But here are 10 great ones (in no particular order) by some of the country’s most well-known pastors. There are a lot of excellent Christian podcasts out there, and we can’t possibly cover them all.
Shouldn’t every day be that way? If you’re in your car or on the move all week, podcasts can be a great way to sneak in a midweek sermon that helps you circle back to Jesus. They’re an opportunity to pause everything else so you can worship God and grow in relationship with Him. They’re like a glass of cold water under a shade tree on a hot summer day. (You can see the entire thing here.) He went on to say that “Christianity does not exist because of the Bible.If you attend church on Sundays, you know how those mornings can feel.
He also discouraged a “version of a Christianity” that is “a house of cards” that falls apart if we find out that certain possible historic or scientific details of the Bible are inaccurate or that there are apparent contradictions. The problem with that is, ‘If the Bible is the foundation of our faith, as the Bible goes, so goes our faith’ … Christianity can not survive if somehow, every single part of the Bible isn’t absolutely true if the Bible is the foundation of our faith.Įssentially, Stanley’s sermon makes the case that too many Christians put the Bible on the same level as God. In other words, ‘I can believe Jesus loves me because it’s in the Bible.’ I grew up in a church where basically, the by-line, the subtitle for everything was, ‘If the Bible says it, that settles it.’ And so we send kids off college with a ‘If the Bible says it, that settles it’ and all the sudden they realize, ‘Oh my goodness, that didn’t settle it.’
