S2E2 - Neighbors Matter

How do I gain eternal life? Jesus's answer to this question in Luke 10 is the origin of the story of The Good Samaritan. Nowadays the term Good Samaritan is commonly used to describe someone who helps those in need. 
Barron and David look at this well known parable from a different angle. They discuss the question "who is my neighbor?" and dig into why neighbors matter.

Do you love TED talks? Have you ever wanted a front row seat to learn from a world-class educator? It's here in this episode. 
Rayna Longstreth talks to Dr. Janice Sjöstrand about strategies to defend our homes from the outside world. The home should be more than a place you eat and sleep between times when you're at work and church. It is meant to be a place of peace and safety.
Dr. Sjöstrand offers incredible insights on how to set boundaries and what to do when they are challenged. This episode is a masterclass from a dynamic and transparent teacher.

Red Session - Giant Killers

No matter where you are in your walk with God or what leadership position you hold, this episode will challenge, inspire, and equip you to be better. Barron and Mark Morgan begin the journey to identify your role in the spiritual warfare battle. Are you still fighting in the trenches when you should be directing the assault? David started the tradition of giant killing, but he saw his position change from fighter to commander as he moved through life. One of David’s lessons from fighting the lions and bears was that you don’t just knock something down; you must end the threat. Bishop Mark Morgan has been singularly focused on teaching Apostolic truths. In this episode, he distills 40+ years of experience into a simple method to be an effective preacher. As a non-preaching person, I can tell you this is still a powerful method to hear and confirm the word God has spoken to you. This episode will equip you not just to knock a thing down but to end it.

S1E10 - Hey You Matter Part 2

The discussion of the personality continues as Barron talks with Josh Krebs not about the origin but rather the impact of the day-to-day living of concept on his life. Josh is now the pastor of one of The Church Today’s campuses, but his story didn’t start there. Like all great stories, Josh was in a place he didn’t want to be looking for that thing that could change his life. What he came across was excellence lived daily. A person who dared to be different and show Josh through the highs and the lows that he mattered. This episode is a powerful, practical example of a personality in action.

S1E8 - Where Are Your Trash Cans?

Have you ever had someone point something out, like a sound, smell, or sight, that you hadn’t noticed before, but once they did, it was so glaringly obvious you aren’t sure how you missed it?
In this episode Barron and Rayna discuss one such discovery…about trash cans. It was a revelation about a small thing but it had an outsized impact on their organizational culture. Barron explains their systematic evaluation process, and how you can use it to find your trash cans.
The story revolves around place to put garbage, but the message focuses on how to find that ONE thing you need. The thing that, once found, ends up being a key element you didn’t even know was missing. 
If you want to keep missing the obvious, skip this episode; otherwise, buckle up for an insightful time with Barron and Rayna.
