For the Saints

How much has the institutional systems of the Catholic and Anglican churches influenced us as Protestants? In today's episode the answer to that question becomes a little more clear as the guys discuss clergy. Are we closer to the world or the Kingdom of God in the way approach ministry positions? Let's let the Scriptures be our guide. Enjoy!

Every church has a Sunday morning routine. In fact, most of those routines are hundreds if not thousands of years old. But when was the last time you asked yourself or your leaders where they got the ideas for the things they're do? Are they biblical, traditional, or both? Does that even matter? Those are exactly the type of questions that Adam and David wrestle with in this episode. You just may be surprised at what you learn.

Have you ever wondered how much of what we do when we gather as the church is actually in the Bible? Does the Bible even teach us how we ought to be worshiping God? In this series Charlie and Adam will be joined by special guest David Fields to discuss some difficult questions regarding the church and how we worship. The aim of this series is to draw us all into God's Word to challenge our traditions and motives behind our worship. We welcome you to join us in this valuable conversation and may Christ be exalted through it.

In this episode Charlie and Adam conclude their series on discipleship discussing the role of correcting in biblical discipleship. Correcting in discipleship cannot be successful apart from the other areas discussed throughout this series. We hope you find this challenging and encouraging. May the Lord bless you immensely in your efforts to discover and exercise true biblical discipleship.

When was the last time you thought about training yourself or other believers as a necessary part of the Christian's call to discipleship? Who has time for that? Right? Charlie and Adam discuss training as a part of discipleship that we must make time for. It is in our training that we are prepared to face the ugly realities of life and become equipped to advance the kingdom of Christ in the face of those realities. Enjoy!

Discipleship certainly involves teaching but that is only half of what it takes to accomplish biblical discipleship. It's often messy, difficult, and sometimes downright heartbreaking but true discipleship must occur within the confines of our every day lives. We belong to Jesus. We are not our own. He bought us with a price and every facet of our lives must be submitted to his use. In this episode Charlie and Adam discuss what modeling in discipleship looks like both biblically and practically. Enjoy!

We all agree that discipleship involves teaching, but perhaps there are aspects of teaching in discipleship that we are missing or taking for granted. Charlie and Adam explore teaching in discipleship outside the box and beyond our traditional understanding. We hope you are challenged and inspired by this discussion.

Biblical discipleship begins with love, a love for the Trinity and a love for the body of Christ. Without love, discipleship is mechanical, legalistic, and dangerous. Charlie and Adam explore the Scriptures to lay a foundation of love for discipleship. They hope you enjoy the conversation and most of all that your love for Jesus and his body will increase as a result.

Charlie and Adam are back with a series on biblical discipleship. Over the next several weeks they will be discussing what believers are to expect after someone professes faith in Jesus. Their goal is to equip the saints for the work of discipleship. They look forward to you joining them on this journey.

In this closing episode Charlie and Adam discuss a biblical foundation, a biblical motivation, and biblical methods for sharing the gospel. They also discuss how the gospel story applies to our study of the Scriptures.
