  The General Body Problem

  Jul 29, 202640 min

  Every year it comes back around. The general body meeting. The nominations, the bylaws, the budget nobody agrees on, and somehow the mango pickle that ends up on someone's head. Jobbin and Jeswin sit with the meeting our community loves to dread, and the church splits, lost friendships, and quiet exits that follow it. They trace where the conflict really comes from, what Scripture actually models for resolving it, and why peace was never meant to be the absence of conflict but the presence of flourishing. If you have ever thought about walking away, start here.

  The Conference High

  Jul 15, 202640 min

  Massive budgets. Packed ballrooms. A spiritual high that fades by Monday morning. Are church conferences actually worth it?Jeswin is back on the pod after a brief break, fresh off PCNAK in Chicago, and he and Jobbin get honest about what these gatherings actually give us. The community. The shared culture. The anonymous questions that revealed what our people are really wrestling with. And what they get wrong too: the budgets, the politics, and the "conference high" that disappears the second real life sets back in.They also bring it back to Scripture, from Peter wanting to build tents on the mount of transfiguration, to Jonah sulking on his own mountain, landing on one real question: how do you carry a mountaintop moment into your actual daily walk with God?Whether you have been to a dozen conferences or none at all, this one will change how you show up to the next one.

  Church Cliques Uncovered

  May 20, 202626 minS7

  You can have the best worship team in the city, a packed house every Sunday, and a pastor who preaches straight fire. And people will still leave because nobody learned their name. In the final episode of the Church Complaint Box series, Jobbin gets honest about the complaint that hits the deepest: the lack of love. Not theological error. Not bad production. Just a church full of people who never made room for you. Anchoring in 1 Corinthians 13, Jobbin unpacks why Paul wrote this passage as a confrontation to a spiritually active but relationally broken church, and why it lands the same way today. He also gets into church cliques, platform politics, "church royalty," and what it actually looks like to be a connector instead of a complainer.

  When Scripture Gets Twisted

  May 6, 202624 min

  What happens when Scripture is used to justify power, silence criticism, or support our own personal agendas? In this solo episode of the Restoring Our City Podcast , Jobbin continues the Church Complaint Box series by unpacking one of the biggest reasons people feel frustrated with the church: twisted Scripture . Anchored in 2 Timothy 4:2–4 , this conversation explores how verses can be pulled out of context, weaponized in politics, misused in church leadership, or even applied in family and cultural settings in ways that hurt people instead of pointing them toward Christ. This episode is not about criticizing the church for the sake of criticism. It is about honestly addressing the complaints people have, learning how to read Scripture faithfully, and rediscovering sound doctrine that is healthy, life-giving, and rooted in the truth of God’s Word. Drop your thoughts in the comments: Have you ever heard Scripture used out of context in a way that pushed people away from the church? Listen, subscribe, and join the conversation as we continue opening the Church Complaint Box. #RestoringOurCity #ChurchComplaintBox #ChristianPodcast #SouthAsianChristian #TwistedScripture #SoundDoctrine #BibleContext #ChurchHurt #FaithAndCulture #ChristianCommunity
