The Heritage Church Podcast

Welcome to a new series we are hosting called Ask Anything! Join pastors Jason Fisher and Blake Williams from Heritage Church as they tackle real questions from their congregation about navigating faith in community. In this episode, they dive into five thought-provoking questions about discipleship, doubt, and relationships:• How should we engage with believers who question the Bible's consistency?• How do you disciple someone who questions that Jesus is the only way?• How can we lovingly engage people who have fallen deeply into sin?• What's the balance between pointing out lifestyle sins and giving space for growth?• When convictions differ from loved ones, how do you maintain relationship?Jason and Blake explore how to walk alongside others in faith—whether they're wrestling with doubts, living in sin, or holding different convictions. They emphasize the importance of understanding before correcting, letting the Holy Spirit do His work, and maintaining "soft hearts with steel spines".This conversation is for anyone seeking to love well, disciple faithfully, and navigate the messy, beautiful reality of life in Christian community.
