The Pulpit Banter

🪄A Skeptical Generation and a Supernatural God

In this episode, we discussed the gifts of the Spirit and why they still matter in today's Church. We live in a generation that has no problem consuming supernatural entertainment, yet often struggles to believe the supernatural accounts of scripture or expect the Spirit to move in the present. From miracles, healing, tongues, interpretation, prophecy, discernment, and the operation of all spiritual gifts, we talk about why the church must not become so modern, skeptical, or intellectual that we lose our expectation for the power of God. The Bible is supernatural. The Church was born in the supernatural. And we still need the gifts of the Spirit today.

🙏Making the prayer closet great again

In this episode of the Pulpit Banter, we're talking about making the prayer closet great again. We reflect on monumental prayer moments from our younger years that grounded us, shaped our walk with God, and still influence us today. We also discuss the necessity of developing a consistant prayer discipline — not just pray better, but to hear clearer, discern deeper, and to walk closer with God.

⛪️Redefining Success in the Local Church

What does success really look like in a church? Is it only full alters, full pews, and fast growth? Or can success also look like discipleship, faithfulness, personal conviction, Bible studies being taught, saints being restored, and people choosing the kingdom over convenience? In this episode, we discussed how revival and harvest often happen at the same time, why every church's growth may look different, and how pastors can find peace in measuring ministry by God's calling instead of someone else's context.

⚠️The Danger of the Doctrine of Eternal Security

The doctrine of eternal security sounds comforting, but does it lineup with the whole counsel of scripture? In this episode, we discussed the danger of preaching a security that removes responsibility, obedience, repentance, and endurance. God is faithful, but the Bible still commands believers to abide in him.

💥Conviction Preaching w/ Jeff Ralston

In this episode of The Pulpit Banter, we sit down with Rev. Jeff Ralston to talk about a subject he calls conviction preaching. In a generation were preaching can become easily polished, psychological, or emotionally manufactured, Bro. Ralston reminds us that true apostolic preaching must lead people to a choice. We discuss the difference between manipulating people into sorrow and preaching real repentance, the preacher's responsibility to let conviction linger, and why the altar call should never be reduced to pressure tactics or performance. Conviction preaching does not just make people feel something; it brings them face-to-face with a question: will you absolutely surrender to Jesus or not? This is a challenging and timely conversation for preachers, leaders, and anyone who still believes the Word of God has the power to reach the heart, stir repentance, and produce lasting change.
