  • Do We Make This Look Easy?

    Sometimes being on a platform obscures the view of the work and preparation it takes to serve well. This goes beyond the ministry context. We see it played out in sports, business, public speaking, etc. Nearly every time someone does something excellent, they make it look easy... but it's not.

    So you have a call from God on your life. What do you do next? Run up on the first stage you find? How do I move forward?

    The guys get real about their journey into ministry. We hope this episode serves you, no matter where you are called.

  • America: Season 248

    The guys discuss the chaos and confusion of American political 'silly season.' Stick around for an illustration involving fireworks and the moon. The political hope, intrigue, and upheaval is passing away quickly - there are eternal things that matter much more. But, it sure is fun to watch!!

  • Fear Not: a fear tournament lightning round

    We are not afraid - but we intend to be decisive! Let us know all the stuff we got wrong here:

  • Things the Bible DOESN'T Say
    Christians have all kinds of phrases that don't come from Scripture. There's even more sayings and proverbs that sound biblical that culture often attributes to the church that aren't backed up by Scripture. This week the guys challenge some of these common phrase by holding them up and examining a few of them, one at time. If you think of a few more, please feel free to drop us a note below:
    We reference Episode 86 of the Naked Bible Podcast on the Head Covering of 1 Corinthians 11. Here's the link to that episode.
