This is the fourth of a four-part series that Rev. Dr. Pete Bellini and I agreed to do. It is aimed at equipping individuals and churches to do discipleship better in the local church. Christianity requires intentional discipleship, but that is easier said than done. Thus far, we have worked to establish listeners and participants to better understand our undergirding beliefs about the nature and call of holiness, about the context of the local church, and about the yearning all believers should have for Christlikeness.
Today's segment will be concerned with the nuts and bolts of daily discipleship for all believers. We are all aware on some level that the faith of Jesus Christ requires a changed way of life. Yet that language is quite broad and vague. Given that we cannot subjectively determine these things, we need to approach this subject objectively. Take the time to join us, and engage us with questions as we go along. We want to make sure this speaks to people practically and directly. Help us do that!
I don't know why the live stream didn't work today. Here is what I did:
Reviewing Judicial Docket at the end.
Apparently Locals isn't processing my live streams this month. I'm not sure what the issue is. A supporter asked about this particular episode, so I uploaded it here for him (and anyone else who wants to go back).
Debra Baty is the head of Resources 4 Redemption, which is an effort aimed at spreading good information about sexual orientation and gender identity. She recently published an article about “sexual fluidity” and how it impacts our sanctification in Firebrand Magazine. It is a good piece, and Debra does worthy work. All believers in the West have to contend with the artificial ideas of the sexual revolution. There is nowhere we can go that these issues do not impact us. The only way out is through.
Debra has a personal story that is quite compelling. She is a trustworthy, thoughtful, and conscientious resource. All covenant Christian bodies need to know where they stand on these things, lest the evil one sow confusion. Now is the time to reflect upon these things. Days are coming when what we believe will be put to the test. If we have not prepared, then we cannot expect to prevail.

Hey I need to just cancel the rest of the week of PlainSpoken programming. Mama and baby are in decent health, but attention is needed at home.
