Welcome to another installment of Bourbon and Cigars! Jeremy and I launch The Deep Dive on biblical infallibility and inerrancy. During this series, we seek to answer the question, "Is the Bible infallible or inerrant?" This is Part 1.
In this episode, we breakdown the timeline of when the teaching of infallibility and inerrancy became a teaching within the Church. Our initial conversation lasted close to 2 and a half hours so there will be many parts to this Deep Dive. Make sure to check back when the following episodes are released.

October 26, 2018 Renee's Story
Episode 21.
Everyone welcome Renee LaRue Batten to the "Hey Mom" studio!!!!! Yes, if you're thinking, "wait...that's Jeremy's last name," then you are correct. Renee and Jeremy are married. At the recording of this episode (another one from the vault), Renee and Jeremy were a few months away from their wedding day.
In this episode, Renee shares her faith journey and where it has brought her to today. Not growing up in the church, Renee talks about the decision to start attending church when she was younger. She shares the story of the closing of a church plant she was a part of and how it affected her faith. She also shares great insights into the themes such as: resurrection, forgiveness, and grace.
This is another good one. Enjoy!

October 16, 2018 Breakfast with Jim Norton
Episode 20.
Everyone, please welcome Jim Norton to the Hey Mom podcast!!!!! In this episode, I get the priviledge of introducing you, the Hey Mom podcast audience, to Jim. He has become a mentor of mine over the past year, and has become an integral part of my life. Just about every week, Jim and I go to breakfast and chat about our lives, theology, faith, social issues, and just everything else there is to talk about. This is just a "taste" (see what I did there!) of what our conversations look like. At our normal breakfast spot with our waiter, coffee, silverware, breakfast, background music, and chatter from other diner guests, I interviewed Jim Norton about life, faith, and thelogy. Enjoy!
***Disclaimer: I have had this episode recorded for quite some time now. Unfortuantely my mic picked up a bunch of background noise and Jim is hard to hear in some spots: from the background music playing to the waiter and waitress having a conversation behind us. But, this episode is just too good to discard or try and re-record. Big shout outs to Jeremy Batten and Dusty Merrill who tried to edit the background noise for me. Put your earbuds in and crank the volume. You won't be sorry that you did!!!

August 14, 2018 Nanny's Triathlon
In this episode, Brandon shares a recent experience where life and faith were at their most truest and deepest forms. Training for a triathlon, Brandon became aware of some emotions, feelings, and thoughts that were lying dormant in his life. While most of the podcast episodes have camped in the faith realm, Brandon describes some changes in his personal life that are taking place as he rebuilds his life. But as you will hear, faith and life are so interconnected that you cannot fully experience one while depriving the other. Enjoy!

July 18, 2018 "Don't Give Up." A conversation with Val Gittings
Everyone, please welcome Rev. Val Gittings to the podcast!!! Val is the pastor of First Baptist Church in Fairmont, West Virginia. I mentioned, in a previous episode, three people I saw speak in support of our LGBT brothers and sisters at a local council meeting regarding the Human Rights Commission. These three people, not affiliated in anyway, were shining lights admist a sea of "Bible-believing"/hate-filled Christians. Somehow, these three were able to reconcile their faith and support of LGBT. It was beautiful. I made a vow that night to get to know these three people and learn from them. Val is one of the those three people who spoke in support of our LGBT brothers and sisters, and the last person, out of the three, I got a chance to meet and get to know. Val is a gem! Our conversation meant the world to me. In this episode we discuss the Human Rights Commission, her and First Baptist's journey since the council meeting, homosexuality, love, and so much more. Enjoy!
