming feelings without being ruled by them, and using practical steps that build resilience. We also explore suffering and spiritual maturity, why Scripture assumes hardship, and how patience and the fruit of the Spirit grow through repeated practice, not instant change. If you've wanted a clearer framework for Christian counseling and pastoral care with teens, this conversation will give you traction.We talk about why so many teenagers feel overwhelmed and how we can respond with wisdom instead of panic. We lay out practical ways to help students name their feelings, build agency, and grow toward long-term health and spiritual maturity. In This EpisodeWhy so many teenagers feel overwhelmed todayThe relationship between brain development and emotional maturityWhy feelings are real—but shouldn't become our authorityHelping students become healthy instead of simply helping them feel betterSimple counseling principles every youth pastor can practiceWhy modeling emotional regulation matters more than having all the answersBuilding spiritual resilience instead of instant reliefThe role suffering plays in Christian maturityHow youth ministry can become a "laboratory" for practicing the Fruit of the SpiritKnowing when to partner with parents, counselors, and mental health professionalsWhy your faithful presence matters more than you realizeQuotes"If we always focus on the fix, students may never learn the skill.""Teenagers don't just need answers—they need adults who model healthy faith.""Youth ministry is a long game played inside a very short season.""Don't underestimate the ministry of simply being present.""Our goal isn't just to remove suffering—it's to help students meet Christ in the middle of it."Support the showJoin the community!

Happy Father's Day from the New York Times! Allie highlights a number of headlines from the outlet bashing fathers instead of revering them (even Mother's Day isn't safe). However, research has shown that children who grow up with present dads have far better outcomes than children deprived of a father figure. Shifting gears, Allie is joined by Al Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, to explain his Truth and Unity Amendment outlawing female pastors in the SBC. Last but not least, Allie covers what and what not to say to a pregnant woman. Do you have a question for Allie?

In this episode of The World View, Alex Kocman examines three major developments shaping the modern West: the UK grooming-gang scandal and the collapse of multicultural assumptions, the temporary U.S.–Iran peace framework and shifting global power, and the SBC’s ongoing debate over women in pastoral ministry. What do these stories reveal about the state of the church, the nation, and the mission of Christianity? Alex argues that Christians must recover moral clarity, doctrinal courage, and missionary conviction in an age marked by confusion, compromise, and civilizational decline. The nations do not need more cowardice or ideological confusion—they need the Lordship of Christ proclaimed with boldness.

Andy Mineo and Wordsplayed are back as Magic and Bird, and tell us all about the sequel to their 2017 cult classic album. We also get into the state of Christian hip-hop, why nobody is vetted anymore, and spend a genuinely uncomfortable amount of time guessing Derek Minor's net worth to his face.In RELEVANT Buzz, the SBC voted to ban women from the pulpit and it wasn't close. Victory Boyd forgave Travis Scott and ended up in the studio with him. And Pharrell started his Christian rap era with a Voices of Fire song called "The One."In Slices, someone claimed a religious exemption from using AI at work, and Derek has decided it might be the greatest finesse in history. We also stop to mark World Refugee Day with an eye-opening conversation from the frontlines of Sudan about the world's largest humanitarian crisis happening there. Then One Has to Go closes it out: a suspiciously cheap dollar slice, Rambo in 2026, and the case against Shaq.Highlights:00:00 — Intro / Derek's frustrating tech updates 10:42 — RELEVANT Buzz: Victory Boyd & Travis Scott go from lawsuit to collaborating14:08 — The SBC votes to ban women in the pulpit 17:23 — Pharrell's "The One" with Voices of Fire 20:38 — World Refugee Day: the crisis in Sudan with World Vision's Grace Mavhezha 25:13 — Slices: A religious exemption to not use AI at work? 29:36 — RELEVANT Conversation: Andy Mineo & Wordsplayed on Magic and Bird 2 36:24 — The state of Christian hip-hop 40:16 — Putting Derek Minor's net worth on blast 51:51 — The five-week album rollout and why nothing breaks through anymore 56:24 — One Has to Go1:07:40 — OutroAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Segment 1 • The SBC is debating more than titles—what happens when women perform pastoral functions without the title? • Why do battles over words like pastor, elder, and overseer matter so much? • Liberalism rarely arrives all at once; it starts with a small crack in the door. Segment 2 • Can a pastor who is secretly living a double life truly finish well? • The SBC tackles immigration, political violence, technology, and religious liberty with surprising clarity. • Is national renewal possible through politics alone, or is something deeper required? Segment 3 • Why do so many people reject Christianity before they ever hear the gospel? • Dr. Jason Lisle argues the battle over Genesis is really a battle over authority. • If evolution removes the Creator, what happens to morality, purpose, and human accountability? Segment 4 • Young men are searching for answers—why is the manosphere filling a role the church could occupy? • Friendship, discipline, work ethic, and masculinity reveal massive discipleship opportunities. • What if teaching a boy how to be a man is actually a deeply theological task? ___ Thanks for listening!

Allie breaks down Albert Mohler's proposed “Truth and Unity Amendment” to the SBC constitution that would reinforce the biblical standard prohibiting women from filling any pastoral roles in a Southern Baptist congregation. She examines whether Christians should ask God for signs — like bluebirds — during decision-making, weighing Scripture against modern practices and emphasizing the sufficiency of God's word. Finally, Allie responds to pro-abortion claims that twist the Bible's silence on the issue, affirming the clear biblical value of unborn life. Allie ends the episode on a high note, interviewing Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt about her new book, "America, I'm So Glad You Were Born," exploring faith, patriotism, and raising the next generation with truth and hope.
