Pastor to Pastor: Reach out beyond the walls
Description
What does authentic spiritual leadership look like when the culture around you is changing—are you equipping your church to disciple and impact the public square, or just surviving the spiritual battle? Discover your next move as a pastor in today’s episode.
Pastor Brian Noble opens the program by emphasizing the importance of pastors equipping themselves and their congregations to engage the public square with biblical values. Drawing from Matthew 28, Noble discusses the spiritual mission to “go and make disciples of all nations,” stressing that pastors hold a dual responsibility: not only training their churches for good works, but personally leading outreach efforts within their communities. He confronts challenges facing congregations—including injustice, discrimination, and rising secular ideologies—and urges practical action rooted in Christ’s authority.
Noble highlights FPIW’s outreach resources, including a strategic calendar designed for individual, group, and church-wide initiatives to impact the public square, and encourages praying for elected officials at every level. He invites pastors to engage further via FPIW.org and the Defender app, which connects conservative Christians and mobilizes them to defend family values through action and awareness. The episode concludes with a prayer for wisdom and effectiveness in discipleship, as well as a call to invest in local outreach and biblical engagement.
