Pastor Thad answered follow-up questions related to Sunday’s. He began by providing a detailed explanation of the Greek grammatical term “present active command,” using “do not be anxious” from Philippians 4:6 as an example. He emphasized that such commands are meant for ongoing obedience and are not mere suggestions. He then assessed the health of his church, West Hills, in terms of members praying for one another and bearing each other’s burdens, describing it as “growing.” He identified pride and discomfort as barriers to deeper vulnerability and offered practical steps for the congregation to improve, such as making prayer a habit, praying for others in the moment, and being more open in small groups.
