    S2EP5: Are We Living in the Last Days? (And Why You Shouldn't Panic)

    Are we living in the last days? With headlines flashing, culture shifting rapidly, and social media buzzing with apocalyptic predictions, it’s easy to slide into panic, fear, or endless speculation. In this episode of Say That Again, Pastor Jason, CJ, and Chevas are joined by special guest Lauren Tonge to cut through the noise surrounding the return of Christ.   Together, they dig into what Scripture actually says about the end of the age - moving away from sensationalized predictions and back to the heart of Christian discipleship. The team breaks down:   Expectation vs. Speculation: Why the return of Christ was written to give believers hopeful expectation and comfort, not fuel fear or conspiracy theories. The "Alarmist Culture" Trap: How media and technology amplify fear, and why we run to God in a crisis but forget Him in times of comfort. Understanding End-Times Perspectives: A broad look at how faithful Christians approach prophecy, the Day of the Lord, and the return of Christ without breaking fellowship. A Pastoral Call to "Come Home": A tender word for those who have grown spiritually cold, tired, or asleep after going through hard seasons, reminding them of God's welcoming grace. Preparation vs. Fear-Driven Survivalism: Why billionaires building bunkers miss the point, and how the Church is called to make disciples and serve the "least of these" until Christ returns. Living Awake in a Distracted Age: Why the greatest threat to the modern Church isn't persecution, but being lulled to sleep by the world.   Whether you're fascinated by biblical prophecy, feeling spiritually weary, or overwhelmed by modern culture, this conversation offers a grounded, gospel-centered, and hopeful roadmap for navigating the last days with confidence.   In this episode, we cover: The Return of Christ: Why Christ's return is the central hope of the New Testament outside of salvation itself. Hope vs. Fear: Shifting from apocalyptic speculation to hopeful, present-day faithful living. 2 Timothy 3 & 2 Peter: Examining biblical descriptions of culture in the last days (lovers of self, lovers of pleasure, loss of the fear of God). Spiritual Apathy & Grace: Pastoral encouragement for believers who feel distant or weary after suffering, inviting them back to the Father. Practical Preparation vs. Survivalism: Reclaiming the mission of making disciples (Mark 16) and translating Scripture globally over building survival bunkers.

    S2EP4: Am I Succeeding At The Wrong Things?

    What happens when the drive for success starts taking over your heart, your rest, and your relationships? In this honest and deeply personal episode of Say That Again, Pastor Jason Britt and host CJ Moneke are joined by Executive Pastor Kevin Miller to tackle the heavy weight of ambition, performance, and gospel-centered identity.   Together, they dive into John 15 to unpack the crucial distinction between achievement (visible metrics, status, and impressing others) and fruitfulness (abiding in Christ, relational depth, and blessing others). Pastor Jason shares openly about his personal wrestling with leadership anxiety, hitting walls that felt like burnout but were actually God breaking him, and learning to surrender the constant need for approval.   Guilt Around Rest: Unpacking bad habits with Sabbath and why high-capacity leaders struggle to pause and celebrate God's work. The Danger of "The Next Mountain": Why achieving your next milestone won't fix what is broken inside you. When Failure Feels Existential: Why criticism or coaching triggers defensive identity crises when our value is tied to applause. Family Leftovers: Recognizing that success owns us when the people closest to us get what's left over instead of our best. The Antidote: Using biblical community, Philippians 4 contentment, and honest self-checks ("Search me, O God") to keep motives pure.   Whether you're leading a team, building a career in your 20s, or striving to be faithful in everyday life, this episode provides a liberating roadmap to stop performing for the applause of culture and start resting in your identity in Christ. In this episode, we cover: Redefining Success: How societal standards of success (money, status, recognition) clash with biblical fruitfulness. Achievement vs. Fruitfulness: Breaking down John 15—visible metrics and performance vs. abiding in the Vine and blessing others. Burnout vs. Breaking: How God uses seasons of exhaustion to break our self-reliance and draw us back to dependence. Guilt Around Rest & Sabbath: How a drive toward "the next thing" keeps leaders from resting and celebrating wins. Identity & Criticism: Why receiving coaching or correction feels like an identity crisis when identity is built on approval. Family Getting Leftovers: Identifying when success has become an idol—starting when spouse and kids receive depleted energy. The Antidote: Using biblical community, Philippians 4 contentment, and Psalm 139 prayers to guard the heart against ambition.   Timestamps:   00:00 — Intro & Welcome: Introducing Pastor Kevin Miller 01:19 — High School Superlatives & Preschool Presidents 02:51 — Defining Success: Applause, Affirmation, and Achievement 05:35 — The Big Question: What If You Succeed in Things That Don't Matter? 07:05 — John 15: The Vine, the Branches, and Abiding in Christ 08:55 — Achievement vs. Fruitfulness: Visible Metrics vs. Lasting Good 10:47 — The Addiction to Performance: Why Success Is Never Enough 14:07 — Facing Pastoral Pressure: Striving for Peace Through Metrics 16:00 — Burnout vs. Breaking: How God Rescues Us from Performance 18:00 — Deep Soul Desires: Distorting God-Given Purpose into Surface Success 20:46 — Grounding Prayers: Praying for Humility over Platform 22:20 — 1 Corinthians 4 & Psalm 139: Clearing Your Conscience Before God 25:50 — Red Flags of Success: When You Can't Celebrate Someone Else's Win 27:50 — Wounds, Performance, and Finding Rest in Your Identity 28:58 — Guilt Around Rest: The Shadow Side of Rushing to the "Next Thing" 31:03 — Family Leftovers: Knowing When Ambition Has Taken Over 32:04 — The Danger of "The Next Mountain" & Learning Contentment 35:04 — The Antidote: Community, Accountability, and Filtered Motives 37:55 — Encouragement for CJ, Teasing Upcoming Episodes, and Outro Episode Resources:   📖 Scripture References: John 15:1–5 Mark 8:36 1 Corinthians 4:3–4 Philippians 4:11–13 Psalm 139:23–24   Calls to Action (CTAs)   Subscribe & Like: Hit the subscribe button and like the video to help reach more people.

    S2EP3: S*x, Lies, and Identity (It’s NOT What You Think)

    ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains direct, mature conversations about biblical sexuality, pornography, intimacy, and mental health. Viewer and listener discretion is advised, especially for younger audiences. Podcast Description: What does it look like to follow Jesus in our confusing, cloudy, and complicated culture? In this episode of Say That Again, Pastor Jason, Chevas Phillips, and CJ Moneke tackle a topic the world is loud about and the church cannot be silent on: sex, sexuality, and identity. Cutting through the awkwardness and shame, the team breaks down why biblical sexuality starts with God’s creation rather than a list of prohibitions. They discuss how modern culture has shifted sexuality from something you do to who you are, and why trusting God's authority over our body and desires is the ultimate test of discipleship. Plus, the conversation gets deeply practical: Winning the War for Your Mind: Moving from retroactive accountability to stopping temptation at the “desire” level. Towers of Defense: The power of Scripture internalization over simple memorization - storing up "warring verses" before the battle hits. Parenting in a Digital Age: Why parents must bring a wartime mentality to technology, boundaries, and phone monitoring. Grace & Truth: How to treat every individual with Imago Dei dignity without sacrificing biblical truth. Whether you're single, married, or raising kids, this episode offers a freeing, gospel-centered roadmap for walking out sexual integrity in a hyper-connected world. In this episode, we cover: Pre-Christian vs. Post-Christian Culture: Applying early church biblical ethics to modern secular society. Creation vs. Prohibition: Why biblical sexuality originates in God's creation design, not a list of restrictions. Authority & Identity Shift: Addressing how culture shifted sexuality from what you do to who you are, and trusting God as the ultimate authority. Light, Community & Accountability: Overcoming isolation and shame by bringing struggles into the open at the “desire” level. Proactive Spiritual Defense: Developing a "wartime mentality" through intentional time with God, Scripture internalization, and "warring verses." Parenting & Digital Safety: Establishing boundaries, active phone monitoring, and spiritual leadership in a hyper-connected world. Truth with Grace: Engaging people with dignity and respect regardless of lifestyle differences, rejecting both condemnation and compromise.   📖 Bible Passages Referenced Genesis 1:27: Humanity was created male and female in the image of God (Imago Dei). 1 Corinthians 5 & 6: Christian freedom, sexual ethics, and fleeing sexual immorality. John 8:1–11: Jesus, grace, and the woman caught in adultery (neither condemning nor condoning). Psalm 119:9–11: Guarding one's path by storing God's Word in the heart to combat sin.

    S2EP2: Can Christians Drink, Get Tattoos & Listen to Secular Music?

    Host: Pastor Jason Britt  Guests: CJ Moneke & Chevas Phillips  Podcast Description: What’s the difference between holy living, wisdom, and legalism? In this episode of Say That Again with Pastor Jason, Jason, CJ, and Chevas tackle some of the questions Christians often ask: Can I drink? Can I get a tattoo? What about the music I listen to? What shows can I watch? How do I know if something is actually sinful - or simply a matter of wisdom? The conversation explores how easily personal convictions can become universal rules and why following Jesus isn’t about walking the closest possible line to sin. Instead, we’re called to keep our eyes on Jesus, walk in wisdom, listen to the Holy Spirit, and recognize that every believer is in a different stage of the sanctification process. Whether you’ve been hurt by legalism, struggled with gray areas, or simply want to grow in wisdom, this episode offers a freeing reminder: wisdom isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about making decisions that honor Jesus. In this episode, we cover: Legalism takes our eyes off Jesus and places them on rules, behaviors, or personal convictions. There’s a difference between clear biblical truth and personal conviction. Unique convictions should not automatically become universal principles. Holiness means being set apart because of Jesus - not being better than others. Wisdom is about decision-making, not intelligence. The right question in many gray areas isn’t simply, “Can I do this?” but “Is this the wisest thing for me?” Your story, struggles, season of life, and position can all influence what wise living looks like. Sanctification is a process - forgiveness happens in a moment, but change happens over a lifetime. We can’t manufacture life change or microwave discipleship. We have to trust the Holy Spirit’s work in people. Surrounding yourself with trusted voices who want God’s best for you is essential for spiritual growth. Everyone is in a different place in their journey, so we should lead with grace, truth, encouragement, and patience. Ultimately, wisdom has a name: Jesus.

    In this episode, Pastor Jason Britt sits down with longtime friend, mentor, and veteran podcaster Mike Linch - Lead Pastor of Northstar Church and host of Linch with a Leader - for a transparent conversation about what it actually takes to go the distance in faith, leadership, and community impact.   In a culture obsessed with quick wins, viral clips, and instant platforms, Jason and Mike unpack the counter-cultural power of longevity and resilient redundancy. They look at the changing cultural landscape from 2020 to 2026, dealing with the painful realities of leadership - like navigating hyper-sensitive cultural optics and learning when to simply "let the disgruntled grunt" while keeping a "screen door" policy of open-hearted love.   Finally, Mike shares an incredible, perspective-shifting story from the baseball diamond that reminds us of our true identity: wherever you are placed on the map, you are a "minister in disguise." Whether you are a parent at the dinner table, a corporate leader, or a coach on the field, this episode will challenge you to stop overestimating social media clout and start leaning into the profound influence of everyday discipleship.   In this episode, we cover: The Anchor of Longevity: Why staying in one place long-term kills ego, builds deep trust, and keeps you grounded. Church FOR the Community: Re-positioning the local church to become the city's first call for help by serving with no strings attached.

Recognizing the needs of the people in your natural life path. 24:15 – Moving at the Speed of People: Why Jesus’ greatest ministry moments were actually interruptions. 26:17 – 10 Years of Lynch with a Leader: Core takeaways from a decade of interviewing iconic Christian leaders. 28:45 – Sweeping the Streets: True greatness found in the mundane. 31:30 – Intentional Curiosity: Why leaders must never assume they have a corner on the market (and Andy Stanley’s driver). 34:19 – Resilient Redundancy: How doing the same core things over and over builds the magic of momentum. 35:33 – The Battle and the Build: Managing burnout, emotional weariness, and personal rhythms in ministry. 38:49 – Letting the Disgruntled Grunt: Navigating the emotional toll of people leaving and why we need "screen door" relationships. 43:31 – The Post-2020 Shift: Leading through a landscape hyper-sensitive to optics, assumptions, and misread moments. 45:31 – Digital Boundaries: Practical strategies for protecting your peace on X, LinkedIn, and Instagram. 47:57 – Ministers in Disguise: The inspiring home plate prayer story and the unmatched value of everyday influence over social media clips.   Episode Resources https://mikelinch.com/ Bethlehem Church Website   Call to Actions (CTAs)   Identify Your Assignment: You are a minister in disguise.
