Ep 10|The Joy of Faithful Church Life - Featuring Tanner Tilton

In this special episode of Upon Further Review Podcast, Cody Kitchen and Dr. John Hall sit down with longtime Field Street Baptist Church member Tanner Tilton for one of the most heartfelt and entertaining conversations the podcast has had. From violin music and cattle work to prayer meetings, popcorn ministry, and baseball stories, Tanner’s sincerity and joy shine through the entire episode. Along the way, listeners hear stories about Tanner’s baptism, his attempt to baptize the family cat, his nightly violin practice sessions, his legendary collection of box fans, and the unforgettable church camp melatonin story that longtime listeners may already remember. More than anything, though, this episode is a reminder of the beauty of faithful church life and the joy that comes from loving people well. Tanner’s love for Jesus, his church family, and his service to others is evident throughout the conversation. It’s funny, wholesome, and deeply encouraging all at once.

Ep 6 |Bible Fellowship: More Than Just Sunday School

Welcome back to Upon Further Review, the podcast where we slow things down, take a second look, and talk about why we believe it and how we live it. In this episode, we take a closer look at Bible Fellowship—what it is, why it matters, and how it functions within the life of Field Street Baptist Church. While many may think of it simply as “Sunday school,” Pastor John Hall explains that Bible Fellowship is far more than a class. It serves as a central point of connection, discipleship, and care within the church. We discuss how Bible Fellowship creates meaningful community, supports member care, and provides a structured, text-driven approach to studying Scripture. The conversation also highlights why this ministry is essential to the life of the church—not as a requirement for salvation, but as a vital part of spiritual growth, accountability, and living out the Christian life alongside others.

Ep 5 | Resurrection Sunday: What It Is and Why It Matters

Welcome back to Upon Further Review, the podcast where we slow things down, take a second look, and talk about why we believe it and how we live it. In this episode, we turn our attention to the central event of the Christian faith—the resurrection of Jesus Christ. While the church gathers every Sunday in light of the risen Christ, Resurrection Sunday calls us to fix our attention more intentionally on the reality that Jesus lives and that our hope is anchored in Him. This is not simply a date on the calendar, but the foundation of everything we believe. Pastor John Hall walks through why the resurrection is essential to the Christian faith, drawing from 1 Corinthians 15 to show that without it, our faith would be empty and we would still be in our sins. The conversation also addresses why Field Street intentionally uses the term “Resurrection Sunday,” the importance of keeping the gospel at the center rather than relying on cultural additions, and how both individuals and the church can prepare their hearts for this significant day.

Ep 4 | The Lord's Supper: What is it and Why Does it Matter?

In this episode of Upon Further Review, Dr. John Hall and Cody Kitchen take a careful look at the meaning and significance of the Lord’s Supper. Far from being a routine part of church life, the Lord’s Supper is a continuing ordinance given by Christ Himself—meant to be observed with purpose, understanding, and reverence. This conversation brings clarity to what it is, why it matters, and how believers should approach it. Walking through 1 Corinthians 11, Dr. Hall explains the historical context behind Paul’s warning to the church in Corinth. The issue was not simply participation, but the condition of the heart. The Lord’s Supper is a sacred moment—one that calls for reflection, repentance, and gratitude as believers remember the cost of their salvation. The episode also offers practical encouragement for families, especially in helping children understand the meaning of the Lord’s Supper. Ultimately, this conversation points believers back to the cross, urging them to approach the table with humility, sincerity, and a renewed awareness of what Christ has done.

Ep 3 | Why the Next Generation Still Needs the Church?

In this episode of Upon Further Review, Cody Kitchen sits down with children’s minister Allison Kitchen and student minister Michael Pearson to discuss why consistent church involvement still matters for the next generation. In a culture where schedules are full and church attendance is often treated as optional, the discussion returns to what Scripture actually teaches about the role of the local church. Passages like Epistle to the Hebrews 10:24–25 and Epistle to the Ephesians 4:11–16 remind believers that spiritual growth was never intended to happen in isolation. The church exists to equip the saints, build unity in the faith, and help believers grow into maturity in Christ. Allison and Michael also speak directly to parents and families. While parents are the primary disciple-makers in their children’s lives, the church is designed to partner with them—providing community, discipleship, and an environment where children and students are known, supported, and encouraged to develop their own relationship with Jesus Christ.
