Pastor Scholar Podcast

Send a textJoin us on Episode 42 of the Pastor | Scholar Podcast as we see that missions are not sustained by passion alone, but by truth rightly understood. Scripture warns that zeal without knowledge leads astray, and what we believe about God will shape how we proclaim Him to the nations. If Christ and His Word are not central, even well meaning missions can mislead.  Chad Vegas is the founding pastor of Sovereign Grace Church in Bakersfield, California, where he has served since planting the church in 2006 after completing his M.A. in Theology at Talbot School of Theology. He is the founding board chairman of Radius International and Radius Theological Institute, the founding vice chairman of Providence Classical Academy, and the author of By What Standard? as well as a co author of Missions By The Book. His passion is to know Christ and to make Him known.To learn more about Chad Vegas, visit: https://www.radiusinternational.org/aboutTo learn more about Radius International, visit: https://www.radiusinternational.org/To learn more about the missions debate, visit: https://vimeo.com/306712364 -------------------------------------------------- 👍 Enjoyed this episode?

Send us a textJoin us on Episode 41 of the Pastor | Scholar Podcast as we see that throughout Scripture, God reveals His faithfulness to His promises and His saving purposes for both Jew and Gentile. We explore gospel ministry among Jewish people and the enduring hope found in Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah. As the Word exposes humanity’s need for redemption, it calls every person to repent of sin and believe in Christ alone, in whom forgiveness and life are found. Isaac Brickner serves as the Los Angeles Branch Leader for Jews for Jesus, continuing a family legacy of sharing the good news of the Messiah that began with his great-great-grandmother Esther in Ukraine. Raised in San Francisco, Isaac grew up deeply connected to Jews for Jesus through Camp Gilgal and later embraced God’s calling on his life during a formative missions trip to Israel and India in 2008.To learn more about Isaac Brickner, visit: https://jewsforjesus.org/staff/isaac-bricknerTo learn more about Jews for Jesus, visit: https://jewsforjesus.org/ -------------------------------------------------- 👍 Enjoyed this episode?
