Some thoughts on the decline of the "Mainline Protestant" Church...

With news of one of our sister denominations (the United Methodist Church) potentially splitting making rounds, Pastors Kyle and Gordon saw this as an opportunity to dish on the decline of mainline protestant denominations in general. What are the primary drivers of this decline? Can we reverse the trends and recapture our once-dominant "market share" of Christian culture? If not, what does this mean for us going forward? If the decline continues, what should congregations start focusing on? All that and more in this episode.

What is the Christian response to violence?

In this timely episode, pastors Kyle and Gordon tackle violence. In limiting the discussion to individual and inter-personal violence, a biblical diagnosis of and prognosis to deal with violence yourself is offered. (Disclaimer: if you have been recently traumatized, we recommend coming back to listen to this episode later.)

How does being a Christian influence our vocation?

You may not preach for a living, but that does not mean your vocation cannot have any less of an impact in the Kingdom! In fact, it might make your witness even more effective. In this episode, we discuss how Christian values and virtues inform and influence the way we conduct ourselves in the marketplace, and what our "calling" means.

How should Christians understand authority?

The story of the human race could be understood as a struggle to define and exercise authority. So where does our authority in the Church come from? What authority do we as a Church have in the world? In this episode, pastors Kyle and Gordon examine these questions and more in a candid discussion.
