How can older men and younger men in ministry benefit one another- Do pastors have a role and responsibility to help encourage, guide, and instruct younger men in the church- Dr. Josh Philpot shares that Dr. Richard Caldwell is a seasoned pastor-minister who has participated in the instruction, teaching, and encouragement of younger men. Having benefited from this himself, Dr. Philpot asks Dr. Caldwell to share some principles for maximizing these kinds of relationships.

How important is it that believers take the relationship of holiness and God's Word seriously- Dr. Josh Philpot shares that 1 Peter 1 and 2 presents an extended section of the relationship between holiness and the reception of God's Word. Within this same section, Peter quotes the command from the Old Testament, calling believers to be holy because God is holy. Peter talks about how obedience to the truth leads to a life of purity and love that comes from the living and enduring Word of God. He tells believers to long for the pure milk of the word that we need to grow in holiness. Dr. Philpot points out that James 1 also makes this same point saying that we are to be doers of the word and not hearers only. Dr. Philpot asks Dr. Richard Caldwell, how serious is this- If believers are to progress in the Christian life, what are we to do- Is there any one way that's better than another- Today on the Straight Truth Podcast, Dr. Richard Caldwell seeks to answer these questions and more as he opens the Scriptures and guides us through some of these verses from 1 Peter.

This week on The Straight Truth Podcast, host Dr. Josh Philpot and Dr. Richard Caldwell's topic of discussion is the culture's mass confusion and distortion of masculinity and femininity. Culture today is fast-paced in its ongoing absurdities, perversions, and insanities relating to masculinity and femininity. The culture has no idea what it means to live as a man and what it means to live as a woman. But we are also seeing where some professing believers may not either. Some professing believers, in the name of Christ, have responded to this confusing chaos with versions of masculinity and femininity that do not match the Scriptures. God tells us in His word that He made us in His image. He made us male and female, and in these God-given two genders, male and female, we are meant to give full expression to His image. How can Christians best arm themselves to stand firm on biblical masculinity and femininity- What are some things Christians need to be mindful and aware of as we fight against perversions of God's design-
