Along the way, we share stories about our own pets, explore key passages of Scripture, and discuss why this questio...

As America celebrates 250 years of independence, we take a step back to ask a deeper question: What does it really mean to be free? Political freedom is a tremendous blessing, and we're thankful for the liberties we enjoy as Americans. But even in the freest nation on earth, people still struggle with fear, guilt, addiction, anxiety, and sin. Why? Because true freedom is more than the absence...

This week on Two Pastors: Conversations About Everything , we’re coming to you from the South Carolina Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church! Every June, United Methodists from across the state gather together for worship, prayer, fellowship, learning, and the work of the Church.

The ones that feel confusing, repetitive, difficult, or just plain hard to connect with?

When we pray, should we start with praise… or go straight to our requests? In this episode, we unpack a listener question about prayer and explore why praise and petition were never meant to compete with each other. From the pattern of the Lord’s Prayer to the structure of historic collects and prayers of the church, we talk about how thanksgiving shapes our perspective, deepens trust, and changes...

Our community is hurting. It feels like every day there’s another tragedy. Another shooting. Another family grieving. Another life lost too soon. This past week, our city experienced the loss of a police officer in the line of duty, while violence among our youth continues to rise. In this episode, we have an honest conversation about the violence we’re seeing in Greenwood and communities everywhe...

Is the church actually doing okay? It’s easy to focus on church decline, cultural shifts, and everything that feels discouraging. But is that the whole story? In this episode, we talk honestly about what we’re seeing in the church right now—and believe it or not, there’s a lot of hope. We see people searching for deeper meaning. We see hunger for God. We see people wanting more than just “going to...

We’re all following something. Whether it’s social media, culture, friends, or the constant noise around us, the voices we listen to shape the direction of our lives more than we realize. In this episode, we talk about what it means to be careful who—and what—we follow. Looking at John 10 and Psalm 23, we explore Jesus as the Good Shepherd, what it means to recognize His voice, and how following t...

We all have them… the little things that just get under our skin. Shopping carts left in the parking lot. Sitting at a green light way too long. Slow drivers in the fast lane. In this episode, we have some fun talking about what “grinds our gears,” but we also take a step back and ask a deeper question, what does constant complaining do to our spirit, our relationships, and even our relationship w...

This episode is a little different. It comes out of a class project on the Gospel of John, where we were asked to wrestle with a big question: What does atonement actually mean in John’s Gospel? We look at Gospel of John 3:1–21, the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus, and ask some honest questions. Why does Jesus talk about being “born from above”? Why does John focus on belief and life inst...

This past Sunday looked a little different. The church gathered… and then the church scattered. For Community Care Day, we stepped outside the building and into the community, serving, visiting, building relationships, giving, and simply showing up for people in real and meaningful ways. From yard work and hygiene kits to communion with shut-ins and fellowship at Wesley Commons, it was a powerful...

It’s Masters week… which means the azaleas are blooming, Amen Corner is calling, and the pimento cheese sandwiches are ready. Oh, and there’s some pretty good golf too. In this episode, we talk all things Masters. The history, the traditions, and why it truly is “a tournament like no other.” But we also take it a step further. What is it about beauty, rhythm, and shared experiences that draws us i...

Life doesn’t slow down. Work, church, family, responsibilities… it all just keeps coming. And somewhere along the way, what once felt meaningful can start to feel exhausting. In this episode, we’re talking about something almost everyone has experienced—but not everyone understands: burnout. What is burnout… really? Is it just being tired, or is there something deeper going on? We unpack what burn...

Why does God seem harsh in the Old Testament… but loving and patient in the New Testament? It’s a question a lot of people wrestle with but don’t always say out loud. In this episode, we take an honest look at that tension. From sacrifice and judgment to grace and forgiveness, we talk about what can feel like two very different pictures of God, and whether they actually are. We explore how God’s c...

Everyone wants to get stronger. But are we focusing on the right kind of strength? In this episode, we dive into 1 Timothy 4:8 and the powerful contrast between physical training and spiritual growth. We talk about gym routines, discipline, and why building strength in the body is only part of the story. Because while physical strength has value; spiritual strength shapes who you are. If you’ve ev...

We live in a world that never stops. Deadlines. Notifications. Responsibilities. Expectations. Even the good things in life can leave us exhausted. So what if the problem isn’t that we need better time management… but that we’ve forgotten how to rest? In this episode, we talk about Sabbath, what it really is, where it began in Genesis, and why God didn’t rest because He was tired. Sabbath wasn’t a...

How do you know if God is calling you? In this episode, we talk about what it really means to be called by God. We look at the stories of Abraham, Moses, Isaiah, and the disciples; ordinary people who were invited into extraordinary purpose. Some were hesitant. Some felt unqualified. None of them had it all figured out. But they responded. We also share our own call stories; how we sensed God lead...

In this episode of Two Pastors – Conversations About Everything , we talk honestly about what it means when God feels far away. Sometimes distance grows from guilt or shame. Sometimes it comes when we rely more on feelings than faith...

Can a song that never mentions God still sound like worship? In this episode of Two Pastors; Conversations About Everything , we explore music that wasn’t written for church… but carries spiritual weight. We talk about how truth, longing, confession, and hope show up in unexpected places. Are people singing prayers they don’t even realize are prayers? Is God’s truth echoing through culture more th...

We’ve all heard them. Phrases that sound spiritual, get quoted in church, and feel biblical… but aren’t actually in the Bible. In this episode of Two Pastors – Conversations About Everything , we take a closer look at some of the most common sayings people assume come straight from Scripture and compare them with what the Bible really says. Why do these phrases stick? Where did they come from? And...
