            <![CDATA[
            How real is heaven to you? Even as believers, is heaven just a concept that we read or study in the Word rather than a real, ultimate destination? We read about joy and hope God infuses within us towards, not only heaven, but also to carry us through the ups and downs of this life. Do we truly LIVE this reality out for others to see? Pastor Brian Brodersen considers such truths in a discussion with author, Randy Alcorn. Having written over fifty books, pastored a church at one time and now directing the non-profit, Eternal Perspective Ministries, Randy shares the need to remember that true happiness and hope in heaven is a real thing that matters.

            On this &quot;Best Of&quot; episode, Dr. Gerry Breshears of Western Seminary shares two theological trends that have caught his attention. One has been that of local pastors coming alongside to serve their city in the name of Jesus. He also discusses &quot;Theological Tribalism,&quot; which has become a trend of &quot;meanness&quot; amongst believers in various evangelical groups. Pastor Brian and Dr. Breshears conclude by talking about the cohort Dr. Breshears guides and disciples through a specific program at Western Seminary for men in ministry.

            On this episode of “Things That Matter,” guest Pastor Daniel Im of NewChurches.com and author of the book, No Silver Bullets, discusses the approach of systems when speaking on ministry as the Church. Daniel gives examples of natural systems such as a root system in a forest, the solar system, and even systems in our own human anatomy that leads to his point of how God clearly likes systems. He gives an example of spiritual maturity, and how it can be defined differently amongst the Church that is useful not only for ministry leaders, but for individual believers as well.

            Welcome to season 4 of “Things That Matter!” We are excited to share many new episodes as host Pastor Brian Brodersen discusses current events, cultural trends and other things that matter to Christians.  On this episode, Pastor Ed Hickey of Calvary Chapel London in Ontario, Canada, discusses the need for ministry leaders and the Church to be available for the “next opportunity.” Ed planted a church in the Sunshine Coast in British Columbia, Canada, and pastored there for 15 years until he felt a conviction of being too comfortable spiritually. Since then, Ed has planted a new church in Ontario and has established many ministry connections in other parts of the world, including The Paul Initiative. Visit thepaulinitiative.com for more information. Through prayer, fasting and holding onto God’s promises, Ed has witnessed so many divine appointments because he chose to take the “next opportunity” before the Lord.

            Enjoy this episode of “Things That Matter” as host Pastor Brian Brodersen shares many laughs with guest comedian Nazareth Rizkallah. Having grown up in the Gaza Strip and moved to the U.S. as a young man, Nazareth shares his testimony that brought Him to salvation. He uniquely provides insight to the tension between Israel and Palestine and how the Lord opened the opportunity to minster to refugee families through the ministry he leads called Voice of the Refugees. Nazareth closes by sharing many stories of God miraculously changing his situation and has since written a book titled, “Hope in 24 Hours” that is based on these experiences.

            As a pastoral leader, have you thought about retirement, the future of your church, succession? On this episode of “Things That Matter,” Pastor Brian Brodersen talks with Pastor Dave Rolph of Calvary Chapel Pacific Hills, CA, about pastoral transitions and succession of ministry. Dave shares that those in pastoral leadership should not be afraid to plan for retirement and ignore the practicality of life until Jesus&#039; imminent return. While we look forward to eternity, Dave invites pastors to consider the future of their local church. “A church has always been identified by the community in church history, not by its pastor,” Dave shares. He then closes by reminding leaders that succession and transition does not mean they can no longer participate in ministry. Rather, it opens opportunities for other projects in ministry that could not happen if tied by that leadership role.

Scott also shares on the opportunities God has provided to host conferences like the Calvary Chapel Worship Leaders Conference and also collaborate with worship leaders, Paul Baloche &amp; Matt Redman. The Calvary Creative brand was established three years ago that includes studio projects such as the newly released EP, &quot;Steadfast Love.&quot; Through these opportunities, Scott reminds us that above all, the ultimate vision is to provide spirit-filled, Christ-honoring worship and keep the focus on Jesus.

We are excited to continue with new episodes of “Things That Matter.”   On this episode, Pastor Brian examines the depth of God&#039;s grace with Dr. Paul Tripp. They discuss that no one is ever a “grace graduate,” and yet so often in full-time ministry, more specifically those in pastoral ministry, experience an epidemic of graceless living as many, &quot;Improperly equate biblical knowledge, theological ability and success in ministry as spiritual maturity.” We hope you are encouraged to remember the truth of Christianity: That the gospel message is about grace. If we did not need grace, Jesus would not have come.

One has been that of local pastors coming alongside to serve their city in the name of Jesus. He also discusses &quot;Theological Tribalism,&quot; which has become a trend of &quot;meanness&quot; amongst believers in various evangelical groups. Pastor Brian and Dr. Breshears conclude by talking about the cohort Dr. Breshears guides and disciples through a specific program at Western Seminary for men in ministry.

            Pastor Efrem Buckle of Ecclēsia returns for this second part of a two part series on &quot;Things That Matter” as he reacts and shares his views on the resurgence of racial tension. Although this is an unfortunately common issue in the world, Efrem provides his insight. “The reality is we are all sinners,” Efrem explains, and he continues by sharing that in order to overcome this racial tension, or any other issue for that matter, we must submit ourselves to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. There is a degree of necessity to address issues such as racism, but as believers, will we submit to the power of Christ to heal and eradicate these issues in the world today?

            Pastor Brian Brodersen interviews Joel Goldberg, director of Netivah Youth Ministry, based in Israel, on this episode of Things That Matter. Joel grew up in an unique situation of having a Messianic Jewish background in Israel. He expresses the challenges of that situation; however, Joel is also able to see the work that God was doing to prepare him for Netivah that he now directs, geared towards teenagers. Joel provides a great synopsis of the current vibe and feel of Israel, as the society has become more open towards Christianity. Although it is still unpopular for Jews to believe in Jesus, postmodern thought and a greater influence of media has changed the culture of Israel to be more tolerant of different beliefs. While this has affected young people to become more atheistic or agnostic, it has also opened Messianic Jews to share their faith in Jesus more openly. Netivah has been created to support and aid young people, especially as they enter into their service in the Israeli military, as both men and women are required to serve for a time. Please pray for Netivah and pray for Israel!

            How real is heaven to you?  Even as believers, is heaven just a concept that we read or study in the Word rather than a real, ultimate destination? We read about joy and hope God infuses within us towards, not only heaven, but also to carry us through the ups and downs of this life. Do we truly LIVE this reality out for others to see?  Pastor Brian Brodersen considers such truths in a discussion with author, Randy Alcorn. Having written over fifty books, pastored a church at one time and now directing the non-profit, Eternal Perspective Ministries, Randy shares the need to remember that true happiness and hope in heaven is a real thing that matters.

Simply put, God is who brings church growth. It is not based on the models or programs used, but it is a matter of the heart. Remain steadfast in your pastoral ministry and let the Lord lead.
