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!

Preaching Advice and Youth Camp Stories

Text us here! Hershall, today got rather serious and it happened rather fast. Gen Z Boy, Brooks came in talking about a sermon he heard recently that was dated and the topic had lost some relevance and that spurred (cowboy sounding word) a long conversation that was more ministerial advice than anything (and I know for a fact that we aren't authorized to give out that kind of advice). We finally finished that segment and I played a song as I do sometimes that interfered with a new segment we had...

T-Shirt Witnessing and the Collywobbles

Text us here! Hershall, we had to deal with a bunch of things during the recording process. For instance, the Deacon had some technical difficulties with his headphones. when that happened I paused the show and forgot to push record again and it costed us about six minutes of the most underwhelming content that we'll never get back. We followed that with some wonderful discussion about how Christians witnessed in the 80s and 90s with some great T-shirt material. Then we had a colossal (big word ...

Onishambles and Peezle-trees

Text us here! Hersh, I wilI be the first to admit, the titles of these episodes are getting more and more ridiculous. (I think I not only will be but now was) I just hope that the trend doesn't mean that the podcast itself is going down that same trajectory (big word meaning fast flying path). In my defense, it is a challenge to come up with catchy titles which is also part of what we talked about... catchy sermon titles. We also did a new segment by Gen Z boy that included us ascribing a story ...

Uncle Stank & Sister Skettyleg

Text us here! Hershall, I hope all is well there where you are where ever there might be... (lots of there's and where's there) The crew was all back in Studio 18 for an action packed show. I do mean what I say because at one point toward the end of the episode, Deacon Dustin was very affrighted (big word for frightened in the past tense and since this episode was recorded in the past tense I chose to use that big word). The reason for his fear was a person came by studio 18 window and her face ...

Campmeeting: Hypocrisy with Rev. Jon Brock

Text us here! Hershall, we've had a wonderful 4th annual camp meeting and this is the final day. It's hard to believe another year has come and gone. We actually checked in with you at the beginning of the episode and were already under conviction about the serious content that we debated about whether we are going to be able to continue the podcast. I thing we will try to be back next Wednesday and see what to do from there. Bro. Jon Brock discusses the subject of what it means to be a hypocrit...

Campmeeting: Macy's Cradle with Rev. & Mrs. Jon Brock

Text us here! Hershall, day two of camp meeting we checked in with our Songleader to see why he's absent this year. He has a legitimate reason so we gave him an excused absence. For our serious portion we talked to Rev. Jon and Sis. Tamara Brock about a new ministry endeavor that is called Macy's Cradle. It is a wonderful work and if you want more information about it check them out at macyscradle.com. God bless and enjoy! Support the show Connect with us at https://www.podnme.org/ https://youtu...

Campmeeting: with the Ingrams and Birdsongs

Text us here! Hershall, day one of our 4th annual camp meeting is here. There are a few missing in the studio but Gen Z boy and your humble pastor checked in with the Deacon to get the scoop. We finished the day with some history making serious content with a rare occurrence of our wives, Sis. Hannah and Sis. Amanda, agreeing to be on here. I hope the world enjoys hearing their voices.

Eunoria, Chin Bushes, & A Horrible Segment

Text us here! Hersh, I hope you don't quit listening to the podcast over this episode. I don't remember asking this before but we could use grace and please give us a chance to redeem ourselves next week during the annual Pod'N Me Campmeeting. We discussed extra letters in my name, murder mysteries, a word of the week that ended up being another sister to a now famous girl that me & Dustin one time dated (hint Piphnee's newest sister) (hence the Name in the title). *editor's note- can you ha...

Graduation Recap & AI Voices

Text us here! Hershall, Good news: the boys are back and did we ever have a day! We start off with a recapturing of the Gen Z boy's graduation. Let me tell you, Hersh, twas a grand ole discussion. During the feedback the boys spend a while giving all of us men of the cloth (big sounding phrase used to describe the ministry) some preaching advice. Which, of course, you know they have great advice. We then talked about some more germs along with bathroom hairdryers. We had a great review that incl...

Practical Advice for Reading the Bible with Rev. Nathan Wood

Text us here! Hershall, This is a continued discussion that I had with Rev. Nathan Wood concerning our relationship with the Bible.

Driving Etiquette & Humble Interpretations

Text us here! Hersh, we had another day here on Pod'N Me. That's the only way I know how to describe it. The boys went on a several big rants whilst I tried to keep hold of the wheel. we had several close calls.... They started off by talking about driving rules that they made themselves. In the feedback section, we had an opportunity to allow our deacon to interpret a humble testimony by Gen Z Boy and it didn't disappoint. We had a "Sentence of the Week" rather than a Word and even had a string...

To Be Honest, We Love Dogs

Text us here! Hershall, today is a wonderful day on the virtual church cast. I allowed Bro. Brooks to start the program and he did a wonderful rendition (big word) of Deacon Dustin leading service in my absence. We moved from there to speak about the importance of keeping our word and it got plum (rural idiom to describe an extreme amount of something) convicted. After that we had some feedback during which the Songleader, Brad Cottrell, suggested that Dustin start a ministry doing Kid's Crusade...

Our Relationship with the Bible with Rev. Nathan Wood

Text us here! Hershall, as we announced a few weeks back we are doing an interview series as some bonus content. Thanks to our Patreon supporters, we are able to produce more content that is free to the listeners. This will be the first of several shorter episodes that I recorded with Rev. Nathan Wood. He is a pastor friend that has been on Pod'N Me before during our campmeeting episodes last year. We discussed what our relationship with the Bible has been like over the years. I hope that what i...

Talking to Our Hearts & Piph-nee's Sister

Text us here! Hershall, We finally did it... I know, it's been a while but we had a serious conversation. But that was after we received an unexpected call from you. We heard Deacon Dustin's new motorcycle and talked about Robert-wire tattoos. In the feedback segment we heard found out, through a mispronunciation, that an ole favorite from a Christmas episode, Piph-nee, has a sister named Heth'r. (the previous sentence had entirely too many commas) We had a wonderful rendition (big word) of the ...

Moped Gangs and Chicklamels

Text us here! Hershall, what a catastrophe (big word that looks like it's pronounced 'cǎt-ǔh-strōf') this episode became. I don't even know where to start in explaining but we started talking about dentistry and it quickly was morphed (another big word) in to talking about eye whitening and peeeenched jaws. I shared a childhood teeth correcting trauma (big word) of mine. I then read an email from a valued listener that revealed the possibility of Deacon Dustin having the appearance of a man in a...

Deacon Dustin Was Raptured and Theories Conspired

Text us here! Hersh, first of all, thanks for your assistance in trying to help us locate the Deacon. We ended up calling you first and when you couldn't find him, we called our investigative journalist, Dink Burbank. He worked on the case for a little bit, to no avail (big word for productive end). Come to find out, an event involving a Rapture had a great deal to do with his whereabouts.... you'll see. After we settled that we strapped on a tin foil hat we borrowed from Bro. Brad and went down...

Buttons, Burbank & Billy Bob

Text us here! Hersh, buckle up.... This is a day and a half packed in an hour. We had so much happen today that I can't even recall it all. We had some wonderful button history, talked about things that are obsolete, had a wonderful gospel song in the beginning. Editor's Note: after the song was played I tried to call a good friend of mine that is a southern gospel historian of sorts. He didn't answer the phone -and I edited that all out- but texted later in the recording and so I called him at ...

Resurrection Week Revisited with Rev. Tim Hudson

Text us here! Hershall, This year for this Holy Week we decided to do something that we've not done just yet on the podcast. That is, to revisit an earlier episode of Pod'N Me. After almost four years of recording episodes on this podcast, there are many things that happened in the past on this show that has been so meaningful. One of those moments happened three years ago on Easter week. I had a good friend on here to talk about the significance of this week to the world. This one fact is the v...

Decorating at Shechem with Jacob Wakley of Old

Text us here! Hershall, I'm glad you're here, if you are. In the course of the usual turn of events we had a many topic-ed service today on the trash-cast. We ended the program with the ever popular "Name That Tune" segment, but to begin with, we had a rather bitter start. It seemed that the feedback along with the general attitude of the boys was a touch on the bitter side. We did finally manage to bring the show around but the bitterness crept (big word for past tense of creeped which is also ...

Qwin-o Chips & Warshin' Hands

Text us here! Hersh, we had a special guest on today. It is the Deacon's son... what a privilege it was to have him today. We took a poll on the Patreon page (see support link below) and asked who would be a suitable next guest on Pod'N Me and the voters decided a member of the family of our Deacon was their choice. We had a wild ride today. This is a Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten Free episode... speaking of that, I had a little slip of the vision when trying to read the label on the bag of provender t...

Detoxing, Su'dees & Cadoo's

Text us here! Hershall, t'was a pleasure to hear your voice on the airwaves today. I was especially phelgmatic (big word for not showing emotion), yet very ecstatic (big word) about your kind acceptance of the new premium content that we released at the first of the month. After we said goodbye, we had some feedback and that's where the concerning title came in... one of our listeners was asked to detox (big word for get un-addicted) from Pod'N Me. We also covered some very important topics like...

The Grand Marshall of Pod'N Me, Rev. David Brimm

Text us here! Hershall, It was big doin's (lesser words meaning large performances) on Pod'N Me today.... Though I have interviewed our guest today, he has ne'er (little word meaning never) been in Studio 18 to record in person with us. His name is Rev. David Brimm and he is the guy that I called to get advice from when I was contemplating (big word for thinking about) the start of this trash heap of a podcast. I always wanted to have someone to blame I guess. We made much ado (little word that ...

Phobias and A Change to the Show

Text us here! Hersh, you read it right we have some big changes on the way this week that is completely explained in the episode today. I know you won't be disappointed with the collaborative (big word for combined faculties of mental brainstormability) efforts that we used to arrive at the change referenced in the title. Before we talked about the change, we had quite a lengthy discussion about phobias (big word for unbalanced fears) that we have. Fair warning, Deacon Dustin is scared of someth...

A Gallon-tine's Day Party

Text us here! Hershall, you read it correctly, if you did. Here it is another special pagan holiday that we as Christian's can all unite behind and I certainly hope you took our reminder last week and got Loretta something special to show your unwavering devotion to her.... Enough about you guys, let me tell you what happened here today. We had a fuliginous (big word of the week) time today. There was certainly some virtual soot that was sprayed upon the airwaves. We started off by my presentati...

The Favorite Child and Pastor Brad

Text us here! Hersh, you read it right, our very own Songleader had tried his hand at politics and now he is taking over as pastor here at Pod'N Me. (I'm quite sure he's not going to make it in the ministry but he gives it his best shot today. We had Bryce, my youngest son to here today to talk about who is the favorite child in this household as well as include some trivia for a beloved cow-dog in his life. Gen Z Boy was also here to do a very special Name That Tune segment in preparation for n...

IN the Minister's Conference & Wearing Earwigs

Text us here! Hershall, you need not that I should write unto thee concerning the former portion of the title, because thou wast there. (previous string of words was KJV sounding) I am referring to your presence at the Minister's Conference that I attended last week and which you are a part of because your father implored (big word for beg) you to be. I have attended this particular conference on occasion but none was so much embarrassing for me as this year. I gave our audience the 'behind the ...

Tabor Your Neighbor

Text us here! Hersh, may I ask a question? Do you like it when a preacher gets up and asks for you to turn to your neighbor (the person to the left or right of you on the church -not your actual neighbor) and tell said person something that the preacher said to say? (If you're keeping track, I asked two questions) Well, we have a new way of approaching your neighbor/person beside you in church. After all, you tune in to this show every week to learn valuable stuff and we keep delivering. We talk...

President Brad-en & The Dorkies Group

Text us here! Hershall, it's always good to be with you. Every week you show up and we try our best to do the same. Well, I don't really know how to describe what happened today. We did have an important update on Dink Burbank for those that are worried about his absence. We found out that Deacon Dustin has lived most of his spiritual life going from glen to glen and even to dales (words that dual as men's names and vales).... That realization came from a conversation we had about songs that use...

Handling Promotion & Bifurcating Eyelids

Text us here! Hershall, how about that title? Yep, you can tell by the title that we had some varied topics, which is something I know you've come to expect. We started out the Deacon had an ailment (big word for health problem) that he asked our advice on how to handle... then as I do because I am a minister, I turned the discussion to a more spiritual topic. We discussed how we are supposed to handle promotion in the kingdom of God. We had some feedback that caused the resident homeschooler (B...
