This week on the Recovering Fundamentalist podcast our friends at 4 freedom podcast are filling in as the RFP guys are in week two of a four week sabbatical.

This week we wrap up our series on music by sharing the 26 Letters episode "M is for Music". They discuss the history of music in the church, what the Bible says about music, and they walk us through the 7 circles of IFB music holiness. Enjoy!

This week we continue the conversation about music with Brandon Holt, who grew up in the Church of God and Pentecostal movement. Brandon opens up about his personal story, call to ministry, and philosophy of worship. We dive deep into the music controversy by answering some listener questions about contemporary Christian music, bands like Bethel and Hillsong, and how to interact with those with whom we disagree about secondary doctrines. 

JC, Brian, and Nate sit down with Chris McClarney and Kelsey Bolton to continue the discussion on how Christians view music. Chris is a successful Contemporary Christian Artist, songwriter, and full-time worship leader at a local church in Nashville. Kelsey, aka Brian Edwards' daughter, leads worship at Hope Church Danville. This is a meaningful conversation about the heart of music ministry. 

JC, Brian, and Nate tackle the controversial topic of Music in this much anticipated episode. This has been a favorite soapbox for fundamentalism throughout the decades and the RFP hosts are interested in seeing how the things that they were taught line up with Scripture. There are some incredible moments in this episode, including a lot of singing... mostly by Brian... he raps... we're sorry... We even pulled out a recording of the song we sang live in Vegas at our very first Meetup. Enjoy. 

Truth Never Fears A Challenge... What does this mean? Does it mean you jump from of every cliff anyone challenges you to leap off? Does it mean that you allow people who do not hold your values and beliefs to control you? Does it mean you accept every debate or agree to every invitation to appear on a podcast simply because you were challenged? Absolutely not! JC, Brian, and Nate talk about discernment and wisdom on this episode and even make some challenges of their own. 

This will give you a taste of the amazing weekend we experienced in Statesboro, Georgia at our South Meetup. The music, fellowship, food, worship, and sermon were so much better than we can convey through an episode, but this episode is still awesome! Please, make plans to join us at a future Meetup... It was unbelievable. Get out your hanky and let's worship!!!

What are the Biblical Qualifications of a Pastor? What disqualifies a Pastor from leading God's flock? What is a Pastor's role? JC, Brian, and Nathan dive into Scripture to answer these questions and deal with some of the problems that plague legalistic churches and pastors across multiple denominations. 

JC, Brian, and Nate decided to record their first live episode on YouTube. They discuss upcoming plans, what God is teaching them now, answer some real-time questions, and the dad jokes are out of control. Like them or hate them, what you see is what you get and they are obviously enjoying this season of life and ministry. Let's get ready to RUMBLE!!!!!!!

The boys sit down for round 3 with Matt Dudley to discuss "The Fraternity", exactly how "Independent" Independent Baptists are, false accusations against the #RFPFam, and just about anything else you might imagine that four Recovering Fundy Pastors could possibly talk about . This is a free-for-all and the gloves come off. Grab your favorite cup of craft pour over coffee and adjust your skinny jeans for the next hour and nineteen minutes of pure, unadulterated trendy genius.
