This several-episodes-long deep-dive into the topics from the Area Wide Meeting have caused us all to re-examine our habits about what we are doing to help build relationships in the body of Christ. So, this week, Jared Wells guides us through a discussion of hospitality using 1 Peter 4:7-11 as a framework. This passage is helpful in defining hospitality, understanding why it's vital to the Christian community, and helping us get better at using it.

Also, we have a returning guest, Lee Adair. Lee is super-passionate about hospitality and he lends some great perspective too. Enjoy!

For this month, the Brother Cousins will revisit the speakers and topics from the 2022 Churches of Christ Area Wide Meeting. This year the theme was "Relationships: By This All Shall Know." The theme is taken from John 13:34-35 NKJV: "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

This episode we have Shawn Zybach talking about "Enduring Persecution". He also gives us some information about some of his work, see the links below!

Today our guest is brother Chase Palmer, whose topic was "The Mission of The Church." Chase spend 35 solid minutes gut-punching the audience for everything we ever posted on Facebook (just kidding, but kinda not). But seriously, he made us stop and consider our communication (and specifically online communication) and what we use our voice to promote. We think you will enjoy a deeper and more nuanced take from Chase.

Also, do us a favor and check out his work at the Sunny Glen Children's Home (sunnyglen.org) and how you can support it. Enjoy!

Today our guest is brother Rusty Springer, whose topic was "The Assembly: Let All Be Done for Edification." You may remember Rusty from his appearance in Episode 037: Engaging Children in Ministry. Rusty was instrumental in the Theme and Topic selection for the AMW, and we wanted to know more about The Tulsa Church of Christ's thoughts and rationale for the theme. Rusty dug deeper into the need for love and fellowship in the body of Christ, and it was a great discussion.

This week our guests are evangelist Lee Adair and his amazing wife, Ellen, whose topic was "Fellowship." Lee and Ellen graciously spent some time with us to share what they've learned about the importance of building tightly-knit Christian relationships within the Body of Christ. We think you will enjoy their light-hearted banter, as open, humble desire to learn from others.

Happy one-year anniversary! The Brother Cousins Podcast is officially one year old. Our heartfelt THANKS to everyone who listens to, subscribes to, likes, and shares this content. We sincerely hope that God has used our discussion of Scripture to bring people closer to Him and deeper into the love of His Son, Jesus Christ. Glory be to Him.

Today our guest is brother Craig Hayes, whose topic was "The Assembly: Let All Be Done for Edification." We asked Craig to spend some time with us discussing the stuff he didn't have time to say at the gathering. We think you will enjoy Craig's fresh lively take on the purpose and value of the church assembly. 

The gathering was on 7/30, and the full video message is not available yet; however, here's a teaser video you can check out.
