In today’s episode, we’re diving into the topic of children’s ministry and the critical work of establishing kids in their faith. From evangelizing and edifying to equipping young believers for service, the goal is not just to entertain children but to disciple them—to anchor them in God’s Word and prepare them to be faithful members of the body of Christ. With cultural distractions and spiritual opposition on the rise, the urgency to reach children early has never been greater.

To help us unpack this topic, we’re joined by Pastor Craig Warner of First Baptist Church of New Philadelphia. In addition to serving faithfully at his local church, Craig will be one of the instructors for the Children’s Ministry course at LFBI this fall. He brings with him a long resume of ministry, a passion for discipleship, and love for kids.

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Seth Keenum to discuss disappointment in our walk with the Lord and how to respond to it in a way that is glorifying and obedient to God. 

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.
