Covenant Life Talks

What is women's ministry? How does discipleship happen among women? How does diversity among our women testify to the grace of God? How do events for women help jump-start discipling relationships within the church?

What is the church, and what is incumbent upon the church when considering the ordinances given to it? Why do we observe the ordinances outdoors during COVID and not on Sunday mornings? If I only attend the outdoor gatherings, what am I missing on Sunday mornings each week?

What is CLI, and how does it help us accomplish our mission as a church? What classes are being offered, and what can I expect to learn from them?

Covenant Life Church exists to display God's glory by making disciples who delight in God, live together in gospel-centered community, and work for gospel renewal in Tampa Bay and the nations. How can we hope to continue that mission when we are isolated from one another? Justin and Charlie discuss on the fiftieth episode of Covenant Life Talks.

Covenant Life Church exists to display God's glory by making disciples who...work for gospel renewal in Tampa Bay and the nations. In an answer to our prayers, CLC will adopt two new residency programs designed to equip members as missionaries and church planters. Charlie Jackson and Justin Perry discuss these residencies and how the church can be invested in them through prayer and other involvement.

Christians will often desire for intimate, one-on-one relationships where spiritual growth can occur through more open and honest confession of sin, nuanced instruction, and focused study and prayer. While these are sweet and should be pursued, limiting the definition of discipling, or disciple-making, to those relationships would seem to miss the broader levels of ways CLC and other church faithfully make disciples through the regular means of church life. Jim and Charlie discuss how everything from the weekly gathering to opportunities for one-on-one connections are used to help make disciples of Jesus Christ.

The pastoral internship at CLC is part of our larger vision to see healthy churches continued and established in the Tampa Bay area and around the world. Listen to the discussion between Justin and Charlie to learn more about this program and how you can be involved.

Biblical counseling is a day-in, day-out ministry of the elders and many members of CLC. Over the course of the next 10 years, we hope to develop a team of biblical counselors who are led by Bob Walker that will serve the needs of the church at large. Bob sits down with Justin Perry to discuss this vision, and how we are taking active steps to see it come to fruition.
