About this episode

The episode discusses whether the modern church has lost its power and explores the impact of Bible translations on faith.

Welcome to the very first episode of Ask the Pastors! In this new series, Pastor Timothy and Pastor Chris sit down to answer real questions about faith, the Bible, and living out the Christian life. Some of these questions came from our previous sermon series and now we’re taking the time to explore them more deeply. In this episode we tackle a big question many believers have asked: Has the modern church lost its power and could Bible translations be part of the reason? We discuss: 👉Whether newer Bible translations change doctrine 👉Why some verses appear different or missing in modern translations 👉What the Bible really says about repentance 👉Why the real issue may not be translation 👉How abiding in Christ (John 15) is the true source of spiritual power The conversation reminds us that the power of God isn’t found in a specific translation it’s found in staying connected to Jesus through prayer, Scripture, and obedience. If you’ve ever wondered why the church today sometimes feels different than what we read in the book of Acts, this discussion will challenge and encourage you. 👉 Have a question you'd like the pastors to answer in a future episode?
