Every day, Christians face decisions in their personal lives that require spiritual contemplation and seeking of the Lord's will. Some of these can be guided by scripture but there are many issues that aren't and may be simple preference. Too many churches have been torn apart by superficial disagreements that have no scriptural backing. Bro. Jono and Joe discuss how a Christian must discern the difference and strive for unity in the body regardless of conflicting opinions.

The third and final episode dedicated to Godly Men in the church. This series is the heartbeat of any local church and could have the biggest impact on church members as a whole. We implore you to listen and apply these attributes so that your church may flourish.

A continuation of a series discussing the role of Godly men in the church and how they can support their pastor.

This episode begins a 3 part series discussing the biblical characteristics of a Godly man in the church. These are not just directed towards pastors, but also to the men who must step up and help build the foundations for a unified church.  

A quick update on Bro. Jono's upcoming schedule.

Coming off of preaching his funeral, Bro. Jono and Joe look back on the life and ministry of Bro. Jeff Putman and what it means to run the race well. 

Thanks for checking in!

While Bro. Joe is out with Covid precautions, Bro. Ryan Tilghman fills the role of a young pastor just beginning his ministry. For any newly hired 25-30 year old pastor, leading a much older congregation can be an intimidating task. Bro. Jono shares his experiences and "first-steps" guidance for establishing biblical authority and the importance of being a patient shepherd. 

In the midst of preaching revival at SMBC, Bro. Richard Sego joins Bro. Jono to discuss the simple disciplines that a Christian may need to re-commit to.

The term "revival" is often attributed to an event or special service dedicated to stirring up emotions. More accurately, revival is something that takes place in the heart of a believer on a daily basis. It is commanded and made possible in scripture to live a spirit filled life which will naturally lead to revival. Bro. Jono and Joe discuss what it means to live a spirit filled life and how a christian must exercise it daily.
