  • In this weeks podcast, Jim Putman talks with Blake Whiteman and Heather Dalton about men's and women's roles in church leadership. They begin by discussing the current trend of Progressivism among Christians, then they move on to the story of Deborah, a women judge we see in the Bible, and how she stepped up to what God was calling her to do. Here are some of the points they touch on in this episode: Christian progressives tend to believe that as time goes by the Holy Spirt will lead us to new understanding and a new trajectory of truth.The New Testament is clear that we are not to add or take anything from the scriptureThere are boundaries laid out in the Bible about sex and gender - we have equal value but we complement each other.At Real Life Ministries, we teach from a complementarianism view of men and women's roles, not an egalitarianism one.All of us, as followers of Jesus, are to submit to one another - we need to focus more on posture, not position.

  • Are we truly willing to surrender everything to God, even at great personal cost? Hannah's story, marked by profound anguish over her longing for a child, prompts us to examine the posture with which we approach the Lord: do we come with open hands, ready to let go, or do we cling tightly to our desires? In this episode of The Overtime Podcast, Jim Putman joins with Blake Whiteman, Gabe Cleave, and Titus Leger to talk about the life of Hannah and how God used her to model an illustration of strength and dignity that we can still learn from today.

  • In this episode of the Overtime Podcast, Jim Putman is joined by Blake Whiteman and Bill Krause as they close out the Stand Firm series by addressing the topic of End Times from the perspective of the books of 1st and 2nd Thessalonians.

    Some of the things they address:

    - The priority of the mission of Christ over doctrinal disagreements on the end times.- They reference biblical passages emphasizing God's patience and timing regarding the end times.- Recognizing of the danger in alienating others from Christ through divisive attitudes on eschatology.- The lack of detailed timing in biblical prophecy and God's intentional withholding of information.- The importance of living in alignment with God's will despite uncertainty about future events.- Speculation about God's intentional vagueness in prophecy to confound the devil's plans.- Confidence in God's sovereignty and ultimate victory, regardless of apparent setbacks.- Reminder to trust in God's wisdom and follow His commands, even when outcomes seem unclear.

    We need to shift our focus away from fixating on the intricate details of future events and instead embrace the message of hope and salvation offered by Jesus. Today is the day for salvation; let's use our voices to share this hope with others.

    While we may not know the exact timing of future events, we can live confidently in God's sovereignty and reach out to those who are hurting or seeking. Let's be known for our hope and assurance in Christ, even amidst the challenges of the world.

    As we close this series, may we stand firm, comfort the brokenhearted, and encourage one another. Let's be willing to endure suffering for the sake of pointing others to the eternal hope found in Jesus. God bless you, and see you next time on The Overtime Podcast.

  • In this episode of the Overtime Podcast, Jim Putman sits with Craig Miles, Blake Whiteman, and Titus Leger as they discuss what it looks like to stand firm in the scriptures and the truth we were given.

  • In this episode of Overtime: Jim Putman, Blake Whiteman and Titus Leger address the issue of standing firm to the message we have been given by the new testament writers.

    They discuss that upholding the teachings Paul and the apostles entrusted to us is essential, particularly as various individuals may attempt to alter the gospel's message. According to 1 Timothy, all scripture is divinely inspired and definitively bestowed upon the saints.

    The guys talk about how some believe in only focusing on the words directly spoken by Jesus (the "red letter" words), they discuss how this view is too narrow. Even the red-letter words were written down by other people, not Jesus himself. Jim highlighted several rules vital for interpreting scripture accurately: Knowing the original language helps us understand what it really meant back then, looking at its history helps us know what it was meant to say, and we should consider everything together instead of just picking out parts that suit our own ideas. Following these rules helps us really get what the scriptures are trying to teach us.

  • In this episode of the Podcast - Jim Putman sits down with Blake Whiteman, Gabe Cleave, and Sam Meredith to talk about standing firm in the middle of the struggles and circumstances that we encounter in this world.

    They discuss that in life's trials, we often question God, but in the book of Thessalonians Paul calls us to find gratitude even amidst chaos, believing that He is shaping our lives. This faith brings hope beyond circumstances, anchored in the promise of Jesus' return. It inspires active love, showing readiness for Christ's return. Faith leads to hope, then love—a journey of deepening commitment.

    Some of the things they cover are:

    * Recognizing God's active presence in our lives, even in the midst of trials and challenges.

    * Understanding that true faith leads to a fundamental shift in values, identities, and actions.

    * Finding assurance not in fleeting circumstances but in the promise of resurrection and the imminent return of Jesus.

    * Assessing our readiness not through rituals or dogma alone, but through the authenticity of our love for one another.

    * Committing to continually deepen our love for one another, recognizing it as the hallmark of our faith's maturity.

  • In this episode of the podcast, Jim Putman talks with Jim Blazin, Gabe Cleave, and Christian Putman about God's plan for the Home Sphere of our lives. What happens when our homes don't look like the blueprint God created for families? What if there is a gap?

    The truth is, there are gaps in every home - and God's plan for us includes utilizing His Body, the Church. Listed below are some of the specific things these four discuss when it comes to filling in the gaps. -

    God's plan for the Home Sphere involves raising children to know the Lord and preparing them for challenges they will face.

    Even traditional families have gaps that should be filled by the church community, encouraging individuals to seek and accept help when needed.We sometimes have to make a choice between convenience and ensuring that our children know Jesus.If we don't fill the gaps, we can be sure Satan will.It can come down to a battle of the mind for our children. Remember that Satan is the father of lies. Understanding our identity in Christ (Eph. 1-2) is key to combat lies and avoid becoming a victim.

  • On this weeks podcast, Jim Putman is joined by Jim Blazin, Gabe Cleave, and Blake Whiteman as they talk about the importance of the marriage partnership in raising Godly children. They also touch on the role those who are single or even empty-nesters have in helping to parent the children and young people in the Church Body - we all have a part to play.

    Creating a home sphere that leaves a lasting impression on children requires an intentional effort from parents and adult church members. This goes beyond simply verbalizing faith; it involves modeling the principles of God in our daily lives. The foundation of this impression begins with the marriage relationship, which is a conduit of grace and a display of God's plan, but it extends to all of us who live together as one body in Christ's Church. The commitment to mutual submission, sacrifice, and obedience is essential for a home that reflects God's truth and withstands the challenges that may arise.
