The Postscript Show

On today’s show, we’re looking at one of the most common and yet misunderstood roles in the local church: the office of the deacon. While some see it as a stepping stone to greater leadership, others have turned it into a position of power. But when we return to the early church in Acts 6, what we find is a calling rooted in servanthood, urgency, and need. The Bible paints a clear and compelling picture: deacons were appointed to serve—literally to wait tables—not to lead spiritual governance, but to protect it. Their ministry enabled pastors and elders to focus on prayer and the Word by meeting practical, often overlooked needs in the body. To help us unpack this biblical office and its implications for the church today, we’re joined by Pastor Mitch Dobson, Biblical Studies instructor at LFBI welcome to the Postscript.

What do you do when forgiveness still feels raw?

In this episode of Sound Mind, Jonathan Kindler dives into the messy, sacred reality of forgiveness. Through biblical stories, personal reflection, and sound-rich storytelling, he explores what it means to release someone without minimizing what they did—and without pretending you’re okay.

This isn’t about forced peace or performative grace. It’s about telling the truth, naming the wound, and entrusting justice to the only One who sees the whole story. From Joseph’s betrayal to Jesus’ prayer on the cross, from Paul’s fracture with John Mark to your own quiet ache—this episode walks with you through the cost, the complexity, and the process of forgiving when it still hurts.

If you’ve prayed the prayer, said the words, and still feel the sting—this one’s for you.
You’re not weak. You’re healing.
And healing takes time.

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Seth Keenum to discuss how God's divine provision aids and helps us glorify Him as we walk in the Spirit. 

On today’s show, we’re looking at the spiritual fight that every believer—and especially every leader—must face. Ministry is a battlefield, and Scripture reminds us that not all who begin well finish well. From Eleazar in David’s army to King Asa on the throne of Judah, the Bible gives us both inspiring and cautionary tales of men in combat—some who held fast to the sword and others who laid it down too soon.

What makes a good soldier in the fight of faith? What does it mean to hold fast to the Word of God even when you’re weary? And how do we make sure we finish our course, not just start it?

To help us answer these questions, we’re joined by Pastor Tony Godfrey of Harvest Baptist Church in Iola, Kansas—Tony is a discipler, Bible teacher, and no stranger to the battle of ministry. Tony, welcome to the Postscript.

Artificial intelligence is here, and it’s here to stay. Technologists expect the integration of artificial intelligence in our daily lives will increase exponentially year over year. This is the digital existence that we face, and it comes with a multitude of ethical dilemmas.

Why is this important for the church to consider? In what ways does this affect our faith? Does AI actually have implications on the spiritual growth or work of the church?

Join us this week as Brandon Briscoe, Provost of the Living Faith Bible Institute presents biblical responses to these tough questions.

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Seth Keenum to discuss the blessing of God's promises in the midst of the battle of our life of faith in Christ. 

On today's show, we are taking a close look at the life and leadership of one of the Apostle Paul's most trusted co-laborers, Titus. Often overshadowed by names like Timothy or Barnabas, Titus played a critical role in some of the most difficult and delicate ministry assignments in the early church. He is kind of “the fixer”. Known for helping troubled congregations get stable and begin implementing discipleship. 

Titus was a man trusted to bring order, integrity and clarity to the local church. So today we're going to ask, what can be learned from his testimony? How does Titus’s example of leadership and oversight provide us with principles for how we should lead in our churches and in our homes?

Whether you're leading in a troubled church, a church plant, a Bible study, or simply trying to be a faithful steward in your home, join us today as we examine the book that bears Titus’s name. Our guest on today's show is pastor Lee Ridings of Greater Hope Baptist Church in Dallas, Georgia.

The Lord’s Supper or Communion has been one of the most historically debated practices in all of Christianity. For Baptists, this ordinance is a solemn, symbolic remembrance of Christ’s death and a testimony of His promised return. But in contrast, the Roman Catholic Church teaches that the Eucharist is not merely symbolic—it is the literal body and blood of Christ through the miracle of transubstantiation. These two views are not simply liturgical preferences; they reflect deep theological convictions about grace, salvation, the nature of the Church, and the role of religious ritual.

In this episode, we’ll explore why traditional Baptists reject the Catholic doctrine of the Eucharist. Whether you’re a student of theology or just curious about the differences between Baptists and Catholic views, today’s discussion will help clarify what’s at stake in how the Church remembers the cross.

For this conversation we have invited Jim Alter, pastor of Grace Baptist Church of Sidney, Ohio. Jim is co-founder and editor of the Ancient Baptist Press. Jim is also the founder, curator and lecturer for a traveling exhibition called “Purified Seven Times” which is devoted to educating people about the history of the English Bible. Jim is also co-author of the book “Why Baptist? The Significance of Baptist Principles in an Ecumenical Age.”
