Pride, Idols & Altar Calls

from The Common Good Podcast · host Brian From

What's the sin hiding in plain sight — the one we've dressed up as confidence and call leadership? Brian From tackles pride head-on, drawing from Trevin Wax's convicting piece on why the Church has largely given arrogance a pass even as it ravages our culture and our leaders. Then: a look at altar calls — are they entry points or endpoints? Joseph Woraru's challenge from the Gospel Coalition Africa edition raises the harder question: why do so many respond but so few remain? Plus, Tim Keller on how to spot the idols you didn't know you had, John MacArthur's final sermon and what he chose to say about heaven, a word on the Church — broken, faithful, and still God's Plan A — and a closing devotion on why slowing down to meditate on God's Word is time better spent than almost anything else on your calendar.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
