Episode 237: Recovering the Role of the Deacon

On today’s show, we’re looking at one of the most common and yet misunderstood roles in the local church: the office of the deacon. While some see it as a stepping stone to greater leadership, others have turned it into a position of power. But when we return to the early church in Acts 6, what we find is a calling rooted in servanthood, urgency, and need. The Bible paints a clear and compelling picture: deacons were appointed to serve—literally to wait tables—not to lead spiritual governance, but to protect it. Their ministry enabled pastors and elders to focus on prayer and the Word by meeting practical, often overlooked needs in the body. To help us unpack this biblical office and its implications for the church today, we’re joined by Pastor Mitch Dobson, Biblical Studies instructor at LFBI welcome to the Postscript.

Episode 236: Hold Fast: Fighting to the Finish

On today’s show, we’re looking at the spiritual fight that every believer—and especially every leader—must face. Ministry is a battlefield, and Scripture reminds us that not all who begin well finish well. From Eleazar in David’s army to King Asa on the throne of Judah, the Bible gives us both inspiring and cautionary tales of men in combat—some who held fast to the sword and others who laid it down too soon.

What makes a good soldier in the fight of faith? What does it mean to hold fast to the Word of God even when you’re weary? And how do we make sure we finish our course, not just start it?

To help us answer these questions, we’re joined by Pastor Tony Godfrey of Harvest Baptist Church in Iola, Kansas—Tony is a discipler, Bible teacher, and no stranger to the battle of ministry. Tony, welcome to the Postscript.

Episode 208: Facing Fears & Taking Risks in Ministry

Many Bible students believe that Timothy was only 16 years old when he left home to follow the Apostle Paul in the work of church planting. It's hard to believe that someone so young would commit to something so big. What kind of mindset would be required for such a young man to make such an important decision? Can you imagine the fears that he and his parents had to overcome to get to that place? What did Timothy have to risk in order to see God use him in such a mighty way? We have become risk averse in the evangelical church today.


We fear what we can't see, and we are prone to dreaming small. We prefer comfort to victory. Many of us are stagnant in our ministry because we fear saying yes to the call of God on our lives. But what makes us risk averse? How is it that we've gotten to this place? How do we as individuals, and churches, overcome tiny thinking and instead come to a place of true sacrifice and service? On today's show, Provost of The Living Faith Bible Institute Brandon Briscoe has invited Jonathan Kindler, faculty professor of Biblical Counseling & Spiritual Formation at LFBI, to discuss what it means to overcome fear in our ministry.

Episode 182: The Call to Pastor & Awakening to Spiritual Warfare

Pastor Lee Ridings of Greater Hope Baptist Church in Dallas, GA joins us to share how God prepared him for the pastorate. He tells personal stories of defining battles and corresponding victories which proved God's faithfulness and sharpened his character. These make-or-break trials and seasons in Lee's life became invaluable, ultimately proving his calling. Lee encourages young ministers who are desirous to lead in a pastoral capacity, that it is a good work (I Timothy 3:1) when done in dependance on the Lord for Christ's glory alone. We end this episode with a charge in II Timothy 2:5-7 to remind church leaders to choose faith over fear, and to operate in the very love, power and sound mind promised to us in Christ.

Episode 154: The Trellis, The Vine & Building Structure in Ministry

We sit down with Pastor Mitch Dobson, Professor of Bible Survey at Living Faith Bible Institute to discuss biblical principled efficiency in ministry in the areas of authority structures and healthy flow of communication. Mitch begins with his testimony, background in compliance within the realm of business and his current role on the pastoral team at Midtown Baptist Temple. In this episode we define the spiritual gift of "governments" (1 Cor. 12:28) and examine ways of identifying people within a body who function supernaturally in this way. Lastly, we examine the difference between principle and policy, how they differ and how they are important considerations for the local church as well as its individual ministries.
