How should Christians approach the Bible? In this episode of Courier Conversations, Jeff Robinson and Travis Kerns discuss why verse-by-verse, book-by-book preaching and Bible reading is essential for pastors and laypeople alike. From handling difficult doctrines like predestination and church discipline to avoiding emotional and cultural bias in interpretation, this conversation explores how systematic reading reveals the grand story of redemption from Genesis to Revelation.

If we truly are “people of the Book,” how should we read and preach it?

Is Super Bowl Sunday really the “best Sunday of the year”? Or does that mindset reveal something about what we truly worship?

In this episode of Career Conversations, Jeff Robinson and Travis Kearns discuss a question many Christians don’t often stop to ask: When does football become idolatry? As the NFL promotes slogans like “Sundays are for football,” believers must wrestle with a deeper issue—what is the Lord’s Day actually for?

This conversation explores:

• What Scripture teaches about the Lord’s Day
• Whether watching football on Sunday is sinful
• The difference between enjoyment and idolatry
• How historic Christians viewed Sunday worship
• Why every Sunday is Resurrection Sunday
• Whether Super Bowl Sunday can ever be the “best” Sunday of the year

Referencing voices from church history like John Bunyan and Eric Liddell, Jeff and Travis think through how modern evangelical culture may have drifted in its understanding of worship, rest, and recreation.

This episode isn’t about condemning sports—both hosts love football. It’s about examining the heart. When does something good become something ultimate?

If you’re a Christian who loves sports, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to think biblically about the Super Bowl, the Sabbath, and the glory of Christ.

In this interview, Josh Powell—senior pastor of Taylors First Baptist Church and candidate for president of the Southern Baptist Convention—joins Courier Conversations for a wide-ranging discussion on faith, leadership, and the future of the SBC.

Powell shares his personal journey into ministry, his South Carolina roots, and the experiences that shaped his pastoral calling. He addresses recent social media criticism, clarifies his 2020 article on race, discusses evangelism and baptism metrics, and explains why faithfulness to Scripture—not pragmatism—must guide Southern Baptist life.

The conversation also explores cooperation, discipleship, the Great Commission, and what Powell believes Southern Baptists must reclaim to move toward unity and health in the years ahead.

In an age where compromise is often treated as a virtue, how can churches stand firm without becoming harsh or unloving? In this episode of Courier Conversations, Jeff Robinson and Travis Kearns discuss why theology matters, why church membership is more than a club, and how pastors and church leaders can remain faithful to Scripture in a truth-hostile culture. Drawing from Jude, 1 Corinthians, and the broader witness of Scripture, they explore the relationship between orthodoxy and orthopraxy, the dangers of shallow theology, and why every Christian—not just pastors—must contend earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the saints.

How should Christians speak online? In this episode of Courier Conversations, Jeff Robinson and Travis Kerns tackle the growing problem of harsh, uncharitable communication on social media—especially among evangelicals. Drawing from Proverbs, Ephesians, James, and real-world examples, they explore why Christians often fail online, how expressive individualism fuels hostility, and why attacking people instead of arguments undermines the gospel. This thoughtful conversation offers biblical wisdom on words, tone, and charity, urging believers to engage social media in a way that glorifies God and reflects Christ.

Is hell eternal conscious punishment, or will the unrepentant ultimately be annihilated? In this episode of Courier Conversations, Jeff Robinson and Travis Kerns examine the biblical doctrine of hell in response to renewed discussion sparked by Kirk Cameron and advocates of annihilationism.

Drawing from Scripture, the Baptist Faith and Message 2000, and the teachings of Jesus, they explore whether the Bible affirms eternal conscious torment or conditional immortality. Whether you’re a pastor, theologian, or Christian seeking clarity, this episode offers a thoughtful, Scripture-centered examination of one of the most sobering doctrines in Christianity.

Welcome to the very first episode of Courier Conversations for Women, a new faith-based podcast from the Baptist Courier designed to encourage, equip, and disciple women through the truth of God’s Word. Hosted by Mary Margaret Flook, reporter and social media manager at the Baptist Courier, alongside Hannah Miller, trustee and experienced podcaster, this inaugural conversation introduces the heart, vision, and biblical foundation of the show.

In this episode, Mary Margaret and Hannah share their personal stories—from singleness to marriage and motherhood, missions, homeschooling, and ministry—and explain why this podcast exists: to magnify Jesus Christ and help women grow deeper in their love for Him. Drawing from Scripture, biblical counseling principles, and real-life experiences, they discuss how the glory of God shapes everyday life, womanhood, relationships, parenting, purity, patience, and spiritual growth.

Rather than offering feel-good advice, Courier Conversations for Women is rooted firmly in Scripture as the ultimate “plumb line” for truth, helping listeners apply God’s Word practically in every season of life. Whether you’re single, married, a mom, or navigating a new chapter, this podcast aims to encourage discipleship, deepen delight in Christ, and point women back to the gospel as the source of true joy and transformation.
