In The Room

On this episode, I’m talking with Jared Wilson. He’s the author of books like Gospel Wakefulness, The Wonder-Working God and The Pastor’s Justification. In our conversation we discuss the importance of pastoral presence when people are suffering, some of the most common problems pastors face, and whether or not it’s necessary to correct other pastors publicly via social media. You can follow Jared on Twitter (twitter.com/jaredcwilson) and pick one of his great books now (jaredcwilson.com/books/).

On this episode, I’m talking with Dr. Gregg Allison. He’s Professor of Christian Theology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. We’re discussing his new book “Roman Catholic Theology and Practice”. Most of you who listen to the podcast are Protestant, but with over 1.2 billion Catholics in the world, this is a topic we need to think clearly about. In our conversation we cover a brief history of the Catholic church, how the Catholic Church differs from the Protestant Evangelical Church and how we can best love and minister to those who are Catholic.

On this episode I’m talking with Justin Taylor. He’s the author of multiple books, a trusted blogger and the Senior Vice President of Crossway Books. In our conversation we discuss the benefits and liabilities of social media, mistakes that Justin has made as a blogger, and whether or not we really need "watchblogs". You can find Justin’s blog at thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/justintaylor and follow him on Twitter: @between2worlds (twitter.com/between2worlds).

In this episode I stopped by Harvest Bible Chapel to talk with Luke MacDonald and Andi Rozier of Vertical Church Band (verticalchurchband.com).
