Christ Presbyterian ChurchPastor's Cut: A New Creation in ChristIn this episode of Pastor's Cut, host Melissa Schaser talks with Pastor Petey Crowder about week 3 of the Eternal Perspective sermon series. Petey emphasizes that following Jesus isn't about self-improvement but about a total transformation—a new life shaped by God's work, not our efforts. They also explore the subtle dangers of syncretism, the temptation to blend Christian faith with cultural values or self-driven goals, and how true spiritual renewal is both personal and communal, ongoing rather than a one-time event.2025-05-1421 min
Christ Presbyterian ChurchPastor's Cut: Gripped by ChristIn this episode of Pastor’s Cut, Melissa Schaser talks with Petey Crowder about his sermon from 2 Corinthians 5:11-15, focusing on how the Apostle Paul finds identity not in others' opinions but in God's love through Christ. Petey emphasizes the idea of being "compelled" by Christ’s love—not as emotional motivation, but as something that firmly holds and shapes us. Listeners are challenged to reflect on what truly grips them in life, and to center their identity in the unshakable love of God rather than external validation or cultural pressures.2025-05-0718 min
