    People who planted mustard seeds

    Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie Most of the people who changed my life never tried to. They weren’t aiming to be memorable or influential—they were simply doing what came naturally.  In this episode, I reflect on the men and women who planted small mustard seeds in my life and opened doors I didn’t know existed.  Decades later, their influence continues to grow.        Between Preachers When you find a "mustard seed," please share the address of this podcast with a friend: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2369804/episodes/17566838 Website for Braden Parsons Photography Braden Parsons' email:  bradencparsons@gmail.com If you'd like to discuss your roofing needs, call Jerrie Wayne Barber, II, at 931.628.3390  This podcast is brought to you in conjunction with the Ministry League Network.

    When a church splits

    Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie Church splits leave scars that last for decades—not just on congregations, but on hearts.  In this episode, I revisit a painful division involving people I loved on both sides, the fear of being “marked,” and the long road toward understanding what scripture really teaches about doctrine, conflict, and unity.  Episode 92 isn’t about choosing sides—it’s about choosing faithfulness, long-suffering, and biblical wisdom when a church tears itself apart.  If you’ve lived through a church split—or fear one may be coming—this conversation is for you.        Between Preachers When you find a "mustard seed," please share the address of this podcast with a friend: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2369804/episodes/17566838 Website for Braden Parsons Photography Braden Parsons' email:  bradencparsons@gmail.com If you'd like to discuss your roofing needs, call Jerrie Wayne Barber, II, at 931.628.3390  This podcast is brought to you in conjunction with the Ministry League Network.

  4. Elders learning to be better shepherds

    Elders learning to be better shepherds

    Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie Being an elder is more than a title—it’s a calling. In this episode, we examine Peter’s appeal to elders and Jesus’ model of shepherding to ask hard questions about leadership.  Drawing from 1 Peter 5 and John 10, we challenge common assumptions and call all leaders to Christ-shaped shepherding under the Chief Shepherd.  If you care about the health of the flock, this episode is for you.

    Talking to elders about money

    Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie Most preachers don’t learn how to talk to elders about money in school—they learn it the hard way.  In this episode, I start with my own bad example and trace the lessons that came from awkward questions, unspoken assumptions, and embarrassing moments.  From unpaid vacations to refusing a raise out of fear, to discovering the wisdom of written agreements, this is an honest, practical conversation about money, trust, and leadership.  If you’re a preacher, an elder, or anyone who cares about healthy church relationships, this episode may save you years of confusion—and a few sleepless nights.

  6. How to leave a church

    How to leave a church

    Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie Most preachers spend years preparing for sermons, visits, and beginnings—but almost no time learning how to leave a church well.  In this episode, I share what I learned the hard way through painful exits, family strain, an abrupt dismissal, and, eventually, thoughtful and healing departures.  From quoting the Sermon on the Mount to avoid criticism, to sitting in living rooms saying “thank you,” “I love you,” and “goodbye,” this is a candid look at how endings shape congregations, families, and future ministry.  Whether you’re a preacher, an elder, or a church member who knows change is inevitable, this episode’ll challenge you to think differently about how we say goodbye—and why it matters more than we realize.

    Try not to learn very much

    Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie Have you ever felt overwhelmed by trying to change everything at once—and ended up changing nothing? What if real growth isn’t about learning more, but about learning less and actually using it? Could one small, “mustard seed” habit make more difference in your life than all the books, classes, and seminars combined? Why do small, consistent steps often lead to lasting change while big bursts of motivation fade so quickly?

  8. Why would anybody do that?

    FEB 23

    Why would anybody do that?

    Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie What if the people who frustrate you most aren’t being rebellious—but genuinely believe they’re doing the right thing? How did Jesus respond to people committing the greatest sin in history—and what does that mean for the way we correct others today? Does believing that “everyone is right in their own eyes” change how you talk to irritating brethren, disappointing leaders, or even your own family? When you confront someone, are you aiming to win an argument—or to win a heart?
