Summary

: The Seminary System & the Call Back to Local-Church Discipleship In this week’s Memorable Monday, Rocky Stevenson Pastor of Benoni Bible Church continues the journey through the Council of Trent, focusing on the historic moment in 1563 when Rome mandated diocesan seminaries to reform and standardise its priesthood. While acknowledging the significant impact this system had on shaping Catholic clergy for centuries, Rocky takes listeners back to Scripture to consider a more foundational question: How did God design future shepherds to be raised? Drawing from Daniel’s experience in Babylon and the New Testament model of local-church discipleship, this episode challenges the institutional training model and calls believers to recover the biblical pattern—shepherds formed by shepherds, within the life of the flock. A timely reminder that ministry preparation belongs not primarily to schools, but to the church Christ purchased with His own blood. #MemorableMonday #ChurchHistory #CouncilOfTrent #SeminarySystem #LocalChurchDiscipleship #BiblicalModel #PastoralTraining #LSB #LetsTalkRadio #RockyStevenson #ShepherdTheFlock #Acts20 #Titus1 #2Timothy2 #Daniel1

    Panther: Blueprint for Black Power is the story of the unexpected birthplace of the Black Panther, a site that changed the course of the nation. But it’s not where you might expect. Far from Oakland, the Black Panther and its principles came from just outside Selma, Alabama. Lowndes County, Alabama: a county where every single thing Black folks did was an act of rebellion. A county where an all-Black party made it to the ballot in the year 1966. A county that paved the way for revolution. The fourth season of the Murrow Award-winning Reckon Radio examines the first year the Voting Rights Act was put to the test, deep in the heart of the Jim Crow South. Pulitzer Prize finalist Roy S. Johnson and journalist Eunice Elliott tell the story of Lowndes County and the election that shaped politics - and activism - as we know it.
