Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Leader as Steward (with Colin Smith)
Q: What are some of the practical things I can do in my study and ministry to stay on top of this?
Prioritize time under the Word, cultivate self-discipline, and ensure your study is an overflow of what God is doing in you; regularly examine how you spend time and guard against distraction.
The Leader as Steward (with Colin Smith)
Q: I've got a question, boss, that I've always wrestled with. How do we avoid that becoming our motivation for more?
The motivation should be the joy of serving the Master, and when kept alongside other motivations (faithfulness, devotion, and responsibility), it remains properly balanced rather than becoming the sole aim.
Parachute Church Planting (with Mark Selby)
Q: What was it like to grow from a living-room gathering to a village church?
The hosts discuss early growth through community involvement, rapid engagement with village activities, and turning a small group into a larger gathering while maintaining family-like cohesion and shared meals.
Parachute Church Planting (with Mark Selby)
Q: So Mark, how was it you started at that stage?
Mark describes moving to Hilton, forming a tiny core with his fellow elder and their families, and deciding to plant a church there after initial groundwork, with prayerful backing from Derby churches, a small kids program, and the commitment to be self-supporting.
The Power of Testimony in Evangelism (with Karl Faase)
Q: What is Encounter, and how does it differ from traditional apologetics?
Encounter focuses on Bible reading and real-world encounters with Jesus, using contemporary stories that parallel biblical accounts, to show how faith affects people today. It's gospel-centered but less about argument and more about lived transformation.
