Spare No Arrows
216 episodes - English - Latest episode: 12 days ago - ★★★★★ - 24 ratingsSpare No Arrows is all about equipping believers to stand for Biblical Christianity in Babylon by applying all of Christ to all of life. I want to equip Christians to tear down the idols in our confused world, by knowing Bible well, courageously standing up for truth, and taking aim at the abundance of opposition to Biblical Christianity both inside and outside of the church.
Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around, all you who bend the bow; shoot at her, spare no arrows, for she has sinned against the Lord. - Jeremiah 50:14

October 01, 2020 17:00 - 36 minutes - 24.9 MBIn this episode, Cody talks about a new church he's been attending and getting plugged into small groups, as well as some interesting things that came to light at the group, revealing a serious problem in many churches. Christians don't know how to read the Bible. We read every other book in our libraries... well, like a book. But why don't we read the Bible like a book?

If any of that is true for you, then you couldn't be more wrong. Let's talk about the way that God intends the Bible to be read and understood.

Are Pastors Actually Pastoring?
September 07, 2020 19:00 - 20 minutes - 14.4 MBWhat does the word pastor mean? In this episode we look at the biblical definition of pastor and compare that to our modern Christian understanding and see what doesn't fit. In fact, many pastors aren't pastors at all, and that may end up being a serious problem for your church, but also for the faith and spiritual well being of the individuals in your church. We see Christians filling churches every Sunday who lack fundamental understanding of their faith and who aren't being properly fed ...
