    #322 Serving God in Sin City in 2024: How One Las Vegas Church is Impacting its City and State with Matt Teis

    In 2020, I interviewed Pastor Matt Teis about the remarkable impact of Liberty Baptist Church in its zip code.

    #320 The Acts, Chapter 11

    In this chapter, Peter tells the church leaders in Jerusalem that the Gospel is for all people.

We also learn more about the encouraging ministry of Barnabas, and the watching […]

    #319 The American Future: 4 Reasons We Should Not Give Up on the American Experiment

    What do you think about the future of the United States? Should we expect and just accept further division and decline? Can the United States remain, well, united amidst differing worldviews and visions for the future of the country? The national debt, the temperature of our political rhetoric, the departure from Biblical principles, the dysfunction […]

    #318 Why and How Christians Should Engage in Public Policy and Elections

    Are we loving our neighbors well if we say nothing about the public policy issues that profoundly impact their lives, families, and faith? This will always be a question affected by conscience and calling, but I believe the general answer is no. We are citizens in a participatory democracy with authority and, therefore, responsibility. Our […]

    #317 The Acts, Chapter 10

    In Acts 10, an angel appears to a God-fearing Roman, Peter receives a repeated reminder that the gospel is for all people, and the Holy Spirit falls on the Gentiles just as He fell on the Jews at Pentecost.

The Good Citizen

Knowing how to be a good Christian and a good citizen at the same time is not always easy. It can be difficult to know who you should vote for or how you should help your local community. The good citizen makes a good argument that as Christians our faith should consist of more than just sitting on a chair or pew on Sunday, but should instead consist of being more faith active in our daily lives and following Christ’s example. Helping the poor, showing compassion to the sick, and loving our neighbors (no matter what they look like). The Good citizen touches on several important issues such as: racial injustice, religious liberty, freedom of speech, equality, Biblical doctrine, and Christian ethics. This is a very informative podcast and is sure to hit a topic or subject matter you might find interesting.
