The guys are nearing the end of their five part series on The Five Kinds of Calvinists, today talking about the “Straw Calvinist.” This is the Calvinist that really doesn't exist. It's the “straw man” created by opponents of Calvinism through misunderstanding (most of the time) or intentional misrepresentation (much less of the time). They each take a turn addressing a popular strawman.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Joe and Jimmy read an email from a listener about handling abusive church members. What does a pastor do when a member, or a group of members, in the church begin to attack and slander him?

You know Missional Wear: christian tees, mugs, prints, and more, all reflecting good theology. But now they are producing amazing statue-busts of some of the great theologians.

The JoFo is back in the 1689 Confession talking through Chapter 25 on marriage. Is a document written over 300 years ago still relevant when it speaks on marriage? What is the purpose of marriage? Does marriage make a person whole? Are singles somehow incomplete apart from this sacred bond? DOCTRINE AND DEVOTION IS COMING TO TEXAS! Our Southwest Conference is going down on Saturday, March 21 at 10:00 a.m. in Burleson, TX at Graceview Baptist Church. Our theme for this one-day micro conference is Contending for the Gospel: Protecting Orthodoxy and Promoting Unity. Joe Thorn and Jimmy Fowler will teach four sessions exploring how we contend for the faith against heresy and false doctrine with those outside the church, as well as those inside the church. The conference will conclude at 4:00 p.m. after a live recording of the Doctrine and Devotion Podcast. Tickets are just $40 when purchased in advance, and only a limited number are available.
