Passivity in men doesn’t just affect men individually — it shapes families, churches, and entire communities. In this episode, the guys talk about the danger of passive men, why biblical discipleship for men matters, and the vision behind Northwest Gospel Church’s first-ever Gospel Men Retreat. They discuss leadership, brotherhood, spiritual growth, and why men were never meant to follow Jesus alone. Whether you’re deeply connected in church community or feeling spiritually isolated, this conversation is a challenge for men to step up, pursue Christ, and help lead others toward Him.

Should churches have kids ministry on Sundays, or should children remain in the worship gathering with their parents?

Ben and Tyler discuss the biblical arguments for and against children's ministry, the importance of family worship, how churches can support parents without replacing them, and why this doesn't have to be an either/or conversation.

In this episode of the To Be The Church Podcast, Andrew, Ben, and Tyler discuss Roman Catholicism, salvation, and whether someone can genuinely know and follow Jesus while attending the Catholic Church. They also unpack why many younger Christians are gravitating toward liturgical traditions like Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, and what that reveals about the current state of modern evangelical churches.

How should Christians respond when they think a preacher said something wrong? In this episode, the guys talk through theological triage, the difference between major doctrinal issues and minor disagreements, and how to approach pastors and church leaders with humility, wisdom, and discernment. They also discuss the difference between the terms “ordinance” and “sacrament” when it comes to baptism and communion, and why different church traditions use different language for these practices.

What does it actually look like for pastors to shepherd people in a large church? In this episode, the guys respond to a listener question about church membership, shepherding elders, accountability, and the tension between the ideal of biblical community and the reality of busy modern life.

They discuss how elder shepherding practically works at Northwest Gospel Church, why formal membership matters, the challenges of caring for growing congregations, and whether members also have a responsibility to pursue connection with their pastors. The conversation covers “span of care,” proactive communication, prayer, church structure, and the messy but worthwhile work of meaningful church community.

In this episode, we unpack the purpose behind our annual Gospel Church series and why we take time each year to focus on what the church is and what it does.

We walk through three core topics—baptism, church membership, and communion—and explain why these aren’t just traditions, but essential practices rooted in Scripture. We also talk about what we hope our church gains from this series and what next steps look like for those who are listening.
