Encouraging Word Podcast - Rocky River United Methodist Church

In this interview, Paul and Steven get the privilege of interviewing Steven's own father. Gary Young, who just recently retried, worked at the City Mission in Kansas City, MO for twenty years and prior to that pastored two churches, church planting one of them. The episode is full of wisdom and insights from over twenty years of faithful service to the Lord.

In the third and final installment of After Acts: The Early Church series Paul and Steven continue their conversion about major church leaders who impacted the church then and now through their teachings and lives. On this podcast they discuss: Ambrose, John Chrysostom, Jerome, and Augustine.

This week Paul and Steven move a little farther ahead in the timeline of the church looking at 2nd generation of Christian right before the Council of Nicaea. Listen as they speak about: Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Tertullian, and Origen.

Paul and Steven are starting a new podcast series on the early church after the lives of the apostles. Typically called the early church fathers, Paul and Steven will begin an introduction into the lives of the early church fathers and how they shaped the church. Much of their influence is still with us today!

Paul and Steven wrap up the 1 John study with exploring 1 John chapter 5. In this chapter we ask: How do we know we love God? What does water, blood, and Spirit mean? What does it mean to "not continue to sin"?
