Enhanced Podcast: Podcast Episode 23
Posted by: | CommentsThis week’s podcast is our longest yet, at just over forty-four minutes, but hopefully the discussion will prove worth the time. We didn’t even cover all the topics we intended to address. In times past, such long-windedness would have been laid squarely at the feet of Bart Barber, but since he’s not around to blame, we’ll have to come up with another excuse. We began by addressing the response by Dr. David Allen to a review by Dr. Tom Nettles of a book by Dr. William Dembski. If you think you’re confused now, wait until you hear our discussion. We finished the podcast discussing tithing, antinomianism, and Les Puryear.

Podcast Episode 22
Posted by: | CommentsThis week on the podcast, we discuss issues surrounding the allegations made by a Dallas area television station against Ed Young, Jr., and Fellowship Church. Joining us as our guest to help define some of those issues is Dr. John Mark Yeats. Dr. Yeats is assistant professor of church history at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and author, along with his SWBTS colleague Dr. Thomas White, of Franchising McChurch, a book that deals with issues of commercialism and “branding” among large contemporary churches. We went over our self-imposed time limit of half an hour, but hopefully listeners will find the discussion to be worth the time.

Podcast Episode 21
Posted by: | CommentsTimid. Reserved. Reticent. All of these are fine adjectives, and none of them describe our guest on this week’s podcast. Dr. Ergun Caner, president of Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, joins us for a conversation that ranges from apologetics to camels to task forces. Also this week, we welcomed our newest team member at SBC Today, David Worley, though he found out it’s difficult to get a word in edgewise. He’ll be more prepared next week, I’m sure.

Podcast Episode 20
Posted by: | CommentsOur discussion in this episode is given entirely to the topic of a potential changing of the name of the Southern Baptist Convention. Peter Lumpkins joins us as our guest to talk about his recent series of posts on the topic. This podcast is especially notable because it’s the quietest Tim has been in the history of the podcast, and if you know him, you understand the significance.

Podcast Episode 19
Posted by: | CommentsA little later than usual, we’re back with another installment of the SBC Today podcast. We were shorthanded this week, a description at which Scott Gordon for some reason took offense. No one is sure why. In any case, the three of us bravely forged ahead, with discussion about a proposed Cooperative Program change that intrigues us, Missouri’s move to two giving plans for churches, and IMB strategies. And despite our best efforts, Tim Rogers managed to bring a little college football coaching drama into the discussion. It’s a little shorter than usual, perhaps to make up for last week’s 40-minute-plus marathon talk session.

We’re back from our long winter’s nap, and apparently we had plenty of pent up conversation, because this is our longest podcast yet. We shoot for 30 minutes, but things got out of hand, and we went a little past forty this time. We’ll try to do better. Our conversation was mainly occupied with observations about lists.

We began the podcast today with four of us, but Scott had to be taken out in the second quarter due to an injury. Robin, Tim, and I bravely soldiered on, however, completing the podcast without any relief at all. Discussion centered mainly on the Great Commission Resurgence Task Force, only being intentionally diverted by me at the end to discuss Christmas plans in our local churches.

Podcast Episode 15
Posted by: | CommentsThis episode of the podcast features Greg Hall. Greg is the pastor of the First Baptist Church in Cleveland, Oklahoma, and the founder of CREEK Ministry in the Warm Heart of Africa. The name CREEK is an acronym for:
- Caring for the people
- Reaching the population
- Equipping pastors
- Encouraging participation
- Kneeling in prayer
This ministry supports a seminary, medical clinic, and orphanage in the southeast African country of Malawi. In our discussion today, Greg shares how this ministry began and what they do to support seminary students in a country that has a desperate need for trained pastors to lead churches. The seminary is presently facing a financial shortfall that threatens its continued existence, and Greg shares the details of that crisis in the podcast as well. If you or your church would like to help meet this need, the best way to do it is to send a check to the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma. Make the check payable to “BGCO,” and write “Malawi Seminary” on the memo line, then send it to:
Cindi Robinson BGCO 3800 N. May Ave. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73112
You can also send support directly to the CREEK Ministry. Make your check payable to “CREEK Ministry,” and send it to:
First Baptist Church Creek Ministry P.O. Box 656 Cleveland, Oklahoma 74020
