When Christians gather to worship, whether in an established church building or in someone’s living room, the format of such worship can vary dramatically. Some venues can be very regimented, with strict adherence to a schedule. Others can be full of liturgy and other formal elements of worship. Still others can be very relaxed and unstructured. Some may even be chaotic free-for-alls. Is there specific way in which believers are to worship together? Let’s discuss this.
What is the difference between Evangelism and Discipleship? Are they the same thing? Are they steps towards a goal? Is one more important than the other? Do they accomplish the same results? Must we pick one over the other as we attempt to fulfill the Great Commission? Tom and Gavin discuss these important questions.

It has been over a month since the recent presidential election in America. Not only is the country divided over the outcome, but the Church in America is also divided politically. While there is some justification over this division given the the choices we had, there seems to be a whole lot of name calling, anger, and resentment among Christians during this entire election cycle. Is this division harmful? Is there a way to disagree politically within the body of Christ? Tom and Gavin share their thoughts on this.
