Joe and Jimmy ditched their schedule topic and wind up talking about a church dating app. They are thinking out loud as the talk abut the idea. They don't like it, but are they being too hard? Are they just too old to understand?Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Jimmy and Joe step into the subject of suicide, asking what qualifies as suicide, and why should we take it seriously? What does the Bible say about suicide? Is suicide a sin? Is it “the unforgivable sin”? Plus, Jimmy hangs out with Tom Ricketts and Joe sets off alarms at the hospital. If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts please talk to your pastor, your family, or call the Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.

Joe and Jimmy are back and offer up a real episode on the discipline of silence and solitude. Yes, back in 2017 we published an April Fool’s joke that some of you fell for. Forget that. This is the real deal. Is solitude a biblical discipline? Why does it matter, and how should we do it? We encourage you to pick up Don Whitney’s book, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life to go deeper. DOCTRINE AND DEVOTION IS COMING TO TEXAS! Our Southwest Conference is going down on Saturday, March 21 at 10:00 a.m. in Burleson, TX at Graceview Baptist Church. Our theme for this one-day micro conference is Contending for the Gospel: Protecting Orthodoxy and Promoting Unity. Joe Thorn and Jimmy Fowler will teach four sessions exploring how we contend for the faith against heresy and false doctrine with those outside the church, as well as those inside the church. The conference will conclude at 4:00 p.m. after a live recording of the Doctrine and Devotion Podcast. Tickets are just $40 when purchased in advance, and only a limited number are available.
