    Super Bowl Sunday vs. The Lord’s Day: Where Is Your Worship?

    Send a text 🚨 Join us on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@CourierConversationsPod 🔔 Subscribe for weekly updates 📬 Send in your questions to courierconversations@gmail.com Is Super Bowl Sunday really the “best Sunday of the year”? Or does that mindset reveal something about what we truly worship? In this episode of Career Conversations, Jeff Robinson and Travis Kearns discuss a question many Christians don’t often stop to ask: When does football become idolatry? As the NFL promotes slogans like “Sundays are for football,” believers must wrestle with a deeper issue—what is the Lord’s Day actually for? This conversation explores: What Scripture teaches about the Lord’s DayWhether watching football on Sunday is sinfulThe difference between enjoyment and idolatryHow historic Christians viewed Sunday worshipWhy every Sunday is Resurrection SundayWhether Super Bowl Sunday can ever be the “best” Sunday of the yearReferencing voices from church history like John Bunyan and Eric Liddell, Jeff and Travis think through how modern evangelical culture may have drifted in its understanding of worship, rest, and recreation. This episode isn’t about condemning sports—both hosts love football. It’s about examining the heart. When does something good become something ultimate? If you’re a Christian who loves sports, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to think biblically about the Super Bowl, the Sabbath, and the glory of Christ. ------------------ WEBSITES: baptistcourier.com courierpublishing.com INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/thebaptistcourier instagram.com/courierpublishing1821 FACEBOOK: facebook.com/thebaptistcourier facebook.com/p/Courier-Publishing X: x.com/BaptistCourier x.com/Courier1821 x.com/CourierConvos

    Standing Firm Without Compromise: Why Theology Matters for the Church

    Send a text 🚨 Join us on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@CourierConversationsPod 🔔 Subscribe for weekly updates 📬 Send in your questions to courierconversations@gmail.com In an age where compromise is often treated as a virtue, how can churches stand firm without becoming harsh or unloving? In this episode of Courier Conversations, Jeff Robinson and Travis Kearns discuss why theology matters, why church membership is more than a club, and how pastors and church leaders can remain faithful to Scripture in a truth-hostile culture. Drawing from Jude, 1 Corinthians, and the broader witness of Scripture, they explore the relationship between orthodoxy and orthopraxy, the dangers of shallow theology, and why every Christian—not just pastors—must contend earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the saints. ------------------ WEBSITES: baptistcourier.com courierpublishing.com INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/thebaptistcourier instagram.com/courierpublishing1821 FACEBOOK: facebook.com/thebaptistcourier facebook.com/p/Courier-Publishing X: x.com/BaptistCourier x.com/Courier1821 x.com/CourierConvos

    Weren't We Right About Hell?

    Send a text 🚨 Join us on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@CourierConversationsPod 🔔 Subscribe for regular updates 📬 Send in your questions to courierconversations@gmail.com Is hell eternal conscious punishment, or will the unrepentant ultimately be annihilated? In this episode of Courier Conversations, Jeff Robinson and Travis Kerns examine the biblical doctrine of hell in response to renewed discussion sparked by Kirk Cameron and advocates of annihilationism. Drawing from Scripture, the Baptist Faith and Message 2000, and the teachings of Jesus, they explore whether the Bible affirms eternal conscious torment or conditional immortality. Whether you’re a pastor, theologian, or Christian seeking clarity, this episode offers a thoughtful, Scripture-centered examination of one of the most sobering doctrines in Christianity. ------------------ WEBSITES: baptistcourier.com courierpublishing.com INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/thebaptistcourier instagram.com/courierpublishing1821 FACEBOOK: facebook.com/thebaptistcourier facebook.com/p/Courier-Publishing X: x.com/BaptistCourier x.com/Courier1821 x.com/CourierConvos

    Introducing Courier Conversations for Women

    Send a text 🚨 Follow Courier Conversations for Women: https://courierconversationswomen.buzzsprout.com Welcome to the very first episode of Courier Conversations for Women, a new faith-based podcast from the Baptist Courier designed to encourage, equip, and disciple women through the truth of God’s Word. Hosted by Mary Margaret Flook, reporter and social media manager at the Baptist Courier, alongside Hannah Miller, trustee and experienced podcaster, this inaugural conversation introduces the heart, vision, and biblical foundation of the show. In this episode, Mary Margaret and Hannah share their personal stories—from singleness to marriage and motherhood, missions, homeschooling, and ministry—and explain why this podcast exists: to magnify Jesus Christ and help women grow deeper in their love for Him. Drawing from Scripture, biblical counseling principles, and real-life experiences, they discuss how the glory of God shapes everyday life, womanhood, relationships, parenting, purity, patience, and spiritual growth. Rather than offering feel-good advice, Courier Conversations for Women is rooted firmly in Scripture as the ultimate “plumb line” for truth, helping listeners apply God’s Word practically in every season of life. Whether you’re single, married, a mom, or navigating a new chapter, this podcast aims to encourage discipleship, deepen delight in Christ, and point women back to the gospel as the source of true joy and transformation. 🎧 Subscribe for monthly episodes and join the conversation by emailing courierconversations@gmail.com with questions or topic ideas.

    Should We Sing That in Church?

    Send a text How do songs shape what we believe? In this episode, we explore how theologically-rich, Christ-centered songs form Scripture, strengthen faith, and guide churches toward gospel-centered worship. From Holy, Holy, Holy to A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, we unpack why certain hymns endure and how they disciple believers long after Sunday morning. We also address a key question for pastors and worship leaders: Should we sing songs from sources with questionable theology? We discuss stewardship and why a song’s origins matter. You’ll hear trusted recommendations—from the Gettys and Sovereign Grace to Indelible Grace and modern Scripture songs—plus a simple grid for evaluating lyrics and building a stronger, more intentional song list. If you care about worship that matures believers and magnifies Christ, listen in, share with your worship team, and join the conversation. ------------------ WEBSITES: baptistcourier.com courierpublishing.com INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/thebaptistcourier instagram.com/courierpublishing1821 FACEBOOK: facebook.com/thebaptistcourier facebook.com/p/Courier-Publishing X: x.com/BaptistCourier x.com/Courier1821 x.com/CourierConvos
