Stello Fello PodcastReconstruction Step 2...Discussing my "second step" in working thru the hurt and anger that I have experienced in my time working in the church - and specifically dealing with:
1. Who am I actually mad at?
2. What do I do when I'm mad/hurt/angry with someone and there's nothing I can do to change the situation.
This one is long because I ran some side rabbit trails and spent probably 3x's the amount of time to say:
1- I was angry at God - so I had to look thru scripture for the an...2022-05-171h 20Stello Fello PodcastReconstructing Faith Step 1...Sharing from my experience in this process of being "hurt" by those I served under (not all - but a few people) throughout my time working as a pastor - and the desire to help us as a group not throw everything out - but rather recognize there is a problem at large in our churches today, but there is also something that we as group of people can do something about it moving forward...
Step 1 - this is not an easy step.
1. Don't quit.
2. Allow yourself the window of time to "take a...2022-05-0948 minStello Fello PodcastDiscussing Proverbs 3...KindaSo I attempted to do what I normally do in my proverbs discussions - and really struggled today to really get anything of substance out at a all.
So why publish it?
- It's ok to not always have a good grasp on something at the moment
That idea that - it's ok to be where you are. It's where you are. But you may want to do something about it in the future if in fact you want to be further down the road in __________.

Destin answers the questions of:

- What's a loss

1- Accept my teaching: Taking that to be true. Is there a process to that? There is one for me... I don't always immediately just agree with what I read.

Points discussed:
1 - "wicked" men don't or aren't able to truly maximize their potential at ________.
"wicked" being simply living out consistently in contrast to God's desire for our life.

Points in the podcast:

This is the wrap up of about an hour of me sharing experiences from working in a church, growing up, becoming an adult and then rationalizing what we do with the things that are right, the things that are wrong and then how I have "practiced" trusting Jesus as it pertains to this entire idea. 2022-04-2611 minStello Fello PodcastDiscussing Proverbs 26:1-12Continuing the Proverbs discussing in chapter 26.
The reference to a "fool" is brought up 11 times (3 reference to folly)
Quick outline of discussion:
1. a "fool" is the disobedient or godless
2. Honor is "weight, value, reverence, position, authority - giving to one by others"
3. Control what you can control - which all I can control is me... and don't worry about the rest, we can trust that as long as we are in line with what God wants us to do or be... then it will be fine.

Started out realizing I need to do a little homework on the first sentence in knowing when Proverbs was actually completed, how that happened and when we believe that the book in its entirety was accepted as "Scripture".
Points hit on throughout this discussion:
1 - overlooking offenses and the idea/s of dealing with conflict relationally with one another.
2 - what do I do when I offend someone or when someone offends me?
3 - surrounding those in po...2022-04-2543 minStello Fello PodcastDiscussing Proverbs 22:1-6Discussing Proverbs 22:1-6 as we continue to make our way through the book of Proverbs (not in it's entirety but in snippets each day.)

3- Living wisely is wise
4- Not thinking less of our self, but less about our self - and being obedient to Jesus brings life

Proverbs continues to be my staple to go to for this:

The Jordan 5 Fire is and has always been my favorite sneaker of all time dating back to 1990 when I was in 4th grade. I've now got both the 2020 version and the Off-White.

I love to refer to this as understanding as “what stirs my affections”. I always begin this question with: “What stirs my affections for God?” - Why? Because those things in turn stir my affections for life, for my wife, for my kids, for work, for being me at a higher level. With understanding the things that stir me also comes the understanding of the things that don’t. It’s just as important for me to do the things that do stir me as it is to not do the things that don’t .2022-01-1124 min

The whole point I'm getting at today is the fact that we as churches too often don't focus on the most important things. We tend to neglect to do the basic things we are supposed to do as pastors - share the gospel and follow up with people really really well. Like, we should be better at that than anyone else, and most of the time we aren't. 2019-11-2135 minStello Fello PodcastI don't feel like a parent - I just feel like a grown up who yells a lot...There was a point a few years ago when I looked at Riane and I said, “I don’t feel like parents anymore.

Pastor Resources PodcastArticle: We Tell People About Jesus Every Time We Get The ChanceLet me ask you this. If Jesus saved every person you shared the gospel with this month, how many people would that be? That literally should be all I have to write on this one.
When it’s all said and done, this literally is the most important thing we can do as a follower of Jesus. If we really believe that you have to trust Jesus for the forgiveness of sins and the alternative is an eternity in a place called Hell…then what in the world are we doing other than sharing this with other people?

Pastor Resources PodcastArticle: We Deal with Our SinAs a whole, we typically do not like to deal with our own mess. I don’t think anyone truly loves admitting that they are wrong.
