We all know chronically upset Church People... so what do you do about them? No matter your role in your congregation, this episode will provide some insight on what to do when complaining and bickering crops up at your church.

Some churches get a "country club mentality". Highly vocal people (usually just a few of them) take charge and make sure that nothing changes, and that outsiders are forced to conform or leave. Why does that happen? What does the Bible say about that kind of behavior? Is there anything we can do about it?

This is the first half of a conversation about Spiritual Maturity, difficult people in the Church, and what any church member can do to stop a church mutiny.

This episode is a shortened version of a project Jason did for his MDiv. Jason fields questions about the context and meaning of one of the most beautiful passages in the Bible: Isaiah Chapter 11

Baptism is a really big deal in some churches, and is barely talked about in others. At Pocket Theology, we believe that Baptism is a vitally important part of our Christian faith, and that your questions about Baptism deserve to be answered.

In this episode, Martin will talk us through a basic definition of Baptism, give us some reasons why it matters, and talk about when we should and shouldn't be rebaptized (and more!)

The doctrine of the Trinity feels like something heady that pastors and theologians argue about, but doesn't really matter for the rest of us. Jason just completed a projects arguing that our belief in the Trinity should drastically affect every aspect of Church life, and even transform how we define the word "church", and how willing we are to leave a congregation we've committed to.

If the Trinity has ever seemed weird or unimportant to you, this episode is meant for you.

In this episode Martin interviews Jason about the doctrine of the Trinity. What is the Trinity? Why isn't the word in the Bible? Why did the Church not agree that the Trinity was a thing for hundreds of years? They'll answer all these questions and more in this episode of Pocket Theology.

Easter is a period of renewed excitement and commitment for many believers in Jesus... but often that excitement dies out within a week or two. In this episode, Jason and Martin talk about some thoughts and practices that can help Christians keep that Easter excitement going all year long.

God has a will, he interacts with us, and desires to have relationships with humans. In other words; God is a person.

God isn't some disembodied force floating through the cosmos, he's a person. That truth has a lot of ramifications that Martin and Jason will explore in this episode.
