Episode Title: The Pastoral Journey – Part 3: How It All Started
Hosts: Pastors Duane Matthews & Kea Matthews (the devilSlayers)
Scripture Focus: Ephesians 4:11-14
Topic: The Pastoral Journey, PT. 3: How It All Started
Episode Overview:
In this insightful episode of The Love Chapters, Pastors Duane and Kea Matthews continue their series, The Pastoral Journey, with Part 3, titled How It All Started. Focusing on Ephesians 4:11-14, they explore how God equips and calls individuals into ministry and the importance of embracing that calling. Through their personal stories, they reflect on the origins of their ministry and how they responded to God's call to become pastors and leaders.
Key Scripture:"So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ."
— Ephesians 4:11-13 (NIV)
Key Discussion Points:
1. The Fivefold Ministry:
* Pastors Duane and Kea break down the roles mentioned in Ephesians 4:11—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—and how each role is essential for building up the body of Christ. They share personal reflections on how they identified their calling within this framework.
2. God's Calling and the Early Days of Ministry:
* The pastors recall how their pastoral journey began, including their initial fears and doubts. They discuss how God spoke to them and provided opportunities for service, leading them to embrace their roles as pastors and spiritual leaders.
3. Equipping the Saints:
* A central theme of the discussion is how pastors and leaders are meant to "equip" others for the work of ministry. Duane and Kea emphasize the importance of empowering others to use their gifts and talents for the kingdom of God.
4. Spiritual Maturity and Unity:
* Drawing from Ephesians 4:13-14, the pastors explain how the ultimate goal of ministry is to bring believers to spiritual maturity and unity in the faith. They talk about the role of pastors in guiding people to grow in their understanding of Christ and become fully grounded in their faith.
5. Challenges in the Early Ministry:
* The devilSlayers share personal stories of the challenges they faced early in their ministry, including moments of uncertainty and obstacles that tested their faith. They offer practical advice for those who feel called to ministry but may be struggling with doubt or fear.
* Kea Matthews: "God calls us not because we are perfect, but because He has a perfect plan for our lives. Our journey started when we said ‘yes’ to His call, even though we didn’t know what the future would hold."
* Duane Matthews: "Ephesians 4 reminds us that the role of a pastor isn’t just to preach but to equip others to walk in their purpose. Ministry is about building the body of Christ, and it all starts with answering His call."
Takeaways:
* God equips each of us for service in His kingdom. Recognize and embrace your calling, whether it's as a pastor, teacher, or in another ministry role.
* Spiritual maturity is an ongoing process. Be open to growing in faith and knowledge, as guided by the Holy Spirit and spiritual leaders.
* Ministry is not a solo journey—it’s about equipping others to walk in their calling as well.

Scripture: Proverbs 28:13 (NIV)
"Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy."
Show Notes Breakdown:
Confession and Renunciation: The second part of the verse offers hope. It reminds us that when we confess our sins and turn away from them (renounce them), we receive mercy from God. Confession is not just about admitting wrongdoing but also involves a sincere commitment to change.
The Power of Repentance: Repentance is more than just saying "sorry." It’s about a heartfelt change in direction. This verse encourages us to let go of our past mistakes and make genuine efforts to live according to God’s will. In doing so, we experience God’s mercy and grace.
Seek Accountability: Surround yourself with trusted friends or mentors who can help you stay accountable. Sometimes, confessing our struggles to a fellow believer can be the first step toward true repentance and freedom.
Embrace God’s Mercy: Remember that God’s mercy is always available. No matter how far you’ve strayed, He is ready to forgive and restore you when you come to Him with a sincere heart.
What does it mean to truly "renounce" our sins, and how can we commit to lasting change?

EPISODE #56 MR & MRS devilSLAYER #TheLOVEChapters Podcast with Pastor's Duane and Kea Mathews
Please see the scriptures used in this podcast and teaching.
Matthew 24.. starting at verse 3..
3Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives. His disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will signal your return and the end of the world?a”
4Jesus told them, “Don’t let anyone mislead you, 5for many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah.’ They will deceive many. 6And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately. 7Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. 8But all this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come.
9“Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers.b 10And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other. 11And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people. 12Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. 13But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nationsc will hear it; and then the end will come
Romans 12:2 ESV /
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect
Galatians 5:16-26 ESV /
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, ...
1 John 4:1 ESV / BELOVED, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world
2 Peter 2:1-22 ESV / but false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep
2 Corinthians 11:3 ESV / 70
But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ

Colossians 3:1
Therefore, if you have been raised with the Messiah, keep focusing on the things that are above, where the Messiah is seated at the right hand of God
Psalm 91:14-15
Because he has focused his love on me, I will deliver him. I will protect him because he knows my name. When he calls out to me, I will answer him. I will be with him in his distress. I will deliver him, and I will honor him
Psalm 119: 140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
