The Southern Baptist Convention recently voted to oust Saddleback Church, one of the first megachurches in America, from its denomination, not because of moral or ethical issues, but because Saddleback was allowing women to preach and serve in leadership roles. What would cause a religious giant like the SBC to make such a bold—or boneheaded, depending on who you ask—decision? Elane and Benton discuss what happens when culture and church collide.

In this episode Pastor Tony Cooperwood continues his teaching on a purpose-driven life.  Pastor says God has a plan for your life.  You're not an accident.  You have been fearfully and wonderfully made by God to do great and mighty things.  Yes, God has a plan, a will, and a purpose for your life.  Tune in to learn how to discover and achieve the purpose-driven life God has for you.

What is the most important way to live your life, according to Jesus? In this episode, we look at the life and habits of Mary of Bethany - a woman commended by Jesus. We contrast her with the irritability and anxiousness of her sister, Martha. How is it that Mary was praised by Jesus, while Martha was so disturbed and short-tempered?

Apologist and author Lonny Robison joins us to discuss interacting with skeptics, atheists and anti-theists (?) on the internet. Is that a fruitful and wise activity? We also discuss Dr. Craig Keener's massive work on miracles, recounting testimonies of people healed of migraines, holes in their hearts, and even an older lady who was enabled to walk again after years in a wheelchair! What do all of these miracles mean, and can they be used as evidence to prove biblical accounts to skeptics?

Today we are talking with Fresca Chavez, host of Confessions of a Pastor's Kid Podcast.

She talks about her life growing up as the daughter of Southern Baptist ministers who found their faith through missionaries to the Philippines and now navigating her life as a former believer with her believer husband.

We talk about his and more on the show!

Janice and her husband were members of the US military during the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” era. That enforced secrecy, combined with being southern, Baptist, and African American, meant her husband had no safety to come out as gay. In this episode, Janice describes what it was like to live with a husband who began living a double life immediately after they married, the impact his secrecy had on her, and how she recovered her sense of self and her own value.

One of the biggest question of all - why does God allow bad things to happen to people that don't seem to deserve it. Why does God let bad things happen to ME? Today we discuss some of the reasons the Bible gives for our suffering.

How can you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are saved by Jesus and destined for Heaven? In John 8, Jesus tells us how we can have real and genuine assurance of salvation. Also, did Jesus really save an adulterous woman from being stoned?

You've probably heard me say it before: The church is NOT a building, except today, Peter is going to tell us that yes,in fact, the church is a kind of building. What kind of building are we, and who are YOU in light of God's calling?

How can we have an eternally successful life? Jesus gives us the key today. For any human to say what Jesus said - "Live your life doing exactly what I say and you will be eternally successful) would be ridiculous and audacious. But when the King of Kings says it- we should pay attention.

Today we learn about one of the great unknown and unsung heroes of the Bible - and find out how needed and necessary his ministry of wrestling in prayer is needed in today's church.

Kyle is out, so Matt invited Dr. Michael Criner to the show to discuss an opportunity being served up to Southern Baptists on a silver platter. In Nashville for #sbc21, Southern Baptists will be surrounded by people. Yes, decisions need to be made, votes need to be cast, but the people are the mission. Will we tell them about Jesus? Michael and Matt discuss ways to do so, as well as pray ahead of the Annual Meeting.
