Jared, Allen, and Matt are joined by the President of the Southern Baptist Convention, Ed Litton, to look back to clear the air, look ahead to chart the course, and share a lil' bit about so-cal food in conclusion after Matt and Ed returned from a gathering with SBC pastors in Anaheim last week.

Kyle was unavailable, so Matt brings Bart on to discuss some BIG news with him, as well as the fine line pastors must walk to leave well and not ghost people, while also leaving space for the new pastor.

Jared, Matt, and Allen are back together again to talk about NAMB partnering with state conventions to offer Timothy + Barnabas retreats, the value of sabbaticals as we share some news from SWBTS, and some Texas musts as Allen prepares to venture to the Great Republic.

Kyle was out of pocket, so Matt invited Tony on to have a discussion about guest preaching and the role of interim pastors. Even if you're a regular pastor or church leader, or even a normal member of a church, this'll be a helpful word for you...but if you ever fill in or serve as an interim, it's a must-hear.

Jared was unavailable, but Allen and Matt took to the mics to discuss summer camps winding down, Guidestone winding up, and molasses. God did some amazing things through youth camps this summer and great days are ahead for Guidestone. Enjoy this with your favorite biscuits!

Kyle is away, so Matt is gonna play...Matt invited Bart Barber to walk through a recent tweet Matt shared about when members "ghost" pastors and leave, seemingly disappearing off the face of the earth. We sincerely hope this is an encouragement to you!

Jared was out of pocket, but the show must go on...Allen and Matt put together a hearty potluck to serve up a discussion about the International Mission Board's witnessing efforts in Japan during the Olympics, Allen's recent mission trip, and a super-duper southern food, ceviche. Dig in!

Kyle and Matt get together to celebrate what God did or is doing at their Vacation Bible Schools before sharing an impromptu listicle of reasons VBS still works. If you did VBS this year, we'd love to hear how it went in your neck of the woods!

Jared and Matt hold down the fort while Allen heads out of town for a mission trip and take some time to discuss the amazing things God has been doing at Long Hollow, as well as a recent season of heartache before washing it down with a sno-cone.
