Sexual sin is rampant in our world today. This sin also finds its way into the church. There have been a lot of unfortunate news reports with various Christian leaders (our heroes of the faith) falling into sexual sin over the last several decades. This is not a new problem and is something that the enemy uses to destroy leaders and and scatter the church. The most recent offender being Steven Lawson. Join hosts Pastor John Pfannerstill and Pastor Drew Hacker as they discuss this important issue with Pastor Derek Best and Pastor Marsel Lela. They go into details that often are the root behind how this happens and how Christians can seek to fight this type of sin.

What about displaying yard signs to support a candidate? Should the church participate in political endorsements and put yard signs in its yard? Join Pastors John Pfannerstill, Drew Hacker, Matt Jantz, and Luke Dufek as they explore these questions and more. They aim to guide Christians on how to treasure Christ through political seasons.

Join Pastors John and Drew on this inaugural episode of the TreasureCast as they talk about why we decided to start up a podcast. They discuss that question and more in this introduction episode to the TreasureCast.

*** 10 episodes into the show, they realized that the timeframe expectations were unrealistic, and have since decided that episodes will be over 30 minutes in length, likely closer to an hour+.
