May 22, 2025Are Church Members Cussing More Today Than in the Past?
The co-hosts have noticed something—it seems church members are cussing more these days. But are their anecdotal experiences supported by data? Josh and Sam talk about the expletive problem in churches today.
All evidence suggests cuss words are far more common today than in the past.
Studies on transcripts and books point to an 80% increase in the use of expletives in culture.
Is it a problem in the church? Should pastors care? Aren’t there bigger issues?
How should you handle someone who cusses in front of you?
At what point should you correct someone?

May 19, 2025Five Reasons Healthy Churches Seek Outside Help
Churches can struggle with seeking outside help, even when it’s obvious they need it. Thom and Sam discuss why healthy churches often have outsiders speak into the operations of the church.
Healthy churches understand that God’s Kingdom is larger than their particular church. They grasp that they can and will gain valuable insights that they would not have otherwise.
Healthy churches understand that leadership development is key to their ongoing health. Thus, they are more likely to send church members to external events for that development.
Healthy churches desire to benefit from skilled experts in a very specific area that might not otherwise be available in their own churches.
Healthy churches avoid “ruts.” Training, consultations, and conferences offer fresh ideas and approaches. They are no longer bound by “the way they’ve always done it.”
Healthy churches have members who are more open-minded to new ideas and approaches without theological and biblical compromise.

May 15, 2025Why Some Pastors Never Experience Church Growth
Very few churches are growing, which means most pastors will lead plateaued or declining congregations. Some pastors experience an entire ministry career in no-growth situations. Why does this happen? Josh and Sam discuss several reasons why some pastors never experience church growth.
Some pastors are called to difficult churches and are there simply to stop the bleeding.
Some pastors are not evangelistic and do not change the culture of their churches.
Some pastors are gifted with mediation and stay at churches for a short time to prevent splits.
Some pastors shepherd in communities where people are less receptive.
Some pastors are able to replace older, dying members with families. These churches get significantly younger but do not increase in number.

May 12, 2025What Is the Right Age to Retire as a Lead Pastor?
The average age of a pastor is 60 years old. The question of retirement is one many pastors are asking. Being a lead pastor comes with unique demands and extra attention. Is there an ideal age to retire? Thom and Sam discuss some guidelines for those who are closer to retirement than not.
The strength of your voice (and body) is a factor.
It’s unwise to hang on for several years for financial reasons. Go do something else.
A clear succession plan tends to give you a better final season at a church.
The belief your church “needs” you will often hurt the congregation more than you realize.
Can you keep up with technology and the new requirements of ministry?
The retirement age range for most is between 62 and 72 years old.
An interim or revitalization ministry is a solid option.

May 08, 2025Is Student Ministry Still a Stepping Stone?
A generation ago, student ministers would often make the leap to the lead pastor role after a few years. Does this kind of move still happen? If so, is it a good thing or not? Unfortunately, sometimes ministry positions outside of the lead pastor are seen as a lesser role in the life of the church. Josh and Sam break down the good and bad of leaping from student ministry to lead pastor.
Good: Student ministry can be a great place to develop leadership skills.
Bad: Treating student ministry as a stepping stone perpetuates the “less than” perception.
Good: Younger pastors need a place to mature and gain experience.
Bad: Overconfidence with success in student ministry can be a recipe for a hard fall in senior roles.
Good: God can call people through a progression of roles within the church.

May 05, 2025The Pastor’s Dilemma: Loving Preaching, Loathing Sermon Prep
Do you love to preach but at times loathe sermon prep? Do you find preaching incredibly fulfilling yet preparation frustrating or even overwhelming? If so, you’re not alone. Many pastors struggle with the inefficiency of sermon prep—feeling bogged down by research, unsure how to faithfully interpret Scripture, or intimidated by today’s hot-button topics like politics, gender, and race.
Dr. Bruce Clark (PhD. in Biblical Studies, University of Cambridge) from Interpret Consulting joins the show to discuss the common frustrations of sermon prep and explore practical ways to streamline the process while strengthening your preaching skills. Interpret Consulting aims to come alongside busy faithful pastors (in churches of all sizes and stages) and assist them in sermon preparation by helping them strengthen their exegetical skills and tackle today’s seemingly endless sensitive “hot button” issues.

May 01, 2025Approval Addiction, People Pleasing, and How Pastors Can Let Go
Most pastors want to be liked and respected by their congregations. This desire is part of the reason they are motivated to serve others. However, approval addiction can become a major barrier to leadership. When people pleasing becomes the priority, pastors often do more harm than good in their congregations. Marty Duren joins Josh and Sam to discuss this important topic.
The culture war makes us feel like we have to take a side on every issue.
People pleasing feels holy, but it isn’t.
Recognize your role is to shepherd, not fix everyone’s problems.
Balance the shepherd’s heart with the prophetic voice.
Release pressure with strategic silence and fewer words.
Stop mixing serving others with performing for others.
Receive criticism without internalizing it.
Anchor your identity in Christ, not in the approval of others.

April 28, 2025The Burge Report: Does Homeschooling Change the Political and Religious Views of Children?
We’ve all heard the stereotypes of homeschooled children. But what does the data say? Ryan Burge joins Sam on the show to discuss the facts. The co-hosts also discuss implications for the church.
Homeschooled children are twice as likely to attend church weekly in college as those who attended public school.
Homeschooled children are twice as likely to be Protestant Christians compared to children in other public, private, charter, and magnet schools.
Surprisingly, the average homeschooled child grows up to be independent regarding political partisanship, and they are middle of the road on political ideology. There is no evidence that they are far right.
About 54% of the homeschooled students say they are conservative (and 20% say they are very conservative). Some put themselves on the left side of the continuum, though. 31% of Christian homeschoolers said they were liberal.
As homeschooled children become adults, they are more likely to be committed to a church, slightly more conservative, but not particularly partisan in their politics.
