We interrupt our normal broadcasting to bring you some commentary on this intriguing find we discovered while packing for our move. All of the content in this episode is brought to you by Dr. Jim Phillips' notebook which teaches young pastors how to effectively run a church and counsel the members. We quickly burned our copy after recording.

A Manual for Young Pastor by Dr. Jim Phillips

Hold up, we aren't talking about door-to-door again, but that is something the IFB confuses with outreach. In this episode Sam and David discuss some of the outreach they participated in during their time in the IFB....or lack of outreach they experienced.

Just how far back do we have to go when asking someone to "Gimme that Old Time Religion"? Not that far back, and the time period the IFB uses "Old Time Religion" to refer to is even more recent than the song. Join Sam and David as they discuss their view on and experience with the "Old Paths."

This week's episode is sure to grab you by the neck! Join Sam and David as they take you on the journey of the La Cravat, or as you might know it the necktie. You'll even hear about Sam's emo days, much to her chagrin.

Although this isn't the most common topic within IFB churches, those of you that have experienced this method know it can get real crazy real fast. This week Sam and David take you all the way back to ancient Egypt, the hay-day of the fifties, and the not-so-fifties modern America.

Music has existed longer than man, and the IFB will only let you listen to one small section of it. Join Sam and David as they dissect the different categories of music, tell their own stories with music in the IFB, and even create the seven levels of a listener in the IFB.
