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!

Deacon's Big Speech & Poitree

Text us here! Hershall, this is the most devastating day... We had a chance to redeem ourselves in the Christmas Name that Tune segment and we all failed except for one and that was Deacon Dustin, the man who can't pronounce poetry.... Before all that happened though, we had a very solid selection of a holiday gift guide for the ladies, I delivered the greatest Christmas Joke of all time, and other things happened that slip my mind as we type... (or I type) We finished strong with our final inst...

Fruitcakes & Gift Advice

Text us here! Hersh, the folks are going to feel valued after today. We spent time giving advice to the ladies on what to buy their men for Christmas. Most of the items we discussed were given a green light by the men in Studio 18. We also ate a fruitcake on air and were persuasive enough to get the Emma-fluencer and Loretta to chaw (big word for chew in the past tense) on some of the festive cake. In the end the Chips had a disastrous day discussing an overweight aunt of theirs named Vaxine or ...

Dustin's Wig and the Christmas Chips

Text us here! Hershall, it was so good to have you here for the first installment of the Christmas 2024 episodes. We found out some stuff here today, per usual. But, one of the greatest things we found out was that our Deacon used to wear a wig. We reviewed a very helpful Christmas gift guide because it is our intentions to help with our audience in their endeavors to shop for their significant friends and family. We finished by hearing from the ever popular Christmas Chip-monks with an added Ge...

A Thanksgiving Train Wreck

Text us here! Hersh, fair warning here, this episode is a complete eye-roller. I did my best to annoy my co-hosts and was 100% successful! I seamlessly worked some of the worst jokes and Thanksgiving trivia throughout this entire episode. The annoyance was so bad that Deacon Dustin was requesting that the recording equipment be unplugged from the wall... Anyway, we do want everyone to have a Happy and filling Thanksgiving Day...

Emceeing, Vehicle Maintenance & A Tribute

Text us here! Hershall, it's something to think that we are midway to mostly thru the month of November. As you surely remember, this is the month of my nativity (a biblical way to say birth). The boys never forget that and so I acknowledged that today. We talked about a recent invitation to be the M. C. (abbreviation for Master of Ceremonies- side note- why is it possible/acceptable to spell this word as it sounds? See title) at a Gala (big word for fundraiser) for Macy's Cradle, a nonprofit th...

A Taste of Pod'N Z with Josh Smith

Text us here! Hershall, we have a change up for you this week. We decided to allow Brooks (Gen Z Boy) to host an episode to give all of our listeners a taste of what happens over on our premium content show called Pod'N Z. We had a guest on here via the telephone that shared many things with us. He's no stranger to Pod'N Me, Mr. Josh Smith! We talked about some hard hitting topics such as Jack-A-Lopes, Memorial Highways and even delved (big word) into some childhood fears. We missed the Deacon a...

Freeing Time and Naming Lyrics

Text us here! Hersh, right out of the gate (proverbial comparative saying about racehorses) we talked about how our time is held hostage and boy di it ever get serious. We followed that with feedback and heard from some of our listeners about how we're doing with this trash-cast. We ended the program today with our beloved song leader bringing the red-back hymn book in for a random challenge of guessing the lyrics. It is the more sanctimonious version of Name That Tune except with the same level...

Devin's a Cliffhanger

Text us here! Hershall, good to hear from you again today on this episode. It has been a while since we have heard your voice. Before we called though, we had much to talk about. I told of a near danger experience I had on our annual Men's Camp Trip which the boys tried their best not to let me tell all that happen as it happened. We also had some feedback and during that segment, our song leader gave a lil lesson to ole Gee Z Boy. It was quite a combo-nation. All in all, we had a good time. Enj...

Dealing With Besetting Sins (Pastoral Series)

Text us here! Hershall, we are on the final day of our pastoral series with Rev. Jon Brock, Rev. Davin Burnett and Rev. Jon Isaacs. I am fully convinced that this is the most important conversation I have ever had on this podcast. I hope that many people will listen and hopefully gain some insight on how to handle this sensitive topic of besetting sin. The discussion centered over one particular sin of pornography and for that reason, I gave a disclaimer at the beginning of the episode that pare...

Sunday School & Sacraments (Pastoral Series)

Text us here! Hersh, we're back again for day two of our Pastoral Series. Today we talked about the significance of Sunday School and how challenged we feel to allow that practice to become a time where we look into the Word of God. We acknowledged some weaknesses in our own ministries when we view teaching as unnecessary. We also talked about another often neglected part of our worship experiences and that is the sacraments of the Lord's Supper and Baptism in water. Pastors Jon Brock, Davin Bur...

Defining Success in the Ministry (Pastoral Series)

Text us here! Hershall, for this week we decided to do something completely different. That is have a series (you know how pastors love series') of episodes on Pastoral Ministry. Being that it is Pastor Appreciation Month, I wanted to have some conversations hopefully giving a glimpse of some of the things that we grapple with in pastoral ministry. I have three men that have been guests previously on Pod'N Me together in Studio 18 to discuss the topics at hand. They are Pastor Jon Brock from Kel...

Quavering Voices Living In the Moment

Text us here! Hershall, I trust that all is well with you... I hope we can hear from you soon but at least you're getting to hear from us. Today you will hear a bunch of valuable information (as always) such as: my huge apology, what it's like when the Deacon using his favorite service leading voice. We had some traveling talk where I revealed how I recently turned into a full blown mechanic and also noticed a very peculiar (big word) sight of an airplane in the sky (sort of)... We also talked a...

Graceful Ways to Say Good Night

Text us here! Hershall, check your voicemail... we had to leave you a message when you failed to take our call. we had some big news to share about our great success. Before all of that happened though, we talked about the gift of grace. It got so serious that we couldn't even feel worthy to use the normal feedback sound. We explored some different topics like whether we are supposed to lick our fingers after chip consumption. I shared some recent feedback that caused me to feel very conflicted....

Text us here! Hershall, as promised, we tell all about our recent trip to the Men of Faith Conference in Ohio. We detailed almost every moment including a pizza run in Dink's vehicle.

Concrete Paw & Deacon Brett Cottrell

Text us here! Hershall, we have a substitute sitting in the Deacon's chair, but that doesn't mean that we are going to have a sub-par (big word for not as good) experience. The beloved Deacon is out this week on vacation and we had a wonderful time with the twin to our Songleader, Bro. Brett Cottrell. He has been a guest here before but it has been a while. We talked about the care of Puppet (Deacon Dustin's fur baby) whilst the Wakleys are on vacation. It was complete with advice during our jok...

The Feet-washing Debate with Hershall & Loretta

Text us here! Hersh, it’s finally here… the time we’ve all been waiting for. We decided to release the highly un-anticipated episode that settled the debate on whether we should observe the traditional washing of feet or not. This was recorded several months ago with we and our wives. Due to a heavy traval schedule, we were unable to record our regular show so I felt it was a prime time to let the world here that we had made some definitive decisions on this topic. Take a listen and see if you a...

The Molasses Disaster of '24 with Josh Smith

Text us here! Hersh, I usually take this time to apologize at this point for all that is wrong with the episode. I'm sorry, but I'm not able to do that this time. The reason being, It would be an immensurable (big word meaning endless amount) calculation of apologies. We had Josh Smith (formerly known as Rev. Josh Smith) back here today and in the middle of the show I officially stripped us all of our spiritual titles. The overwhelming theme that came up was a historical fact that I brought up a...

Rev. Smith & Friends (Olan & Walter Mills)

Text us here! Hershall, we started out to cleanse the program and that wasn't completely successful. Brooks is out this week but we still heard from his heartbroken self via a phone call at the beginning of the program. We did have a wonderful sup that will be here again next week. T'was (big combination word) the old familiar voice Rev. Josh Smith. As the title states, he brings with him friends. Dink Burbank, the News Anchor (sometimes) of Pod'N Me, as well as an update from Sis. Connie of the...

Passion Week with Rev. Nathan Wood

Text us here! Hershall, Rev. Nathan Wood and I sat down for a discussion on the most Holy Week in history, the week that our Lord Jesus gave his life for the sins of the world. Our holy substitute, paid the ultimate price because we could never pay. Bro. Nathan gives great insight to some of the events that took place that week and it's always in order to observe those, no matter the time of year. God bless and Enjoy!

Reprimands, Awakenings & Basement Bargains

Text us here! Hershall, as promised, I did as it was commanded in the Word and did some of my first works over. Some of those included calling you and starting over. We fired the boys because of their disrespect from last week and if wasn't no time til they showed back up in the studio. Well, I think they got the message... Speaking if messages, we had a long discussion that could've turned into a sermon. It was a needful talk about the Great Awakening. I also debuted (big word) a new character ...

One Endless Day (Speaker’s Nightmare)

Text us here! Hershall, my deepest most sincerity in apology of apologies for this week’s program. You know full well that I have built a strong legacy of truth in broadcasting here over the last years and you also known the risk I’ve ran of late whilst being absent a few weeks ago. Well, it happened again today and I thought after delivering an austere (big -biblical- word for stern) diatribe (even bigger word for angry speech) to the crew (formally know as christian brothers), that they would ...

Learning Something New in Prayer

Text us here! Hershall, things started off today fairly rough when the boys began to rail on me about what they considered a much softer stance on music by yours truly... They love to take things out of context. We powered through that and had a very serious conversation about some recent personal experiences with the power of prayer. Hopefully the conversation will be an encouragement to the folks! We also had some of the regular stuff such as feedback and finished up with a very strong Name Th...

Brooks, The Auctioneer

Text us here! Hersh, when I got back to Studio 18 I had some cleanup work to do, and you know I'm not afraid to do just that! The boys got a lil outa control when I was absent last week... but as you know, not everything goes as planned. So, when I sat out to straighten them up a bit, they all turned on me and in the end they absolutely buried me by taking something I said out of the original context. Typing of original context, Deacon Dustin completely took an O.T. (short abbreviation for the H...

A Coup (big word for political takeover)

Text us here! Hershall, I have been replaced…. (tears, boos, and crowd deafening jeers) I know you’re terribly disappointed. Just to let you know what happened- I had to be absent from this episode and Brooks took my seat on this trash heap. (Now would be a good time to let you in on this secret: it’s not permanent. I plan to be back next week.) For anyone wondering what Pod’N Z is like, take a listen today. Of course it took very little time for the boys to be persuaded to persecute and undermi...

Brad, who you know so well, talking about some random things in his life and we ended up getting into some serious stuff!

Spiritual Gambling & Life Coaches

Right off the bat (a baseball term used for explaining how quick something happened), Gen Z Boy Brooks attacked pioneer works. He also tells a story about how he revealed the truth about his hate for reading the Bible to a recent visiting minister, of all people! I cut Brad's ear off (hint: it was verball...

We got to discuss the events of the last Youth Camp week that left us all parched. We lacked a constant water supply which caused a great deal of struggle. All of the bragging we did last week, we had to apologize for...
