This Poor Pastor's Podcast

In this episode, we are going to continue our response to a video entitled 10 Reasons People are Leaving for House Churches. I have linked to the original video in case you would like to see the entire thing for yourself.

Over the next few episodes, I will be going through a video sent to me by a friend called "Ten Reasons People Leave a Legacy Church for a House Church." I hope you will enjoy my thoughts, and learn some things along the way! If you want to watch the entire video, you can do so at the link below.

In this final discussion in our chat about church, I just want to take a few minutes and extend a heartfelt plea not to give up on the church. She ain't perfect, but she's worth sticking with.

In this episode, I want to continue the discussion about pastors. Specifically, what kind of pastor you are, and how you can know. I identify 3 different kinds of pastors that I believe God uses and encourage you to lean into your gifting.

In this episode, I'm gonna just have an honest discussion with you about the pastor and his position, and the pitfalls that can creep up on him. I'm probably gonna make some people mad, a few glad, and hopefully give you a few laughs along the way.

Have you ever heard that the church is supposed to be a hospital for sinners? Have you ever actually asked anybody what that means? In this episode, I ask that question, and give you my best stab at an answer!

In today's conversation, I want to share some of the bad arguments I have heard for not attending church. Specifically, the church isn't a building, and the NT church didn't meet in a building. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I love the church. I am filled with hope and optimism about the church and her future, and I also recognize that we have many challenges to overcome. I'd like to talk to you about it this week.

There is a drastic lack of discussion of God as our Heavenly Father, and what that means. Many times, when talking about the Father, we lapse into language relating to Jesus the Son. As we finish our discussion on the presence of God, I want to talk to you a bit about your Heavenly Father.
