Biblical Guidelines, Pastoral Directives, and Personal Convictions (aka Holiness Standards)

09/09/17 • 73 min

In this episode, the hosts discuss Biblical and pastoral directives for holy living and personal convictions. These are commonly referred to as "holiness standards" and vary widely from church to church, among different organizations, and in different cultures and geographical areas.
Please note that neither Bryce, nor Jaredith claim to be a spiritual authority for any listener. Listeners should heed the voice of their pastor on these issues.
The main purpose of this episode is to clarify the difference between what is Biblical, what is simply the guidance of a pastor, and what is strictly personal. Biblical directives are for everyone, pastoral directives are for a particular pastor's flock, and personal convictions are solely for the individual and should not be pushed onto anyone else.
Specific examples that are discussed include, facial hair, tattoos, television, shorts on men, and skirts/dresses vs. pants on women.

This segment covers the Christian response to the discussion of racism, the value of empathy, and the Biblical principles that should dictate our words and actions.
We should love our neighbor AND our enemy! If we cannot love others, we will not be able to share heaven with them. We need to not only love others, but we need to start acting like it! Empathy and compassion is what love in action really looks like.

Why Are Millennials Leaving the Church?

In Episode 5, Jaredith and Bryce discuss the mass exodus of millennials from the church. They try to understand the driving force behind this phenomena and pinpoint exactly what millennials want from the church.
More than any previous generation, millennials value honesty and authenticity, especially from leaders. This authenticity is not found in churches that are trying hard to be relevant at the expense of honesty.
Don't forget to check out the links to Jaredith's and Bryce's blogs on the menu at www.2pentecostals.com.
Note from Jaredith: We are excited to announce that the next two episodes will be interviews with the hosts. In Episode 6, Bryce will interview me and in Episode 7, we will switch seats and I will interview him. We want to tell our stories of conversion, struggles, calling to ministry, and generally let our audience get to know who we are and what we are about.
Thanks for listening!
