As pastors Joe and Jimmy are getting ready for the 4th of July they take some time to discuss church growth, and more specifically, 10 reasons why your church may not be growing. Plus, Joe recommended Outgrowing the Ingrown Church by C. John Miller as a helpful book to read if you find your church losing its emphasis on reaching out.

This episode of Banter of Truth was recorded last summer, but we are sharing it everyone today in light of the returning discussion about yoga pants and modesty. Licensed Professional Counselor, Krista McDunn joins Joe to get into yoga pants, leggings, bikinis, modesty, and lust. Does it matter what we wear? Why all the focus on women? What about modest men? And how should we better prepare our children, boys and girls, to navigate through a hyper-sexualized culture?
