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. 

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."

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.

Hello everyone. We hope you enjoyed last week's episode and kiddo interview, because we have more awesomeness teed up for you this week. In this episode:

A simple (but no less rambling) three point outline of goodness:

Key Verse: Hebrews 5:7-9 NKJV  "...who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear,  8  though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.  9  And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him..."
