What Do I Think...: Recent Episodes
Jesse McBride
This is a Podcast that explores the questions we might often have regarding the Bible and our spiritual lives, but rarely take the time to think about. We hope as you listen to each episode, you will not just listen, but begin to ask yourself the question, “What do I think?”
In the midst of one of the most chaotic, unstable, and uncertain times, our mind and emotions teeter back and forth. How can we remain or regain emotional stability in a time like this? As we discuss this today, it becomes clear that God’s Word is clear on how can do this, specifically in 2 Peter 1:2-4. Join us for today’s conversation, and as you listen, I hope you will ask yourself, what do I think?

How do we determine what truth is, how do we know truth is truth, and how do we live according to that? As follower's of Christ, if we are to rightly answer these questions, we must start by looking to God's Word. Let's do that together!

Today I sit down with Pastor Justus Froman, and we talk through the idea of as a follower of Christ, how do we balance our rights and preferences that may differ from someone else’s, with the Truth in God’s word and our call as Christians, to be a witness to those that do not believe. We center our thoughts around 1 Corinthians 9, but also view these ideas in light of Christ’s ministry, his expectation of us to love God and others, and how we live that out. As we discuss these thoughts and questions, even if you completely disagree or are challenged by what we think, I hope you will listen to the episode in entirety, and begin to ask yourself, what do i think?
We hope to hear from you!

Today I sit down with Pastor Ben Barlow, as we talk around the question, what am I spiritually feeding and starving? We frame that thought from the lens of John 15 and Galatians 5, as we begin talking about being followers that are rooted in and attached to Christ, and that then He bears fruit in our lives. What does this look like? How do we get there? As we discuss these thoughts and questions, and you listen to today’s episode, I hope you will begin to ask yourself, what do i think?

If we are to "Measure What Matters," what matters? How do we measure spiritual growth? How did Jesus measure spiritual growth?

Today I sit down with Justus Froman, our second of three episodes around the area of church health, as we build off of last week’s episode. Your church is meeting again, is it healthy? How can you tell? What is your church prioritizing? At an individual level, what are you prioritizing? Are we focused on the things that Christ tells us to focus on? Are we measuring what really matters? As we discuss these thoughts and questions, and you listen to today’s episode, I hope you will begin to ask yourself, what do i think?

Today I sit down with Justus Froman, as we discuss some of the changes that have taken place in the church. We discuss the concept of Already, but not yet, a concept often applied to the already completed work of Jesus, but the things that are yet to come. While Churches are meeting, have we fully arrived? Is that the ultimate goal? Is that the church Jesus intended? As we discuss these thoughts and questions, and you listen to today’s episode, I hope you will begin to ask yourself, what do i think?

Today I sit down with Dorthy Roberts. Our nation has made progress over the last 50 years. But is that enough? Shouldn’t we desire to keep moving forward? As individuals, as we observe all that is taking place and filter it through our eyes, if we are to continue moving in the right direction as a nation, we must first look at our own heart, and decide what our part is in the way forward. As we discuss these thoughts and you listen to today’s episode, I hope you will begin to ask yourself, what do i think?

Today I sit down with Pastor Will Ceasar to explore how we begin to move forward, and into the home. While we do touch some on how to apply this to racial reconciliation, we discuss this idea at a broader level in two main areas: how to lead our children, and how to lead ourselves. One of today’s conclusions is that in order to begin to lead our homes, ourselves, and our community, we must address our self image of who’s we are, and where our identity comes from. As we discuss these thoughts and you listen to today’s episode, I hope you will begin to ask yourself, what do i think?

Today I sit down with Pastor Cameron Jenkins to explore how we begin to move forward, in the midst of all we are currently walking through. Today, this is not a political or a race discussion; it’s a Gospel discussion. You don’t have to agree with us. But especially as a follower of Christ, you DO have to begin to take a deep look at your heart, even if that means allowing the Holy Spirit to challenge, correct, and lead you in new ways. As you listen to today’s episode, I hope you will begin to ask yourself, what do i think?

Today is Part 2 of The Pursuit of Happiness. We pick up where we left off in Part 1, discussing the implications of Hebrews 12:9, and the fact that at times, God disciplines us as our Father. The questions we asked in Part 1, lead us to discussing what purposes do afflictions and difficulties play in our lives, and how can we ultimately keep our eyes fixed on God amidst the toughest of times. As we dig into all of this, I hope you will begin to ask yourself, what do I think?
