    Is Every Christian Called to Evangelize?

    Is Every Christian Called to Evangelize?

    Not everyone is going to be a preacher, elder, teacher, or missionary... so how can they serve the church? What has God called them to do?
    We discuss:
    - How we've overrated ministry and church work and underrated other efforts- What is the end goal of "making disciples?"- What's true and untrue about "all of life is worship"- What "priesthood of all believers" means in practical terms- Is every Christian called to evangelize?- How the church has misunderstood kingdom work

    Summer is usually a church's busiest time of year as VBS, camp, and other events start to fill the calendar. We discuss the pros and cons of these events for spiritual formation. Topics include:


    Have youth and family ministries been sincere but misdirected from the start?


    When camps help young Christians grow into spiritual adulthood, and when they hinder


    The danger of building a walk with God around scheduled spiritual highs


    Is it time to reconsider VBS?

    Pharisees in the Church?

    Pharisees in the Church?

    "Pharisee" is a religious insult so broadly used that is often becomes almost meaningless. But the word does have a meaning, and it's important we understand it. We discuss:
    - The history of the Pharisees and why they weren't all bad- How progressives overuse the term- What Pharisaical Bible study looks like- What Pharisaism looks like in the church today- How to guard against a Pharisaical heart
    With Jack Wilkie and Joe Wilkie

    Rejecting Brain-Free Christianity

    Rejecting Brain-Free Christianity

    Not everything is a black and white, thou shalt/thou shalt not issue. For some, this means we should not talk about such issues but rather leave everything up to individual interpretation. Phrases like "But is it a sin?" and "You can't bind that" are thrown around to shut down discussion.
    But discernment is at the heart of Christian maturity. This week, we discuss the difference between the two approaches and why God wants us to engage our brains. Topics include:
    - The importance of discerning Good/Better/Best on any issue- Is it legalistic to get into specifics like school choices, entertainment options, etc.?- Why a "broad brush" is a good and proper tool for Bible teaching- Why avoidance of the controversial kills unity
