The Blindspots Podcast

“To contribute cheerfully and regularly…” Why does our covenant call for giving, and how has our church clarified that commitment through a recent amendment? In this episode, we explain why grace-driven giving matters, how it’s shaped by the gospel, and why members should view generosity as worship, not obligation. This episode also addresses a practical blindspot: treating giving legalistically or ignoring it altogether.

“To sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline, and doctrines…” Church life doesn’t run on autopilot. In this episode, we explore the weighty privilege of helping preserve the spiritual health of the body. Members aren’t passive observers, we are called to uphold worship, sound doctrine, biblical discipline, and the ordinances of Christ. We expose the blindspot of outsourcing theology to the pastors and recover the shared stewardship of truth.

“We engage… to walk together in Christian love.” In this episode we unpack what it means to walk in covenant love. Not as a vague sentiment, but a Spirit-empowered responsibility. We look at how the New Testament describes love in action, and why this kind of commitment exposes our blindspot: treating love as optional or passive. Christian love doesn’t just feel: it endures, corrects, forgives, and labors together for the glory of the Lord and the benefit of the saints

What does it mean to enter into covenant with a local church? In this opening episode, Pastors Rolo and Corey walk through the first line of our Church Covenant and show why church membership is far more than attendance. It’s a Spirit-led, joyful, and solemn commitment rooted in Scripture and in the shared life of God’s people. We explore biblical covenants, New Testament examples, and the historical wisdom of the 1689 Confession to answer one question: Is it right to make a promise like this?

This series is for the members of First Baptist Church of the Lakes, and for anyone wondering what it really means to belong to a local church. In What We Said Amen To, Pastors Rolo and Corey walk phrase-by-phrase through the church’s membership covenant, helping listeners rediscover the promises they made before God and one another.

These commitments flow from Scripture, reflect our confession of faith, and expose the spiritual blindspots that keep us from walking faithfully with Christ.

Each episode includes theological insight, biblical reflection, honest application, and a call to return to covenantal faithfulness. Not by guilt, but by grace.

In this episode of Blindspots, we take a serious look at the role of corporate prayer in the life of the church. God has ordained that His people not only pray individually but come together to lift up their voices in unison before His throne. There is power when the church prays together—a power that aligns us with the will of God and binds us together in His purposes.

As shepherds of the flock, pastors must lead the charge in fostering a culture of corporate prayer. We’ll open the Scriptures to see how God works through the unified prayers of His people and discuss the pastor’s role in igniting a passion for prayer among the congregation. Corporate prayer isn’t just an activity; it’s the lifeblood of the church’s relationship with God, and through it, the church is strengthened and emboldened to carry out the Great Commission.

If we’re going to see revival in our churches and communities, it will be because we’ve come together as one body, on our knees before God, pleading for His will to be done. Join us as we dive into this crucial topic and offer practical steps for cultivating corporate prayer in your church.

In this episode of Blindspots, we explore the importance of discipleship groups within the church and the vital role pastors play in guiding these groups. We discuss how discipleship groups foster community, provide a sense of belonging, and offer members the opportunity to walk together in faith. As pastors, our responsibility goes beyond preaching to personally investing in the lives of our congregation through these groups.

We dive into how discipleship groups help fulfill the Great Commission by equipping believers to make disciples in their local communities. Practical advice is given on how pastors can lead by example, provide training and resources for group leaders, and support their groups through prayer.
