  • Incredible podcast!

    What an amazing addition to my podcasts! Pastor Wade does an incredible job at

    leading and giving insight into topics that just can’t be discussed for times sake during a Sunday morning sermon! I have thoroughly enjoyed hearing from the staff members and various guests. Very thankful to be under brother Wade’s leadership- and getting to know the real and authentic side of them that we may not know. If you are looking to serve, dedicate your life to ministry or discipleship, or just gain insight... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 40: Luke 1 Discussion, Part 2
Q: How should Mary be understood in terms of discipleship and worship without elevating her beyond biblical teaching?
The hosts agree Mary is a model for worship and discipleship, but not to be prayed to or worshipped as a co-equal figure with Jesus; her example is to imitate faith, obedience, and trust in God's promises, grounded in Scripture.
Episode 40: Luke 1 Discussion, Part 2
Q: Yeah, let's summarize the sermon for those who weren't here, including some high points from the Magnificat.
Caleb explains that Mary's song emphasizes heart-level worship rooted in Scripture, the reversal of fortunes, and the coming Messiah whose kingdom transcends earthly borders, while Wade adds that the narrative framework brackets the story and invites readers to interpret the following events through the song.
Episode 38: Missions Pathways with Mike Lazenby
Q: What role do field support positions play in the IMB model?
Field support roles are essential and include housing, finance, logistics, healthcare, IT, and other services that allow missionaries to focus on ministry rather than administrative tasks.
Episode 38: Missions Pathways with Mike Lazenby
Q: How does one begin the process with IMB?
Talk to your local church leadership first, then start the IMB application at imb.org/go, which is about beginning a conversation rather than committing to a lifetime.
Episode 38: Missions Pathways with Mike Lazenby
Q: What options are available to someone sensing a call to missions?
There are multiple pathways: short-term, mid-term, and long-term, including programs like Project 3000 for 18- to 29-year-olds, midterm opportunities for families, and a long-term career path with apprenticeships and ongoing church partnership.
