This episode features a new guest writer—Sandra

This episode features the Preacher Kid’s little brother, Dr. Timothy, speaking to us in person from his home in Tennessee. He critiques attributes of the overall podcast as well as a recent episode, Check Your Sources. Per his request, a “good ol’ gospel song” is revved up and ready to go at the end.

For so long, Preacher's Kid has berated the Christianity he was raised up in. He now thinks that just to be fair he ought to balance that with a positive outlook on the Christian experience, sifting out the gold from the dross. Today, PK introduces a guest writer who breaks down for us an effective teaching method used by Jesus a couple thousand years ago. 

The Preacher's Kid (PK) investigates the primary source of information about Jesus as it is reported in the New Testament of the Bible. What he finds is an amazing young man who innocently gets embroiled in the lurid political currents of his country. 

Preacher’s Kid (PK) delivers the address for a guest writer who submitted it recently. The writer expressed concern for the negative portrayal of Christianity in previous episodes, and thought this piece might paint a better picture of it. Manuscripts by guest contributors are always welcome!

Sister Beverly delivers a sermonette she had delivered years ago when she was a novice living in a monastic community. Of all the episodes, this is perhaps the most religious. Sister B lays it on the line in this one. 

Some skills just don't come naturally to the Preacher's Kid as it seems they should. Take, for instance, how to paddle a canoe. There are more basic skills than paddling, such as getting in and out of a canoe in the first place, which one must learn to do if they are ever going to enjoy the paddling!

This episode has a hypnotic flow that again may make for good bed-side listening. Try it! Find a comfortable position, close your eyes, take a couple deep breaths, and ease into the world of Sister Beverly, Brother Bob, and Kendall Paul Wilt the Preacher's Kid. 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 …. and you are there. Welcome!

Per listener request, PK teams up with Brother Bob and Sister Beverly to present several old, old gospel hymns that were among PK's childhood favorites. Family and friends pitch in to help on the musical numbers. This would be a great podcast to play while tucked in to sleep for the night.

Per a listener's request, PK renders an audio of Sherwood Anderson's "The Book of the Grotesque." Sister Beverly and Brother Bob join PK for a semi-literate discussion of the story afterwards. Enjoy!
