The world is crazy. We're struggling with the same crazy everyone else is.על ידי Jason Wilcoxon

I really thought we'd get back to doing this multiple times over the last year. Then quarantine hit and I was SURE we'd start again. Then Justin chopped his foot off, so obviously we'll have time. But, it took until June and the new covid surge to get this party started! But we're back! The worst podcast in Christendom!…

We asked Professor/Doctor/Bishop N.T. Wright to be on our podcast. And he said yes. If I were him, I might have vetted my time a little better to see who i associate with. Lucky for us he didn't!

It's 4/20. So we talked about Sex and Drugsעל ידי Jason Wilcoxon

This dude listens to all our podcasts. Who'd have thought?על ידי Jason Wilcoxon

How do we come up with the BRILLIANT sermons that we do every week? How many hours go into such amazing work?על ידי Jason Wilcoxon

For most of our lifetime, the entire idea behind churches has been to make bigger and better churches - massive churches, with lots of folks, and programs and budgets. And stress.

In the grand scheme of all the things we suck at, we especially suck at fundraising!על ידי Jason Wilcoxon
