Finchwood Discipleship Podcast

God made each of us for a unique and wonderful purpose, and He's equipped us to step into those purposes and truly enjoy them. Unfortunately most of us don't know what we're made for! In this episode of the Finchwood Discipleship Podcast, we take a look at the gifts God gives us, along with some practical advice on putting them into practice. Chapters: 00:00 - Gifted to Serve One Another 06:47 - Identifying Your Gifts 15:51 - Putting Your Gifts Into Practice "God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 4:10-11a (NLT) "Well, my brothers and sisters, let’s summarize. When you meet together, one will sing, another will teach, another will tell some special revelation God has given, one will speak in tongues, and another will interpret what is said. But everything that is done must strengthen all of you." 1 Corinthians 14:26 (NLT) Thanks for listening! Questions or comments?

In this long-awaited return from the mid-season break, we're talking about finances: what does the Bible really have to say about wealth? Because there's historically been so much misinformation about money in Christian circles, the answers to that question just might surprise you. Give it a listen, and by the way welcome back! Chapters: 00:00 - Welcome Back! 03:02 - The Love of Money 06:14 - Good Money Management 10:01 - Reasons to Live Generously 13:17 - About Tithing 19:38 - But What About Taxes? 21:44 - What and Where to Give 25:17 - A Common Concern Remember to check out Amberley with Combined Finances : https://www.combinedfinances.com/ "Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 (NIV) Thanks for listening!

Let's be honest: time management is something we all struggle with. Some of us are too busy, and some of us feel like maybe we're not busy enough. Time is life, it's money, it's everything. So how we manage it obviously matters to God. In this episode, we look time in the face and ask some very important questions, and then attempt to strike a balance between work and rest, because both are important. Chapters: 00:00 - Review: Opposite Extremes 04:29 - The Problem of Time 08:25 - The Purpose of Good Work 11:39 - Part of a Balanced Diet 17:41 - Finding Your Appetite 20:31 - Agricultural Rhythms 24:19 - Avoiding Burnout "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Psalm 90:12 (NIV) Thanks for listening! Questions or comments?

In the context of modern Christianity, fasting is something we don't really talk about much, and unfortunately we do it even less. To put it bluntly, we're missing out. This ancient, largely forgotten habit has transformed countless generations of Christians, and it can transform us too by tenderizing and sensitizing our hearts to what God is doing to transform us. Chapters: 00:00 - Tell a Friend about Finchwood 00:56 - Introduction to Fasting 05:40 - What Fasting Is and Isn't 14:12 - Motives are Everything 21:55 - Real Life Advice 26:29 - All Things in Moderation "Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; the one who comes to Me will not be hungry, and the one who believes in Me will never be thirsty."

Finally, we've arrived at the big question: what do we do when people around us are caught up in sin? Do we keep our mouths shut? What authority do we have to correct them, and how would we go about doing that? In this 30th episode of the Finchwood Podcast, we take a close look at the Biblical guidelines for confronting other people's sins. Chapters: 00:00 - Review of Episodes 7 & 8 03:39 - What is "A" Sin? 07:48 - Judge Not... 11:37 - Correcting a Fellow Christian 16:05 - About Church Leadership 17:28 - We're Not the World's Morality Police 21:36 - Exceptions and Special Circumstances "My friends, you are spiritual. So if someone is trapped in sin, you should gently lead that person back to the right path. But watch out, and don't be tempted yourself. You obey the law of Christ when you offer each other a helping hand. If you think you are better than others, when you really aren't, you are wrong." Galatians 6:1-3 (CEV)…
Continuing the discussion from the previous episode, how should we respond to sin in others? In a word, the answer to that question is "mercy." This episode covers topics surrounding the forgiveness we can offer to people who sin against us, from the reasons why forgiveness is so important, to practical advice for how to walk through that process in real life. Chapters: 00:00 - Review: God's Mercy 02:36 - Q&A: The Unforgivable Sin 05:22 - Q&A: Can You Lose Your Salvation? 07:32 - Forgive Us as We Forgive 10:21 - The Desire For Revenge 13:01 - How to Forgive Others 15:09 - The Internal Battle 19:13 - Offering Forgiveness through Confession "Yes, if you forgive others for their sins, your Father in heaven will also forgive you for your sins. But if you don't forgive others, your Father in heaven will not forgive your sins." Matthew 6:14-15 (NCV) "If we say openly that we have done wrong, he is upright and true to his word, giving us forgiveness of sins and making us clean from all evil. If we say that we have no sin, we make him false and his word is not in us." 1 John 1:9-10 (BBE) Thanks for listening! Questions or comments?

The Bible says that all have sinned, so it's not like it's a big secret that we all struggle with things. But what can we do about that? This episode looks at the key to receiving not only forgiveness, but actual, lasting freedom from sin. The keywords are repentance and confession, but they might not mean what you think they mean... Chapters: 00:00 - Review: What is Sin? 04:04 - Our Need for Forgiveness 07:23 - Receiving God's Mercy 10:52 - The True Meaning(s) of Repentance 12:48 - Avoiding Sin in the Future "Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen." Jude 1:24-25 (ESV) Thanks for listening! Questions or comments?

Finchwood Discipleship Podcast

This is a follow-up to a previous discussion in which we took a look at how to join a church. At least one listener still had questions about the church-search process after hearing that episode, so this is a closer look at the actual process of selecting a church that you can call your spiritual home for the foreseeable future. A brief discussion about dress codes, as well as a bit about the possibility of starting your own church, are also included. Chapters: 00:00 - Michael's Question 01:53 - Principles to Search By 08:56 - Selected Approaches to the Process 15:20 - What to Wear 16:42 - Starting Your Own Church Jesus said, "where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.” Matthew 18:20 (NLT) Thanks for listening!

We Christians talk a lot about worship, but when we stop and think about it... we really don't think much about what worship is... let alone how to actually do it. This episode explores this essential, but not well understood, aspect of the Christian life. So often our worship simply consists of a sing-along that we participate in once a week, but worship is supposed to be far more than that. It's a life we live, not only a song we sing. Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 01:49 - What is Worship? 04:26 - Many Forms of Worship 08:07 - Acceptable Sacrifices Unto God 12:48 - About Norms and Regulations "Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship." Romans 12:1 (NASB) Thanks for listening! Questions or comments?

Like it or not, we're not designed to be "Lone Wolf" Christians. God made us for community, and existing in fellowship with other people is an integral part of following Jesus... but finding the right church is hard work. This episode breaks down many of the factors that go into choosing a community of faith, and how to make yourself a part of it. Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 01:07 - The Lone Wolf Myth 03:27 - Selected Scriptural Support 06:48 - The Church is Many Churches 08:48 - Unity in Diversity 13:35 - Healthy and Unhealthy Churches 18:39 - Becoming a Member 24:09 - When it's Time to Leave 28:36 - Conclusion "Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another!"

Hi Friends! This isn't a whole episode, so if you're looking for discipleship content you may just want to skip ahead. If you do want the announcements, they are about two small changes we're making. The first is that the editing on each episode will be a bit more relaxed moving forward, while the second is that you should expect new episodes of this podcast to be released every OTHER Friday (the 2nd and 4th of each month) instead of weekly. Chapters: 00:00 - How We're Doing 00:59 - Changes to Audio Formatting 02:08 - Moving to a Biweekly Schedule Thanks for listening! Questions or comments?

Other than prayer, the Bible is perhaps the greatest resource we have when it comes to growing in our faith and following Jesus. In this episode, we take a look at why reading the Bible is so important, how to not beat yourself up about it, and some strategies that will help us read it both consistently and fruitfully. Chapters: 00:00 - Motivation = Transformation 03:13 - Eating Spiritual Food 05:46 - Resolutions and Guilt Trips 07:58 - Establishing Sustainable Habits 10:27 - The Skill of Reading Well 13:09 - Seven Principles for Biblical Interpretation 19:47 - Conclusion "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NLT) Thanks for listening!

Prayer is the kind of thing that sounds like it should be very simple and easy, yet it doesn't always turn out that way. This in-depth look at both what prayer is and how to do it has something for everyone; whether you're a brand new Christian or a seasoned believer, take some time this week to get to know God better, starting with this episode! Chapters: 00:00 - What is Prayer? 02:26 - A Relationship 04:39 - More than a Conversation 07:26 - Talking to God 09:06 - Examples to Follow 11:20 - Methods and Models 14:39 - Making Requests 18:01 - God Responds 22:17 - Speaking in Tongues 24:31 - Additional Thoughts and Resources "God's there, listening for all who pray, for all who pray and mean it." Psalms 145:18 (The Message) "Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done." Philippians 4:6 (NLT) "Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."

When we talk about Christianity, there's an elephant in the room that we don't really talk about much: Christians aren't always a lot like Jesus. What do we do about that? And how do we move forward? This episode very briefly talks about those challenges, first by acknowledging the problem, and then by proposing a possible solution: there is a middle way that runs in between toxic church culture on one side and and full deconstruction and disillusionment on the other side. It's a hard road to walk, but it's worth the journey. Chapters: 00:00 - Announcements 01:11 - What Finchwood is About 02:14 - Avoid the Echo Chamber 02:55 - Dear Former Christian 04:33 - Safety First 05:48 - This is a Safe Place 07:06 - About Deconstruction 08:04 - Distillation as an Alternative 09:32 - Reconstruction: The Way Forward "Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely." 1 Corinthians 13:12 (NLT) Thanks for listening! Questions or comments?

A milestone! Last week, we finished all the planned content for season two, but there are several listener-submitted questions and comments to address. In this episode, we're taking a look at one such comment from Parker, who has questions about sin and the process of asking for forgiveness. Chapters: 00:00 - Parker's Question 01:44 - The Disease (Sin) 06:13 - The Cure (Jesus) 09:55 - Answering the Question "A righteous person falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in time of disaster." Proverbs 24:16 (NASB) "If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything." 1 John 3:20 (NIV) "As for me, it matters very little how I might be evaluated by you or by any human authority. I don’t even trust my own judgment on this point. My conscience is clear, but that doesn’t prove I’m right. It is the Lord himself who will examine me and decide." 1 Corinthians 4:3-4 (NLT) Thanks for listening! Questions or comments?

In this season, we've covered so much of what makes Christianity distinctive - our literature and the way we live our lives - but what exactly do we believe ? What are the distinct points of faith that connect us and define us as Christians? This episode attempts to answer those questions, at least in an introductory way, by going over the fundamentals of theology that Christianity is built on, as expressed the historical statements of faith from the early Church period. Chapters: 00:00 - "We Believe..." 01:42 - Theology isn't Just for Bullies 03:02 - Theology is a Form of Worship 05:13 - Theology is Relevant 07:17 - The Story of Theology 10:00 - Essentials vs. Nonessentials 12:30 - Things All Christians Believe 15:30 - Things Some Christians Believe Note: Though it wasn't mentioned in the episode, an excellent (even if heady) resource for this discussion is Roger Olsen's book The Mosaic of Christian Belief .

Between reading the Bible and applying it to everyday life, there's a hurdle called interpretation. Yes, we can read the text and even revere it, but what does it mean? How do we pull meaning out of what's been written? Perhaps even more importantly, how can we ensure that our interpretations are valid? This episode offers some basic pointers on how to interpret the Bible responsibly and fruitfully. Chapters: 00:00 - The Challenge of Interpretation 01:49 - Historical Context Matters 05:41 - The Bible as Literature 10:05 - Textual Context Also Matters 13:04 - Translation Alphabet Soup 17:11 - What About Paraphrases?

Who wrote the Bible? That one question has sparked more than its fair share of debate in recent history. This episode explores what we know (and what we don't know!) about the people whom God inspired to pen the various books of the Bible.

This week, we continue our look at the Bible by discussing what sources we use to form our beliefs, and how the Bible relates to all other sources.

In this episode, listeners are invited to enter into a relationship with Jesus. For the record, becoming a Christian is NOT a prerequisite for listening to Finchwood or for participating in the ongoing conversation that this podcast is a part of, but at the same time, personally knowing God is foundational to truly understanding everything we talk about after this point. If you don't know Jesus in that way yet, please listen to this episode and consider praying along with the loosely-guided prayer time near the end.
