Season 5 Episode 9: "Church Hurt with Pastor Jerome Gay Jr."

Southside Tribe!! In this episode, we explore the biblical perspective on vengeance and the dangers of taking matters into our own hands. In light of the recent murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO and the school shooting in Madison, Wisconsin, we ask the question: What does the Bible say about vengeance, and how can we guard our own hearts from crossing that line? Often, it’s corruption and injustice that ignite the spark of vengeance in our hearts, but the line between a healthy desire for justice and the pull toward personal retribution is thinner than we may realize. Join us as we challenge ourselves to trust God’s sovereignty, reflect on the spiritual discipline of leaving justice in God’s hands, even in the face of deep pain and wrongdoing.

Southside Tribe! In this intriguing convo, we touch on wisdom, sin, and staying anchored in faith, pointing out that knowledge and wisdom alone aren’t enough to overcome our flaws—it takes God’s power to truly transform us. We examine how worldly cares, although not inherently sinful, can pull us away from what really matters, and obscure our ultimate priority, which is our faith in Jesus. We also share about the importance of fellowship, accountability, and staying rooted in spiritual disciplines, remembering that spiritual maturity means rejoicing in God’s work across all communities and platforms.

Southside Tribe! In this episode, joined by our good friend Pastor Ebenezer of the Shaping The Culture Podcast, we talk about the freedom that comes from acknowledging our brokenness and the messy realities of life, both as believers and as leaders. In a culture that often demands perfection, vulnerability can feel like a risk too big to take. But true ministry and growth happens in the trenches of life, where we can be fully known and fully loved—a reality far greater than merely being impressive. We discuss leaning on Jesus for our righteousness, and building authentic community, by stepping away from the facade of perfection, and creating safe spaces that allow God’s strength to shine through our weakness and create deeper, more meaningful connections with others. Join us for a powerful conversation about the risks and rewards of vulnerability in faith and leadership. Full episode on all audio platforms, video and bonus content on our Patreon community!!

Southside Tribe! In this fascinating episode, we dive into the recent congressional hearings, Pentagon and FBI press releases about UAPs and UFOs, exploring what these developments could mean for people of faith. As we consider the vastness of the universe and the possibility of intelligent life beyond Earth, we’re reminded of the biblical account of creation—set within the context of galaxies and cosmic grandeur. Instead of shaking our faith, such discoveries should expand our awe of God’s power and the magnitude of all He has created. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on how faith in Jesus stands firm, even in the face of the unknown, and why a bigger universe points us to an even greater Creator. Beam on up!
