Is a recession really coming, or is this the new normal for the housing market? Dave Meyer and J Scott unpack how post-2008 shifts, record debt and money printing, tariffs, and AI are changing the rules, then connect inflation and the labor market to mortgage rates and interest rates so you can gauge what moves them next. You will get a risk-off playbook for today's deals, including conservative underwriting, assuming flatter rents and higher vacancy, buying at today's rates, and favoring fixed-rate debt, plus why single-family housing prices are usually resilient outside of severe shocks. Their housing market prediction and forecast: expect mostly stable home prices with modest moves while mortgage rates hover near current levels, with bigger swings only if jobs crack hard or inflation reaccelerates.

What does it really take to spark a movement in your parish? Small groups are both easier—and more challenging—than we think. They're not sustained by participants or materials alone, but by vision, culture, and structure. In this episode, I share why small groups can be pandemic-proof, recession-proof, even persecution-proof—if they're rooted in mission, shaped by a culture of accompaniment, and supported by strong leadership structures. Discover how to build small groups that don't just care for those inside the room, but expand outward to transform your parish and beyond.

Your kids don't need perfect parents- they need parents who point them to God. In this message, we'll confront the ways we fail, uncover the Gospel's power in our homes, and discover what it truly means to represent God to our kids. Get ready to be challenged, encouraged, and equipped to parent with purpose.

In this passage, the Apostle Paul gives his emotional farewell to the Ephesian elders, reminding us to:Serve the Lord with humility and tearsPreach the whole counsel of GodGuard the flock against false teachingFinish the race with joy no matter the costMain scripture: Acts 20:17–38; Acts 19; Luke 3:16;

Culture shapes everything we do in Small Groups. It can be defined as the shared beliefs, values, behaviors, and practices of a particular group of people. Each group, to some degree, has it's own individual culture.  We want our groups to reflect Biblical values through their culture. Join us and give some thought to the culture of your small group as we investigate what it is, why it matters, and how leaders can influence it intentionally.Send us a textThanks for listening to the Great Groups Podcast.

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comWhat explains the persistence and appeal of Christian patriarchy in contemporary America? In this episode, journalist and author Sarah Stankorb (Disobedient Women) examines the theological and institutional architecture surrounding **Doug Wilson, Christ Church, Canon Press, and the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC)*. Drawing on years of investigative reporting, Stankorb situates Moscow, Idaho, as both a local case study and a national model for the diffusion of patriarchal theology through publishing, education, and digital media.The conversation explores how discourses of submission and hierarchy provide not only a template for family and congregational life but also a framework for civic and political engagement. We analyze the implications of head-of-household voting, institutional cover-ups of abuse, and the theological rationales that normalize gendered power disparities. Stankorb highlights survivor narratives as essential sources of data, underscoring how authority structures can perpetuate cycles of harm under the guise of religious fidelity.By situating Wilson's project within broader debates over Christian nationalism, religious liberty, and political theology, this episode raises critical questions about the entanglement of faith and authoritarianism in the American public square.Disobedient Women:How a Small Group of Faithful Women Exposed Abuse, Brought Down Powerful Pastors, and Ignited an Evangelical Reckoninghttps://bookshop.org/a/112456/9781546003816Articles by Sarah:https://www.vice.com/en/article/inside-the-church-that-preaches-wives-need-to-be-led-with-a-firm-hand/https://www.elle.com/life-love/opinions-features/a64637668/tradwives-escaping-patriarchy-social-media-interview-2025/ Support the show

Book Title: The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689 Author: Jonathan HealeyHeadline: The Gunpowder Plot's Enduring Legacy The 1605 Gunpowder Plot, an attempt by a small group of Catholics to destroy James I and Parliament, deeply shaped English politics. It fueled anti-Catholic paranoia, associating Catholicism with tyranny, foreign powers like Spain and France, and arbitrary government. This fear of a "popish plot" became a recurrent theme for the next 80 years, influencing decisions up to James II's reign. 1653 OLIVER CROMWELL

If you're tired of stale and stagnant Christianity, then it's time you move to the middle! If you're looking for something transcendent and transformative, then it's time to lock into Meaningful Community. 

In this homily on September 7th, 2025, Fr Mathias preaches Part 1 of the preaching series on small groups. Father outlines reasons why small groups are a game-changer for having the humility, courage and perseverance necessary to follow Jesus to heaven. Since often the most faithful, resilient, and joyful Christians are the most supported Christians, Father strongly exhorts us to consider forming a small group, so we can flourish in the Christian life. The vision for what this looks like and how to do it is the subject of next week's homily.  

Discipleship: Trusting and Receiving with Robbie Eng | Disciple Makers Podcast In this insightful episode of the Disciple Makers Podcast, host Josh engages in a deep conversation with Robbie Eng from True Face. Robbie shares his personal journey and the pivotal shift from a performance-based faith to one rooted in trusting and receiving God's love. They discuss the importance of correct beliefs and philosophy in creating effective discipleship environments and the impact of leaders' personal spiritual health on their ministry. Robbie emphasizes a relationship with God based on trust and receiving over merely knowing more and doing better. Tune in to discover practical ways to foster healthy discipleship cultures in your ministry and personal life. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 01:05 Meet Robbie Eng: A Journey of Faith 02:41 The Importance of Small Groups in Discipleship 03:34 Understanding True Face and Its Impact 05:03 The Core of Discipleship: Beliefs and Philosophy 10:05 Practical Applications and Leader Development 12:02 The Role of Identity in Ministry 16:10 Creating a Culture of Trust and Receiving 32:24 Final Thoughts and Resources Get Discipleship.org's premium Podcast Feed: https://disciplemakerspodcast.supercast.com/  Check out the following eBooks from Discipleship.org: -- What Is Church?

The discussion opens with lighthearted banter, quickly establishing a tone of vulnerability and friendship that sets the stage for the episode's core themes. Robby shares his journey through various ministry roles, from Young Life staff to international disaster response with Samaritan's Purse, professional counseling, and leading small groups at North Point Church. He describes how his experiences shaped his understanding that spiritual growth is most effective in the context of authentic relationships, but also acknowledges the widespread problem of “lame” small groups that fail to foster real transformation. The heart of the episode centers on the subtle but critical distinction between doing ministry for God out of a sense of earning versus operating from a place of received identity and grace. Robby and Josh both reflect on how easy it is for ministry leaders to derive their sense of worth from their roles and achievements, rather than from their identity as beloved children of God. Robby recounts a pivotal moment during his time in Pakistan, where he realized that his drive to “do more and know more” for God was rooted in pride and a misunderstanding of the gospel. He emphasizes that true discipleship is not about earning God's love, but about trusting and receiving it, which then naturally overflows into loving action. The conversation unpacks how beliefs about God and self form the foundation for ministry philosophy and, ultimately, the environments and outcomes in churches. Robby argues that most leaders focus on tweaking environments or adopting new resources, but the real transformation comes from regularly revisiting and realigning core beliefs and philosophies. He illustrates how a leader's internal posture—whether rooted in striving or in secure identity—directly shapes the culture and effectiveness of their groups. Josh and Robby discuss practical implications for church leaders, highlighting the importance of developing leaders who are secure in their identity and philosophy before focusing on group formation or equipping. Robby outlines four key areas for churches: developing leaders, supporting leaders, getting people into groups, and equipping those groups, stressing that leader development is the most crucial and often overlooked step. The episode concludes with practical resources, including True Face's “The Cure” and discipleshipframework.com, and an invitation for leaders to reach out for support. Ultimately, the conversation calls ministry leaders to examine their motives, root their identity in Christ, and lead others from a place of freedom, trust, and genuine love.

In Acts 18, we see the Apostle Paul arrive in Corinth, partner with Priscilla and Aquila, and boldly proclaim the gospel despite opposition. God speaks to Paul in a vision, reminding him: “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking, for I am with you.”This chapter reminds us that God strengthens His people in times of weakness, raises up faithful partners in ministry, and advances the gospel even in difficult places.Main scripture: Acts 18:1-4, 7-8; Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Peter 2:9; 1 Corinthians 12:12; 2 Corinthians 5:18-20; Psalm 23
