Curse Your Branches Jan 27, 2010

Show notes

The panel takes a critical look at David Bazan’s album Curse Your Branches. Bazan is perhaps most noted for founding the indie band Pedro the Lion, a group that gained considerable attention in the Christian indie music community. Known for his introspective and emotionally-charged lyrics, Bazan received attention from a broader group with his latest album Curse Your Branches that among other things, details his rejection of evangelical Christianity.

Pastoral Ministry: Learning or Doing? Jan 15, 2010

Show notes

Is pastoral ministry about the pastor studying and learning in order to better teach his congregation or is the ministry primarily about doing, that is, caring for the sheep in very practical, tangible ways? Christ the Center tackles what we see as a false dichotomy as the panel talks about how the pastor’s study affects the practical aspects of ministry.
