Show notes

Dave Stovall joins the podcast to talk about his experience coming from CCM to becoming a local worship pastor. Alisa and Dave discuss their pet peeves with modern worship music, as well as their views on how to choose theologically sound songs for congregational singing. What does it mean to worship? Should worship songs prepare hearts for the sermon, or is there something more important going on when we sing? How should we approach the business side of worship music?

#313 Pastoring in an Age of Social Justice, with Darren Tyler(Pastors Series Pt. 5) Jun 15, 2025

Show notes

Darren Tyler pastors Conduit church in Franklin, Tn, which does amazing work all over the world to feed the hungry, clothe the poor, and meet the needs of widows and orphans. Pastor Darren does all of this work with the gospel at the center. In today's episode, we discuss the tendency of Christian charities to leave the gospel behind in favor of social justice work, and how that fails to meet the true needs of the people they are trying to help. He also lifts the lid off of typical humanitarian efforts that serve a hot meal with a side of secular ideology. Ultimately, we discuss how the gospel is the true answer to what the world needs.
