Pastor Walt continues Thinking Out Loud on Urban Ministry. In this episode, Pastor Walt delves deep into the Biblical accounts of cities … how they were developed, who developed them, and why they developed them. Cities started being developed in Genesis. Babel was a city that built a tower and Satan was the developer. Satan wanted to be on the throne of the city, to sit on the top of the tower. The real power of the culture is in the cities. Cities control the region with their pollical power, economic power, and power over the media. Listen in as Pastor Walt takes us to a deeper understanding of the issues the church doesn’t look at when it comes to Urban Ministry.

Knowing this changes our response to attacks, turmoil, and hardship. The church is waking up to the reality of spiritual warfare.

Pastor Walt explains that the core, the center of the city is the metropolitan area, the urban area. Urban areas have commerce, city government, and a diverse, multi-cultural population living in close proximity. In an urban area, things change rapidly with constant change, and the church is always adapting and adjusting. Does the church stay or go? An urban center ministry is vital to the church. How does the church deal with issues directly affecting the urban ministry, such as, multi-culturalism, space restrictions, poverty, homelessness, mental illness, drug addiction, density, policing, politics, and city regulations? Listen in as Pastor Walt gives guidance on how to deal with the issues directly affecting the Urban Ministry.

Transformation is the end result of what happens to those who come to Christ. Many people come to Christ for all sorts of reasons, but what happens to all of them is this idea of transformation. When God becomes the priority in your life, you will be transformed to a new way of thinking and living. Michael Kylochko had that kind of experience. In this episode, Michael joins me, and tells his story of Transformation.

As the late David Wilkerson once preached, “In the last days, there will be two churches, one a false church and the second will be the real church.” Of course, his comments parallel the parable that Jesus told of the wheat and the tares, where the two will grow side by side until the end.Chris Heeb joins me in this episode, as we talk about what the Prophet Hosea outlines what happens to a people who lose track of God and His ways.

Tom Newman discusses the New You, a concept that is unique to all Service Members. He also discusses the effects of MST (Military Sexual Trauma) and the newest statistics regarding this issue. Operation HighGround Operation HighGround is a nonprofit organization that seeks to reach out to the most unreachable veterans who may not be interested in accepting help for themselves, but who would proudly jump at an opportunity to help other veterans. Operation HighGround is unique … not only in the method of involving our homeless veterans, but in the way we engage our sponsors, providing a win-win approach for all. We seek to improve and re-purpose existing state or federal sites that may currently be under-utilized. We are prepared to use vacant land for modular housing in cases where government-owned buildings are not readily available. The veterans are taught skills by working on the reparation or building of living quarters, which is then used for medium- to longer-term transitional housing. We partner with ot

Discernment about our times is critical for the Church. It helps prepare our hearts and lives for the fulfilment of the prophecy Jesus talked about throughout His ministry. Matthew 24 is a good example of knowing when these things will happen, and for the Church to keeping watching and praying until Jesus returns. In this episode, Pastor Walt McFadden talks about some of issues we face today in the Church.

As we have said many times on the podcast, discernment is a missing art in most Churches today. We accept ideas that practice behavior that is not in keeping with the holiness and the truth of God’s Word. In this episode, Pastor Walt McFadden from Cityview Church in South Minneapolis, discusses some of these ideas coming into the Church … from politics to the false church.Challenging the Culture with Truth with Larry Kutzler and Esteemed GuestsListen to the Latest Episode of Challenging the Culture with Truth Podcast!Check out the Latest CitySites Urban Media Podcast Network Episode!Check out Larry’s books!Visit the CitySites Urban Media YouTube ChannelCheck out It Is That Simple, The Simple Ideas of Profound TruthsCheck out Monday Morning Mindset with Dr. Nathan UnruhCheck out Lenny’s Corner with Dr. Lennard Stoeklen

Exodus 32 is where we read about the Golden Calf that the Israelites made, because of their fear of living in the wilderness without Moses. It is amazing to me, that they were so quick to abandon the God who just liberated them from being slaves, walking on dry land through the Red Sea, and now they moved from their God to a god made from their own hands. Golden Calves have symbolized this transaction ever since. Today, we might be still struggling with Golden Calves in the Church. In this episode, I talk with Reverend Shawn Morrison about the Golden Calves in the Church.Challenging the Culture with Truth with Larry Kutzler and Esteemed GuestsListen to the Latest Episode of Challenging the Culture with Truth Podcast!Check out the Latest CitySites Urban Media Podcast Network Episode!Check out Larry’s books!Visit the CitySites Urban Media YouTube ChannelCheck out It Is That Simple, The Simple Ideas of Profound TruthsCheck out Monday Morning Mindset with Dr. Nathan UnruhCheck out Lenny’s Corner with Dr. Lennard

There has been so much in the news about Israel. We have heard how anti-Semitism has increased around the world, and of course the war in Gaza has been on everyone’s mind. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Jay Christianson from HIghBeam Ministry, about Israel, and the relationship she has with the Church.

Is this Thinking Out Loud episode, Pastor Walt discusses the Church and its message and its method. So, what is the method? It’s subject to the current trends in society. What is the attraction? Is Jesus the attraction to our Churches? What is the message? Are we are making too easy for people to come to faith in Jesus? We are superficial in our faith.

The Bible speaks about people introducing a different gospel into the Church. It usually adds something to what the Scriptures teach, and it changes the dynamics of God’s Word. My guest talks about believing in a gospel or a god of their own imagination.

For a long time, I have felt that pastors may be evolving into something more that the image of the Shepherd. I realize that most of us have never seen a real shepherd, but the idea of caring for people was the image that Jesus left us, defining what a human shepherd does.  Today, the pastor is required to do more than just care for people spiritually, they often must do the fund raising, be the administrator, and in some cases, the pastor is more like a CEO. In this episode, I talk to a veteran pastor about the Art of Shepherding. Pastor Dave McGaffey has been a pastor for over 30 years, and we talk candidly about the pastor as a Shepherd.Challenging the Culture with Truth with Larry Kutzler and Esteemed GuestsListen to the Latest Episode of Challenging the Culture with Truth Podcast!Check out the Latest CitySites Urban Media Podcast Network Episode!Check out Larry’s books!Visit the CitySites Urban Media YouTube ChannelCheck out It Is That Simple, The Simple Ideas of Profound TruthsCheck out Monday Morning M

One of my favorite topics to discuss is in the Book of Revelation, the message of Jesus to the Seven Churches. He outlines the good things He sees, but He also gives a warning. That warning comes with the admonition that if changes aren’t made, He would remove their candlestick which is their call to represent Him. Dr. Jay Christianson of HighBeam Ministry, joins me for a conversation about these Seven Churches.Challenging the Culture with Truth with Larry Kutzler and Esteemed GuestsListen to the Latest Episode of Challenging the Culture with Truth Podcast!Check out the Latest CitySites Urban Media Podcast Network Episode!Check out Larry’s books!Visit the CitySites Urban Media YouTube ChannelCheck out It Is That Simple, The Simple Ideas of Profound TruthsCheck out Monday Morning Mindset with Dr. Nathan UnruhCheck out Lenny’s Corner with Dr. Lennard Stoeklen
