Joe and Jimmy answer a listener’s email about 1 Cor. 11:14 and Paul’s statement, “Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him.” Is long hair inherently feminine? Does the Bible allow long hair for men? How long is too long? What is really at issue here? Plus, Joe teases his appearance on the Babylon Bee Podcast. DOCTRINE AND DEVOTION IS COMING TO TEXAS!

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

Joe and Jimmy are joined by Richard Clark (no, not that one) to talk about the whole enneagram phenomenon. What is the enneagram, and is it something we should be wary of, or does it have some value? You can check out the book, The Road Back to You, for a positive perspective, and Kevin DeYoung's critique here. CT also has an article called The Enneagram for Pastors that you can check out. Richard is the co-founder Christ in Pop Culture, and the director of editorial development for CT Pastors and Preaching Today at Christianity Today. Richard also hosts The Calling podcast, which you should definitely check out.
