What is leadership in the church meant to look like? The answer might surprise you.

C.S. Lewis said, “If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things… not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs.” Lewis was right, not because he was brilliant (though he certainly was), but because he was biblical. The Bible itself calls us to prepare for the end of the world by faithfully doing the simple but powerful tasks that God has entrusted to us. Listen as Pastor Josh explains what they are.

Have you ever made a bad trade? The Bible tells us that Esau traded his birthright for a single bowl of soup.

All of us have our own bowls of soup to reckon with. Listen as Pastor Josh warns us about trading our eternal inheritance for the passing pleasures of the world.

Discipline is an essential part of God’s loving commitment to us as his children. Discipline means “training” or “instruction”. Sometimes it comes to us as a result of our sin, but it may also come to us simply as part of the process of growing in maturity. Listen as Pastor Josh gives us three reasons to endure God’s loving discipline.
