Join pastors Kyle Swanson, Darrell Harrison, Kevin Hay, Jason Stinson, and Todd Burgett as they lead us in remembering the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus and discuss the question of why Good Friday is Good.

"I always think of Good Friday as a time when we're thinking about the sorrowful aspect of thinking about our sins, putting Christ on the cross, and my responsibility in that. But then I also think about the joy of what he accomplished on my behalf. And the opportunity to worship the Lord and celebrate with my brothers and sisters in Christ who also have benefited from Christ's sacrifice." Pastor Kevin Hay

EP 134 | How Should Pastors Think About Pastoring? | Redeeming Truth

What's the danger lurking in every pastor's heart? 🤔 In this video, Pastors Jon Benzinger, Dale Thackrah, and Todd Burgett explore Jesus' startling call to a radically different model of greatness in Mark 10.

"Greatness by our culture is defined by self-promotion...and here Jesus says, 'No actually...get your cues from Me.'" 😲

But how can pastors steer clear of abusing authority and pursue the servant heart Jesus demonstrates? Diving into Ezekiel 34, these pastors expose failures common among shepherds God assigns to care for His flock.

Jesus shows the way: "Whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant." Listen as these pastors wrestle with putting Jesus' challenging words into practice as they shepherd God's people.

EP 133 | Muhammad: Fact or Fiction? with Al Fadi | Redeeming Truth

In this fascinating and controversial episode of Redeeming Truth, host Jon Benzinger joins former Muslim Al Fadi to unpack the complex figure of Muhammad in Islam. They dive deep into Islamic sources about Muhammad's life, including obscure Hadith and Sira, analyzing his marriage to Aisha, his commands to kill opponents, and more.

Al Fadi candidly discusses aspects of Muhammad that Muslims don't like to talk about. They also debate whether Muhammad truly existed, examining arguments from critical scholars like Dr. Jay Smith and Robert Spencer. According to Al Fadi, Muhammad likely did exist but his story was greatly amplified over time for political reasons.

This is an eye-opening discussion about the deep connections between early Islamic history centered around Muhammad and trends we see today like jihadism and anti-semitism. Don't miss this brave conversation!

EP 132 | Is Timothy Keller's Theology Safe? w/ Dr. Peter Naylor | Redeeming Truth

Peter Naylor takes on famous pastor/author Tim Keller's view that Scripture mandates churches pursue BOTH gospel ministry AND social change.

While individual Christians should love neighbors and "do justice", Naylor finds no New Testament pattern of churches mobilizing to remedy political issues.

This podcast warns that the trendy "social justice gospel" risks watering down the faith, draining resources from the Great Commission.
