There is a PCA country song at the end. Here are the lyrics:

I ain’t smart, but I damn sure wanna be

Pastorin like this just ain’t workin’ for me

I wish I had a voice in the denominational bucket

There are some overtures to which I say suck it

I know everybody says donuts can’t buy happiness

But they could buy me some votes

It could buy me the church to pull it

It could buy me a Yeti one ten iced down with some silver bullet

I know what they say, donuts can’t buy everything

Well, maybe so,

But they could buy me some votes

They call me grace boy, Kellerite, Side B promoter

But that could change if I had another thousand voters

I keep hearing that donuts are the root of all evil

And you can’t fit a camel through the eye of a needle

I’m sure that’s probably true

But it still sounds pretty cool

Cause they could buy me some votes

It could buy me a church to pull it

A blog or post or group finds the silver bullet

Yeah, I know what they say, politics can’t buy everything

Well maybe so,

But it could buy me some votes

I float the slippery slope with a beer

I hear the end of the PCA is getting really near

Well, that would get me a whole new presby deal

And it could buy me some votes

It could buy me a platform to pull it

It could buy me a facebook group to expose all progressive bullets

Yeah, I know what they say, donuts can’t buy everything

Well maybe so

But we’ve got the votes

Yeah I know what they say, grace can’t mean what it means

Well maybe so,

But we’ve got the votes

Do we got the votes?

This episode has a PCA country song. Here are the lyrics: 

Hughes Oliphant Old

Wrote books so bold

Looking for a modified time

With a cool attitude

About the new worship views

We’ll worship both morning and night

I said enthusiastic hellos

To the ancient lingos

So let’s give low church a fight

Cause nothing loves it like liturgy does

Nothing can

I can’t take the Hillsong buzz

Like liturgy does

I’d sure like to find

An old prayer tonight

I’m putting this service together

The boys around here

Livestream I fear

They don’t have church calendar tether

My modern professors

Greek an Hebrew expressors

Helped give low church a fight

Cause nothing loves like liturgy does

Nothing can

I can’t take that Baptist church buzz

Like liturgy does

We said the confession

Checked off by the session

We regulated every principle

Moved on to the sermon

My wheels were all turnin

Making sure it’s all expositional

I held up the bread

It’s by faith then I said

You’re drinking the blood all right

Here is the first bit of the PCA Country song you hear at the end:

You know this world is full of preachers

While all of us are chosen

Some tear your heart out when they preach

Imagine life without them

All your Presby heroes

Ewan’s accent that walks through your best dreams

There will never be another

David’s preach it to the bones

Russ Whitfield chased away the blues

Howie brought us heaven

Or Ince and Alex

Lord, I wonder who’s gonna fill their shoes

Who’s gonna fill their shoes

Who’s gonna stand that tall

Who’s gonna vote at GA

Keep us laughing through it all

Who’s gonna give his heart and soul

To get to me and you?

Lord, I wonder who’s gonna fill their shoes?

God bless the boys from Memphis

That tank top sure does tempt us

Bob’s donuts won that close vote that one year

Sauls and Dalbey’s outreach

Twit out there for a tenth speech

And Coffin’s cheat sheet helps beat down our fears
