This episode was originally recorded for Banter of Truth, but we are sharing it with everyone today. In this episode Joe and Jimmy talk through the passing of Joe's dad in a way that might make you uncomfortable, but is helpful for Joe. Then the guys answer a listener’s email about God’s will. Is it possible to be outside of God’s will apart from what Scripture says?

Jimmy and Joe talk through a listener’s question on materialism in the church. Thanks for the message, Chad!

Today Jimmy and Joe get back into the issue of deconstruction and caring for those who wander, while interacting with a tweet from Mark Driscoll.

We bring Dr. Jason Alligood back onto the podcast to talk about glory and godliness, or how the promise of glory is a motive to godly living. Joe and Jason wound up talking about Extreme’s 1992 album, III Sides to Every Story, and the song, Am I Ever Gonna Change? You can watch the video below, but beware - there’s a cuss word in the song. If you have 20 minutes, listen to the last three songs of the album (including, Am I Ever Gonna Change?) which ends in a creative and moving composition of all three melodies.

Today we are reflecting on Chapter 15, paragraph 3, of The Second London Confession.
