Defining Woman

Christian Living, Pastors' Blog, Personal, WorldviewBy Don FilcekJune 9, 2022Leave a comment

Can we assume that Eve was the first woman?  She was certainly the first female.  But is the word “woman” merely reserved for a gendered cultural expression that can only be defined based on social constructs?  I assume that cultural expressions were quite limited being that just her and Adam existed AND that the fashion…

Three Reasons Why You Should Study Your Bible

Christian Living, Pastors' Blog, UncategorizedBy Don FilcekMarch 3, 2022Leave a comment

I was told by someone that the most important thing about me is what I think about when I think about God. Since I am a man with the convictions that there is indeed an Almighty Creator, this rings true to me.  Anyone who claims to a be a person of faith in God is…

How to Watch a War

Christian Living, Missions, Pastors' Blog, WorldviewBy Don FilcekFebruary 24, 2022Leave a comment

As I went to bed last night I was picking up on the nightly news that invasion was underway in Ukraine.  When I woke up I watched a segment on CNN that troubled my heart.  The newscaster stood at the side of a large screen map of Ukraine.  It was a high tech affair. He…

David and Jonathan

Christian Living, Pastors' Blog, PersonalBy Don FilcekJanuary 6, 2022Leave a comment

This week, I am preaching in the lament of David over the fallen King Saul and his son, Jonathan.  David and Jonathan were best friends!  They were brought together at a tough time in the history of their nation.  David was a young shepherd taking care of his father’s flocks, while Jonathan was the crown…

Don's 2021 book list

Don’s Book Reading Breakdown 2021

Christian Living, Pastors' Blog, PersonalBy Don FilcekDecember 30, 2021Leave a comment

I like to give a recap of my reading for the year.  I keep a document that I update with books I finish, and it is fun to go back through the list at the end of every year and be reminded of where I have been.  This exercise may be only for my benefit,…

Follow the Leader

Christian Living, Church, Pastors' Blog, PersonalBy Don FilcekOctober 21, 2021Leave a comment

Over the years, I have been asked by people to give my five year and ten year plan for the church. This has never really sat well with me. The question honestly is a bit confusing to me for two particular reasons. First, I am unsure if they are asking out of concern for the…

Where Did the Porn Go?

Christian Living, Church, Pastors' BlogBy Don FilcekSeptember 30, 2021Leave a comment

ReCAST Church was started 12 years ago, and it was right at the rise of the smartphone craze. I had my first iPhone around the start of the church, and I barely knew what to do with it. The App Store was new and amazing, and there were plenty of games to be found to…

3 Reasons I Am Preaching the Song of Songs

Christian Living, Church, Pastors' BlogBy Don FilcekSeptember 16, 2021Leave a comment

I once heard of a prominent pastor who aspires to preach the entire Bible within His lifetime.  And he said in jest that if he has the opportunity, you can be sure that the Song of Songs will be the very last one.  True to his word he has not yet preached through the Song…

What Grace Does

Christian Living, Pastors' Blog, PersonalBy Don FilcekSeptember 9, 2021Leave a comment

What the local church has in abundance, is exactly what the world needs.  The local church, rather than being some business or institution, is more simply defined as the local gathering of those who have asked Jesus Christ to rescue them from their sin.  They recognize Him as their leader.  They have experienced salvation that…

5 Things That Start My Day

Christian Living, Pastors' Blog, PersonalBy Don FilcekSeptember 2, 2021Leave a comment

I have developed a pattern to my mornings that have helped me to be more focused and intentional.  I have not always been a morning person, but having been challenged to get up and read the Bible and pray at a men’s retreat quite a few years back, set me on a pathway of more…

Doctrines of Demons

Christian Living, Church, Pastors' Blog, WorldviewBy Don FilcekAugust 26, 2021Leave a comment

There is a type of person that many Christians don’t want to believe exists.  It may be that we have a strong sense of grace, a naive view of the world, or even a “think the best of people” attitude.  But we need to wake up, because this type of person is only going to…

Why I Serve at Summer Camp

Christian Living, Pastors' Blog, PersonalBy Don FilcekJuly 15, 2021Leave a comment

I was not a summer camper as a kid.  But I wish I was. I first heard about Camp Barakel when I was a student at Columbia Bible College in South Carolina.  A friend and fellow Michigander invited me to come up and counsel there for the summer between my sophomore and junior year.  Having…
