Skip ahead to the 2:47 mark to get to past the banter and into the interview. Today Joe and Jimmy talk with Pastor Adam Wyatt, Pastor of Corinth Baptist in Magee, MS and member of the SBC Executive Committee. Adam helps us understand what the Executive Committee does, what the current struggle and controversy is all about, and how we can be praying.

Jump to the 5:26 mark to skip the banter. On Sept 14th Dr. Adam Greenway, President of Southwestern Seminary, sat down with Litton during chapel for an hour-long discussion on all things SBC. During that interview they covered the “sermongate” scandal. We play some of that audio, attempt to clarify some of the issues involved here, and then look ahead to what this means for next year’s annual Southern Baptist Convention in Anaheim, CA. Plus, Jimmy and Joe do some spontaneous role-play.

The guys answer an email from a listener about “celebratory cigars,” and how to handle the smoking situation when his wife doesn’t exactly approve. This leads to a good conversation about handling disagreements in marriage and the practices of sacrifice and submission.

The guys are back in the Baptist Catechism, talking about the nature of prayer. Plus, Jimmy is eating healthy, and Joe is eating Flamin’ Hot Cheetoes.

Today we are meditating on 1 Pet 2:11, 12.

Jimmy and Joe talk through how we speak to one another as Christians and focus in on Eph. 4:29. Why do so many of us neglect being more careful and constructive with our words? How can we do better?

The Lord’s Supper is to be received only by those who have believed in Jesus Christ. It is an ordinance that Jesus himself gave to the church. Yet we are told that we must still examine ourselves before partaking. What are we examining? Plus, Jimmy takes Joe Steve out for dinner.

Baptist Catechism Q. 104

Q. What is required to the worthy receiving of the Lord’s Supper?

A. It is required of them that would worthily partake of the Lords supper, that they examine themselves of their knowledge to discern the Lord’s body,⁠⁠ of their faith to feed upon him,⁠⁠ of their repentance,⁠ love,⁠⁠ and new obedience,⁠⁠ lest coming unworthily they eat and drink judgment to themselves.⁠.
