Brandon Johnson returns to the podcast for a conversation about a heavy, often painful topic; the withdrawing of fellowship from a fellow believer.
The topic of disfellowship (excommunication in some circles) is a heavy topic for many. The practice of disfellowshiping fellow believers happens far too often, many times for trivial reasons. Families, churches, and communities have been torn apart as a result of needless and flippant withdrawal of fellowship between Christians. While there is a time and place for withdrawing fellowship from a fellow believer, this practice is one that should never be considered lightly and should only be utilized as a measure of last resort.
In this episode, Kevin, Brandon, and Lee discuss their experience with this practice in terms of being on both the 'giving' and 'receiving' end of disfellowship, what the Bible says about this practice, and how Christians can and should do better.

I was excommunicated from a southern Baptist Church that was masquerading as a non-denominational church in Stateline, Nevada and the reason they gave me it was I was contributing to a charity financially that was not on their approved list. Naturally I was discouraged and devastated and then I drove to a church about an hour away the very next Sunday and they were having a potluck dinner after services and I met a former minister of that congregation who had been fired for the same reason.
