The Uneducated And Untrained Pastor

We talk about preaching, praying, The Holy Spirit and nursing home ministries.

We’re gonna talk about single pastor vs a plurality of elders in church leadership.

We talk about how we met and the work the Lord did in opening our eyes to the truth of the gospel and some funny moments in our lives.

What if there were no denominations, mission agencies, or seminaries, would this cause the work of God to stop? No! What if there were no local churches, in particular small, rural churches, would anyone even notice?

Wherever you labor you will find that each place has its own unique style and culture and for a pastor it is your job to understand what that looks like and lead accordingly.

It’s time to man up and act like men! Jesus was hated and killed because of the truth He spoke. Charlie Kirk spoke the truth and was hated and killed for it. The apostle Paul told Timothy we have not received a spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind. Pastor, Christian, this is not a time to retreat but to speak the truth and do what is right!

I get to sit down with Pastor Russell Threet and pick his brain on ministry as a pastor inside the church and outside. He shares insights from his experience about just starting out as a pastor, counseling and a host of other topics. This is a good one!

Do you use a manuscript or are you an outline guy? Maybe you use bullet points or just stick with the Bible to preach. In this episode I’ll give you my take on these styles of preaching.

With so many churches do we really need another one? Well I’m gonna talk about that and give some practical advice when it comes to pastoring.

Brady and Trish share their testimony of their journey in from Brady planting 1:16 Bible Church to Trish’s battle with bread cancer and how in all things they have learned to trust God.

Sharing some of my experiences as to how to manage your time as a bi-vocational pastor.

In this podcast I talk about leading your church according to your beliefs, understanding, conviction and conscience even when you seem to be standing alone.

Harold and I just talking and shooting from the hip on various topics!

In this episode I discuss what makes a church a cult or cultish.

Justin and I talk about how we met, prison ministry, coming out of bad religion and how the Lord worked in our lives to where we are today.

Brady and I talk about salvation, evangelism and pastoring with many stories from the streets!

We have a mandate to preach the gospel but is there a prescriptive mandate as to how to do it? I hope to be able to share from scripture and experience the mandate, methods, modes and manner in which we are to proclaim the gospel.

I sat down with Pastor Sam Ketcher and we talked about his conversion and call to the ministry. We also discussed the importance of being filled with the Spirit in all aspects of life.

Pastors when you see people being divisive in the church you need to deal with it quickly before it becomes a problem.

There is much debate over church membership so here’s my take on the subject.

Stop jumping from church to church and learn what it means to be a committed church member in the good and difficult times.

It’s an oxymoron when a teacher tells you not to listen to teachers what do you do?

What do you do when your joy seems gone? I want to share some things that have caused my joy to diminish and encourage you in how to get it back.

Just because you have been called to pastoral ministry doesn’t mean you just go out and find any church to pastor. You need to pray and wait on the Lord to put you in the church He has called you to lead.

Am I called to preach?
