Redefined

Last time on the Redefined Podcast, we asked a difficult but important question: What happens to those who have never heard the gospel?

That conversation leads us to another question that many believers have wrestled with: What happens to children who are too young to understand the gospel or fully comprehend their need for a Savior?

In this episode, we dive into the topic of the age of accountability. Is there an age when a person becomes accountable for their sin? What does the Bible teach about children, salvation, and the grace of God? How do we understand the responsibility of faith when someone is not yet able to comprehend the message of the gospel?

Join us as we open God's Word, explore these difficult questions, and seek to understand what Scripture teaches about God's justice, mercy, and grace.

Because sometimes, the questions that challenge our understanding are the very ones that lead us to a deeper understanding of who God is.

What happens to those who never hear the gospel?

It’s one of the most debated and difficult questions surrounding salvation. If someone never has the opportunity to hear about Jesus, are they still accountable for their sin? What about those who have never heard the name of Jesus?

In this episode of Redefined, we dive into these questions and examine what Scripture actually says about salvation, sin, God’s justice, general revelation, and the necessity of the gospel. Rather than building our answer on what seems fair to us, we want to start with what God has revealed through His Word.

We’ll also come back to the responsibility believers have to share the gospel. If people need to hear the good news of Jesus, what does that mean for the way we live, evangelize, and view the Great Commission?

This is a difficult question, but it’s one worth wrestling with through the lens of Scripture. Join us as we seek to bring clarity to a question that many people have asked but may not have considered from a biblical perspective.

This month on Redefined, we’re asking a question that many people have wrestled with: What happens to those who never hear the gospel?

Coming off our last episode about how we can effectively evangelize, this question naturally follows. If we believe every person needs to hear the gospel, what about the people who never have the opportunity to hear it?

In this intro episode, we’re opening the conversation and laying the groundwork for what we’ll discuss in greater detail later this month. What does the Bible say about those who have never heard? What does God’s Word reveal about salvation, judgment, and our responsibility to share the gospel?

Do your own research, study what Scripture says, and send us your thoughts, questions, and feedback using our podcast feedback form. We’ll return on October 20th to dive deeper into this important question.

In this episode of Redefined, we take a deeper look at the question: How can I effectively evangelize?

We begin by defining evangelism from a biblical perspective and asking an important question: Is evangelism the responsibility of every believer? We explore what Scripture says about our calling to share the Gospel and make disciples, and what it can look like to live a life centered around that mission.

We also address some of the most common excuses that keep us from evangelizing—fear, busyness, feeling unqualified, or simply not knowing what to say. Finally, we discuss what it means to evangelize effectively, not by relying on our own ability, but by faithfully proclaiming the Gospel and trusting God with the results.

Join us as we look at what it means to live faithfully on mission and share the good news of Jesus with the people God has placed around us.

In this month’s intro episode of Redefined, we introduce our next question: How can I effectively evangelize?

As believers, we know we are called to share the Gospel, but what does that actually look like in our everyday lives? Is evangelism simply having a conversation with someone about Jesus, or should it be something much bigger—a way of life?

This month, we’ll explore our personal responsibility to evangelize, what a life of evangelism looks like, and how evangelism connects with the call to make disciples. We want to think practically about how we can faithfully share the Gospel with the people God has already placed around us.

As always, we want you to be part of the conversation. Share your questions, experiences, testimonies, and thoughts through our feedback form as we prepare for the full episode.

In this episode of Redefined, we take a deeper look at the question: Can a woman serve in the role of pastor?

We address some of the most common modern-day objections and questions surrounding this topic while seeking to answer them through the authority of Scripture. Rather than allowing culture, personal preference, or popular opinion to define the conversation, we go back to God's Word to understand His design for men, women, leadership, and the local church.

This conversation is about understanding the roles God has established and trusting His wisdom. We walk through the biblical evidence and wrestle with the difficult questions that have led to so much debate within the church.

Ultimately, every believer is in need of the grace of God, and every believer is commanded to share what that grace has done in their lives. The call to make disciples and proclaim the Gospel is not limited to pastors. However, in this conversation, we are specifically focusing on the biblical role and qualifications of a pastor/elder within the local church and what Scripture teaches about who is called to serve in that role.

Our goal is simple: to let Scripture speak for itself. Join us as we seek to approach this important topic with humility, grace, and a commitment to biblical truth.

In this month's intro episode of Redefined, we introduce a question that has been discussed and debated for years: Can a woman serve in the role of pastor?

With the recent vote at the Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting, this topic has once again become the center of many conversations. But rather than allowing culture, opinions, or denominational debates to shape our thinking, our goal is simple: What does God's Word say?

In this episode, we introduce the conversation and explain why it's important to approach this topic with humility, grace, and a commitment to Scripture. We want to understand God's design for the church, leadership, and the unique roles He has given to both men and women—not through personal preference, but through the authority of His Word.

While parents carry the primary responsibility of discipling their children, they were never meant to do it alone.

In Part 2 of this conversation, we shift our focus to the role of biblical community in raising the next generation. God designed His people to live in fellowship, encouraging, equipping, and helping one another remain faithful. Parenting is strengthened when families are surrounded by a church that is united around the truth of God's Word.

We discuss what it looks like for the local church to come alongside parents, the importance of generational faithfulness, and why every believer—not just moms and dads—has a role to play in investing in the next generation.

Join us as we explore how God uses a gospel-centered community to help families faithfully raise children who know, love, and follow Christ.

In Part 1 of this two-part epsiode, we begin by challenging the way our culture defines success. Society often measures parenting by achievements, behavior, academics, athletics, or opportunities—but is that how God measures it?

Together, we turn to Scripture, focusing on passages like Deuteronomy 6, to discover God's design for parenting. We discuss the ultimate responsibility of parents, the importance of modeling a genuine relationship with Christ, and why the goal of parenting is far greater than simply raising well-behaved children. Our calling is to make disciples within our own homes and faithfully point the next generation to Jesus.

Join us as we redefine what it means to be a successful parent—not by the world's standards, but by God's.

In this month's intro episode of Redefined, we introduce our next question: What does it take to be a successful parent?

The world presents one picture of successful parenting, but Scripture presents something completely different. In a culture that often measures success by achievements, sports, academics, or opportunities, what does God say truly matters?

In this conversation, we begin exploring passages such as Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and discuss God's design for generational faithfulness. While the responsibility of discipling children ultimately belongs to parents, we also recognize the vital role that the church and biblical community play in helping families faithfully follow Christ.
