EP257: What I Saw At the Southern Baptist Convention / Why Denominations Matter / A Story of Bitterness and Forgiveness

On this Episode: A STORY ABOUT A POORLY BEHAVED FATHER (0:00-13:00ish) I saw a story recently of a father who dumped thousands of pennies on his ex-wife's lawn to make his final "child support" payment. The mother and daughter took this vindictive action and turned it around. This is a good opportunity to focus on what unforgiveness can do to us -- and the beauty that comes when we release our bitterness. THE CHURCH MATTERS (13:00ish-22:00ish) I know denominations of Christianity can seem absolutely mind-numbing at a glance. However, organized churches were the entities that gave us hospitals, orphanages, schools, universities, and a ton more. Let me convince of the power and significance of churched acting cooperatively. WHAT I SAW AT THE CONVENTION (22:00ish-End) From a presidential election to a debate on Critical Race Theory and an obviously growing skepticism (maybe well-earned) of SBC leadership, I have some facts to give you and some potentially meaningful take-aways. ONE OTHER NOTE: The show is slowly growing again. I mean this so sincerely: thank you for listening to me. Thanks for giving me an hour every week. I'm blown away by that. So, thank you.
