The guys sit down with the super tall author, podcaster, self-professed curmudgeon, Barnabas Piper, to talk about friendship. Jimmy and Joe have addressed this topic in the past (here and here), but they really wanted to hear Barnabas' perspective. What is friendship and why is it so important to a full and healthy life? What does it take to be a good friend? It's a great conversation that will help you think more deeply about friendship.  Be sure to check out Barnabas' website, podcast, and, follow him on Twitter. And you can dig deep with Barnabas by checking out his books, like The Curious Christian and Help My Unbelief.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Jimmy and Joe bring back Pastor Pat to talk about pastoral care. Pat is one of our closest friends, and someone we love to work along side in the ministry at Redeemer Fellowship. Pat is the “Community Life Pastor” at Redeemer and the official babysitter of the Jofo. What is the nature of pastoral care? how do churches get it wrong? What should pastors be prioritizing in their shepherding of the people?Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
