Episode 34 - Offices of the Church - Part 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
n this episode of A Deeper Dive , we continue our series on the Offices of the Church by examining the qualifications for pastors and deacons in 1 Timothy 3. We discuss what it means to be “above reproach,” the difficult questions surrounding divorce and the “husband of one wife,” managing one's household, whether 1 Timothy 3 allows for female deacons, and why giftedness can never substitute for godly character. Ultimately, these qualifications aren't merely a checklist for church leaders—they r
Episode 33 - Offices of the Church - Part 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of A Deeper Dive , we begin our three-part series on the Offices of the Church by asking a foundational question: what exactly is a pastor? We explore why the New Testament uses the terms pastor, elder, and overseer for the same office, why churches benefit from a plurality of pastors, and what it means for pastors to shepherd, teach, protect, and lead God’s people.

We explore Rebekah’s continued maneuvering, Esau’s desperate attempt to regain favor, the meaning of Jacob’s ladder, the surprising connections between Bethel and Babel, and whether Jacob’s famous vow actually demonstrates mature faith. Along the way, we consider what Jacob’s story teaches us about God’s unseen activity, trus
Episode 30 - Is He Not Rightly Named Jacob? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of A Deeper Dive , we unpack the deception, favoritism, and family conflict of Genesis 27. We discuss why Isaac’s blessing could not simply be taken back, whether Rebekah was attempting to fulfill God’s prophecy in her own way, Esau’s agonizing response, and how Jacob’s blessing ultimately points toward the coming King. Through this deeply flawed family, we also wrestle with a larger question: how can God sovereignly accomplish His purposes through human sin without causing or ap
