Pastoral Counseling & Sexuality w/ Dr. Alfred Poirier
When it comes to the issues that pastors are forced to deal with, the landscape is quickly changing. In a culture that is obsessed with gender and sexuality, a pastor is often going to be engaging with these issues and ideas. However, there is nothing new under the sun and the Scriptures have much to say on issues of sexuality. Nate sits down with Dr. Porier to discuss how pastors can engage with the the common sexual sins of our modern age.

The Scottish Tempest: The Life of John Knox, ep. 2.
Hey everyone. We're back this week with the second episode of The Scottish Tempest. In this episode I'll be covering the period from Knox's conversion to Protestantism until his initial exile from Scotland. There's a lot that happens during that period; his best friend dies, he is the subject of a manhunt, there's an assassination, some people take over a castle, he becomes a pastor at said castle, they try to make alliance with the English and ultimately, they all become slaves to the French. There is, of course, a lot of historical background and context as well because the politics of England, France, Scotland, and Rome all have indirect (and some times direct) bearing on Knox's story. It's a long one, and I hope you enjoy it.
