This week on Behind the Pulpit, Pastor Bob is joined once again by Pastor Dave as the team kicks off the episode with a brand-new Weekly Warm-Up, reflecting on Romans 12:15 and what it means to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep—especially during the Christmas season. From there, the conversation moves into In the News, where the pastors thoughtfully engage recent cultural and theological headlines, followed by another installment of the Book War, offering recommendations that help Christians think more clearly about truth, theology, and the world we’re living in.
In the sermon recap segment, the pastors unpack Isaiah 58 and wrestle with its challenging call to authentic worship, justice, and mercy. The discussion explores how God confronts performative religion, calls His people to care for the vulnerable, and invites the church to live out faith in tangible, costly ways—pressing listeners to consider how obedience to this passage should shape everyday Christian life.
The episode wraps up with the Theology Sprint, tackling a difficult and often polarizing question: Should Christians support or oppose the death penalty?—bringing the conversation to a thoughtful close that challenges listeners to engage complex issues with biblical clarity, humility, and conviction.
