Like a 12 year scotch this episode has been aging in oak barrels allowing the conversation to blend and infiltrate every...blah blah blah. By God's mighty hand we present to you a fantastic episode with special Donovan Riley. Along with his work with Higher Things and 1517, check out his upcoming contributions to a Commentary on the Psalms by 1517 legacy publishing.

Also, ROSS IS BACK!!! We discuss what sequence events would have to take place for him to commandeer a vessel.

Like and subscribe, friend us on Facebook (ringsidepreachers) check out our website - ringsidpreachers.com

TOPICS:

1. BIBLICAL PREACHING. Everyone says they do it, but what exactly does that look like? Is it just reading from the bible, teaching it? Anything more? Can you preach a biblical sermon without quoting the bible or retelling a bible story!?

2. THE MAN. Guys, you don't have to look good to get a bride. You got to take care of business, lead, provide,etc. We witnesses such a hero at Don Halls Ft. Wayne last week!

3. PASTOR DONOVAN RILEY'S 5 MINUTE STORY OF HOW TO BECOME A PASTOR! Great story of God's work with clay kitchenware as Donovan talks about God's interference in his life, from atheism to christianity, from academics to shepherding a flock and getting his hands dirty.

4. JESUS CASTS OUT DEMONS! WHAT? Are Demons real? Do we see them now? We examine the upcoming text for Feb.4

5. AMERICA IS NOT ISRAEL! Please stop equating the history of America with the history of Israel!

Thanks again to Pastor Riley for joining us.

Once again from the infamous Don Hall's Guesthouse in beautiful Ft. Wayne, IN, Ringside comes to you with its cup overflowing! If you like heated Bathroom floors, slightly worn 70s decor and towels that don't soak up water but instead move the water around your body while leaving a strange rash, then you will love this episode!!!

While Ross Engel prepares to serve our country as a chaplain, an already accomplished chaplain, Graham Glover visits us from the Pentagon to take his comrade's place. We were also blessed with the man who works behind the scenes to make things happen - Rev. Tim Barkett!

We also get a visit from a new regular to the show - the concerned seminarian!

Other guests we were privileged to have join Paul & Joel:

Rev. James Hopkins

Rev. Timothy Winterstein

Rev. Joel Krogen & wife Veronica Krogen ( a regular topic & sponsor submitter)

Rev. Jonathan Holmes

a concerned Seminarian

and Sara our waitress!

TOPICS:

1. LEX SEMPER ACCUSAT? Does it really always accuse? Is the Law eternal? What was the Law's use in Eden? Who cares?

2.RELIGIOUS LIBERTY & CHAPLAINCY. Graham explains what chaplains do and why they are important. We also enjoy a conversation about Religious Liberty

3.WHAT DO YOU TELL SOMEONE WHO IS FACING A DANGEROUS SURGERY OR FOUND OUT THEY HAVE SERIOUS ILLNESS? The pastors talk about how they approach the child of God

4. WHAT MAKES A GOOD MOVIE? Rev. Winterstein discusses is involvement with the Newport Beach film festival and what makes a good movie

5. JONAH & JESUS! Did Jonah really get swallowed by a great fish? What's the point of the story? Jonah wasn't afraid of Nineveh, he was afraid of God's mercy toward Nineveh

6. SHOULD COLLEGE ATHLETES GET PAID? The group wrestles with this sensitive and significant theological topic! All gloves are off!

Still using the Julian calendar? You liked New Coke better than classic? You go to a conservative church but you only like to hang out with liberal friends? Welcome to the podcast for everybody else!

While Ross is in training to serve as a chaplain in the navy, Cindy Koch fills in quite well! And she is better looking!

topics:

1. WHAT TO DO ABOUT BAD PREACHING!? Pastors don't like to be critiqued. They take it personally. But there is bad preaching and it needs to stop. Bad content, poor delivery and inability to express a point!

2. WHEN TO WEAR A TIE? Every man should have some ties at his disposal. When should he wear them?

3. SILENCE IN THE WORSHIP SERVICE. Are we afraid of it? Is there a benefit to uncomfortable silences? Are there bad silences?

4. JOHN 1:43-51 NATHANIEL mimics Trump? WHAT IS THE ANGEL DESCENDING ASCENDING MEAN?

5. WHY DO LECTIONARY CHURCHES READ THREE DIFFERENT SCRIPTURE SELECTIONS? Hess things its a little too much especially when a scripture passage does not make immediate sense and the pastor isn't able to preach on it.

You don't run on treadmills even when 9 below. You'll drive an extra mile and wait an extra hour before you'll eat at some franchise. You drink your milk right from the jug and you won't apologize. You are a ringside listener and you deserve the best! Well we got it for you!

TOPICS:

1. If Pot is legal, is it moral? Is it different than alcohol? Can a Christian enjoy it?

2. What the heck is epiphany? WE know what Christmas is, but why do we need epiphany?

3. PASTORS ARE COACHES? OF course not. But with all the talk of football coaches being fired and hired it certainly draws comparisons to peoples expectations of pastors.

4. How much water for a baptism? Why are our fonts so tiny in the lutheran church? Does it matter? Enjoy a little reading from an ancient christian resource called the Didache
