Joe and Jimmy talk about godliness—specifically, the characteristic of knowledge and its relationship to godliness. They open up Thomas Watson's The Godly Man's Picture and look at ch 4, section 1. If you have the Puritan Paperback version by Banner of Truth flip over to page 20. The mailbag is opened up and the guys talk about church division and Calvinism. Plus, Jimmy knows Joe's heart, but doesn't know the meaning of “slobberknocker,.” Oh, and Joe eats gizzards.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Jimmy is back to talk about The Masked Singer, but Joe works hard at keeping him focused on the value of small groups, a Twitter conversation started by Pastor Steve Meister, and the puritan discipline of Holy Conference. Plus, Joe’s “thicket” made it onto the Babylon Bee, and Jimmy places extra burdens on members’ backs at Redeemer Fellowship. Get the book Godly Conversations by Joanne Jung for a deep dive into the puritan practice of “holy conference.” Get it. You won’t be disappointed.

Jimmy and Joe are all over the 1689 Confession, Chapter 14, paragraph 1, talking about saving faith. If saving faith is our trust in Jesus, how is it a grace of God? How is faith normally “wrought” in an individual, and how can we strengthen our faith?
