The Acts 29 Podcast

In this insightful discussion, TJ Tims and Sam Allberry, both pastors at Immanuel Nashville, explore how gospel doctrine fosters a vibrant church culture. They define 'gospel culture' and stress that correct belief must drive behavior. The conversation also tackles the challenges of pastoral weariness, emphasizing that while ministry can be exhausting, there’s beauty in faithful labor. The pair encourage openness among leaders to promote honesty, urging churches to be spaces of real connection amidst cultural challenges.

A change in theological conviction can unravel and rebuild a pastor’s ministry at the same time. Kyllum Lewis from Life Centre Church in Australia shares his story—from charismatic roots and leading his parents’ church to embracing new convictions that reshaped how he leads and loves his people. Kyllum opens up about the emotional and spiritual weight of pastoring, his experience with anxiety and panic attacks, and how the Psalms reminded him that our struggles are not our identity. He also reflects on why outside counsel is essential in challenging seasons and the warning signs church planters should pay attention to. Through it all, Kyllum brings us back to one steady truth: God’s grace really is that good.
