Segment 1:

• Church leadership can harm from within—watch for these six red flags.

• Pride, control, burnout, and compromise are signs of sick shepherds.

• Don’t weaponize this list—use it to pray for and support your leaders.

Segment 2:

• Want a thriving church? Be a good churchman—it strengthens the whole body.

• Small habits—prayer, presence, encouragement—have eternal impact.

• Church isn’t just about consuming—it’s about contributing with joy.

Segment 3:

• Your justification isn’t based on your effort—it’s Christ’s work alone.

• The early church affirmed what the Bible teaches: righteousness is imputed, not earned.

• Don’t confuse sanctification with justification—eternity hinges on this distinction.

Segment 4:

• E.O. theology redefines salvation—shifting it from grace to performance.

• Progressive salvation and deification contradict forensic justification.

• The Reformers stood firm—will you?
