Welcome to the Men's Breakfast table! In this conversation, we unpack one of the Fruits of the Spirit that tend to get away from many of us as men-- gentleness. It's more than just being a gentleman and holding doors or shoveling snow off cars; we're called to meet discord, conflict, and even aggression with gentleness (in love). It's not easy! Pastor Bob helps us wrestle with the opposing tendencies within us as we look at what it means to balance the tension between our preconceptions of "manliness" with what Scripture shows us. Gentleness is not weakness! Check it out!

Welcome to the Men's Breakfast Podcast! We're so excited to be kicking off SEASON 2 with brand new episodes every week to sharpen and encourage! In this episode we look at a couple verses in Ephesians and Colossians about making allowances for other people's faults because God forgave and loved us first!

And STAY TUNED in coming weeks for new guests, authentic and gritty discussions, and hopefully some extra encouragement for all of us. I'm so glad to be BACK with you at the Men's Breakfast table and let's pray that God continues to do a mighty work in the hearts and lives of our listeners out there!

Welcome to the Men's Breakfast Podcast, where we're all about iron sharpening iron! In this week's episode we hear the ramblings of a mad-man from deep within his dark basement, discussing with mild coherency the fact that Halloween tends to inspire an awareness of our inherent sense of the NUMINOUS, particularly as described by CS Lewis in his lecture on "The Problem of Pain". Why are we intrigued by and drawn to ghost stories, the "uncanny", and those things that inspire more than the usual fear, but rather dread or awe? We might argue that it's because something within each of us is pulling us toward the spiritual (yes, the very Spirit of our Creator); it resonates inside us and is at the core of who we are, whether we acknowledge it or not. It's about to get weird. Enjoy!

Welcome to the Men's Breakfast Podcast, where we're all about iron sharpening iron!

Welcome to the Men's Breakfast Podcast, where we're all about iron sharpening iron. In today's breakfast table discussion we wrap up our conversation with Joe Cooper on the myriad struggles and successes of trying to raise children who follow God's Word and find success amidst the wildly-complex and ever-changing spiritual and social landscape of today. Joe brings us to a place of encouragement and reminds us that being "resilient" just might not mean the same thing today that it did a generation ago-- but take heart, because God is still in control! Hope this episode is a blessing!

Welcome to the Men's Breakfast Podcast, where we're all about iron sharpening iron! In today's episode Michael Lewallen and I begin unpacking the illuminating and challenging premise as presented by Paul David Tripp in his book "Sex in a Broken World". In an upside-down world where sex has become distorted well beyond what God intends for us, the author makes the case that we need to remove ourselves from the throne of our own lives and once again frame everything we say and do in light of His glory and His Kingdom... it's no easy task! This discussion also serves as an invitation to join Michael and I for an in-depth 11-week Warrior Men's book study that kicks off on 9/11/2024 as part of the Riverbank Church Family Night programming.

Welcome to the Men's Breakfast Podcast, where we're all about iron sharpening iron! In this important episode we speak with youth leader Jake Tsakiris from Riverbank Church on the 'how' and 'why' young people are finding faith in Jesus despite their keen awareness of the hypocrisy and lies all-to-often associated with so-called "organized religion". Jake provides unique insight into what those young people need us to hear, and provides some ways to help us build trust and better communication with our rising generation of believers. If you have influence on a teenage believer in your life, you won't want to miss this powerful breakfast table conversation. Feel free to leave your comments!
