I thought this was the Gospel reading for the SECOND Sunday of Advent.

Thank you so very for this interview. This is what the Lord has been teaching me for years.

Brandan is such an annoying little dick

A tax free organization bad mouthing young people who may want to find their way through Jesus but can’t afford a membership or a tithe is literally the opposite of what Jesus Christ stood for. This is crazy

Greater proportion of women?

Look for the Spark of the Divine! Oh Terry thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm so grateful to know you!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Christians are polytheists

You shall reap what you sew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How does Hebrew 10:25 play into your thinking? How do you get around that? Can you get around it?

I am dismayed at the decline in attendance in mainline churches. Dr. Burge and his colleagues are doing important work to quantify and explain the changes in the US. The political reality of the dissolution of the barrier between church and state is detrimental to the institution of church. It seems that people are so turned off by the reports they see in the news about "the church" that they choose not to attend any church. We must not give up. Excellent discussion between two well-informed people who are skilled communicators.

The discussion of the decline of institutional churches was very thoughtful and thought-provoking.

Step one is to listen to God in scripture. I suggest also listening to His call. We continue to be called to serve in various ways.

I am someone who came from a Charismaniac background and I see the Charismatics making the same mistakes the Methodists started making decades ago. The rejection of Sola Scriptura is the beginning of all sorts of evil and madness. A lot of you want to keep the good, but get rid of the bad. But I want to tell you, the reason there is all of that bad is because your Theology starts in a bad place, and it will always end in a bad place. You owe it to God, yourself and your family (if you have one) to leave Methodism behind for sound Doctrine. I am so very blessed and thankful to have found a LCMS church nearby to take my family. I would recommend the LCMS. But if there isn't one near you, I would highly recommend studying Reformed Theology. RC Sproul and Jeff Durbin are a good place to start, find a solid church that actually falls within the realm of Apostolic Teaching.

They need to stick to the original doctrine of holy scripture, lest the Lord Almighty break out amongst you in a holy zeal.

Church attendance has been declining for decades. For decades, churches have moved progressively left and liberal on moral and social issues. Do you think there could possibly be some correlation between the two?

Theresa Thames 🎉🎉🎉

UMC is not loving their flock by leading them astray and allowing them to live in sin and accepting it.

I loved "Getting treasures and hearts, in the same room, in the same conversations!"

I love this!

Community is defined by the group who chooses to come together

Thank you for the conversation.

Wisdom ❤

Thank you for an excellent analysis of this heartbreaking dilemma. I can only think of John Wesley's advice that we don't have to think alike, but we can all love alike. "Think and let think." Please God, may we remember this advice and stop this insanity!

AMEN!!!! It would be great if we could hear a full length interview where you could expound upon these three points and add whatever else you might have been holding back. Thank you for this. I'll listen again and take notes this time.

Thank you for sharing this devotional and ministering to the Pastors today -- I think we need it!!

I love Brandan's messages on TikTok! I hadn't realized 'til recently how many progressive pastors are doing stuff on Tik Tok and love it!

I am blessed! God gave me HIs vision for me 10 years ago and has slowly been giving me the jigsaw pieces to make up the picture of His plan for me. I am part of the embryonic AMiE Anglican church in France. I fully believe in the small groups John Wesley used but now I see Micro Churches as the way forward here in France. Making Disciples and sharing the Kingdom is difficult when the Expat community is so spread out here. The micro church is the model that will work so well here. Amen, Thank you for helping to answer prayers. Chris x

Sidney, Thanks for the inspiring, encouraging, prophetic words...

She asks great questions and Elaine is terrific.

We're going to use this video as part of our kick-off stewardship campaign. Great words!

Ms. White is a n excellent communicator who speaks words of wisdom. There is depth and honesty in her analysis. On the other hand, I would assert that the best of friends serve these functions without necessarily satisfying White's definition of "holy friendships." A good friends can hold you accountable and be a reliable confidant even without a mutual agreement on holiness.

Excellent! I couldn’t agree more!

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.

Awesome Interview 💯🔥

The so-called "United Methodist Church" problem is the current reason young people refuse to enter a church once they leave the family nest! It is a shame that most churches are totally bible-focused when Jesus was not! He was people-focused! It is a shame that Christian Church was not "color-blind" at a time when slavery was almost a church-sponsored enterprise. Even the Klu Klux Klan burned "crosses" to show their identity and to spread fear! Would racial discrimination have happened if the Christian Churches followed Jesus and His mission to the world! No!!! When church membership is focused upon liturgy, the bible, and not love, charity, and acceptance, Jesus is not happy with the religions that purport to teach "the ways of Jesus!" To eliminate women pastors is totally unchristian and for a whole denomination to rebel about this shows the futility of religion in the 21st century!

It isn't diversity that can't be "tolerated"...it is the corruption and degeneracy that has entered and controlled the church.

What’s Love Got To Do With It? In Revelation 3:15 Jesus says to the last of the 7 Churches: “I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! But because you are lukewarm and neither hot or cold. I will vomit you out of my mouth.” Why would a Christian Hierarchy fail to heed such a dire warning and compromise what the Bible has to say about the sexually immoral? Probably because nearly 50% of their members agree with the LGBTQ+ agenda? And that is likely because they haven’t been able to honor God’s design for sex themselves. Considering how Jesus felt about hypocrisy, such a attitude is understandable. But there’s a difference between this sin today and what it was in previous generations. And the difference is monumental. People have become proud of it. Celebrating it with it’s own flag and putting it on parade for an entire month. Pride itself is a sin but being proud of immorality is surely the essence of depravity. There were ample warning’s about the circumstances likely to follow the legalization of gay marriage. But, as usual, prophets are largely ignored. Consequences most disturbing have come into play: Transgenders in school rooms, corrupting childhood innocence. This perversion comes straight out of the pit of Hell and it isn’t lukewarm, it is cold blooded evil. Back in the 50’s and 60’s, when sex was coined as “making love”, my generation bought it and sought it. The chant of “make love…not war” made great sense. Sex was undeniably preferable to fighting for a cause we didn’t understand. It was an easy sell for Satan; a little truth to deceive us in a deeper circumstance. He’s using the same ploy now with “Who are you, to say whom someone should love?” What’s love got to do with it? In today’s world, precious little. Yet, today’s modern generation equates sex with love. How naïveté - the act has digressed into an activity of vanity. It’s more of a what’s in it for me conquest. We are inundated with lust. Lust for pleasure, lust for power, lust for money or whatever serves our vain natures. A wise man once said: “Lust is the counterfeit of love.” Dismal is the church that preaches appeasement over repentance on this issue. Such a doctrine has nothing in common with the Gospel and it makes a sham of the cross. Is your church lukewarm on this matter of faith…are you? Do not dread the price of obedience to Jesus Christ - His dividend’s extend beyond eternity.

Excellent, very informative. Thank you.

I like the even-handedness of the video presentation, but from the comments below I think I will just avoid joining any church.

People make this out to be all about homosexuality when at its core is an extremely large rift between scriptural orthodoxy and utter pandemonium you see in the UMC right now.
