Season 15 Patreon Q&A

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley to answer questions submitted by their Patreon supporters!  Questions Covered in This Episode: Do you have any recommendations for books on Israel and the church? What have you been studying recently? How has that encouraged you? Do you have resources on the theology/doctrine of life? When thinking of Old Testament Christophanies, is Jesus appearing as a post-resurrection ascended Christ? What is the definition of fellowship? How do you balance fellowship and education spaces? What are your thoughts on paying singers who are not believers to be in the church choir? How do you communicate the difference between performance and worship? Are you a fan of El Clásico? In addition to the deep discipleship program, what Bible studies would you recommend for a student small group? As a female leader, how do you persevere through others' comments about your leadership? Is there a resource that explains the gathering of believers and the Lord's Supper being connected? Revelation discusses the foundation of the 12 apostles. How does Paul become an apostle if he is not part of the 12? How transparent should a church be with its finances? What is the presence of God different in Genesis 3-11? Does Training the Church have other podcasts coming in the future? What words of wisdom would you give to pastors in addressing cultural moments on a Sunday (i.e., Charlie Kurk)? What is the church's position on the Israel-Palestine conflict? Should we think of God as Father before Creator? Do you prefer holding multiple services vs. one large service when a church is growing? How do you keep a spirit of unity with multiple services? How do you navigate serving in church while being fed yourself? What is the balance between a “go and tell” vs. a “come and see” church? Is it biblically appropriate for someone who is not a pastor to officiate a Christian wedding? Our church offers private communion but also teaches strongly against an individual Christian life.
