Culture Matters

Zack Eswine, pastor of Riverside Church in Webster Groves, Missouri, and author of several books, including Sensing Jesus and The Imperfect Pastor joins us to discuss the importance of recognizing our own humanity, especially for pastors and ministers. We talk about common temptations that cloud this sense of humanity and daily rhythms that can help regain it.

This week Matt and Josh are joined again by JT English, Pastor of Training for The Village Church Institute, and by Adam Hawkins, Spiritual Formation pastor at our Plano campus. They discuss guns, gun control laws, why this is all such a big deal and how we should view this controversial issue as Christians.

We discuss how Christians should approach Halloween and have a discussion with author Brad Lomenick about leadership in and outside the Church. 

We're joined by David Platt, the current President of the Southern Baptist Convention's International Mission Board, to talk about international missions and the Syrian Refugee Crisis. 

We discuss the purpose and outworkings of the weekend gathering on Sundays and have a conversation about God's heart and intention for vocation and the work we do.
