Aug 3: Church Year or Calendar Year - Designing Indigenous Worship
Advent, Christmastide, Epiphany, Lent, Eastertide, Pentecost ... repeat. Does the church calendar really make sense when the rest of the culture wouldn't know a Pentecost from a Pentagram. In this episode, Drs. Kris and Bill tackle this tough question ... is it time to jettison this tradition or is it the church's job to educate the unchurched?
Aug 10: The 8-Rs of Reconciliation
Here at Church-Talk we've spoken a good bit about resolving church conflict. But there's more to resolution than calling a peace treaty - Jesus calls the church to reconciliation. In this episode, learn the 8-Rs of reconciliation and put them into practice in your congregation. When you do, you'll have taken huge strides towards creating an incubator for faith.
Aug 17: Discipleship for Kids
In too many churches, it seems like the main lesson we're trying to teach our children is to "Sit still; Be quiet; and Behave." But Drs. Bill and Kris are convinced that when it comes to children, the main task of the church is to help them become effective disciples of Jesus Christ. In the episode, learn how to move past "Hush!!" to Faith.
Aug 24: Doing Men's Ministry
Getting a good men's ministry going in one of the most difficult and fruitless ministries around. Too often, men's groups do little more than have breakfast, cook the Easter Sunrise Pancake Feed, and take care of the annual barbecue. In this episode, Drs. Kris and Bill get some expert advice from successful men's ministry leaders and share it with you. If your men's group is flagging or non-existent, this is the session for you!
Aug 31: Reworking Women's Ministry
Women have been the backbone of the church from the beginning (note that the Gospels mention that it was the women who were supporting Jesus' ministry). But too many women's ministries are dying out as the average age of the participant reaches almost seventy. In this episode, Drs. Bill and Kris take on this tough issue and offer more than just chiropractic advice on strengthening the church's backbone.
