We Talk Truth

In this week's episode we discuss mechanical instruments of music and the Lord's Supper. Aaron and I missed Brock but we were very excited to have Phil Sanders on the show. It was a very good time and discussion. Phil was so humble and acted like we were big shots and the boon went from us to him. We assure everyone that it was he who bestowed the boon. Arron and I were beyond blessed to have Phil fill in for Brock and we know you will be too! 

This was such a wonderful episode to record. If you have even wondered about Jesus' one true church and whether or not it can be found today please listen to this podcast. We also talk a little bit about evangelism and how to discuss the church Jesus built. 

With so much division over matters of academia in the Lord's church now days it may behove to have a discussion about exactly what is damnable doctrine or heresy. In this podcast we do just that. This is an emotionally charged podcast. I think it is good for brethren to publicly disagree and still be friends. We do not have to divide along these certain lines that are arguably matters of academic pursuit. Listen in and let us know what you think. If you want to support what we do, www.patreon.com/nearchurches

Wondering who the other fisherman is? Well, it is Satan. This episode was inspired by a lesson that was preached by a friend of ours bearing the title, The other Fisherman. In this episode Brock and Tony discuss this idea and some other stuff. This was a pleasure to record and we hope you enjoy it as well. 

One of the topics of discussion that will always get Brock, Aaron, and Tony fired up is personal involvement. If we look around and see opportunities for improvement the root cause can always be traced back to personal involvement. In this episode we get pretty deep into what it means and looks like to be personally involved in Christianity. 

Because of being out of the studio this week's episode is the Sunday morning sermon from the Bay church of Christ. We hope you will listen with eternity in mind and rethink our commitment to spreading the gospel in this world.

In my years of online evangelism I have noticed one constant, folk love to espouse and promote their own viewpoint and opinion. Sadly this translates into a big problem with online evangelism. What if a person always came into your assembly and challenged you when you were teaching. You are teaching the way the eldership wants you to teach but on these matters of judgment, opinion, and grey area someone just always says you are wrong or offers a dissent. You know this would undermine what you are trying to accomplish and it would not be tolerated very long. We need to conceptualize social media in this manner. In this episode Brock, Aaron, and Tony talk about this issue. If you like what we do consider becoming a patron: www.patreon.com/nearchurches

This is an emotionally charged episode. It is difficult to discuss this topic with folk because of emotion and hard cases. Hopefully we will say helpful things and maybe cause some to rethink their position. Also, this is episode 21. It sees we have gotten off by one on the episode count. We'll correct that from here onward. If you like what we do and want help us do it become a patron, www.patreon.com/nearchurches 

In this episode we look at a parable that is normally interpreted as happening at the end of time. We see how this parable is not talking about the 2nd coming of Jesus but the coins of the Christian age and subsequent destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70.If you like our stuff consider being a patreon, www.patreon.com/nearchurches
