  When and How Should Kids Be Baptized?

  Jul 20, 202622 minS1

  When and how should children be baptized? What does baptism mean? And what does the Bible teach? In this episode we explore an important moment parents face: When and how should my child be baptized? Rather than beginning with church tradition, we begin with Scripture—tracing the story of baptism from the Old Testament through the intertestamental period and into the New Testament. We discuss: What baptism is and why Jesus commanded it The biblical purpose and meaning of baptism The Old Testament and Jewish background that prepares us for baptism When and how baptism should be practiced The historical development of Catholic, Reformation, and Baptist views of baptism Why I believe Scripture points to believer's baptism Whether you're considering baptism for yourself, your child, or simply want to understand the biblical and historical foundations of baptism, this episode is designed to help you think carefully and faithfully about this important expression of following Christ.

  Why Families Matter to God (with Dr. David Palmer)

  Jun 19, 202628 minS1

  Why do families matter so much to God? In this episode, I’m joined by my senior pastor, Dr. David Palmer, to explore the biblical importance of family and the unique role families play in God's redemptive plan. We discuss: Why families matter to God as seen in Scripture Where we see the importance of family throughout Scripture Why God so often uses family language to describe His relationship with His people The connection between our physical families and our spiritual family in Christ Throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself as Father, welcomes believers as His children, and forms His people into a family. This conversation explores why those themes matter and how our earthly families help shape our understanding of belonging, discipleship, and life in Christ. Questions, comments, or feedback?
