The Two Talents Pod

Does God need your money? Should I be tithing 10 percent, or should I be tithing everything I have? Should I forsake all my earthly possessions and go live under a bridge and preach the gospel? Well, we can't answer the last one but Jon and Danny have a few thoughts on God and money!

How do we balance being called to perfection, and understanding we can't live up to that? Can we expect sanctification on earth? Will God ever turn His back on us if we keep screwing up? These are some of the most difficult concepts to wrestle with. Jon and Danny try to do justice and walk with you through it!

Listicles!! We wanted to put a positive spin on last week's episode and talk about things that Jon and Danny have seen work for churches in the past and present for their churches and other surrounding churches. If you have a church that is struggling with any aspect, this is a great place to start!

Don is the senior pastor at Firm Foundation Ministries. We say senior because he is committed and has dedicated his life to lift up, reach, and teach the next generation of young leaders. He took over a small, withering church and God blessed it to turn around into a multiple decade success story through his work ethic and by following the Holy Spirit. Don talks about how all of this amazing story came to fruition, how we can lift up other young leaders and points out some things the local churches can do in order to solve all of the world's problems. This is one you won't want to miss!

JR is the owner and operator of Brush Fires Ministry. They are a Psychometry ministry dedicating their services to help Christians figure out "What does God want me to do with my life?". In this episode, Danny, Jon and JR really dig deep to discuss what makes people tick, what dictates what a person should be doing with their life and ministry and how do you find out what your calling and purpose truly is? Trust us that you won't want to miss this episode!

Is it just a sign of the times? Is what we're doing ineffective? Are we doing the will of God and furthering the kingdom with our tactics or are we creating division and creating more problems? Danny and Jon do a deep dive on some of the more common issues the churches today have and what are some alternative methods that may work better!

Steve Moon is a director/producer/jack of all trades and master of a few. He is dedicated to sharing his life and testimony by being the best movie producer he can be. Steve prioritizes message over method. Steve has overcome many obstacles and does the best with the talents God has given him and in turn, gives God all the glory. Jump behind the scenes as we pick Steve's brain about his life, experiences, and how he tries to share God's message in his movies!

Seth Sparrer wears many hats. He is a youth leader, he will be preaching at a revival shortly and is currently finishing a book, "Plugging Into God". Seth is passionate about gaming, youth, but most importantly, reaching people and sharing Christ with them. He shares his thoughts on youth ministry and some of the concepts he has been implementing to bring youth to Christ and keep them plugged into God!

Well. That was awkward. You've been in the Bible for a few weeks now, gaining all kinds of exciting information and life stories that are easily interpreted. Anddddd... now they're talking about foreskins, and she bears, and sandals. Oh my! What do these crazy stories in the Bible mean? Is there really a lesson we can learn from all of it? Jon and Danny have some, well, let's call it "interesting" takes on these questions and more. Buckle up and get ready for a more lighthearted and laugh inducing episode!

Sometimes things just simply don't work out. Time stands still for no one and nothing. Churches grow, and churches die. So what does that look like realistically? Is just shutting the doors the only option out there? What resources are available? Is it all your fault? Jon has done extensive research to answer these questions and even more!
