SBC 22 Review
The Southern Baptist Convention went down in Anaheim, CA last week. Joe was there and share some highlights: the race for the Pastors Conference president, the SATF recommendations, Barber vs Ascol, and Rick Warren’s humble bragging. But first, the guys celebrate Jimmy’s 40th birthday. Big thanks to everyone who sent in cards for the Fofo.
