West Franklin Talks

COVID has cancelled a lot of things but one thing it can't cancel is our annual Christmas Concert! But it can change how we have to do the concert this year. In today's episode of West Franklin Talks, Matt and Dave are joined by Brad Cleveland to share all the details about the concert. What is it? When is it? What do you need to do to attend? What to expect? And you'll hear which of us has finished our Christmas shopping and who hasn't even started. So grab some pen and paper to write down the details you need to know and get ready for this Thursday episode!

*Don't forget, next week our Thursday episode moves to Friday morning. Same greatish content just a day later!

On this Monday episode of West Franklin Talks, Matt and Dave unpack a little more from this past Sunday's sermon. They talk about what it means to give up your rights, why God is more interested in people than systems, and how we are able to endure when we know Jesus is coming back. They also clarify a point from the post-sabbatical episode and share about an upcoming change to our release schedule. If you haven't listened to the sermon yet, you can find it at www.westfranklinchurch.com/sermons

Today, Matt and Dave are joined by Ronnie Williams, one of our great church members. We get to know Ronnie and his family, her why they choose to be part of The Church at West Franklin and how Ronnie serves on our campus. Along with getting to one of our own, Ronnie shares about New Hope Academy and what they are doing a mile away from our doors. So buckle up or settle in as we get to this episode of West Franklin Talks!

Disclaimer: we had some hardware issues and today's recording sounds a little different than normal. Still great content, just a little different sound.

Today, on West Franklin Talks, Matt and Dave dig further into the sermon preached this past Sunday. They talk about Advent and how we can be certain about what Scripture tells us, the hope we have in Jesus, the tension of living in the "now" while anticipating the second coming of the King, and possibly talk about what food we enjoyed most on Thanksgiving day. Grab some pen and paper because there are some thoughts and resources you'll want to jot down. Thanks for making us part of your faith journey!

Matt and Dave are back for another Monday episode of West Franklin Talks to dig further into this past Sunday's sermon. They talk about 2 Thessalonians 3 and explore some thoughts Matt did not have enough time to fully explore. So let us join you as you prepare for Thanksgiving this coming week by providing some background noise that hopefully encourage and challenge you! 

We want to say thanks for listening to West Franklin Talks and also want you to know we won't be here this Thursday due to Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving!

Anyone else tired of all things Covid? If so, you're part of a large group who feels the same. Today, on West Franklin Talks, Matt and Dave talk about Covid fatigue, Brentwood Baptist's approach to offering ministry during all of this, why it's ok to feel the way you do, and some resources you can check out. So take a load off, give yourself permission to breathe, and (hopefully) enjoy today's episode.

What do you invest yourself in? It's an important question for us since so many things ask for our time, our resources, our attention.

As always, let us know if you have comments or questions on this topic. Now, let's get to today's podcast!
