Optimistic but Concerned
Tim Dilena joins the Gary Wilkerson Podcast to discuss how God works through pastors and spiritual leaders to revive the church.
Church Culture
Blend In or Stand Out?
As Christians, we often struggle with the dilemma of cultural relevancy pitted against cultural ‘purity.’ How do we honor God while living in a society that definitively does not?
Individuality is viewed very differently in the Middle Eastern and Asian world than the West. The Eastern mentality is probably best summarized in an old adage that is ubiquitous throughout this part of the world: “The nail that sticks up gets hammered down.”
Be on the Right Side of History
Every generation has its own unique questions that the gospel can address if church leaders are sensitive to the spiritual needs of their people. In this session, Tim Dilena explores how the church can avoid getting caught in cultural movements and miss the chance to minister to people's real spiritual needs.
Spiritual Leadership
Church leaders in America are increasingly operating in a culture like what Daniel experienced in Babylon. They are facing pressure to succumb to social expectations and demands for entertainment. In this session, John Bailey discusses how believers and pastors in particular can find the strength to stand strong against the world.
The Clash of Generations in Church
Discussions swirl around how to unify Boomers, Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z in church, but is there an answer in sight, and how do we please everyone?
Pastor Matt Marcantonio described a poignant moment in his early church career, one that later defined his revolution in responding to the generation gap.
