Hard Conversations Require Relationship - Jim Putman

from Real Life Theology Podcast · host RENEW.org

Jim Putman shares his journey from rejecting the church to embracing discipleship, arguing that hard conversations require deep relationships. He emphasizes the need to hold both sound doctrine and Jesus’ methods together, what he calls "two-fisted" faith, so the church can effectively make disciples and withstand cultural pressures. He warns against prioritizing relationship at the expense of Scripture, urging leaders to equip believers to live out and pass on the faith instead of producing passive spectators.   Download the free RENEW.org App - https://renew-app-page.bolt.host/ Visit RENEW: https://renew.org/   Check out the following from RENEW.org: Events: https://renew.org/resources/events/ Videos: https://renew.org/media/videos/ Podcasts: https://renew.org/media/podcasts/ Articles: https://renew.org/articles/ Free eBooks: https://renew.org/resources/free-ebooks/ Books: https://renew.org/resources/books/ Audiobooks: https://renew.org/resources/audiobooks/ Sermon Tools: https://renew.org/resources/sermon-tools/ Job Board: https://jobs.renew.org/ Renew University: https://renewuniversity.org/ Real Life Theology Conversations: https://renew.org/rltc/ Sign up for our newsletter: https://renew.org/resources/newsletter-sign-up/
