Our Resolute Hope Podcast

We deal with pain in lots of ways, some helpful and others not.  From a practical foundation, Frank and John discuss the need for understanding, empathy, and above all compassion.

Pain doesn’t have to be the last word in your life.  God can make a way through what you can’t seem to get over.  Join us as we explore Jesus’ mission to bind up the brokenhearted and to comfort all who mourn.

Bobby continues his story, discussing the pain public humiliation, the untimely death of a child, a staggering moral failure, and a world-class smear campaign that he describes as being crucified by Christians.  Hear about his road to spiritual wholeness, a restored marriage, and his decision to allow Jesus to enter his mess and make it his message.  Check out Bobby here: LegacyLeadershipandCoaching.com.

John and Frank discuss the conflict's culmination and resolution.  How did it resolve?  By implementing church discipline for legalism, just as Apostle described in Galatians 4:30.  They discuss how the church responded afterward, along with their renewed efforts to train up the next generations to fight the good fight of faith.

Frank and John recall the initial resistance to the message, which developed into organized opposition.  They discuss tactics that church members used to attack and discredit both the message and the messengers.  Also they consider the role of law, the root of disbelief, that fueled the opposition, and they give examples of how it manifested.

John and Frank describe some avenues they followed to introduce Christ as life into their church's different ministries.  They consider what worked, what didn't, why, and their reliance both on scripture and on recognized voices from outside the church to reinforce the message.

Frank and John describe briefly how they began their journeys to know Christ as life.  They discuss their first steps, as pastor and elder, to introduce their small body of believers, steeped in law and performance, to the full gospel of life and freedom in Jesus Christ.
