Most of us are several weeks into the changes to our normal worship gatherings. How are you feeling? How is your congregation adapting to the necessary changes? We hope that you and your congregation are considering what things will look like post-pandemic. Dan and Jed have that discussion together and remain hopeful in the growth of the Lord’s Church.

In a time of social distancing, many are worried about the concept of “forsaking the assembly.” Dan would like us to closer examine Hebrews 10:24-25 and continue to look in the New Testament for the purpose of worship. Maybe we can find a deeper spiritual connection to the Sunday assembly during a time when we are being called to be physically separated. #loveGod #lovetheWord #Sharethelove #worshipfromhome #broadwayathome

Depending on your translation, 1 Timothy 3:15 calls the church a pillar, support, buttress, or even a foundation. What exactly does that mean within the context of 1 Timothy 3 and the letter as a whole? Does it change where our instruction as Christians comes from? Let’s take a look at the message Paul was sharing with Timothy and how it can inform us today, even within our current situation of a worldwide viral outbreak.

Christian discussions about music don't always have to be about "church music." How do we use our view of Christ and a Christian worldview into other music spaces in our life? Do I even think about my music and the messages I'm soaking in? This is something I try to challenge myself to do from time to time; so, I took your suggestions and am diving into a song I am unfamiliar with. Hopefully, this can provide you with an example and maybe some encouragement in undertaking this process for yourself. I was honestly surprised where this track led me.

Dan recently returned from his second trip to Israel and a common question he is asked is something about why he wants to go or if a Christian should go. He and Jed may be separated because of the quarantine measures currently in place, but they still manage to have a good conversation about this question and several others related to traveling to Israel.

What other questions do you have for Dan about traveling to Israel and the value of such trips?
