Many of us here at ABC have loved ones who are in the Catholic Church and dont know how to respond when discussing faith with them.

We hope this conversation helps provide more background and enables you to have meaningful discussions with those you love.

Some people that we call family here at Aboite Baptist Church have come from a Catholic background. Some of us have loved ones who consider themselves Catholic, and still others of us are curious about what makes evangelical beliefs so different from Catholic ones.

Join Pastor Chase as he discusses some historical and theological differences that we need to be aware of when we talk about what differentiates us from the Catholic Church .

Who is a leader? What makes a leader? We all know someone in our life that helped lead us through circumstances, and decisions. Do Christians need to take leadership lessons only from Christian leaders, or can they learn from secular leaders as well?

In this episode Pastors Chase & Matthew discuss some historical examples of great leaders, what made them great and how that should impact the areas in which we lead in our lives.

In his famous Sermon on the Mount, from Matthew 5-7, Jesus addresses the common fear of "what will we eat?" and "what will we wear?" These are common, and indicative, examples of the very normal and every day concerns that plague us as human beings.

Anxiety is the fearful anticipation of a future negative event or situation and it is something we all wrestle with; therefore, we should understand what God has to say concerning worry.

In this episode Pastor Matthew walks through Matthew 6 & Philippians 4 and how they help us walk through the common and not-so-common fears of life.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth; at its pinnacle sat mankind: male and female. In episode 27 we discussed Great Pastors To Listen To and now, in episode 40, Pastor Chase is joined by two T2 Women's Ministry Team Leaders (Lorin & Shana) to discuss Great Women To Listen To.

Women often think through and process various theological truths, and scripture, differently than men, and so God's wisdom for women is that they should also look up to older and wiser women to help them as they walk with Christ.

In this episode, Lorin and Shana discuss women that they have appreciated, as well as organizations that you can turn to, to find wise women to speak into your life as you walk with Christ.

Join us in this, more whimsical, episode of the Aboite Baptist Church Podcast where Pastors Chase & Matthew talk about Christ Figures in Popular Culture.

Job's friends famously did one thing well: sit in silence with their friend that was grieving. In fact, as soon as they opened their mouths to speak they ended up doing harm to the one they loved.

In this episode Pastors Chase & Matthew discuss what a Ministry of Presence is, why it is vitality important for those of us who are struggling deeply, and why Gospel community is paramount to our efforts in carrying one another's burdens.
