Are pastors allowed to make mistakes? What does it look like for a congregation to forgive? In our neighborhood—the South Hills of Pittsburgh—performism and perfectionism are the soup of the day. Every day. How has this influenced our expectations of others in the church? Do we, as Christians, have the gracious margin for allowing mistakes and welcoming healing? Or are saints expected to operate in a mistake-free zone? Join Kyle, Peter, and Pastor Nate as they discuss holiness, forgiveness, cancel culture, and the tyranny of perfectionism in this tenth episode of We Make Christians.

Parenting is ardous and laborious. But it's also rewarding and significant. The Lord has blessed our congregation with a heritage and we get to form tiny image-bearers, prepare future worshippers, and educate citizens of His kingdom. When it comes to the worship service on the Lord's Day, don't buy the lie that children are a distraction or disruption. That's not how Jesus sees things. But how do we incorporate them into the Body while we worship? Join Kyle, Peter, and Pastor Nate as they discuss parenting in the pew and making little Christians in this ninth episode of We Make Christians.

Jesus isn't wondering who will win this 2024 Presidential Election. He isn't worried that He will be ousted from His throne. He is in control, and we can have proper confidence that He is actively reigning, no matter the outcome. But how shall we then vote? How should Christians think about Church and State relations? Are we allowed to stick our heads in the sand for a while? In this eighth episode of We Make Christians, join Kyle, Peter, and Pastor Nate as they discuss how to be a faithful and active church in the midst of a tumultuous election season.

What do you do when you get frustrated, disappointed, angry, or sad? What do you tell yourself? “Get over it.” “It’s their fault.” “This is too much to handle, Lord.” Or, "He is sovereign." "Lord, help me let go and give this to you." In this seventh episode of We Make Christians, join Kyle, Peter, and Pastor Nate as they discuss trusting in the Lord during difficult times and the need for Christians to repent, believe, and forgive on a daily basis.

The egalitarian mindset is anti-nature and arrogant. It plays fast and loose with God’s ordinances. It doesn’t value roles or offices. It believes that we can transcend everything, including nature. It tells us that we don't have to submit to anything or anyone anymore. We can be our own gods! Join Kyle, Peter, and Pastor Nate as they continue in their discussion of the problem with egalitarianism in this sixth episode of We Make Christians.

What do feminism, no-fault divorce, abortion, homosexuality, and transgenderism have in common? Egalitarianism. Egalitarianism says that we’re all the same. Differences don’t make a difference. Gender doesn’t really matter. Roles can be swapped. Join Kyle, Peter, and Pastor Nate as they discuss what the Bible has to say about egalitarianism, patriarchy, and headship in this fifth episode of We Make Christians.

The modern Evangelical church takes a Burger King approach to worship: "Have it your way." Preferences are privileged; wills are worshipped. But the Lord God Almighty has prescribed how He desires to be worshipped and served. Join Kyle, Peter, and Pastor Nate as they discuss why we worship the way we do at Beverly Heights. Why celebrate the Lord's Supper weekly? Why sing those ol' Psalms? Why refrain from clapping? This and more in the fourth episode of We Make Christians.
