The second part of our conversation with Amy Moore. The poem she wrote, that she reads at the end, is very powerful. This entire conversation was powerful and a testimony to God's grace.

A new series where I take the Jack Hyles' book Teaching On Preaching and dissect it one chapter at a time--a critical reading, as it were.

Part 1 of a conversation with Amy Moore. She talks about growing up in fear and isolation and what it takes to overcome.

Something that every church should strive for, something we knew nothing of at the Longview Baptist Temple. What are pastors actually called to be and what is Christian leadership supposed to look like?

Pete and I finish out Pete's list of ten questions to ask to see whether or not the religious organization or community you belong to is a cult.

Is God's love for us conditioned on obedience? Must it be earned? Is it possible for God to stop loving us if we mess up? And why isn't the gospel preached from the pulpit?

Pete recounts a few things about growing up at LBT, then focuses on his journey since, discovering grace, and then begins asking the hard questions.

What happens when suddenly every friend you've ever had will have nothing to do with you? Travis Zappa describes his life growing up at LBT, the control the church tried to maintain over his family's life, and what it was like the day they left.

In which I explain how they twisted and abused Hebrews 13 and then explain what it actually says.

A bit of a retrospective and a look ahead. What have we learned so far? What do we hope to see going forward?
