Randy shares an analogy about finding one's life's purpose through the support of five close friends and the realization that life is brief, with an average of 30,000 days. They highlight the role of encouragement and the need for older people to stay active and engaged. Randy's ministry at Watermark Church, focused on intergenerational mentoring, has seen 20 people sign up to mentor younger generations.

Guest: Kylen Perry, pastor at Watermark Church, Dallas, TX   Every man is made, but are you reactive (responding to life's situations) or proactive (learning, listening, seeking to grow and mature)? Discipleship is a proactive relationship where individuals share what they are learning in terms of their spiritual life with others.   Resource recommendation: J.T. English - Deep Discipleship: How the Church Can Make Whole Disciples of Jesus There must be space for learning and gathering There has to be relationship and training in godliness   What men have you “dignified the voice of” in your life - that you'll listen to their wise counsel and they can speak hard truths into your life? We all need “truth tellers” in our lives - and we need to be open to receive truth from those people.   Mark of maturity - you can learn to listen to truth…regardless of the person who delivers it or how it is delivered.   Where can you find those “truth tellers” - those older men who can disciple you - they are part of the body of Christ, the church.   One of the best things you can do as a young person - commit yourself to a cause greater than yourself! There is no greater cause than advancing the Kingdom of God and growing closer in your relationship with Christ.   Isaiah 66:2 - But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word.   God will not anoint any other version of you other than the one that He created and designed for you to be!   T4M guys - just a reminder that Training4Manhood is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) ministry and you can make donations either via Zelle (info@training4manhood.com) or by visiting the Training4Manhood website.

As pastors and ministry leaders, how can we engage with the deconstruction of one's faith in a way that truly reflects Jesus? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Scot McKnight and Tommy Preson Phillips. Scot has been a professor of New Testament for more than four decades and has written over 90 books. Tommy is the pastor of Watermark Church in Tampa, Florida, as well as a songwriter and recording artist. Scott and Tommy collaborated on a new book entitled Invisible Jesus. Together, Scot, Tommy, and Jason contrast the prevailing view that many ministry leaders have about those who are deconstructing their faith with what many deconstructors are actually experiencing in their faith journey. Tommy and Scot also offer some words of hope, encouragement, and support for pastors who are experiencing deconstruction in themselves, in their family members, or in the people they serve.Dig deeper into this conversation: Find the free Weekly Toolkit, including the Ministry Leaders Growth Guide, all resource links, and more, at http://PastorServe.org/networkSome key takeaways from this conversation:Tommy Phillips on the dynamic nature of faith and the desire for a deeper, more meaningful relationship with Jesus that prioritizes love and compassion: "Most people are deconstructing to find a more loving, more Christ-like, way to follow Jesus.'"Scot McKnight on the significant process of evaluation and clarification happening within the Church: "I really believe that there's a big sorting out of things going on right now in the Church."Scot McKnight on the interplay between crisis, questioning, and renewal through a deeper connection with Jesus: "The quest in the deconstruction is to find some resolution to what caused this crisis, and it leads to an encounter with Jesus."----------------Looking to dig more deeply into this topic and conversation?

Join us in taking a hard look at what it's going to take to restore the essence of the American Idea and save the culture – if that's even possible anymore. This nation, because of it's biblical foundation and principles, used to be a light to the world founded on inalienable rights from God such as free speech, the right to protect yourself and loved ones, and religious liberty.  The truth is that the American Christian Church is at best ineffective and at worst complicit in moral degradation of this nation – some people don't like to hear that, but it's true. Most churches refuse to speak the truth about the most pressing moral issues of the day because they don't want to be “political”. But if we want to enjoy the blessings of Liberty again the church is going to have to step up. Meet Todd Wagner.Todd is a former Pastor of Watermark Church in Texas for over 20 years and navigated thru the covid years before he resigned that post and started the 1613 Project and The Remnant. He understands the need for biblical courage in the era of cancel-culture.https://theremnantnews.org

Faith vs. Manifestation  What is Manifestation? Manifestation is the idea that you can bring a positive outcome into your life by simply “claiming” it as your own and believing it will happen. secular idea that we are in control of our futures. We have free choice but the Lord directs our path/outcome. “When you try to manifest a result, you are attempting to pull God out of the equation.” -Watermark Church *6min mark -820min What is true faith? Faith is simply trust. Genuine faith, belief, and trust will move us to action. Basic elements of Faith: Faith that God exists Commitment to believing Believing that He reveals himself in scripture. (Gotquestions.org) Taking God at his word and trusting Him to do what he promised. Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Faith takes risk and trust. “Living by faith and not by sight” Corinthians 5:7 Don't mix this up for an irrational impulse, not bathed in prayer. Seek counsel from other believes and truth in God's word. Acts of Faith in The Bible: Noah building the ark. Abraham preparing to sacrifice his son. Rahab sheltering spies in her home. David using a stone to defeat Goliath. Peter walking on water. “Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him” Hebrews 11:6 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thefreedompodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thefreedompodcast/support

Tommy is the senior Pastor at Watermark Church and a recording artist known as Preson Phillips. This dude is both a great student and teacher with a deep love and commitment to placing the Bible in its 1st-century Palestinian Jewish context, and then bringing its meaning to the surface for modern application in a way that is engaging and enlightening. This strange time we are in makes for some interesting reflection for the life of the church as gatherings have needed to stopped all together. Tommy shares about standing alone in his yard to preach an Easter message to his iPhone at sunrise, his observations about how his community is adapting, and also how those same ancient stories serve as a guide for today. Any conversation with Tommy is something of a Bible study and his passion and gifting are quite clear. Whether you are a Christian or not I am sure you will find this conversation interesting and engaging. enjoy. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theworkethic/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theworkethic/support

Between 2014 and 2017, the divorce rate in Jacksonville, Florida, and surrounding Duval County fell 24 percent. Of course, divorce rates are falling nationally already because fewer people are bothering to get married. Still, 24% is a huge number, especially compared to a 6 percent decline nationally and a 10 percent decline across the state of Florida during the same period.   What happened in Jacksonville? The difference was the commitment of local Christians to go beyond lamenting the state of the family and to actually do something to help married people.   Behind these efforts was the unifying work of a group called Communio, whose goal is to help churches “strengthen marriages and families in their community.” The group uses a data-centered approach to identify couples in crisis, and then elevates “best practices” to offer help to these couples.   In Jacksonville as elsewhere, data continues to show that “churches are the best at strengthening marriages.” After all, what other social institution can offer the sort of surgical precision needed to identify and connect with couples? What other institution is as scattered, de-centralized, and localized? This insight is obvious once you think about it, but unfortunately, it's rarely put into practice, especially at the kind of scale needed to make a difference.   Communio worked closely with churches across denominations to create programs to supplement marriage preparation and marriage enrichment programs. These programs both identified and helped couples who showed signs of being at risk of divorce; signs such as “struggling with anxiety, financial stress, or substance abuse.” Whenever couples were identified as fitting the criteria for “the greatest level of marriage difficulty,” they “would be directed into more intensive programs like Live the Life's Hope Weekend.”  Altogether, between 2016 and 2018, 59,000 people attended a four-hour or longer program in Jacksonville. That's nearly 12 percent of all adults between the ages of 18 and 64. In contrast, in 2015, only 300 people attended similar programs.   Because “less than 20 percent of U.S. evangelical, Catholic, and mainline churches have any budget for marriage ministry,” that low 2015 number isn't surprising. Connecting and sharing resources between churches is an absolute game-changer.  For example, consider Watermark Church in Dallas. Their intentionality to strengthen marriage in Dallas is, like Communio's efforts in Jacksonville, a model other churches can and should follow.  In the last decade, over 100,000 people have participated in the church's “re|engage” program in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, a program that intends to change the way marriage is done in the area. And, Watermark is sharing its program widely. Chances are, there's a church in your area that's been trained in and employing re-engage.   What's happening in Jacksonville and Dallas embody an important truth summed up by Communio's executive director J. P. De Gance, who was my guest on the BreakPoint podcast: “The federal government cannot fix marriage, but churches can.”  Indeed, we can, if we decide to light a candle instead of merely cursing the darkness. If, we do not succumb to what Jacques Ellul called the “political illusion,” which is the tendency to look to the government to fix all of our problems, and instead employ the vast network and personalized potential of the church to the hurting and lost, we can make an incredible difference. Strengthening marriage and the family is a task God has assigned to the Church. Delegating that task to any other institution is not only a dereliction of duty, it's a failing proposition. And, the efforts of Communio and Watermark remind us that this task is not easy, but it is doable.    

CrossPolitic Network presents Law and Profits by Marcus Pittman. On his first episode of Law and Profits, Marcus looks at a video from Pastor Todd Wagner of Watermark Church as he tells his congregation how unjust it is for employers to make so much more money than their employees. But what does the Bible say about this?
