This episode JT is a recording of JT's message to the youth group at Bellview Baptist Church discussing how the Bible is completely true and trustworthy.

Join JT and Jody as they preview the 2025 SBC Annual Meeting in Dallas which is coming up June 10-11. While the intent was to discuss the Annual Meeting in general, they ended up chasing a few squirrels sharing their thoughts on topics which may, or may not, be brought up at the annual meeting including financial transparency and the possibility of a ‘new’ Law Amendment type of motion being presented.  

But before diving into all things Annual Meeting, includingwhat everyone seems to be calling it now, JT shares the titles of the three books he referenced in episode 14 as most useful in his sermon prep, which are:

• The Bible Exposition Commentary (Pentateuch: Genesis –Deuteronomy) by Warren W Wiersbe

• Deuteronomy: A Favored Book of Jesus by Bernard Schneider

• Notes on Deuteronomy (Vol 1) by CH MacKintosh

If you’ll be in Dallas this year for the Annual Meeting, keepan eye out for they guys and feel free to stop they to say hello and share your favorite Biblical dad joke with them.

Join JT and Jody as they discuss what JT's first sermon in this episode. Thankfully the plan all along was for JT to be the focus of the show since Jody was still getting his voice back at the time of recording.

If you haven’t listened to the sermon yet, be sure to goback and listen to episode 13 of the podcast. Thanks to all the loyal Knotheads who have been waiting for and asking about the next episode. Hopefully things are starting to slow down enough for the guys to get together and record more often now.

You’ll notice the episode ends abruptly without any farewells from JT and Jody, and that’s because the memory card filled up, but it couldn’t have stopped at a more appropriate place if we’d planned it.

Thanks for listening, following, liking, and sharing!

Join us for a special episode in which we share the recording of JT presenting his first sermon from April 27, 2025.

JT and Jody haven't had been able to line up their calendars to record a new episode lately, but have really wanted to get something out there to help you Biblically navigate a secular world. This episode is actually the recording of Jody presenting the Easter story to the children present at Bellview Baptist Church in Laurens, SC's annual community easter egg hunt.

Hopefully it will give you an idea of how simple it can be to share the Easter story with children at your church this weekend, with or without props.

Reach out if you have any questions in helping plan out what sort of props you could use to share the Easter story with your group this weekend.

JT and Jody weren't able to get together in person to record for a plethora of reasons. The decision was made to go ahead and test out our remote recording options and see how it panned out, which you can be the judge of for yourself.

Thanks to not knowing if the lag and audio issues allowed JT's Sund'y Funny to be recorded, you'll get one from both of the guys this week, meaning you can impress two friends, or make twice the impression on one of your friends.

Wanting to include something in every episode to help you Biblically navigate a secular world, the focus of the episode lies in describing the weekly basketball fellowship our church hosts and how it, or similar activities, offer the opportunity to introduce new men to teaching and leading Bible studies.

Give it a listen, and if don't forget to comment with your best 'bad lip reading' for when the lag kicked in on JT.

Join JT and Jody for another episode where they highlight a few learnings from their journey reading through the Bible in a Year (As it Happened). You asked for more content focusing on the Word, so that starts now.

There's also three big announcements they make in this episode including a name proposal for you, the followers and audience of the Bow Tie Baptists Podcast.

The other announcements have to do with a position Jody was asked to filled in our association for the 25/26 year and RA Field Day which was mentioned in an earlier episode.

Easter is nearly here and for Southern Baptists that means it's the season of the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American Missions.

After a little housekeeping information and this episodes dad joke for you to impress your friends with, we move on to first discuss Annie Armstrong, the woman and then into the story of the offering. You won't get a full biography in this episode, but hopefully what is provided will interest you enough to find out more on your own about Annie and her offering.

You can find the resources mentioned in this episode, give to the offering, and learn more about Annie Armstrong and her offering at anniearmstrong.com.

Check out our new website at www.bowtiebaptists.com and let us know if you have any topics you'd like to see covered in the podcast or as an article on the website.

Introducing the motto for the Bow Tie Baptists in this episode, JT and Jody focus on where "Biblically Navigating a Secular World" came from and how they hope to use it in helping guide people through the podcast and upcoming website.

What was expected to be a 15-20 minute synopsis turned into a few rabbit chases and interested side conversations.

Join JT and Jody as they discuss some of the notes they’ve taken during their Bible in a Year (As it Happened) daily readings since their last recording session. They decided to test out dedicating an entire episode to this type of theological discussion because they wanted to offer episodes dedicated to Biblical teaching and to help keep somewhat up to date with those following the same reading plan. Depending on how things pan out you can expect this type of episode every few weeks as we share some of our learnings from the daily readings of the Bible in a Year plan we are following.

As always, we would love for you to email us with any topicsyou’d like to hear covered on the Bow Tie Baptists Podcast and leave us some feedback about what you’re learning as you read through the Bible in a year.
