The best podcasts for spiritual and religious growth and exploration

Hello, and welcome to Sword of the Spirit podcast! While attending a church camp in northern California, we (Kory and Walter) spontaneously broke out our Bibles and began to read the book of James out loud. After reading each section of the first two chapters, we stopped for discussion. This was incredibly edifying to us, but we did not want to keep it to ourselves! Thus, we decided we would do a series of podcasts in which we read the Word, expound the text, and chat about the life of faith. Our hope is that these podcasts will encourage and challenge our listeners to deepen their studies of Scripture, dialogue with others about Christ, and develop a greater love for and devotion to our Lord.

More and more we are hearing about pastors and ministry leaders that feel like they just don’t fit the mold of what American Church culture expects them to be, expects them to look like, preach like, and even think like. We wanted to make a podcast for ministers dealing with the current social and cultural issues here in the US and the Church. We will look at these things through CSRM’s 3 tier paradigm of Theological Truths, Philosophical Principles, and Methodological Models. Hopefully, to help us all regain perspective and regain some sanity. Support this podcast: www.patreon.com/ministrymisfits
