The Christian Podcast Community

In this episode of the Shepherd Press Podcast, host Shannon K. McCoy sits down with Jon Scurtu, ACBC-certified biblical counselor, pastor at Logos Baptist Ministries, and author of Growing Out of Sin and Into Holiness, to unpack the doctrine of sanctification. Jon helps listeners move beyond common extremes of either self-effort or passivity, grounding growth in holiness in the believer’s union with Christ and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit. Rather than presenting sanctification as self-improvement, this conversation reframes it as a grace-driven process that unfolds through Scripture, prayer, community, and suffering.Throughout the episode, listeners are reminded that sanctification ultimately flows from delight in Christ, not mere duty.This conversation unpacks:What sanctification is—and why it is often misunderstood How union with Christ produces lasting growthThe balance between God’s work and our active effort in the Christian life- The empowering role of the Holy Spirit in everyday obedienceWhy identity in Christ must precede effort and behavior changeHow Scripture, prayer, community, and faithful routines function as God’s means of graceThe role of suffering and trials in producing spiritual maturityGrowing out of Sin and into Holiness by Jon Scurtu

When Power Becomes the Measure In this opening episode, we begin a careful, Scripture-centered examination of Bethel’s theology by laying the foundation for how doctrine should be tested.This is not an attack on people or a denial of the supernatural. It is a pastoral call to make Scripture the final authority over experience, power, and testimony.Before critiquing conclusions, we examine framing. Before assigning motives, we test claims. And before moving quickly, we slow down and open the Bible.If truth matters, teaching matters. And if teaching matters, it must be examined with care, humility, and love.#Bethel #BillJohnson #Apologetics #Theology #Charismatics #SpiritFilled #WhenHeavenInvadesEarth #SignsandWonders

Ep.225 The Gospel at the Family TableIn this episode Pastors Ekkie and Nathaniel discuss the responsibility Christians have to use gatherings as gospel opportunities. Rather than avoiding difficult conversations, indulging in conflict, or treating gatherings as spiritually neutral, they call believers to love family members faithfully by pointing them to Christ during these unique gathering opportunities throughout the year.
