Joe and Jimmy are back and offer up a real episode on the discipline of silence and solitude. Yes, back in 2017 we published an April Fool’s joke that some of you fell for. Forget that. This is the real deal. Is solitude a biblical discipline? Why does it matter, and how should we do it? We encourage you to pick up Don Whitney’s book, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life to go deeper. 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.

While at the Doctrine and Devotion Conference in New Zealand this year Jimmy and Joe sat down with Pastor Nick Clevely of Covenant Grace Baptist Church (Timaru, New Zealand) to talk about the cult in his back yard and what he and his church were led to do about it. After you hear this story we hope you will be encouraged to preach the gospel and love the lost with works of grace following your words of grace.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

It's our first episode! Thanks for checking it out. As this was our first attempt to record a podcast with little equipment and a lot of ignorance please forgive the quality of our audio. Many mistakes were made—like Jimmy being afraid of the mic and sitting too far from it. But all of this is now being addressed by a professional–the very talented Justin Bond of J. Bond Media. So you can expect a better experience all round next week! But what we got for our first episode was still a lot of fun and we think it will be an encouragement to you. This week we're talking about “backsliding:” What it is, how we find our way into it and out of it. We also share some great books that have been helpful to us in our own struggles with sin and failure.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
