We finish our mini-series in Women In Ministry with a conversation around gender with Dr. Seth Scott from Columbia International University. We know that in our modern context we can't talk about women in ministry without addressing the national conversation around who is a woman. In this conversation we sit down and get Dr. Scott's perspectives on how the church and Christians should approach the conversation around Gender Dysphoria. Through this candid conversation we got to have an incredible time digging into what the Scriptures teach us and how we can give truth with love in every scenario!

To kick off our show Pastor John breaks down where we have been and where we are going in 2023. 

Then he and Pastor Malcolm get into a lively discussion around the question of, "Am I really LIVING, or just existing?" From this conversation we see how Christ truly makes us alive and how life with Him really is life in the FULLEST!

In our 9th and final episode of season 4 Pastor John sits down with Christian Markel to discuss the misconception that Christian's no longer engage or love the poor/homeless like Jesus did. This candid conversation centers around the current attitudes towards the homeless and how the church can do more to show them the love of Christ in a practical way. As we examine scripture and discuss how Christ Himself showed us the example of serving we also discuss the importance of para-church organizations and how we all make of the body of Christ on earth for service! Special thanks to Oliver Gospel Mission for partnering with Sandhills in this episode and in ministry to Columbia!

In our 8th episode of season 4 Pastor John sits down with Pastor Malcolm to discuss the misconception that all Christian's must be Republicans. This candid conversation centers around the political landscape of the US as well as some current events surrounding abortion. As we examine scripture and discuss how Christ Himself showed us the importance of separating earthly kingdoms from our heavenly kingdom (while also engaging with them!) we will debunk and realign this misconception!
