Why should I read fiction? Fiction takes us on a journey of imagination that would not be possible in reality. Jesus understood the value of fiction and made up stories in his parables to illustrate some of the most important lessons that we have from him. Join Barron, Rustin, and Dave as they discuss some of their favorite fiction books.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
