Does Christian Brotherhood Still Matter? | Richard Matteson & Garry Ingraham

Oftentimes in Scripture we are exhorted about the importance of Christian community — how "iron sharpens iron," or to "carry each other's burdens." But in our modern society, fellowship is more surface level (if it exists at all) and this lack of authentic connection has taken a severe toll on the mental and emotional health of Christians. Join host Garry Ingraham and special guest Richard Matteson as they discuss this, as well as the tremendous effects it is having on all believers, but particularly on young men.

Gossip is an Abomination | Garry Ingraham

There are few sins in God’s church that are as pernicious as the sin of gossip. It has affected or ruined the trust of people who are vulnerable, hurting, and desperately needing to go to the church community for help, yet feel they cannot trust that their confidence will be honored and kept confidential. Not to mention, God Himself despises the sin of gossip. In this episode, Garry Ingraham discusses this sin but also how churches can transform themselves into safe environments for hurting people to be able to come forward and get the help and hope that they need.
