*By Dave Zuleger, Lead Pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church (south campus) We Are Who We’re With We all know that the more time we spend with others, the more we become like them. We take on personality traits, inflections, and can even begin to sound like them. Often times, we begin to act like them…
Recently I was reminded of the fact that election season is upon us. In my home state of Kentucky, there were some important elections that took place. The result of the race for Kentucky’s next governor was close. It was so close the election was (or still is?) disputed. What we are witnessing in Kentucky…

Here are a few things we believe are worth a look. At the annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society this year, a paper was presented arguing for the viability of “Transgender Christianity.” This is important because what happens in the academy runs downhill into our churches.

“Friendship is agreement with kindliness and affection about things human and divine.” Cicero I’ve been blessed with good friends. Particularly friends who are fellow pastors. There was a time in my life when I thought I was fine on my own and could handle things alone. I had moved to a different state, returned to…
This past week Beth Moore tweeted the following: “Oh man, there’s bouta be a fight. I love this.”—Beth Moore.
