Culture Matters

We sit down with Beau Hughes, the Lead Pastor of The Village Church Denton, to talk about the pros and cons of multi-site and the future of church planting. 

After taking a break for the summer, we return with a conversation about Matt's sabbatical, our fall sermon series on The Apostles' Creed and how we should respond to and engage with our current cultural climate. Special guest Dr. Karen Swallow Prior, author and professor of English at Liberty University, provides clarity on how we might approach abortion and the Planned Parenthood scandal, as well as same-sex marriage.

Pastor and author Mike Cosper joins the show to discuss the relationship of culture to worship and liturgy in the church. They also examine the connection between worship and discipleship, bad vs. good media, and how parents can make informed decisions about media consumption for their kids.

Our own Trevor Joy joins Josh and Matt to discuss what Covenant Membership is and why we do it, in light of our upcoming classes. They also share some lessons learned in developing ministries over time and how to turn a vision into a reality.

We're joined by author and pastor Sam Allberry to talk about same-sex attraction from a biblical perspective and seek to answer the question at the heart of Sam's new book, Is God Anti-Gay?
