What Does It Mean to Have the Mind of Christ?

What Does the Bible Say About Christian Unity?

In the final section of His longest recorded prayer, Jesus stops praying for the eleven disciples in front of Him and starts praying for people He’d never meet. Us. 2,000 years later, in Gainesville, Florida. This week — recorded on Father’s Day — Pastor David Chauncey and Pastor Richie Baldwin dig into John 17:20–26 and Westside’s third value: we over me. They unpack what Jesus actually means by “be one,” why Christian disunity is the biggest stumbling block to the gospel, what theological triage is, and why discipleship has to be relational, not digital.

What Is Truth? The Answer Jesus Gives In John 17

The world has been asking “what is truth” since Socrates. It’s still asking. Jesus answered it in John 17 — and his answer doesn’t just inform you. It saves you, sanctifies you, and sends you. This week Pastor David Chauncey and Pastor Richie Baldwin dig into John 17:6–19 — the section of Jesus’s longest recorded prayer where he prays specifically for his disciples. They unpack truth vs. trend, the Matrix red pill moment in John 6, how John could possibly have known what Jesus prayed that night, and the striking contrast between John 17’s prayer of confidence and Gethsemane’s prayer of anguish.

Why Does the Most Powerful Person in the Universe Still Pray?

A lot of times we pray because we’ve run out of options. God is the last call, not the first. But Jesus — the most powerful person in the universe — turns to prayer instinctively. Before the cross. Before anything. This week Pastor David Chauncey and Pastor Richie Baldwin are live from the Southern Baptist Convention in Orlando to kick off a brand new series on Westside’s four values. Week 1: prayer over might. They unpack John 17 — Jesus’s longest recorded prayer — and the one thing that changes everything about why we pray. Also: what D-Day has to do with prayer, the High Priestly Prayer vs. the prayer of consecration, and why eternal life isn’t just a future destination. Week 1 of the Values series at Westside Baptist Church, Gainesville, FL.

What Does It Mean to Have the Mind of Christ?

What does it actually mean to have the mind of Christ? Paul doesn’t just tell us to serve — he tells us to think differently first. Because if you get the mind right, the service follows. This week, Pastor David Chauncey and Pastor Richie Baldwin go deep into Philippians 1:27–2:11 — the mandate, method, and models of service — and the most theologically rich passage of the SERVE series: the Christ hymn and the kenosis doctrine. What did it actually mean for Jesus to empty himself? What does the Council of Nicaea have to do with Sunday morning? And what does George Washington crossing the Delaware have to do with the incarnation? Oh! And here's the Mandalorian clip. 😆 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uelA7KRLINA&pp=ygUjbWFuZGFsb3JpYW4gdGhpcyBpcyB0aGUgd2F5IHRyYWlsZXI%3D] SCRIPTURE: Philippians 1:27 • Philippians 2:1–11 • Hebrews 12:2 • 1 Corinthians 15 • Colossians 1 • Romans 1:18 Full show notes: westsidebaptist.org/podcast-mind-of-christ-philippians-2 Rate and Review We appreciate your feedback!

How Do I Find My Spiritual Gift?

A lot of people are waiting for God to show them their spiritual gift before they start serving. This week Pastor David is back from Turkey and joins Pastor Richie Baldwin to dig into 1 Corinthians 12 — the body analogy, why only 30% of most churches serve, the early church heresy that quietly kills congregations today, and the John Mark story that shows how you actually discover your gifts. Plus: what Pavarotti’s voice has to do with spiritual gifts, and why Pastor David preached in Ephesus.
