To fill up our churches, sometimes we do some silly things. Things the Bible doesn’t even call us to do. Our guest, Jared Wilson, says that in a move to grow that starts with good intentions, we end up losing the Gospel.
God’s two words to us in the Bible are “Law” and “Grace.” If we misunderstand what each word means and how they relate to each other, we’re in a train wreck. And if pastors get this wrong in their preaching, they’re crushing people’s souls and not proclaiming the gospel. Join Rev. Dr. Justin Holcomb at our recent Key Life Pastors’ Pre-Conference. You’ll get clarity on God’s two words that will free you up.
Though her hopes, dreams, and service were joined to Charles during his life and ministry, Susie also had a life filled with joys, sorrows, hopes, and dreams for twenty-two years prior to meeting the great preacher and for almost twelve years after his death.
Lots of people know Charles Spurgeon, but not as many know the story of his wife, Susannah. Ray Rhodes literally wrote the book on her story and he’s here on Steve Brown Etc. to talk about Susie: The Life and Legacy of Susannah Spurgeon, wife of Charles H. Spurgeon.
Unfortunately, a lot of pastors don’t understand mental illness, or think of it as a purely spiritual problem, and therefore hurt a lot of hurting people. That’s why Steve Bloem wrote The Pastoral Handbook of Mental Illness: A Guide for Training and Reference. Join Steve, with Jerry Parries and Drew Taylor, as he talks with Steve Bloem about how this book can help prepare pastors to deal with mental illness in their congregation.
Join Steve Brown at the Key Life Pastors’ Pre-Conference for a short teaching from Hebrews 4:14-16. You’ll hear about the heavenly Pastor of pastors who identifies with our weaknesses, shows mercy, welcomes us into divine fellowship, and then invites us to do the same thing for others.
Why are so many Christians living defeated lives? There’s nothing wrong with God’s power in us, but there is something that has short-circuited that power in our life together. Join Bishop Herb Andrew at the Key Life Pastors’ Pre-Conference to hear why our lack of forgiveness is making the Church impotent and what God has done about it by his radical grace.
Knowing that I don’t carry the load alone and that there are other people with equal stakes in the church and it’s well being might be the healthiest aspect and reason enough to go with the interdependent model.
