Pod'N Me - podcast cover

Pod'N Me

Devin Birdsongwww.podnme.org
This is a weekly podcast with me, my mic, and my friends. We call our weekly segments a Pod’n Meetin’ and it is released on midweek service day... Wednesday. I also do interviews that are released once a month or whenever I can get them released with some of the wonderful folks I’ve met over the years. I have no huge ambitions with this other than to share a story and hopefully have a laugh along the way. I am a pastor and was raised in a pastor's home. I've had the high honor of meeting some special folks along the way. It's my desire to have some meaningful conversations and give hope to someone who needs it. Hershall is my one listener! God bless!

Catering To Our Audience with Rev. Aaron Fuller

Text us here! Hersh, first off, it was wonderful to hear from you today. We missed the Deacon on the church cast this week, but the church bus rolled on down the road. We still were able to have a wonderful time. We had some feedback and, of course, I fit some jokes in apropos (new big word used today meaning at a fitting time) as it were. We ended the day with a lengthy discussion on the pros and cons of the restaurant business. Our guest, Rev. Aaron Fuller is a third generation employee of the...

Woof! 5-Star Shining Dragon

Text us here! Hershall, I really thought a New Year would bring about some change and we did have some goals today but if my memory serves me correctly, I was the only one to keep my goal, as it were... Anyhowever, we did have the church bus rolling down the path of time and you won't be disappointed with where all we stopped today. We made history during the feedback segment. For the first time in Pod'N Me history we had to have a translator (big word for someone who know multiple languages) to...

Strong Families & The Personal Testimony of Rev. Jon Isaacs

Text us here! Hershall, in true Pod'N Me fashion, I was late getting my January interview completed but I do not think you'll be disappointed by what the conversation was about today. I got to hear from a friend and fellow pastor. Rev. Jon Isaacs is here and he shared his personal testimony that should give every youth pastor hope. He then talked about a very important part of his own church ministry and that is where he sets special time out of every year to concentrate on the needs of the fami...

Some Favorite Times on The Church-cast with Hershall

Text us here! That's correct, folks, we have Hershall in studio again today for the third week in a row! We wanted to include some of our favorite moments that have happened on the podcast in 2021. We told a little bit of behind the scenes stuff share our thoughts about when some of the funniest things happened on the podcast! We are certainly grateful for everyone that listens to our material every week & most of all we are thankful to the Lord for allowing us the privilege to be here again...

Stunning Christmas Poetry & Burkhart Overalls with Loretta and The Sunshine Girls

Text us here! Hello Churchcast members, (Hershall is still on the house) First things first, Loretta and The Sunshine Girls (their daughters) sang our opening song. The did awesome, I must say... I sure hate to be the one to brag on the poetry especially since I'm the writer/composer of said piece but I have no one else present to boast for me, but I must say the Christmas poem at the first of the show worked out to be a masterpiece. After hours of hard work, I was able to unveil my newfound (bi...

Christmas Missionary Madness with Hershall

Text us here! Folks, (Hershall is in the studio so I have to type to someone else) we had a service that was in true Pod'N Me style. We started with a throwback to last week when Brad brought Orbison, Willie & Hall in for some tempting Christmas tunes to see if the Deacon would be placed under conviction.... Did I mention in a previous episode that December episodes leading up to Christmas would NOT be serious?? Well, full disclosure, today's episode was no exception. Somewhere along the way...

Christmas Trivue on the Fruitcast

Text us here! Hershall, please hang on to your headwear (fancy word for hat) today. We decided to make the December episodes all fun and games, so if that's not your forte (real fancy word meaning a person's strong interest) then by all means, take a break and tune in in (stuttering sound) January of '22. If it happens to be something you do want to listen to, then here's the program. We start with the Deacon's favorite Christmas artist and he recited the latter (word meaning last but sounding l...

Christmas Choir Practice with Mariah Brock

Text us here! Hershall, It happened... My niece, Mariah Brock was on the podcast at last. We started off the episode with her leading us in a little bit of Christmas choir music. Speaking (or technically typing) of music, this service is filled with music. Some festive (big sounding word) and some other is all I'll say. We had some mighty fine feedback. If you would like to be a part of the feedback segment email us at [email protected]. Find us on Instagram @podn_me. Enjoy! Support the show Conn...

Caught In a Thankful-Go-Round with Hershall

Text us here! Heshall, you have no need that I write unto thee, for thou full well knowest that thou wert present during this entire episode. Nevertheless, for the sake of the podience, I write this thankful description.... (long string of KJV sounding words) After the Deacon "wowed" us with Thanksgiving trivia, we checked in with a few of the guests that we've had on the podcast just to thank them for their contribution to Pod'N Me. We had a lot of laughs and were able to share some very specia...

Ish-bi-benob Nameplates? Probably Not...

Text us here! Hershall, we have a lengthy service today but I know you won't be disappointed. We covered some relevant (big word meaning pertinent *bigger word) topics today. The brethren and I muse (big word meaning to become absorbed by thought) about such things as Tithingman, boots and suits, and we even had a feedbacker that said we have replaced his listening content... among the list was the most popular conservative podcaster. we talked about Un-common names and how hard it is to find a ...

A Brock is Here... Rev. David Brock Jr.

Text us here! Hershall, we had another fan of the show here today. T'was the fulfillment of a promise, although not the exact person that was promised. Mariah Brock will be here in a few weeks. (The Lord be willing) We had another Brock here for church. That would be none other that Rev. David Brock Jr. It was a wonderful conversation with a man who has been an inspiration to me for many years. I feel so honored to have him here today. In spite of many challenges, he has been an overcomer with o...

A Distracted Pod'N Meetin'

Text us here! Hershall, Today we talked about several.... hang on, I'll be right back.. ...ok, I think I'm good. I had to take a phone call. We talked about how easy it is to get distracted just like I did whilst (big word meaning during) in church. During the entire first part of the church-cast today, so me lady was distracted and being distracting. We got that settled and even talked to you as well as called a member of the famed (thanks to this podcast) Brock Family. We have another one to h...

Mostly All About Odie with guest Andrea (Odie) Boggs

Text us here! Hershall, you definitely need no introduction to our guest today because she is your cousin. Nevertheless (three words smashed together), our podience will gain insight (big word meaning a closer look) in the life of our one and only SUPER-FAN. Sis. Odie is one of the greatest humans in the world who has overcome many obstacles and is constant in sharing the true joy of the Lord Jesus to all that she encounters! We had a great time getting to know her better and will certainly allo...

Divisions, Revisions & A BRAND NEW SONG! (by Levitation Worship)

Text us here! Hershall, This was a LONG service today but as you know some of your cousins have asked that we have a long service from time to time. We obliged (big pleasing word) them today! We had a croqu-en-buncha reviews and like to have never made it out of virtual testimony service, if you will. (and I know you will) In the midst (big middle sounding word) of it all we had two very important phone calls with the hosts of another semi-successful podcast, during which, one host tried to move...

The Battle Between Youncin' Brad & Paisley

Text us here! Hershall, This week was a jammin' packed episode. We started with some feedback that included strong criticism (critical word) of Deacon Dustin's choice of fashion. We heard from an anti-souper and we also heard from our Super-fan, Andrea. She gave glowing praise concerning past episodes and love for a segment that we finished with today... NAME THAT TUNE! The contest was between Youncin' Brad and.... well, read the title. The deacon may have a new nickname. During the contest, Bus...

Don't Be Offended on My Account

Text us here! Hershall, today we had a little different format on the program. We gave a teaser in the intro to what is going to happen in today's episode. The next thing we knew, the Deacon was setting us (the Songleader and Your Humble Poderator) straight because he's still offended for The Shedman for his poor treatment on last week's episode about festive decorations.... Speaking of décor, (shorter big word for decorations) I threw out the bait a long way and caught the boys and took several...

Talking to Myself, Song Replays & Large Announcements

Text us here! Hershall, It was quite an episode today! I started with a call from [email protected] which is the name of my email if you want to send feedback. It was requested to hear the Deacon's smash hit again. We also took our intervention of a friend in dire (desperate sounding word) need to the next level. We ended the show today with a GINORMOUS (literal big word) announcement. Stay tuned to the end to hear that but it has to do with a new podcast that just launched this week! Enjoy &...

Three Generations of Pastoral Ministry with Rev. Philip Webb

Text us here! Hershall, as we promised earlier, we got to sit down and hear the personal testimony of Rev. Philip Webb. He is a man that has had a rather unique experience. He is the third generation in pastoral ministry and has had the privilege of pastoring, in his early ministry, the church where his maternal grandfather pastored. He also currently is pastoring the church where is paternal grandfather pastored. He is a fine man with wonderful advice for all of us in the ministry. Enjoy the co...

Rendering Evil after Vacation

Text us here! Hershall, we are sure glad that Deacon Dustin made it back on the Podcast today, but he came back with a proverbial (big word) chip on his shoulder about a mostly innocent letter we had helped last week's guest write on his behalf. After he got all of that taken care of, we moved on to feedback and had some jokes on the program. We even had a studio audience today. We wrapped up the day talking about how we see ourselves compared to others. leave us some feedback if you'd like at d...

A Youth Pastor Pod'N Meetin' with Rev. Matthew Wilson

Text us here! Heshall, You'll soon find out that we have a vacancy (fancy word) today on the show.... The Deacon isn't here again but this time he's vacating (word meaning on vacation) in a far away remote place. The church-cast must continue so we decided to have a youth pastor sub for him. The man is Rev. Matthew Wilson, a longtime friend of mine. He has been in youth ministry for the past 4 years and offers some great insight for the Christian youth of today. He also brought some feedback for...

Abbreviated Names and More Tunes

Text us here! Hersh, as you can see in the title, we spake today in the rabbit trail portion of the show about how some folks get their names abbreviated (big word meaning shortened) and henceforth (a powerful big important sounding word) the reason why I addressed you as Hersh instead of Hershall. Speaking (or typing in my case) of addressing folks, We did some investigative work in the cold call segment of the program and called The Anointed Bass Player aka your bro-in-law aka Deacon J***** D*...

Explanation Points

Text us here! Hershall, the episode went off flawlessly (muchly without flaws) in some regards... My speech was not with enticing words, because I was having trouble speaking and the Deacon & Songleader called me out! We ended today by talking about the how we as a world are once again consuming everything we can from the tree of knowledge. We know how that worked out for the first humans yet we think we can somehow escape their fate. The goal is to know and try to understand God. (Jeremiah ...

They're BACK! Dustin Wakley & Brad Cottrell

Text us here! Hershall, we had a reunion today of sorts. The Deacon and Songleader were back on the church-cast which ye have no need that I write unto you, because you were one that helped welcome the boys back... Speaking of welcoming, we welcomed you to the great state of Oklahoma! We had some great feedback and ended by the boys telling about their recent experiences with Covid, which was the reason for their recent vacancy on the podcast... If you want to be part of the feedback segment, em...

God's Marriage Covenant with guest Rev. Donnie King

Text us here! Hershall, today we have a very gifted guest on the podcast. Pastor Donnie King is who I'm talking about... I know you thought it was the humble host that I was referring to... it was Rev. King. We recently met through a mutual friend and I have already gained such great respect for his knowledge in the Word of God. He talks to me today about the Bible as being a Marriage Covenant between God and mankind and he uses the Jewish wedding customs to prove his point. It was truly a great...

Sesquipedalian Squared (to the 2nd Power or X2)

Text us here! How bout that, Hershall? I put the biggest word possibly that we've ever used in the title! (as well as the description of the second word.... speaking of the second word, the first word was used two times in this EPISODE. Yep, you heard (or technically read) what I said (or technically typed), it was used twice, as in 1 less that thrice (KJV word meaning 3). You likely think that I used it as some of my fancy jargon (a word meaning nothing like it sounds like it SHOULD mean), but ...

Preacher's Kids in Studio 7 with Britton, Brooks & Trey

Text us here! Hershall, we had several new things happen today while the deacon and the song leader was absent. First of all, we recorded in Studio 7. It was an (h)onor to be in a new plush studio with two, that's correct, TWO new guests. My two eldest offspring (big word meaning children) agreed to come on the show. My second-born son, Brooks, even brought a scripture to interpret (big word meaning explain which is what I'm doing right now) for us. We had a couple corny knee slappers and then e...

Brutish Pastors & Have You Talked with God Today?

Text us here! Hershall, we here we are at episode 61 or 62 since we had a once a month episode last week, but who’s counting…. We had a selfie taken on air which is a first here on the show. The deacon used the Bible as a weapon against the (h)umble podereator. I survived all the criticism and stay in the service til the end. Toward the end we talked about the importance of a daily encounter with the Lord God. It got rather challenging. Thanks for listening and we love to hear your feedback. If ...

Intro Songwriting Contest & Name That Tune

Text us here! Hershall, without giving too much away, we had a anonymous (secret-ly big word) listener send in more than feedback... we got a song in the mail. It came straight from the recording studio and we were able to debut (first appearing word) it on today's EPISODE. Chaos (word pronounced (KAY-OSS) ensued... we ended up playing name that tune. Enjoy and send feedback to [email protected] and look us up on Instagram @podn_me. We read all your comments and you are welcomed to send any of us...

Pod'N Me Bored Meeting with Dustin Wakley & Brad Cottrell

Text us here! Hersh, as you well know, we sometimes change things up on Pod'N Me.We did just that today and made the executive (upper level sounding word) decision to have a discussion with the two regulars on the show about where they came from and where we are today. This is our once a month episode and failed to secure an interview with a guest so I talked to Dustin & Brad about their own personal experiences. we even took time to brag on you, Hershall. The deacon & song leader really...

Ear Lozenges, Endless Review & Favorite Music

Text us here! Hershall, You need to fasten your proverbial seatbelt today.... Virtual church went a little long. You got a cold call from us and after that, we had a review that got the show clogged up so bad that we felt like we were at a virtual word-salad smorgasbord (big word meaning a buffet of variety). The reviewer used up 79% or less of the English language. After all of that goodness, we let the Deacon control the music selection and take us down memory lane.... Send us feed back if you...
