Following Jesus is not a call to play it safe. It is a call to serve His kingdom with courage, knowing that our security rests in His grace. We also answer questions about worship leadership, including performance versus worship, vocal improvisation, expressive worship, musical excellence, and spontaneous moments in church services. Topics include: The parable of the ten minas Faithfulness, stewardship, and fear of failure Performing with excellence without seeking personal glory Whether talent can distract from Christ The benefits and concerns of spontaneous worship Why different churches worship in different ways

In this episode of Know Grow Go, we talk through Luke 19 and the story of Zacchaeus, the chief tax collector who wanted to see Jesus and ended up being sought out by Jesus. We discuss the contrast between Zacchaeus and the rich young ruler, what true repentance looks like, and why grace leads to transformation rather than performance. We also answer listener questions about aliens, doubt, Pride Month, Christian witness, and what biblical events we would want to see in person. The conversation moves from cultural curiosity about aliens to deeper questions about authority, faith, Scripture, false hope, and how the church should engage people with truth and compassion. This episode covers topics like: If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about Zacchaeus, repentance, aliens, cultural issues, pride, sexuality, doubt, or the reliability of Scripture, this episode will help you think more carefully and biblically. Key takeaway: Jesus came to seek and save the lost. That truth should shape how we see ourselves, how we respond to grace, and how we engage a culture looking for hope in all the wrong places.

In this episode of Know Grow Go, we talk through Luke 18 and the healing of Bartimaeus, the blind man who cries out to Jesus, “Son of David, have mercy on me.” We discuss the contrast between the rich young ruler and Bartimaeus, what it means to recognize our need for Christ, and how Jesus responds with both authority and compassion. We also spend time talking about lament, suffering, grief, and the Psalms, including why Christians need language for pain and why biblical joy does not mean pretending everything is fine. From there, we answer listener questions about women serving as pastors or elders, complementarianism, church leadership, and whether there are topics we would be willing to lovingly debate. This episode covers topics like: Luke 18 and the healing of Bartimaeus Jesus as the Son of David Mercy, faith, healing, and discipleship The contrast between Bartimaeus and the rich young ruler Lament, suffering, grief, and the Psalms Why Christians should not avoid pain, but walk through it with the Lord Women in leadership, pastors, elders, and 1 Timothy 2 Complementarianism, egalitarianism, and church order How pastors can handle disagreement without creating confusion Open handed issues, friendly debate, and unity in the church If you’ve ever wrestled with suffering, grief, your need for Jesus, questions about women in church leadership, or how Christians should handle disagreement, this episode will help you think more carefully and biblically. Key takeaway: Jesus meets needy people with mercy. Whether we are crying out for help, walking through grief, or seeking clarity in difficult theological conversations, the call is the same: go through it with the Lord and trust His goodness.
