A Few Good Men
March 19, 2024 18:35 - 1 hour - 76.8 MBParachurch ministries, political causes, and entrepreneurial enterprises seduce good men away from giving their lives to the Church and her pastoral work. How do we attract young men to the work of the Church during the formative years of their lives? College professors successfully shape their students, often in perverse ways. Why do pastors lack a similar zeal? What must pastors do to identify and draw men into working with Christ's sheep? As mentioned in the show, please check ...
The Presumptuous Parachurch
March 05, 2024 17:27 - 1 hour - 49.3 MBThe parachurch was an innovation of entrepreneurially-minded Christians during the twentieth century. They considered the Church to be old and in the way. Efficiency was the gospel need of the day, so cumbersome mechanisms like denominations, ordination, and church discipline were bypassed. Pastor Bayly and Andrew Henry discuss the rise of the parachurch, the glory of the Church, and how reforming the Church—with all its ugly but necessary division and doctrinal distinctions—is the ...
Food Fight
February 20, 2024 14:56 - 53 minutes - 42.7 MBThere are very few places as divisive in today's church as the potluck lunch. When visitors come to our churches we are likely to hear them proclaim about their food orthodoxy before they say anything about their theology or church background.

Show Notes The man Tim was trying to remember mentioned during the recording was Jerome Irving Rodale founder of the magazine, Organic Farming and ...

The Christian Virtue of Saying No
October 14, 2023 18:33 - 1 hour - 74 MBIt is hard to say no in any context—especially to our children. Saying no is perceived as a denial of the power of God, a moralistic unkindness, or a lack of compassion. Regardless, we must be prepared to say no—as God does to us in His Word. In this episode of Out of Our Minds, Mary Lee Bayly joins her husband and our other fearless host, Andrew Henry. Along the way, they discuss the difficulty and importance of saying no to job opportunities, promotions, and our children's oppor...
Children and danger (Part 1)
September 25, 2023 14:33 - 1 hour - 56.9 MBOur children are in danger everywhere, both outside and inside the home. Some parents are oblivious to physical dangers; others desire to wrap their children from head to toe in bubble wrap before they send them out to play. Overprotection can sissify children, especially boys. Negligence and foolish risk-taking can kill them. Life is precious and can end in a moment. That truth must factor into our parenting. Nevertheless, we must protect the ability of our children to learn wisdom...
The religion of Climate Change
September 11, 2023 23:16 - 1 hour - 93.8 MBPastor Tim sat down again with pastor and economist Jürgen von Hagen to discuss the religion of global warming. It is the nature of mankind to want to be involved in something big. What's bigger than acting to save the Earth?

August 31, 2023 23:07 - 50 minutes - 40.7 MBOut of Our Minds is back.

America is going the way of Russia
April 06, 2023 09:00 - 30 minutes - 29.5 MBWe can learn a lot from what happened in post-Soviet Russia society. They tried the whole cut-men-out-of-everything thing. It didn't work. And it had repercussions. And we can learn what happens when we reject authority (hint: maybe we get Joe Biden for a while, but maybe we also get Stalin). ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
What is manhood, really?
March 16, 2023 10:00 - 35 minutes - 36.1 MBTim, Jake, and Nathan all love Russian history and Russian literature. And you should, too. Although ... in this episode they begin a discussion of Russia and get sidetracked into talking about manliness and responsibility.

When is submission not submission?
December 01, 2022 06:00 - 37 minutes - 34.4 MBA lot of people come to an understanding of biblical sex roles late in life. Sometimes, late in marriage. Sometimes, they haven't had it modeled for them by their own families or by the churches they come from. Sometimes their understanding of a wife's submission can be ... really wooden. So ... how can they not be like that? Aspiring pastors, check out New Geneva Academy! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

There is No Fear of God Before Their Eyes (part 1)
July 14, 2022 05:16 - 53 minutes - 98.5 MBLast month, Tim Bayly resigned as the senior pastor of Trinity Reformed Church. It may come as a surprise to you if you’re not from our church, but it’s actually been in the works for many years. Tim and Mary Lee served this church faithfully for 25 years, and we threw a party to celebrate God’s goodness to us through their faithful service. This episode was recorded about a month ago, right after that party. This is the penultimate episode of the Out of Our Minds podcast in this f...
Pastors Gotta Go For The Heart
July 07, 2022 04:53 - 56 minutes - 104 MBPastors are called by God to use everything at their disposal to point people to heaven. That means pastors have to lay it all out on the line for others.

How Should We Then Love? (part2)
June 30, 2022 09:00 - 49 minutes - 91.3 MBReal relationships are difficult, and rarely are there easy answers when conflict comes along. If your goal is to avoid relational conflict, then you don't actually have real relationships.

Abortion and the Church
June 26, 2022 02:55 - 1 hour - 130 MBWe give thanks and praise to God for His kindness in leading the United States Supreme Court to overturn Roe vs. Wade. A battle has been won...

Our Crisis of Authority, part 2
June 09, 2022 09:00 - 47 minutes - 86.7 MBThis is the second half of our conversation about the crisis of authority in our culture, and one of the main points we make is about the connection between authority and responsibility. I love the way that Tim ends the conversation: don’t worry about restoring authority, just start taking responsibility for others. And it’s true! If you do that well, with love and humility, authority will be restored, to the glory of God. We put a lot of links in the show notes for the first half ...
Our Crisis of Authority, part 1
June 02, 2022 04:08 - 55 minutes - 101 MBToday we are going to talk about the crisis of authority in our nation. Whether you’re talking about the president of the United States or dad in the home, you’d have to be living under a rock to miss the fact that there is a general breakdown of trust for those in authority all across our society. So how are we as Christians supposed to respond? Here are some links from our conversation: The Revolt of the Public How Politics Poisoned the Evangelical Church The Grace of Shame ...
Elon Musk is a Wuss (Justification, part 2)
May 26, 2022 16:31 - 51 minutes - 93.9 MBThere’s always law and gospel. Elon Musk’s good news is that we can rescue the world from destruction through ingenuity and hard work. But it’s a lie, and Elon Musk is a wuss. God is the one with whom we have to do. You can judge God all you want, but in the end, he’s the one who will do the judging. The judgments of the LORD are true; they are righteous altogether. God has judged us and found us wanting, but He has also provided a way of escape through His Son, Jesus Christ. If Y...
Jordan Peterson is a Wuss
May 19, 2022 03:37 - 55 minutes - 102 MBToday’s conversation is all about how you can be right with God. This is a topic that I chose because I think it’s so important. I see the whole red pill movement and Jordan Peterson and all that stuff as our culture waking up to our need for law. And compared to the insanity of critical theory and transgender ideology and all that rot, Jordan Peterson’s 12 rules for life sounds wonderful. Sane! But as pastor Max points out in the conversation, the law that Jordan Peterson or anyon...

The Future Of Our Fight For Life
May 12, 2022 04:29 - 52 minutes - 95.3 MBThis is the second half of a conversation I had with Tim Bayly and Brian Bailey about the recently leaked Supreme Court opinion that would have the effect of overturning Roe vs. Wade if it actually stands when it is officially released. It's nothing short of a bombshell, and Christians need to understand where to go next. Read the draft opinion released by Politico. Tim's book, The Grace of Shame, has been censored by Amazon!

Could Roe vs. Wade Be Overturned?
May 10, 2022 09:00 - 56 minutes - 104 MBClick here to read the full draft opinion leaked to Politico. We would be pleased never to link to Patheos due to the paganism and lies they publish, doing so religiously (so to speak). Still, this piece on the background of Justice Barrett and that background’s debt to author Stephen B. Clark is worth reading. Clark is the brother who wrote the book we recently reprinted, Man and Woman in Christ. I think the piece, then, is necessary background to what we should expect from Barret...

May 05, 2022 09:00 - 48 minutes - 88.3 MBThis is the second half of a conversation about children and discipline that I had with a group of ladies near and dear to my heart.

In this episode, we talk about mommy guilt, the ins-and-outs of spanking, and about delighting in your children. There’s a lot of wisdom for both moms and dad here. Thanks for tuning in.

We got a little push back from the last episode, and so we hope to clarify, improve, and sharpen our teaching on this very important topic.

Helpful Marriage: True Companionship
March 03, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 121 MBToday, we talk about companionship in marriage. Marriage is a mission, and a man and a wife cannot be two ships passing in the night if they hope to complete the mission with any success. Two ships passing in the night is not Christian Marriage. So today in our conversation, we try to give our listeners a vision of sweet companionship in Christian Marriage. The Helpful Marriage Conference is TOMORROW!

Helpful Marriage: Birth Control
February 24, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 170 MBThe universal testimony of both Scripture and the Church through the ages has been to oppose the use of birth control. And yet, even the most conservative churches in our country have completely embraced it and consider child-bearing and contraception to simply be a question of stewardship. I hope our conversation today is challenging, helpful, informative… but mostly, I hope it strengthens your faith. There’s nothing quite so wonderful and scary as bringing a child into the world. ...
