Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Becoming Like Jesus with Cor Bennema
Q: What does it mean to follow Jesus?
Following Jesus includes relationship, loyalty, and learning. It is not identical to imitation, but discipleship allows people to observe Jesus and can naturally lead them to imitate him.
Becoming Like Jesus with Cor Bennema
Q: What is the big idea of your book?
Bennema argues that early Christian imitation was a creative, intentional process of discerning and following exemplary people, especially Jesus and Paul, as part of ethical formation within God's family.
One Pastor's Journey with David Pendergrass
Q: Where have you pastored? What kinds of things do you find that compel you and draw you into that role?
He says he served five or six churches across several states and denominations, and continued because he felt called by God despite painful experiences and betrayal in ministry.
One Pastor's Journey with David Pendergrass
Q: What is it that brought you back?
Pendergrass says professors and other people helped answer his questions, including by directing him to C. S. Lewis. The first period of doubt lasted about 18 months and the second about six months.
SongTheology with Tyler Newberry
Q: What is SongTheology and how does it help worship teams decide which songs to use?
SongTheology is a seven-criteria scoring tool (maximum 35) that analyzes lyrics for scriptural grounding, doctrinal clarity, God-centeredness, gospel presence, clarity, congregational usefulness, and pastoral durability. It helps worship teams quickly assess whether a song is suitable for congregational use without replacing personal discernment.
