May 08, 2023 Family Worship
God makes it clear in Deuteronomy 6, Ephesians 6, and other Scriptures that parents are responsible to raise their children to trust in Christ and walk in obedience to God’s commands. But for many parents, the topic of family worship brings up feelings of discouragement, failure, or striving. In this episode, Bob and David talk about ways of avoiding the two extremes of pressure and apathy, and offer practical ideas for leading your kids to love God and his Word.

January 23, 2023 How Should We Think About Technology in Our Sunday Gatherings?
In a world that breathlessly awaits hearing how the latest technology is going to make our lives better, eaiser, and more fruitful, how should the church respond? In what ways do musical, audio, and visual technologies change us as we use them? Does God’s Word have anything to say to us about technologies that didn’t exist when it was written? Bob, David, and Devon explore these and other questions as they seek to help churches think about and use technology in a way that is both grateful and discerning.
Resources and Scriptures referenced in this episode:
God, Technology, and the Christian Life by Tony Reinke
Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport
“Behold, I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals and produces a weapon for its purpose. I have also created the ravager to destroy; no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed.”” (Isaiah 54:16–17, ESV)

Questions to ask about the technology you use on Sunday mornings:
1. Is it the least imposing technology for the task?
2. How expensive is it? Can it be fixed if it breaks? Who can fix it?
3. How might this technology benefit and hinder us in pursuing God’s purposes for our gatherings?
4. Does this technology serve in building us together as a spiritual house? Does it conform us to who we are together in Christ or atomize us as individuals?
5. How does using this technology increase or decrease our awareness or our constant dependence on the Spirit of God?
6. How does this technology shape us as a congregation or an individual?
7. What values are fostered through the use of technology?

January 16, 2023 What is the Role of the Senior Pastor?
It’s not uncommon for a senior pastor to focus on preaching and give little to no attention to other aspects of the Sunday gathering. In this episode, David Zimmer and Bob Kauflin are joined by Jared Mellinger, senior pastor of Covenant Life Fellowship in Glen Mills, PA, to talk about the important role a senior pastor plays in leading the entire meeting, even if there’s not a musical bone in his body.

January 09, 2023 How Do I Lead Songs For A Youth Group?
Few things can be as disheartening as trying to lead a group of unresponsive teens in congregational worship. A faithful listener sent in an email asking what to do in that situation, and how to effectively encourage your musicians. Bob, David, and Devon tackle that question and seek to steer us away from thinking music and technology can do what only the gospel and the Holy Spirit can do.

December 05, 2022 Physical Expressiveness Part 3: How Can My Church Grow?
So you’re becoming more convinced that God has given us bodies to naturally respond to him in ways that point to his glory and our satisfaction in him. Even on Sunday mornings. But what if your church isn’t in the same place? How do you help you church grow in a natural, biblical expressiveness that exalts God and encourages those around you? That’s the topic of this episode of Sound Plus Doctrine, part 3 of 3.

“My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to you; my soul also, which you have redeemed.” (Psalm 71:23, ESV)
“Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory,” (1 Peter 1:8, ESV)
