How to Listen to a Sermon
Are you a regular church attendee? If so, what can you tell me about your pastor’s message from 2 weeks ago? Do you remember any of it? How did it impact your life? Many people blame the pastor if they don’t get anything out of the sermon, but that’s only half true!
Pastor Mike Fabarez, sitting in for Chris Brooks, talks with Pastor Ken Ramey about how to understand what true, biblical preaching sounds like, how to receive it, and ultimately, what to do about it.

Faith in the Public Square
Chris Brooks talks with a man who believes there is hope for America if Christians will carefully align our political views with Scripture rather than retrofitting our beliefs to fit our politics! He will also challenge our thinking about the redemptive role of faith in the public arena and the power of humble, authentic service to others. If you need some hope for our country, don’t miss Chris’s inspiring conversation with Gov. Bill Haslam.
