How necessary is seminary for a pastor? And does it matter whether he's full-time or serving in a supporting role?

What does it mean to have faith? Is it a feeling? A level of sincerity? A spiritual intensity you can measure? Pastors Jim Butler and Cam Porter work through what the Bible and the 1689 Confession teach about saving faith - its object, its source, and the ways it gets distorted in ways that rob believers of assurance.

How to Start Reading the Bible — Where Does a Beginner Begin? Maybe someone handed you a Bible and you're not sure where to open it. Maybe you've been a Christian for years and still feel lost in the Old Testament. Or maybe you're sharing your faith with someone and they've asked you exactly this question — and you're not sure what to tell them. In this episode, Pastor Jim Butler and Pastor Cameron Porter give honest, practical guidance: what to read first if you don't believe yet, where to start if you're a new Christian, why prayerless Bible reading can actually do more harm than good, and why your phone habit might be the biggest obstacle between you and the Word of God.

What are the requirements for church membership? Is formal membership even biblical? In Ask FGBC #57, Pastor Jim Butler explains why the concept of church membership is necessary from Scripture, even though the word "membership" doesn't appear in the New Testament. He walks through five biblical reasons for formal membership, the specific prerequisites at Free Grace Baptist Church, and how the church's confession of faith and constitution protect both the church and prospective members. He also addresses whether young believers can become members.
