Sometimes being on a platform obscures the view of the work and preparation it takes to serve well. This goes beyond the ministry context. We see it played out in sports, business, public speaking, etc. Nearly every time someone does something excellent, they make it look easy... but it's not. So you have a call from God on your life. What do you do next? Run up on the first stage you find? How do I move forward? The guys get real about their journey into ministry. We hope this episode serves yo...

The guys discuss the chaos and confusion of American political 'silly season.' Stick around for an illustration involving fireworks and the moon.

Christians have all kinds of phrases that don't come from Scripture. There's even more sayings and proverbs that sound biblical that culture often attributes to the church that aren't backed up by Scripture.

If you think of a few more, please feel free to drop us a note below: We reference Episode 86 of the Naked Bible Podcast on the Head Covering of 1 Corinthians 11. Here's the ...
