Better Resolutions
Happy New Year, suckas! Almost. As Jimmy and Joe wrap up 2017 they sit down to talk about the idea of resolutions. Earlier this year the guys covered Resolutions and Repentance, but in this episode they talk about what makes a resolution good. But first, just for fun, they walk through some of the “resolutions” passed by the Southern Baptist Convention. Some are a bit crazy. Some are good. You can search all the resolutions passed by the SBC here. You ready for the new Doctrine and Devotion website? It's days away. Before its launch on January 1 the website will be down for a day or two. But the podcast feed will keep running, so there will be no down time or delay on our audio.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

5 Principles for Better Devotionals
Joe and Jimmy are hanging out in the cigar shop talking about how to best prepare to lead a group of people in “devotions.” Christians are often asked to lead a group in a “devotional,” meaning, share something good from the word of God for those in attendance. But how can we do it well? The guys offer five pieces of advice to lead a group in better devotionals. And the guys introduce the Doctrine and Devotion “RANSOM” Bible Study Method. You can expect more on that in the future. Plus, why do fit people stretch so much in public, and why do people steal material from famous, current preachers? Five Principles to Help You Prepare and Lead a Devotional Talk 1. Always Be in the Word 2. Distill the Main idea 3. Address Points of Application (to your life, and then to others) 4. Keep it Brief 5. Be Confident and Don't ApologizeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
