What's the one thing every pastor needs above gifting, above charisma, above a good sermon? In this message from Titus 1, Pastor Rogers walks through Paul's charge to young Titus, a discouraged pastor serving in a hard place, and distills God's requirements for a pastor down to one word: integrity. Integrity in doctrine, integrity in morals, integrity in home life, integrity in ministry.

Pastor Rogers shows three places integrity has to hold: at home, in a pastor's personal life, and in the pulpit itself, because a congregation can tell the difference between a man who lives what he preaches and one who doesn't. This episode will challenge you to stand fast where God has placed you and to lead with a life that matches your message.

"No one should try to lead who does not live what he preaches and preach what he lives."
—Adrian Rogers

Why does it matter that we call the Bible the Word of God, and not just "biblical materials" or "record of God's revelation"? In this message from 1 Thessalonians 1, Pastor Rogers makes the case for pastors and teachers alike: because Scripture is called the Word of God, it must be absolutely perfect, since a God of truth cannot inspire error.

Pastor Rogers goes further, showing that the Bible shares its very name with Jesus Christ, who is also called the Word of God, so that the character of the Written Word and the Living Word are forever linked. And because it's God's Word, it carries real power: it converts, cleanses, controls, and confirms every believer who receives it. This episode will strengthen your confidence in the Book you preach and remind you why every word of it is worth your life.

What does a championship basketball team have in common with a healthy church? In this message from Philippians 2 and 4, Pastor Rogers borrows a principle from legendary UCLA coach John Wooden, who built championship teams around three things: getting players in condition, teaching them to play together, and drilling the fundamentals. Pastor Rogers shows how those same three things, sanctification, fellowship, and discipleship, are exactly what it takes to build a unified church.

From Paul's charge to two feuding women in the Philippian church, Pastor Rogers unpacks three requirements for real unity: harmony, hearts tuned to the same standard in Christ, not forced uniformity; humility, not thinking lowly of yourself, but not thinking of yourself at all; and helpfulness, looking out for the interests of others rather than just your own. This episode will help you lead your church toward a unity that isn't forced from the outside, but grows from the inside out.

"Uniformity comes from without. Unity comes from within. Unity can never be brought about by rules. It can never be brought about by threats. It cannot be brought about by pressure."
