Don't miss this week's message by Teaching Pastor and Youth Leader, Sam Pharris. 

In this riveting discussion, Jeff talks to David Blease, Director of the Center for Israel at Gateway Church in Texas. They explore how Christianity, although entirely a Jewish sect in the First Century, became a separate religion that has largely lost its connection to Judaism. David Blease is an American pastor, Christian influencer, and podcast host. He is the Teaching Pastor at “Gateway Center for Israel” and a host for the “Covenant & Conflict” podcast series. David graduated from The King's University in 2016 with a degree in Christian Studies.In 2012, David attended the Gateway Conference, where he learned the Jewish context of scripture which significantly reshaped his understanding of the Bible. This newfound understanding helped deepen David's relationship with God, his passion for Israel, and his love for the Jewish people. He now dedicates much of his time to teaching the Church how to develop and foster a sincere love for Israel and the Jewish people. David Blease and his wife (Mikayla Blease) have three children and live in Dallas/Fort Worth.You can learn more about Center for Israel here: https://centerforisrael.com https://gatewaypeople.com/ Support the showIf you enjoy our podcast, please consider supporting the show HERE so that our Bible-based message about Israel can continue.

Listen to Rev. Dr. James E. Pedlar, Professor of Theology at Tyndale Seminary, where he holds the Donald N. and Kathleen G. Bastian Chair of Wesley Studies being interviewed by CBS Ambassador Andrew Stirling. In this episode, they discuss the value of different denominations and how the spiritual gifts and fruit of the Spirit are always in place to bring unity and glorify God in the Church.   In this episode, James and Andrew discuss: James' formative years growing up in the Salvation Army, where an intergenerational church family helped nurture his early faith and love for God. Hearing God's call to ministry, and how it was shaped by James' love for Scripture and the encouragement of mentors who guided him toward full-time service. The importance of grace, gifts, and fruit in discerning how the church recognizes and confirms a call to ministry. The Salvation Army and Free Methodist and the shared heritage and theology of these two Wesleyan movements. Teaching at Tyndale Seminary and how James is living out a pastoral calling through scholarship and theological education. The Biblical call to Christian unity and what Scripture teaches about ecumenism and why unity matters to the Church's witness. Understanding our differences in the Body of Christ by balancing truth and love in inter-denominational relationships. Living in a ‘post-truth' age and how the Gospel speaks into a culture obsessed with “my truth.” How discovering the work of the Holy Spirit in the Church empowers believers with gifts and helps to guide the Church. James shares about equipping future leaders amid cultural and technological challenges, and requests prayers for wisdom, faithfulness, and the next generation of leaders who will carry the gospel forward. Read the transcript: biblesociety.ca/transcript-scripture-untangled-s11-ep9The Rev.

The Colossian churches had shifted their attention from Christ to calendrical matters, mediatorial figures, mystical visions, and philosophical notions. Paul is calling them to focus on Christ, who is the center and circumference of reality. In 2:9, Paul's language makes Christ's full deity unavoidable and unmistakeable. Dr. Malcolm Yarnell III, who has been on this podcast before, is Research Professor of Theology at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and is Teaching Pastor at Lakeside Baptist Church. His publications include God, Volume 1 of Theology for Every Person. The second volume, Word, is forthcoming (February, 2026).

Have you ever wondered how to share your faith with confidence? In this message, Dr. Trent Langhofer teaches that evangelism is not about pressure or performance. It is about invitation. Through John 1, we see that evangelism begins with encountering Jesus personally and flows naturally from an authentic relationship with Him.Learn how to live a life that reflects the good news, engage skeptics with kindness, and share your faith in simple, meaningful ways. Evangelism is not for a select few. It is for every believer who has experienced the transforming power of Jesus.Listen as Dr. T shares how to:• Encounter Jesus personally before inviting others• Engage skeptics with empathy and curiosity• Share your story with confidence and compassion• Live a life that points people to JesusJoin us as we continue our Practicing the Way series at Trace Church in Colorado Springs.

Regular listeners to this podcast, or regular readers of MinistryWatch, know that we have spent a lot of time covering Christian education. The reasons for our coverage are many. Christian colleges are among the largest Christian institutions in the country, taking in billions of dollars each year. Secondly, what happens in Christian colleges and seminaries often directly affects the church. So even if you don't have kids in college now, or ever, your life and your church will be impacted by what is going on at Christian and secular colleges in this country. Thirdly, higher education – including Christian higher education – is in the midst of a tremendous transition. Demographics, technology, and a national conversation happening now about the value of a college education are all causing Christian colleges to face challenges they have never faced before. That's one reason I wanted to talk with Dr. Ed Stetzer. Ed Stetzer is the Dean of Talbot School of Theology at Biola University and Scholar in Residence & Teaching Pastor at Mariners Church. He has planted, revitalized, and pastored churches; trained pastors and church planters on six continents; earned two master's degrees and two doctorates; and he has written hundreds of articles and a dozen books. More to the point for our conversation today, he helps lead one of the few institutions of Christian higher education that is growing.  I wanted to ask him why, and how, that was happening. Thanks for tuning in today to my conversation with Ed Stetzer. In addition to all the things I mentioned about Ed at the top of the program, he is also Regional Director for Lausanne North America, is the Editor-in-Chief of Outreach Magazine, and regularly writes for news outlets such as USA Today and CNN. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. Until next time, may God bless you.

You were not created to do life alone. In this week's message from our Practicing the Way series, Dr. Trent Langhofer teaches from Mark 2 about the paralyzed man carried to Jesus by his friends. This story shows us the power of community to carry us when we are weak, anchor us when we want to give up, strengthen our faith, and celebrate when God brings breakthrough.Through Scripture and real-life examples, Pastor Trent reminds us that lasting change begins with inner transformation and that God designed His church to walk together in faith.

What do we do when it feels like God isn't on our side? In this episode of Shifting Culture, I talk with Joshua Ryan Butler about his new book God Is On Your Side and the ways he's wrestled with that very question through seasons of heartbreak, illness, and despair. Josh takes us into the Gospel of John, where one-on-one encounters with Jesus become mirrors for our own stories - the paralyzed man, the woman at the well, the man born blind, Lazarus in the tomb. Each scene reveals a God who sees us before we see Him, who calls us beloved, and who can turn even the hardest places into holy places. This conversation is about finding hope in the dark, learning to trust God in uncertainty, and remembering that we are never abandoned.Joshua Ryan Butler is a Teaching Pastor with the Willamette family of churches in the Portland area and the author of God is On Your Side, The Party Crasher, Beautiful Union, The Skeletons in God's Closet, and The Pursuing God. Josh loves shifting paradigms, to help people who wrestle with tough topics of the Christian faith by confronting popular caricatures and replacing them with the beauty and power of the real thing. He and his wife, Holly, along with their three children, live in Portland, Oregon. They enjoy spending time with friends over great meals and exploring the scenic beauty of the Pacific Northwest.Josh's Book:God is On Your SideJosh's Recommendations:Art of MemoirUnbrokenSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “abundance out of scarcity” with a discussion about the benefit of godly friendships during tough times. We briefly flipped through 1 Samuel, Chapters 18-20, to see how Jonathan was a friend to David during a tough time. We then had a call segment where we asked our listeners to share a story about a time when God provided them with a friend when they needed them the most. Then Drew Hunter joined us to discuss the beauty and community in godly friendship and how to find it. Drew is the Teaching Pastor of Zionsville Fellowship, where he provides overall leadership, biblical teaching, and serves as an Elder. He graduated from the Moody Bible Institute and the graduate schools of Wheaton College. He also authored the book, “Made for Friendship: The Relationship That Halves Our Sorrows and Doubles Our Joys.” We then had Nick Hall join us to talk about the growth of digital evangelism and how God has called us to rise. Nick is an evangelist and the Founder and President of Pulse Evangelism, an organization that exists to make Jesus known by reaching the lost and unleashing the evangelist. He is also the President and CEO of The Table Coalition, which exists to catalyze partnership within the American Church so that more people know Jesus.
