S3 E38 - Bruce Bailey - Worship Is a Territorial Act of War (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Season three closes with the McNeills back home in East Texas at Pine Hill Baptist Church, where Pastor Bruce Bailey has just led his congregation through its 175th anniversary. Bruce and Chris spend the first half of the conversation tracing the church's history — a settlement, a revival meeting, and nearly two centuries of continuity — before Bruce shares the covenant renewal prayer he wrote and asked his congregation to commit to together. From there the conversation turns into one of the mos
S3 E37 - Scott Johnston - Peace Before the Answer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pastor Scott Johnston has pastored New Life Baptist Church in Wabash, Indiana, for seventeen years, after stops in Michigan, a hard-fought church plant in Kentucky, and nine years back home in Texas. But this conversation centers on August 2020, when a routine doctor's visit for his 20-year-old daughter turned into news no parent is prepared for. Scott is remarkably honest about what came next — including a prayer he prayed more than once that most pastors wouldn't admit to out loud. What follow
S3 E36 - Ross O'Dell p2 - One Bride, Not a Mistress on the Side (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Part two picks up right where last week left off. Pastor Ross O'Dell finally answers the question Chris has been sitting on for two episodes: does the church replace Israel? Ross's answer runs through the grafting-into-the-vine image, a full walk through the biblical covenants from Adam and Eve to the new covenant in Christ, and a picture of Scripture's whole arc that's less about theological hairsplitting and more about the character of God. From there the conversation turns personal — Ross tal
E3 S35 - Ross O'Dell - Blessed Is the One Who Reads (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pastor Ross O'Dell returns to Ministry on the Move for round two, two years after his first appearance, and this time the conversation goes straight into the deep end. Ross is gearing up to preach through the book of Revelation starting in September — a series he expects to take two to three years — and he and Chris spend this episode wrestling with how to approach a book most Christians either fear or oversimplify. Along the way: a linguistic detail buried in Revelation chapter 1 that quietly r
S3 E34 - Jim Pearl p2. Comfortable With Mystery: Communion, Infant Baptism, and a Christianity Not Made in Our Image (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Part 2 picks up on a shared conviction: that the version of Christianity worth chasing isn't one made in our own image — comfortable parts kept, hard parts quietly edited out. From there, the conversation goes places this podcast doesn't often go — into what's actually happening at communion, why Lutherans baptize infants, and why being at peace with mystery might be a mark of mature faith rather than a lack of answers. Chris shares a personal story about his grandmother's funeral that ties it a
