Pastors Podcast

Preaching is about delivering truth through your unique personality, and it’s crucial to embrace that authenticity. Join Banning, Donna Lasit, Zack Curry and Nate Edwardson on the importance of finding and owning the message that resonates with who you are as a preacher. Instead of measuring ourselves against others, we must focus on cultivating our own gifts and then contributing what God has entrusted to us.

In this episode, we confront the critical issue of truth-telling in the church. If the church fails to speak boldly and honestly, the next generation may begin to view it the same way they view mainstream media—untrustworthy and unreliable. Banning, Becky, Jeremy, and Christy also explore the distinction between rebellion and immaturity in our walk with the Lord, drawing from Jesus’ responses to Peter and Judas in the New Testament. How should the church respond to immaturity, and why is it dangerous to treat rebellion the same way? Mismanaging these distinctions could have devastating consequences for the church.
