He pastors Chiesa Reformata Filadelfia, where he focuses on expository preaching, administering sacraments, and tending to the congregation. Brown is actively involved in evangelism, outreach, discipleship, and aims to establish the first Reformed and Presbyterian denomination in Italy.

With Brown's missionary insights from Italy peppering the conversation, listeners can expect an episode rich in theological depth and pastoral compassion.The dialogue delves into the new Reformation catechism on human sexuality, particularly focusing on part four - restoration. The nuanced narrative explores themes such as confession, repentance, mortification of sin, and the transformative power of Christ's obedience. As they unravel the complexities of sin and the grace of redemption, Brown emphasizes the essence of identity in Christ as a pivotal anchor for Christians. The summary encapsulates not only the theological foundation but also the necessity for community and church support, offering a comprehensive guide for anyone grappling with sexual sin while seeking to walk in purity and newness of life.Key Takeaways:Sexual sin, while grave, is a battle like any other sin and doesn't define a Christian's identity, which is securely found in Christ.Confession, repentance, and a godly sorrow that leads back to the Gospel are crucial steps for those struggling with any form of sexual sin.Sanctification is a lifelong process where the Holy Spirit gradually makes believers more like Christ through means such as the word, sacraments, and Christian fellowship.Understanding personal identity in Christ is liberating and pivotal for the Christian life, influencing family, marriage, and community engagements.The church is characterized as a hospital for sinners, where believers must support, not shun, each other in struggles with sin, including sexual immorality.Notable Quotes:"The person who comes in, into the church who is homosexual…we cannot look at that person and say, ooh, gay lesbo…We have to have a posture of humility and compassion towards one another…""Our growth in sanctification really leads us to believe the Gospel more…as one Puritan put it, the pathway to holiness is paved with a good sense of our own wretchedness.""Everyone has a battle against sin, whether we're talking about lust…or we're talking about anger…everyone has a battle to fight because we're not glorified yet."Resources:No specific resources or URLs were mentioned in the transcript.Engage with this enriching conversation fully by listening to the episode and gain clarity and encouragement on your spiritual journey.

The latest episode of "48 Minutes" begins with Bruce Bernstein's analysis of Jaylen Brown's new contract with the Boston Celtics followed by a discussion with Ross Geiger and Michael "World B" Freer on the preseason prognosis for the new look C's. Ross then asks Bruce & World B three questions he's dying to know the answers to. Each panelist will count down their top 5 teams heading into the season, share their 5 favorite all-time players by position, and conclude with a game of "What They Said/What They Meant." We'll even examine the new ESPN/ABC broadcast team of Mike Breen, Doris Burke, and Doc Rivers. ======== 0:00 ... Hello and Welcome ... Ross dedicates show #59 to Rajon Tucker. 1:05 ... Bet OnLine Live commercial read 1:42 ... Opening Comments: Bruce on Jaylen Brown's new Supermax contract with the Celtics and why the franchise did it. 3:47 ... World B defends Kawhi Leonard who was named to a list that nobody would choose to make. 5:28 ... Ross on Thanasis Antetokounmpo's new contract with the Bucks and why it is money well spent. 7:21 ... With Brown's new riches, the addition of Kristaps Porzingis, and Derrick White's increased role, the guys discuss whether the Celtics will be better or worse than they were last year. 11:30 ...

In the third hour, Mike Mulligan and David Haugh discussed former Chiefs offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. landing with the Bengals on a four-year deal worth up to $64 million. With Brown off the board, how will the Bears address their need at tackle? Could they draft one at No. 9 overall?
Three people were seriously injured in an early morning crash on Whitlock Avenue in Marietta Monday. The crash happened around 6 a.m. Monday morning when a car crossed over the centerline on Whitlock Avenue near Winn Street, according to Marietta Police Department spokesman Chuck McPhilamy. The vehicle collided head-on with another vehicle headed in the opposite direction. McPhilamy said the drivers of both vehicles were seriously injured in the crash, while a passenger in one of the cars was ejected from the vehicle and also seriously injured. The three injured people were taken to the hospital. There could soon be two Ojularis playing defense in the NFL. Two years after former Georgia linebacker Azeez Ojulari left Georgia to turn pro, his bother, BJ, an edge-rusher and outside linebacker and LSU, is about to follow him. The former Marietta High School standout made it official Sunday when he made the announcement on social media. Ojulari is looking to follow in the footsteps of his brother, who was selected by the New York Giants in the second round of the 2021 draft with the 50th overall pick. Ojulari, a 6-foot-3, 250-pound junior, has had 58 tackles, 5½ sacks, 8½ tackles for loss and a forced fumble this season, earning All-Southeastern Conference first-team honors. Over his three-year career in Baton Rouge, he has had 129 tackles, 25 tackles for loss, 16½ sacks and 25 quarterback hurries. LSU is scheduled to face Purdue in the Citrus Bowl on January 2. It has not been determined if Ojulari will play in the bowl game. Ojulari has been projected to be a late first-round or early second-round selection in April's draft. ESPN analyst Todd McShay has Ojulari ranked as the fifth-best outside linebacker on his draft board, behind Alabama's Will Anderson, Army's Andre Carter, Georgia Tech's Keion White and Georgia's Nolan Smith. Fellow ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. has Ojulari ranked seventh. Sonja Natasha Brown was sworn in Thursday evening as the newest judge on the Cobb Superior Court bench. Brown, a Cobb magistrate judge and past president of the Georgia Association of Black Woman Attorneys, replaces retiring Judge Robert Flournoy III. She defeated James Luttrell in a runoff election this summer with 64% of the vote. As a Superior Court judge, Brown will be tasked with handling felony criminal cases, civil disputes, real estate matters and more. With Brown's accession to the bench, she becomes the third Black person to hold a Superior Court judgeship in Cobb, after Kellie Hill and Angela Brown were elected in 2020. Chief Magistrate Judge Brendan Murphy noted the Superior Court bench will also now, for the first time, be majority woman. Despite cloudy skies at Piedmont Church's annual “Christmas at Piedmont,” children flocked to the petting zoo's goats and llamas and waited in a lengthy line for a snow slide with a tube. And, of course, there was the opportunity to share wish lists with Santa. Meanwhile, more than 20 elementary school choirs performed on two stages, and people shopped for the holidays at an arts and crafts market of local vendors during the free event off Piedmont Road. Marlon Longacre, one of Piedmont's pastors, estimated 13,000 to 15,000 people attended the two-day event. Last year's event raised $24,500 for local schools, according to Longacre. This year's main sponsor was Superior Plumbing. Longacre said the event provided an outlet for the music programs of schools in unincorporated northeast Cobb, comparing it to holiday events usually thrown by city governments, like Santa's arrival in Acworth. Piedmont Senior Pastor Ike Reighard, also CEO and president of the nonprofit MUST Ministries, said he hoped the event allowed parents with busy schedules to see their kids perform. Wheeler suffered its first loss of the season in a battle of nationally ranked teams. Number 10 Columbus, from Florida, defeated the Number 7 Wildcats 73-70 on Saturday in the Battle of the Peach at Wheeler High School. Columbus was led by a combined 44 points by the Boozer brothers – Cameron and Cayden – the sons for former NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer. Wheeler led 37-32 at the half, but Columbus rallied in the third quarter to take a 56-51 lead behind 14 points in the period by Cameron Boozer. Wheeler's Isaiah Collier, Jelani Hamilton and Arrinten Page combined for 57 of the Wildcats' points. Wheeler will travel to Florida to play Tampa Catholic in the City of Palms Classic on Friday. At the Battery Atlanta there is an ongoing holiday double feature — Santa himself, behind the desk of one of his many remote offices, and a holiday market featuring minority-owned businesses. Sponsored by Truist, through Christmas Eve, “Santa's Post Office” will be open at 800 Battery Ave. People can visit and take pictures with Santa while delivering their wish lists to Santa and do some holiday shopping, complimentary gift wrapping included. Visiting with Santa is also free. Odette Shirley owns the self-care boutique Maison Jovence and said that on the first day of the holiday market, her business made about double what her pop-ups usually make. She sold out of many of her candles. Another business owner, Omar “Chilly-O” Mitchell, said he was happy to see the support for Black-owned businesses. His clothing company, Chilly-O Culture Co, has been a mainstay of the Atlanta street wear scene, according to Chilly-O's partner for this pop-up, who goes by the name Lurchero. Chilly-O and Lurchero said they go way back in the Atlanta art scene. Lurchero is the creator and owner of Only Positive Energy, a brand that curates and produces art exhibitions and events around Atlanta. Only Positive Energy partnered with Chilly-O Culture Co for the holiday market, jointly selling Chilly-O's clothes bearing the OPE brand. Santa, the ultimate holiday celebrity, was a major draw, according to parents at the market. Avery Kaczynski, a 6-year-old from Vinings, said she asked Santa if she was on the good list. She added that she hopes to get a coffee-making set to practice her barista skills. She wants to be a barista someday. #CobbCounty #Georgia #LocalNews - - - - - The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.

Earlier this week news broke that Tar Heel head football coach Mack Brown had hired Phil Longo to be UNC’s new offensive coordinator. Longo joins the staff after being the OC at Ole Miss for the past two seasons, where his offense put up very strong numbers in the SEC. With Brown’s staff mostly complete, UNC fans have a multitude of questions about how UNC football may look going into the 2019 season from a schematic perspective, especially on how the air raid style of offense Longo brings will mesh with the 3-4 attacking style of defense defensive coordinator Jay Bateman employed at Army. Inside Carolina’s Buck Sanders and Jason Staples join host Jon Seiglie to attempt to answer those questions, and also to give their reactions to the hiring of Longo. Learn more about your ad choices.
