Is Infant Baptism Biblical?

Christians have debated baptism for centuries—but what does the Bible actually say? Is baptism meant only for those old enough to profess faith, or is there a biblical case for baptizing children? Together we'll explore Scripture, tradition, and the heart of God's covenant with His people. ginghamsburg.org

In this episode of People of the 'Burg, Dave Goins shares a remarkable story of how God transformed grief, depression, and broken relationships into a life marked by hope and service. From finding Christ in an unexpected Wednesday night church visit to helping launch New Path Outreach and Joshua Recovery Ministries, Dave's journey is a powerful reminder that God can use every part of our story for His glory. Whether you've been at Ginghamsburg for years or are just getting to know our community, you won't want to miss this inspiring conversation.

Does God Command Genocide in the Old Testament?

Few questions trouble readers of the Bible more than the violence of the Old Testament. Did God really command the destruction of entire nations, and if so, how do we reconcile that with a loving God? This week we'll wrestle honestly with one of Scripture's most difficult passages and discover why context matters more than quick conclusions. ginghamsburg.org

Witness in a Resistant World

Speaking about your faith has never felt more complicated. In a world quick to dismiss, debate, or cancel, it's tempting to stay silent. But Paul shows us that a compelling witness doesn't begin with winning arguments—it begins with courage, humility, and a transformed life that people can't ignore. ginghamsburg.org

Intimacy in a Digital World

We're more connected than ever, yet loneliness continues to rise. We scroll, swipe, text, and post—but genuine intimacy has become increasingly rare. This week explores God's design for authentic relationships, reminding us that real intimacy isn't built on algorithms or attraction, but on vulnerability, commitment, and being fully known. ginghamsburg.org

The current of culture always flows toward more. More money. More status. More for me. But the kingdom of God flows the opposite direction. Generosity breaks the grip of greed and reminds us that a meaningful life is not built on accumulation, but on open hands. ginghamsburg.org

What does it look like to live a life marked by gratitude and generosity?

In this episode of People of the 'Burg, Pastor Sarah sits down with Jim Taylor, whose journey from a humble childhood in rural Kentucky to business ownership, global missions, and decades of faithful service at Ginghamsburg is a powerful testimony to God's faithfulness. Jim shares how life's blessings—and challenges—shaped his commitment to serving others, from providing transportation for neighbors in need to supporting life-changing ministry around the world.

Join us for an inspiring conversation about faith in action, the joy of giving back, and the legacy that can be built one act of kindness at a time.

Freedom in a Captive World

We call it freedom—but so much of modern life leaves us addicted, distracted, anxious, and owned. Captured by screens. Approval. Consumption. Politics. Fear. Jesus offers a different kind of freedom: not the freedom to do whatever we want, but freedom from the things that quietly enslave us. ginghamsburg.org

Patience in a Drive-Thru World

Everything around us screams now. Faster answers. Faster success. Faster healing. Faster everything. But God rarely works at the speed of our cravings. This week confronts the exhaustion of hurry and asks what becomes possible when we stop fighting for control and learn to wait well. ginghamsburg.org

Compassion in a Hate-Filled World

It’s easier than ever to dehumanize people we disagree with. Culture trains us to sort, label, mock, and move on. But Jesus moved toward the rejected, touched the untouchable, and saw people others avoided. Compassion may be one of the most rebellious acts left. ginghamsburg.org
