The BreakPoint Podcast

The BreakPoint Podcast continues to grow!  Thanks to many of you, we now have nearly13,000 subscribers.  Last week alone, our subscribers downloaded nearly 70,000individual BreakPoint Podcast episodes.

If you are one of our regular listeners, you now know the BreakPoint podcast gives you a rich mixture of news, commentary, and features that you simply can’t get anywhere else.  In the past year, the number of listeners has grown four-fold.  Why?  Because our listeners have discovered BreakPoint to be interesting, fast-moving, and helpful to them as they dive deeply into how a Christian worldview informs their understanding of “every square inch” of creation. 
 
Recently, we made yet more improvements.  We now have “long-form” content every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, along with our normal daily BreakPoint commentaries every week day.  That’s an hour to an hour-and-a-half of fresh audio content every week, perfect for your exercise routine or commute.

Recent episodes have included:

• Alistair Begg discusses the new Spurgeon Study Bible, a project on which he served as General Editor, and he talks with Warren Cole Smith about the enduring legacy of Charles Spurgeon.
• Keith Getty explains the importance of music to the church, and the power of congregational singing.
• A phenomenal address by musician and novelist Andrew Peterson:  “Captivating Children With The Beauty of the Gospel.”  (Special note:  Andrew will be a speaker at our upcoming Wilberforce Weekend.) 
• Ed Stetzer and John Stonestreet discussion of how Christians should respond to such tragedies as the Sutherland Springs shooting.
• A discussion about religious liberty and the Jack Phillips Supreme Court case with the Alliance Defending Freedom’s Kristin Waggoner (who is representing cake artist Jack Phillips before the Court) and Ryan T. Anderson of the Heritage Foundation.
• An exclusive conversation between the two “voices of BreakPoint”:  Colson Center President John Stonestreet and best-selling author Eric Metaxas.  The two of them have a free-wheeling and entertaining conversation about Eric’s new biography of Martin Luther.

63	Reviving the Rural Churches of America: One Sheep at a Time	A lot of us want to do great things for the Lord. But great doesn’t necessarily mean big. We’re all familiar with Jesus’ parable of the lost sheep, in which a man leaves his 99 sheep to find the one that is missing. But a lot of pastors today, in their understandable passion to minister to the 99, have left the one all alone. I speak of the forgotten sheep of rural America. The great missionary statesman William Carey once said, “To know the will of God, we need an open Bible and an open map.” And the open maps of today are telling us that there is a massive shift to the cities from the countryside. Operation World points out that the global share of people living in urban areas has shot up from 13 percent in 1900 to above 50 percent today. In America, the trend is even stronger. According to the USDA, overall, the country’s “non-metro” areas have lost an average of 43,000 residents every year since 2010. Job prospects in the countryside are falling, and poverty rates are rising. According to one report, deaths are now outpacing births in hundreds of rural counties. So it’s hardly surprising that urban and suburban ministry is a focus for so many. But what about the lost sheep scattered in the countryside? Well, as you might expect, their churches are shrinking and their pastors are disappearing. The National Congregations Study finds that the percentage of rural congregations has plummeted from 43 percent in 1998 to 32 percent in 2012. And what about the pastors? With so many churches struggling to keep their doors open, fewer and fewer can afford to pay a pastor, and thus many of them are going without. Well, that’s where an innovative and yet back-to-basics ministry such as Village Missions comes in. Village Missions, which was founded in 1948 by an Irish Presbyterian pastor named Walter Duff Jr., has sent out hundreds and hundreds of what it terms “missionary pastors” to the lost sheep in America’s rural areas—places like Volga, Iowa. According to a great article by Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra at the Gospel Coalition entitled “Reviving the Dying Small-town Church,” Volga, a farm community of about 200 people, has four churches. Jeremy Sarver, a graduate of Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, was sent by Village Missions to revitalize Volga’s Calvary Bible Church, which had 12 members when he got there. Zylstra says none of the other churches had a single full-time pastor at all. Ministry in the countryside may be on a smaller scale than a lot of pastors are used to, but it allows them to really get to know their flocks. Village Missions requires its missionary pastors to invest about 20 hours a week getting to know the locals in order to become a part of these often tight-knit communities. “I could put up office hours all day long in rural America, and nobody’s coming,” Sarver says. “But if I sit in the combine with them, or go to the coffee shop, or watch a volleyball game with them—they don’t want me to use the word ‘counseling,’ but we talk through things.” After this kind of slow relationship-building, the church doubled in size—to 30 members. And each of these sheep is precious. Last year, Village Missions reported 459 salvation decisions, 179 adult baptisms, and 127 child baptisms. For more information on Village Missions, come to BreakPoint.org and click on this commentary. We’ll also link you to Sara Eekhoff Zylstra’s outstanding article.	10/5/2017	Free	View in iTunes

65	Brett McCracken: The Awkward and Essential Challenge of Christian Community	In the past few years, Brett McCracken has emerged as an important voice in evangelical Christianity, especially among a younger generation that is culturally savvy, but which also embraces historic Christianity. McCracken’s 2010 book Hipster Christianity was sub-titled “When Church and Cool Collide.” He followed up that book with “Gray Matters: Navigating the Space Between Legalism and Liberty.” His latest book, and the one we’ll discuss today, is “Uncomfortable: The Awkward and Essential Challenge of Christian Community. That book is out this month from Crossway. Brett McCracken is a senior editor at The Gospel Coalition. In addition to writing books, Brett has written for The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Huffington Post, and CNN.com, among many other publications. He also speaks and lectures frequently at universities, churches and conferences. Warren Cole Smith had this conversation with Brett McCracken near his home in Southern California, where he lives with his wife Kira.	10/3/2017	Free	View in iTunes
