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.

When Sam and Thom research local churches, they inevitably calculate average worship attendance. But how can they tell if it’s accurate or not? They share five ways to be certain.
Do not estimate.
Do not double count.
Do not include online attendance.
Have no fewer than two counters.
Include everyone on campus, not just those in the worship center.

April 10, 2025Young Pastors Are Rare (Here Is What Happened)
The typical age of a pastor is around 60 years old. Young pastors are becoming increasingly rare. What happened? Josh and Sam discuss some demographic realities with the aging pastorate.
Part of the issue is the general aging of the United States, but it is not the whole story. The median age of someone in the U.S. is 39, while the typical pastor is around 60.
Education expectations are high (and it’s more expensive) while salaries have not kept pace with inflation.
The rise of the “Nones” has an impact, especially among younger generations.
Many seminaries stopped training for the pastorate and focused more on those who wanted to be professors and teachers.
Parachurch ministries are often more attractive for those who want to be in ministry but not go through the drama of serving a church.
Pastors’ kids often experience the underbelly of the church first-hand and do not want to follow their parents’ ministry careers.

April 07, 2025How Wedding Ceremonies Are Different Than in the 1990s (A Pastor’s Perspective)
Wedding ceremonies today are very different from those of the 1990s. Thom and Sam discuss what’s changed. What’s surprising and what’s not?
Some ceremonies are shorter and smaller, while others are more expensive and elaborate.
Ceremonies today are less traditional and tend to be more personalized.
Everyone is living together. Pre-marital counseling is more important than ever.
There are far more people getting married who are older (delaying marriage, divorces, and blended families).
Fewer pastors come to the rehearsals and dinners.
Fewer weddings take place in the church sanctuary.
The photos and videos are far more epic (drones!).

April 03, 2025Should Churches Share Their Campuses with Other Non-Profits?
Many church buildings sit empty for a good portion of the week. What are the pros and cons of sharing the campus with other non-profits? Josh and Sam discuss some items to consider before opening your doors to other groups, churches, and ministries.
Part of being a good neighbor is hospitality.
Sharing the campus can potentially increase community impact and the church’s reputation.
Doctrinal alignment is an important part of the decision.
Consider the tax implications of charging rent.
Formal MoUs or lease agreements are a must.
Be aware of legal and insurance issues.
