Barnabas Piper, Ted Kluck, and Ronnie Martin cheerfully - if sarcastically - rant about all the things that don't matter all that much (and some that do).
Exploring the relentless grace of God toward jacked-up people who don’t deserve it one bit.
The first podcast written exclusively for Pastors Kids, touching on issues that are relevant to them. Our mission is to share in the comfort of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:3-5
Stories of specific and honest relational touchpoints that changed a person’s life. All Christians have a story about how they came to know God. But those stories aren’t always simple. They can be complicated, counterintuitive, even painful. In this podcast, we’ll hear from Lecrae, Barnabas Piper, Christina Im, Portia Collins, Trevin Wax, and others about that one moment in their lives when everything changed. But more importantly, how every little moment in our lives matters.
Pastors and their families live in a “glass house”—an environment where they are left vulnerable to the stress of ministry, the criticism of others, and feel the spotlight on their personal weaknesses. Lifeway's "The Glass House" is a space where ministry leaders will shed light on the challenges they often don't feel permission to talk about. Listeners who work in the trenches of church life will feel seen and gain tools to navigate ministry and life. Those who live outside this "glass hous ...
