  Raised in Church, Now an Atheist: WHAT WENT WRONG? | Viewer Q&A

  Aug 17, 202629 min

  Why do so many people raised in church — kids who sang in the choir, taught Sunday school, even served in ministry — walk away from the faith entirely? In this viewer Q&A, Joe and Pastor Cooper tackle two questions straight from you.First, Levi asks about the rise of deconstruction and deconversion: what's the real root of people leaving Christianity for atheism or agnosticism, and how can the church reach the ones most at risk before they're gone? Then Christopher asks a very different-sounding question with the same heart underneath it — what 1 Corinthians 11:14 actually means about a man's hair, where the “above the ears” standard comes from, and how we tell the difference between biblical conviction and man-made tradition.

  It's Time to go Back to School! | Episode 25

  Aug 11, 202617 min

  Backpacks are packed, buses are running, and a brand-new school year is here. But here's the truth most families never stop to consider: the next nine months will shape your child more than almost anything else in their life — and it will either be shaped on purpose, or by accident. In this episode, Pastor Justin Cooper and Joe Moates pull up three chairs — the teacher's, the parent's, and the student's — and talk honestly about what it takes to have a great year in each one.

  When Is it Right to Address an Issue | Ep 24

  Aug 1, 202629 min

  It happens almost every week now — a gifted, well-known preacher is exposed in gross public sin, and the whole church world watches to see how the rest of us respond. So what's the biblical way for a man behind the pulpit to address it? When silence becomes complicity, when speaking becomes gossip, and where the narrow road between the two actually runs. In this episode of The Pilgrim's Perspective, Pastor Justin Cooper walks through why the pulpit can't stay silent, how to speak the truth without gloating, who should address it and who shouldn't, whether it's biblical to name names, and the difference between forgiving a fallen man and putting him back behind a microphone.

  Five Things You Need to Guard | Episode 23

  Jul 25, 202626 min

  Most services aren't lost during the sermon — they're lost in the driveway, the bedroom, and the group text before anyone ever steps on the platform. In this episode of Pilgrim's Perspective , we unpack how to protect the pre-service so you don't kill the service before it even starts. Last week we talked about not killing the service. This week we back the tape up: your rest, your prayer, your preparation, and the state of your spirit when you walk in the door all decide what God can do in the moment. We look at what Scripture says about getting ready to meet with God and walk through five things every believer should guard — plus the things you don't do before you gather. Whether you're a pastor, a staff member, a volunteer, or someone who just wants Sunday to mean more, this one's for you.

  The SBC Just Banned Women Pastors — Here's What the Bible Actually Says

  Jun 29, 202628 min

  The Southern Baptist Convention just made one of the biggest votes in a generation — and the whole country has an opinion. But what does Scripture actually say? In this episode, we break down the SBC's "Truth and Unity Amendment," which passed 6,028 to 2,026 at the 2026 annual meeting in Orlando — formally banning churches with women pastors or women preaching to the congregation. We cut through the noise, lay out both sides of the debate, and go straight to the Word of God.
