A Conversation with Jamie Ivey Jun 19, 2019

Show notes

My guest on this episode of Signposts is Jamie Ivey. Jamie is an author, a sought-after speaker, and perhaps she is best known as a podcaster. Jamie is the creator and host of The Happy Hour podcast, which is a fantastic podcast for women that my wife, Maria, absolutely loves. In addition to all of this, Jamie is a wife and mom. Her husband, Aaron, is a worship leader at The Austin Stone Church, in Austin, Texas. And Jamie and Aaron are parents of four children, including three by adoption.

In this episode, Jamie and I had a great conversation about adoption, life in ministry, parenting, and many other things. If you’re not familiar with Jamie, I encourage you to visit her website: jamieivey.com.

A Conversation with David Brooks Jun 05, 2019

In this first episode of the new season of Signposts, I am joined by David Brooks, who, among countless other things, is an Op-Ed columnist at the New York Times. An incisive thinker and cultural observer, David is someone I have respected and admired for a long time now, and I was thrilled that he could join me for this conversation.

In this episode, we begin our discussion by talking about his latest book, The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life, which I would certainly encourage you to read. (Bonus: You can check out the video version of this episode on YouTube.)

What should pastors do if a Christian is afraid of baptism? Nov 16, 2018

Is immersion the only form for baptism? What is signified in baptism?

On 25 Years of Albert Mohler at Southern Seminary Nov 02, 2018

Show notes

This year marks the 25th anniversary of R. Albert Mohler Jr.’s service as president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. For many decades, Dr. Mohler has been an influential figure in my life. Through his visionary leadership, he has shaped the course of the Southern Baptist Convention and, more broadly, evangelicalism. I have served with Dr. Mohler as a research assistant, faculty member, Dean, and Provost. In each of these roles, I have witnessed, first-hand, his heart for the church and passion for God’s Word.

In this episode of Signposts, I reflect on Dr. Mohler’s influence, life, and leadership, which the Lord has used in so many ways–not least of which is the successful equipping of generations of pastors, scholars, missionaries, and ministry leaders to contend for the faith once for all delivered to the saints as they confront the greatest challenges of our times.

I invite you to listen, and be sure to subscribe to receive future episodes of Signposts.

What should Christians do about our differences on spiritual gifts? Oct 19, 2018

Show notes

Are the gifts still active today? Can members within a local church disagree on this issue?

I receive questions all the time about spiritual gifts in the church. This is an important topic because the gifts were given to edify and build up the church, but often they become a source of contention and division.

In this episode of Signposts, I offer my perspective on the gifts and discuss ways that Christians might think about these issues, especially as they partner together in ministry.

In this episode of Signposts, I sit down with one of the leading social psychologists in the United States, Jonathan Haidt. Professor Haidt is an acclaimed author and thought leader. His book, The Righteous Mind, was a New York Times bestseller that explored the foundations of morality. And his recently released work, The Coddling of the American Mind, which explores concerning trends emerging on America’s college campuses, has also appeared on the bestsellers list for consecutive weeks since its release. On this episode, we enjoyed a wide-ranging conversation that I’m sure you will enjoy.
