Two Bearded Preachers episodes

  • 36 - Leadership, Kimbo Slice, and Church Administration

    We admit it, this isn't the flashiest episode we've produced, but the conversation on administering pastoral care is an important part of what Justin and Martin do on a regular basis. They talk about leadership and how they help their congregations overcome challenges like long, unproductive meetings and communication issues within the leadership team. Riveting, we know. They also get distracted by the news of Kimbo Slice's death as well as their typical retelling of stories they both already know. You'll get a hint of a time when the Two Bearded Preachers were not getting along, but sadly, the fullness of that story isn't realized. Better luck next time.

  • 35 - Harambe, Biggie Smalls, and Bertrand Russell

    Justin and Martin discuss just about everything in this episode. From murdered gorillas to celestial teapots there is nothing the two leave out. Martin talks about his trip to the water park where the actions of one person shut down four attractions simultaneously. Justin proclaims his love for wearing speedos in the summertime. Neither have any credibility in their hip hop game as Fay attempts to throw shade at the facially blessed brothers conversation. Most notable, however, is their discussion of Russell’s Teapot: an argument built to shift the burden of proof to those supporting the existence of God. This episode has it all, even a misquote by Martin. It was Calvin, not Spurgeon, he was referencing. Check it out, share it with your friends, talk about how awesome the show is on social media… you know, all that stuff every podcast asks you to do.

    Enjoy the conversation.

  • 34 - Preacher, James Bond, and the Peace River Dolphin

    Is the world ready for a female 007? Justin and Martin both think so. They discuss who made the best James Bond, argue about video games, and wonder if Jason Bourne could beat James Bond in a fight. This episode rambles a little as the fellers have difficulty staying on topic, frequently running down rabbit trails and forgetting what they were talking about. They also wonder when their ministries will become more like Jesse Custer's from Preacher and when his beard will become more like theirs, thick and full like the mane of a lion. It's an episode you don't want to miss.

  • 33 - Chris Jericho, Emo Superman, and Greek Class

    There's a slippery slope with everything. From butlers to public nudity, there's no telling how one decision will impact the future. This fact is no more evident than in the latest episode of Two Bearded Preachers. These furry mammals talk about their favorite WWE celebrities, the problems with Batman V Superman, and stroll down memory lane with a troubling tale from Greek class. Is Justin cursed? Will Martin ever get a massage? What happens when Superman farts? Find out by listening to the 33rd installment of the Two Bearded Preachers super show!

  • 32 - Transgender Bathrooms, Donald Trump, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe

    When one considers the current cultural landscape the issues of bathrooms, presidential candidates, and superheroes will inevitably arise. Can someone make sense of a world where Starbuck's customers are forced to wait on a member of the opposite sex to finish using the restroom? Justin and Martin discuss all this and the pastoral implications in this episode of the Two Bearded Preachers. We have no doubt the listener will be delighted and challenged by the facially blessed dynamic duo of the podcasting universe. You're my boy, Blue.

  • 31 - Bearded Christian Baristas, Calling to Ministry, and Big Old Birthing Hips

    Have you been called to

    vocational pastoral ministry? If so, the Two Bearded Preachers have
    some advice for you: do something else. Justin and Martin question
    the reality of divine calling to the pastorate, but ultimately
    decide they are both ideally suited for the task. They don't get
    into whether or not the draw to the pulpit is ordained by God, but
    they do joke around about why anyone would even want to get
    involved in church work. It's a fun little conversation that may or
    may not encourage you to seek out ordination. In all honesty it
    probably isn't any help at all.

  • 30 - Trust, Forgiveness, and Reconciliation

    Episode 30 is where Justin and Martin discuss

    how to rebuild trust after it has been lost. They talk about
    forgiveness and reconciliation while telling stories about county
    politics and puppies with bladder control issues. Martin spreads
    some sunshine and Justin exploits some glitches in this action
    packed episode.

  • 29 - Beautiful/Anonymous, Birthday Ignorance, and Swatting Luck

    The Two Bearded Preachers have a little bit of trouble adapting to an afternoon recording session. Once they finally get on track with the conversation they discuss finding the Beautiful/Anonymous Podcast and a possible side project for Justin. Martin claims that this isn't a gaming podcast as he recruits people to join the mobile game he currently plays. Neither know when the other's birthday is, but Justin is obviously older than Martin as evidenced by his larger beard. The bulk of the conversation is about whether or not luck exists. They decide it doesn't and listen to a little Frank Sinatra.

  • 28 - Audio Diary, Bowe Bergdahl, and Irritation

    In this, the 28th episode of the Two Bearded Preachers, Justin and Martin get irritated with one another as they discuss the finer points of Serial Season Two. Justin thinks the Army is largely at fault for accepting Bowe into the service while Martin argues Bergdahl is solely accountable for his actions. It gets a little heated as the two argue their points in what proves to be their biggest disagreement ever recorded. Don't worry though, they make up in the end so everything will be OK.

    If you haven't listened to Serial yet, get on the ball and check out one of the facially blessed duo's favorite podcasts.
