Jimmy and Joe are back from the annual Doctrine and Devotion conference to talk a bit about the discouragement of pastors in 2020. Why is this year so hard, and why do so many pastors appear to be ready to leave their churches? Then the guys look at John Piper’s “Thirty Reasons Why It Is a Great Thing to Be a Pastor” from his updated book, The Supremacy of God in Preaching. Plus, we announce a winner for the ESV Reader’s Bible Giveaway, Jimmy learns there is no fight in Vegas, and Joe gets a last minute invite to go to “Sin City.”
