Today, Nathan and Thomas talk about how and why we should befriend lost people. We know we should be reaching the lost, after all Jesus was known as the friend of sinners,  but let's face it, most of the people we know are probably already saved. Today's discussion will dive into this issue and hopefully give us a few ideas on how we can make some friendships with lost people and leverage them for the Gospel.

Teachers in Oregon have to log 125 Professional Development Units every 5 years in order to keep their teaching license. We do this because we want those responsible for teaching our children to continue to learn and grow. If that is true in the secular, how much more important is growth for spiritual leaders? Thomas talks about some ways that you can on purpose improve your Kingdom work.  You can learn more about Heartland Baptist Bible College's MRI here.

This episode originally aired on March 21st, 2021.  Dave Hardy joins us to talk about worship. Bro. Hardy defines worship as “Worship is the voluntary humbling of one person, physically and spiritually, in order to exalt another.” Many churches have a worship service at 11 am on Sunday morning. But going by the definition of the word, perhaps not much worship is actually happening. Bro. Hardy talks to us about how to incorporate worship into the church service and, even more foundational, into our personal lives. You can find Dave Hardy's book Worship and the Ear of God on Amazon.
