In this solo-episode, I layout ten principles of institutional authority that help us understand the relationship between the family, the state, and the church. 

This episode is a rare solo episode where I talk about how the internet can negatively effect our expectations regarding the local church. It is weird and meanders a little. 

In this episode, I discuss the good and bad of the family integrated church movement with Pastor Shawn Mathis (www.pastormathis.com). 

This episode, I interview Pastor Joseph Spurgeon about a range issues but we zero in on the topic of abortion. We dig into why so many churches are unfaithful in this area and what we can do about it. 

In this episode, I once again talk to Pastor Stephen Baker but with a focus on the work he is doing as the dean of Clearnote Pastors College (CPC) in Bloomington, IN. CPC has a model that differs from the modern seminary model in several ways. Namely, students receive both their theological and pastoral training in the context of a particular local church under the guidance of other pastors. What does that mean? What does it look like? Listen to find out.
