Welcome back to the Lead Defend Podcast! We hope you had a great Christmas/New Year's break, but we're hitting the ground running with new episodes here in 2022.  Back in 2021, Ryan and Brock recorded a couple of Live Shows at the Arkansas Baptist State Convention on October 25-26. In this very first one, they sat down with Chris Roller, Student Pastor at First Baptist Church, Rogers, and Brock's boss.  They discuss how important it is to learn apologetics young, as students in Jr. High/High school, and how apologetics and discipleship really do go hand in hand. They also talk about how to effectively put those two to work in your lives as well as many other things!    To watch the show, click here.

The Importance of Apologetics in Discipleship - Ryan and Brock feat. Chris Roller 

One of the areas of the church that generates the most liability for churches is student ministry.  First, they like to do crazy stupid stuff sometimes.  Ropes courses without ropes, lake days with students flying through the air off a tube at 40 miles per hour, food fights with full cans of food, firework wars - I've seen all of this stuff.  However, students bring a lot into the church in a very real spiritual battle over that teenager's life.  Sexting of child pornography, bullying, volunteers engaged in sexual contact with students, pornography use, abuse and mandatory reporting, and more.Here are the high points of our discussion with Chris Roller:Sexting literally brings child pornography into the church.Bullying creates legal liabilities not only for the bully, but possibly for the church as well.Properly vetting volunteers will continue to be an enormously necessary task.As abuse increases, so will the need for pastors and student leaders to understand the mandatory reporting laws in their state.
