a wonderful discussion and time of learning more about God, real christianity, and IFB churches.
Description
Proverbs 4:23 (KJV) – “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”
Welcome to The Issues Podcast (formerly the Dear Church Podcast). Pastors Martin Wickens and Stephen Russ, along with special guests, get to the heart of the real issues that matter. With a burden to stir your heart and challenge your thinking, they dive into key topics within the Independent, Fundamental Baptist movement.
It’s time to face the issues that shape your life and faith.
Are you ready to deal with the issues?
