Tom and Greg start the discussion trying to define what a seeker sensitive church is (2:00), discuss positive things that they do (6:00), move into some less helpful aspects of seeker church (16:00) before launching into a broader discussion of contextualizing the gospel (25:00), what it looks like to drive people away (32:30), and end with talking about where Tom fits seeker churches in a broader understanding of church (35:00) and what Greg ultimately thinks about them (39:20).

We talk through Todd Chapman’s emphasis on author’s intent in his ministry (1:40), ambiguity in language (9:20), how it affects his preaching (19:50), his change in perspective and excitement over the text (28:30), and the Holy Spirit’s role and our responsibility (42:30).

Greg and Tom talk through teaching ministry in the church (1:10), Why we teach what we teach (11:10), and are Sunday mornings the best place to teach (38:30).

Greg couldn't make it, so James filled in for him. They talk what the difference between teaching and preaching is (5:30), positives and negatives of both (25:00) and their own journeys on what they want (38:00)
