Perspectives With Pastor Lance Pastor Lance Lewis

In this episode, Pastor Lance interviews Pastor Rob Wooten and speaks about his book "Through The Valley."

What is deconstruction and why are so many evangelicals engaged with it? This episode of Perspectives with Pastor Lance from NCF of Sacramento continues our interview with Minister James Petropoulos on some of the issues, questions and even challenges to evangelical Christianity.  We address some of the factors that motivate deconstruction as well as some of its positive aspects. We end with a ministry initiative called Beer and the Bible led by Minister James that seeks to address some of the issues raised by deconstruction.

Perspectives with Pastor Lance opens our second season with an interview with James Petropoulos. James grew up in Sacramento and after coming to faith in his early 20's got connected with Pastor Lance through a friend of his. We cover James' call to ministry, early ministry activity, what led him to Westminster Seminary West, how the Lord led him back to Sac and the special blessing God gave him while in seminary.

We end our first season of Perspectives with Pastor Lance with an interview with Dr. Tim LeCroy. Dr. LeCroy serves as a PCA pastor and adjunct professor at Covenant Seminary. We spoke with him concerning his role as the chair of the PCA Ad Interim Committee on Domestic Abuse and Sexual Assault. It was a sobering conversation on the nature of the report, the prevalence of abuse within the PCA and how local churches can make good use of the report. You can find a link to the report in the show notes of our program. https://pcaga.org/aic-report-abuse/

We were beyond blessed to spend some time with sister Genafine Bartoo who serves as the Church Relations/Good Neighbor Team Coordinator for World Relief of Sacramento. We discussed God’s call on her life to serve in this way, her work with World Relief of Sacramento, along with practical ways churches and individuals can obey the biblical mandates to love those who are in the process of seeking refuge. Sit back, take some notes, and be refreshed from this dear servant of God and please be sure to check out the World Relief of Sacramento website for ways to serve along with them.https://worldrelief.org/sacramento/
