In this sort-of sequel to "Hyles in Charge," an episode from two years ago, I've recorded a few other observations about some of the negative ramifications of an imbalanced view of the pastorate. Have a listen!

Last week, the United Methodist Church voted to redefine marriage and move forward in an LGBTQIA+ affirming direction. Why? Was it random or is there something more?

Say, what's the deal with people saying "amen" during the preaching? Is this Biblical? Is it good? Bad? Otherwise? Have a listen!

Ever been in a situation where you learned that someone didn't know you were a Christian until a little while into your friendship? Is this a bad thing? Depends. Maybe yes. Maybe no. There's a balance.

What's the deal with altar calls? Are they Biblical? Are they good? bad? As always, I think there's a balance. Have a listen!

It's been long held (and rightly so) that truth, goodness, and beauty are a trinity of sorts, each one inexorably connected to the other. However, I feel that beauty has been neglected in favor of the other two for too long. Balance is needed.

When to speak up? When to remain silent? What to say when we do speak up, and how to say it? When? Where? I hope you'll have a listen to some heartfelt (and hard-learned!) proverbial guidelines when it comes to speaking with wisdom.

How do we discern God's will for our lives? Is that even a thing? Have a listen.

Yep. This one's about that He Gets Us ad. Here we go.

This episode is a bit...different. I wasn't going to record one today due to the hectic business of life lately, but I decided to read a poem to you all instead. And yes, I'm aware the account in the poem is quite possibly fictitious, but it's beautiful nonetheless.
