In this episode, Brody specifically spoke to men about what the Lord has created them for. In the Garden of Eden, God blessed man by giving him responsibility. Then, man rejected that responsibility. God created us to work, lead well, and to have dominion. B...

Expositional preaching is one of the pillars we stand on at Snowbird. There are many different styles of preaching, and everyone has their preference. No matter what style people use, there is a right and a wrong way to preach. In this episode, Brody discusses what expository preaching is and why it’s so important to the local church. We need to look at what Scripture says about preaching and be f...

A question we get asked a lot is at what point should you leave your church. No church is perfect and we need to be believers who show grace towards that. But there is a point when major issues in leadership or doctrine should cause you to leave a church. If something in the body of Christ needs to be addressed, then we have a responsibility to address it. It’s vital to belong to a church that rig...

Today Brody jumped back into our Beyond the Flannelgraph series and walked through the life of Daniel. We’re called to be a light in the darkness of this world, and Daniel is someone we can look to as an example.

These past few episodes have been a little heavy, so we wanted to wrap things up a little with some personal stories. We want to be a church, a people, a ministry, that encourages and loves people well. Our hope that people understand that at the end of the day we just want people to understand the love of God and be changed by the power of the Gospel. When God rescues us, He lifts us out of the d...

In this second episode on CRT and intersectionality, Brody, Zach Carter, and Zach Mabry walk through the dangers of using intersectionality as an analytical tool. This theory allows for the most oppressed voice to be heard as a standard for everyone. This puts people playing the role of God and calling the shots. Believers, the Bible is sufficient . We don’t have to go outside of Scripture to find...

Critical race theory (CRT) and intersectionality are complicated and can be intimidating to understand. More clarity is needed to understand the danger of CRT and the whole-scale acceptance of it, not just in the secular world but also in the church.  For this episode, Brody sat down with Zach Carter and Zach Mabry to discuss these topics and bring awareness to the core issues. Christians must alw...

When we see a fellow believer fall into sin and shame, the body of Christ feels that too. We feel the gravity of their guilt, brokenness, and self-condemnation. We should long to see other believers have victory in their sin and come along-side them to push them back toward Christ. This is what the Holy Spirit does for us. He is able to identify and sympathize with our weaknesses. Jesus gave us Hi...

All throughout Scripture, we see that the Lord loves the poor and destitute. We need to follow Jesus’ example and care for those around us. We need to do this not only with our words but also with our actions. People tend to voice their opinions about an issue like abortion but then they sit back and don’t do anything to help. In this podcast, Brody shares why he’s so passionate about fostering ,...

Is it unloving to not wear a mask? Brody addresses a question he got from a church member on why we don’t wear masks at Red Oak Church.

How can our marriages and homes serve as a base of operations for advancing the gospel? Believers, we should be striving to do ministry by engaging people in our homes and ministering to them.

Priscilla and Aquila played a key role in the early church and we can look to them as examples....

Brody tells a crazy story of two missionary couples in this episode. There is a contrast between those who go and stay faithful and those who go and forget their calling.  When it comes to ministry we cannot lose focus.

Here are 9 observations about jealousy. Brody points out ways to combat it and acknowledges when jealousy can actually be healthy. Don’t compare yourselves to others—that’s a sure way to weaken your daily faithfulness. Comparison reveals a dissatisfaction in where the Lord has you and what He’s done for you. Instead, we must learn how to be satisfied in Christ alone. Fight this by pressing into Ch...

In the Christian walk, it is easy to fall into hypocrisy and live an inauthentic life. Jesus even addresses hypocrisy by warning His disciples to guard against it. If they could become hypocrites then so can we. As believers, we need to fight this mindset. We’re not going to be perfect but we must strive to mimic the example Jesus set for us in how to live genuinely. Be real, love others well, and...
