Charges against Daniel Penny were reversed in a not guilty verdict in the "NY subway chokehold case". Daniel Penny (former Marine) stepped up to defend and protect citizens on a train as Neely threatened to kill them. Masculinity is the one that continues to be under attack as stepping up and manning up is a risk. Pastor Sean shares Biblical examples of true manhood with the ultimate example being Jesus.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The conversation starts with follow-up on some kickback on a recent tweet by John Piper and the election results, and leads to a deeper take on being in the world but not of the world. Pastor Sean of course backs it up with scripture and prayer of hope.

Hallelujah! The political commercials have ended, the tension in the office has eased, and it seems that we will experience a peaceful transfer of power. But now what? Pastor Sean shares the perspective that it’s never truly over. We fight not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places. Time to fight fight fight...on our knees.

For the record this program was recorded on Election Day 2024, and regardless of who ever was going to win, Pastor Sean has the same message for either candidate. And if you're called to teach or preach, Pastor Sean shares his rhythm in preparing and presenting the Gospel every week. Reminder to pray for your pastor.

After a quick PSA to early vote by Saturday, and then set your clocks back for the end of Day Light Savings, Pastor Sean is joined by Bonnie Floyd of Bonnie Floyd Ministries and shares her testimony of the tragic death of her parents while in the Caribbean. And how life and love came from what the enemy used to steal, kill, and destroy.

Pastor Sean had the honor of opening the annual Pregnancy Care Center Gala in prayer. The guest speaker was Scoot Klusendorf, the best selling author of The Case For Life. Hear the big take-aways from Sean and also how the Church sees Halloween as an opportunity to love your neighbor.

Pastor Sean says if you're a believer then...yes...you are called to serve...but if you feel called into church ministry or the mission field, get ready to take notes. Sean shares from his playbook, and if you want to ask a follow up question, email him at [email protected]!

Church Membership - it "has its privileges". Pastor Sean reminds us that as Christ is the head, the members make up of the rest of the body. Your commitment to the body is a testimony to your faith, and begins with your confession of faith and baptism. Are you in?
