Unlearn Church

The word "pastor" is pretty popular for only being mentioned one time in the Bible. Yes, you read that correctly. From Senior Pastor and Worship Pastor to Creative Pastor and even Parking Lot Pastor it seems as if some churches have become too comfortable with handing out the title of Pastor. In today's episode, Matt Jacobson and I discuss this word pastor and other words like elder or bishop or overseer to understand what the Bible really says regarding church leadership.

The number one reason Christians are leaving the church is not because of bad worship music or poor teaching from the pulpit, but instead, it is because people do not feel loved, connected, and cared for. The modern church has succeeded in the creation of Christian friendships. However, many in the church feel their relationships are 10-feet-wide and only one-inch deep. In other words, we’ve mastered Christian friendship while failing in Christian fellowship.

Regardless if you’re Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Reformed, or some other flavor at the ice cream shop, it's likely your church experience is virtually identical and grossly predictable. But what if the church gathering as we know it is not the Church gathering as He shows it? In this episode, we’re going to test what we do on Sunday against what the Bible instructs us to do. We’re going to help you evaluate if your church gathering is actually a biblical gathering.

While most Christians will agree the Bible is true, fewer and fewer are allowing that belief to direct how they live, think, and behave. In today's episode, Dale Partridge and Matt Jacobson answer difficult questions and confront common arguments about the Bible's authority in the lives of Christians.

It's true... millions of Christians are leaving the church on a search for Jesus. The very place called to represent the Good Shepherd is leaving sheep hungry, lost, and confused. In this episode, Dale Partridge and Matt Jacobson uncover the tragedy of the church and discuss how to heal it.
