When you fly the American flag, are you simply saying, “Yeah, it’s where I live." Or, are you pledging your support to an entire way of life?

On this podcast, a look at how we got here. Plus, some very practical advice for those holding traditional biblical views to help prepare themselves…and their children….to engage with and answer an increasingly challenging culture.

Problem: Most of energy from evangelical churches is spent cursing the increasingly hostile and secular culture. The problem is that not enough energy is spent helping Christians understand and embrace a Biblical or Christian worldview. Fact: Only 4% of Americans have a biblical worldview.
Solution: The focus of The Post Covid Church leaders must be on understanding, embracing and teaching the Christian worldview. That means the not just knowing scripture, but also how the faith must be lived out.
Learn how to define a worldview, see evidence of how even Born Again Christians are straying and hear powerful ideas on how to strengthen The Post Covid Church by tackling head-on today’s biggest cultural issues.

“Hate the sin, love the sinner.” Has there been a more tossed around, misunderstood and, far too often, empty statement? On this follow up podcast, a look more deeply into what grace looks like in the face of a sexual revolution.
Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stuart-kellogg/message
Can’t followers of Christ simply disagree about what’s sexually OK, what marriage means and whether folks can just be the gender they feel like today? Well, if you don’t believe sexuality is very important to God, then it’s not that big a deal. If, however, you believe what the Bible says sexuality means it IS a very big deal to God, then it’s not a debatable point. What is also not debatable: Once gay marriage became the norm, resisting all other sexual restraints became much tougher. Hear the arguments for and against a progressive interpretation, see how children are now the targets and learn how to defend what the church has universally defended for all but the last 15 minutes.

If The Post Covid Church is to fulfill the great commission in the face of a quickly secularized culture, it must be willing to re-think how it operates.

Followers of Christ are called to be prepared to defend the faith, so I decided to do so in the face of an aggressive atheist whose podcast, The Bible Says WHAT!? is designed to tear Believers away from their belief in God. Michael Wiseman hasn’t just walked away from the faith of his youth, but is now in full attack mode against the God he once worshipped. It certainly wasn’t a boring chat. On my podcast, a taste of the tough questions, my answers and the sparks that flew.

The most damaging fallout to the church in this Post Covid time isn’t the lower attendance and higher number of Americans walking away from the faith. It’s the inability of so many evangelicals to hold and articulate a Christian worldview. Here’s one example: One out of three Christians who believe the Bible is totally accurate in all its principals also believe the Koran, Book of Mormon and the Bible, teach the same truth simultaneously. How our Christian faith influences how we look at the world has never been more important. On this episode of The Post Covid Church Podcast:What Now?, three lay leaders from various communities who all were trained in the Christian worldview share what they’ve learned from the shutdown that serve as lessons for all us all.

Those who prayed in the midst of the pandemic induced shutdown that their church would some day return to normal hopefully now realize the reality: THIS is normal. The Post Covid Church project began in 2020 to help churches learn how best to lean into the pandemic by creatively fulfilling their mission. Now the challenge is even greater, with a smaller church and more hostile culture. This is the first episode of the re-launched podcast series. Challenges Dressed As Opportunities features three lay leaders from diverse communities using what they learned during the disruption and helping their churches thrive.

An old adage in the business world: “You can’t manage what you can’t measure.” The problem for the church is too many leaders have picked the wrong things to measure. Take attendance and membership. Craig T Owens , pastor and author of Shepherd Leadership: The Metrics That Really Matter, points out that one key to a biblically healthy church is the quality, not the quantity, of members. Another is choosing pastors for more than their ability to preach. Listen to how The Post Covid Church can have a real impact only if it re-thinks what’s biblically important.

Can this pandemic that has touched every corner of the world, focused the mind of even the most strident secularist and decimated the church lead to another worldwide revival? Not unless we do more than wait for it. T.M. Moore has written more than 30 books and is a renowned expert on revivals. The author of Restore Us says we first need to realized that a “revival” is not an organized event, with special speakers and a pot luck supper. Historically, great revivals like "The Great Awakening" have always begun with repentance and “extraordinary seasons of prayer.” Listen to what The Post Covid Church must do now if there is to be hope for any kind of real revival.

Three out of four American students who arrive on campus as Christians lose their faith. That’s why the organization Ratio Christi exists. The rapid growth of hostility and persecution against foundational Biblical faith means, however, that it's more important than ever that the church better prepares young Christians. It means making youth ministry more than “skinny jeans and fog machines”. Dr. Corey Miller explains that if churches aren’t including apologetics across all age groups, they’re not doing their job.

Dr. Harry Reeder’s career has focused on revitalizing the local church and helping pastors and lay leaders across the country do the same. The Senior Pastor at Briarwood Presbyterian Church in Birmingham, AL is quick to say the roadmap he shares isn’t his, but Christ’s.

But not impossible. The author of "From Embers To A Flame, How God Can Revitalize Your Church" pulls no punches as he identifies what The Post Covid Church must do if it’s to regain its influence and make disciples.

Too many churches are focused on just getting folks back in the building and ignoring the trauma all have faced, to various degrees, during the pandemic.

Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, author of “Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore You Sanity” has specific answers on how to become stronger in the wake of the pandemic.
