The After Thoughts Show with Zane Garza & Chris Chadwick

The Afterthought Show: Men's Retreat Edition - Not Just Reading, But Meditating on God's Law>>

Did you ever wonder what your pastor didn't say on Sunday? This is The Afterthought Show, a podcast from Canyon Ridge Baptist Church in San Diego, California, featuring hosts Zane Garza and Pastor Chris Chadwick. Inspired to help Christians walk with Jesus throughout the week, they dive into biblical truths and practical Christian living that didn't make it into Sunday morning's expositional preaching message. This episode focuses on the recent Men's Retreat, celebrating the church's 23rd birthday and taking a deep dive into the Ten Commandments, the moral character of God, and the importance of meditating on His Law.

In this episode of The Afterthought Show, Zane and Pastor Chris Chadwick reconnect after a busy summer of travel. They dive deep into Pastor Chris's recent sermon on Romans 15, exploring the profound implications of Paul's letter for the modern church.The central theme is unity. Discover how the Old Testament saints serve as an example of faithfulness, what it practically means to "glorify God" in your daily life, and why being an active encourager is a biblical command, not just a nice suggestion.The conversation culminates in a powerful discussion on church membership. Pastor Chris unpacks how the command to "receive one another" is a direct call to formal commitment within a local church body, arguing that to neglect membership is to rob God of the glory He deserves. This is a crucial conversation for any believer seeking to honor Christ through their commitment to His church.
