Would you find your destiny wielding ancient primordial forces or take up the mantle as a crime fighting human with some type of augmented ability. This one gets a little wild and is a whole lot of fun. You might even see a side of Barron and Rayna you didn't know existed.

Intellect versus physical prowess is a question that will elicit strong opinions. This was certainly the case when I posed the question. There are a few things I wish I had asked as follow-up questions to see if they made a difference in the choices made. For example, what if it was all or nothing. If you are the athlete, you’re also dumb as a rock; if you’re the smartest person, you’re wheelchair-bound and helpless. Just some things to think about as you listen.

Faces of Culture is a series examining a church's various positions that help shape its unique and creative identity. Senior Pastor Justin Anthony joins Barron to discuss the senior pastor's impact on the church's culture. Pastor Anthony's answer to the question, "What is your biggest challenge as a senior pastor?" was surprising and thought-provoking. While this episode focuses on the role of the senior pastor, it is an invaluable resource for any leader in the church.

Cultivating Excellence: A Journey to Authentic Apostolic Impact.
This world needs an authentic Apostolic experience that will create a meaningful impact in their lives. Whether you are a pastor, church leader, or congregant, you owe those in your sphere of influence a chance to have a genuine encounter with Jesus Christ. This podcast is not focused on giving spiritual inspiration or divine revelation. However, God can use this content to produce those things.
Instead, we are looking to give you the tools to establish or refine your organization’s culture of excellence. Is your congregation a revolving door of first-time friends? We want to provide you with the tools to evaluate your processes and systems. Would you like to get more people involved? This podcast will discuss the techniques of how to effectively build a team. You preach the great sermon or teach the best lesson, but it won’t help anyone if they never heard it. Here at The Bottom Half is Red, we want to partner with you to help you reach your world for Jesus.
