    Episode Nineteen - The Common Rule with Pastor Kurt Wetzel

    Spiritual discipline is a hotly discussed topic in popular Christendom, though not always in ways that we would identify as gospel-predominant. The Common Rule by Justin Earley is an award-winning book in which the author explores spiritual discipline with a cautious eye toward the legalism that often pervades the conversation. Did he manage to avoid the trap himself and provide a worthwhile read for us to establish healthy, practical frameworks for our lives as Christians? Let's discuss the book with Pastor Kurt Wetzel to find out! This will also serve as Phil's last episode as co-host of the podcast. Thanks so much for your work, Phil! We welcome Scott as our new co-host and editor of the Shepherd's Study going forward!

    Episode Eighteen - 9 Marks of a Healthy Church with Pastor Scott Henrich

    Having a healthy church sounds like a good goal. However, determining the "health" of a church is only as useful as the criteria that are used to define "health" in the first place. In this book, Mark Dever lays out a set of criteria for us to consider for congregational health. Pastor Scott Henrich joins Phil and Jared to critique Devers' 9 Marks and evaluate the evaluation.  The Shepherd’s Study podcast is produced by Grow in Grace to help pastors grow in the art and practice of pastoral ministry.

With these words, John Kleinig begins his book on the Lord's Supper with a posture that pastors will immediately appreciate: receiving from God what he offers in the sacrament.

    Episode Sixteen - Advent: The Once and Future Coming of Jesus Christ with Pastor Patrick Freese

    When many Americans hear the word "Advent," in the month of December, they may just think of a 24-compartment calendar with little bits of chocolate in each box. By observing the season of Advent, we are countercultural even within the context of American Christianity. How can we further utilize this great historic season to truly prepare the hearts of our people for the coming of Jesus Christ?

    Episode Fourteen - The Anxious Generation with Pastor Brett Krause

    Jonathan Haidt says we've got a problem on our hands. Literally, a problem is on our hands, in the palm of our hands, all the time.

    Episode Thirteen - Liturgy of the Ordinary with Pastor Jacob Behnken
