Today Joe and Jimmy answer some listener email. What do the guys think about church leaders who are protesting state orders regarding the quarantine? When does our not meeting together as local churches in the current crisis become “forsaking” the assembly? Would house churches be a better missional approach in expensive city contexts than a more “traditional” approach? Plus, more questions and Joe freestyles. OUR SPONSOR The ministry landscape is changing. More and more, pastors need to be equipped with rigorous theological training as well as job skills to make a living where God has called you. That’s why Southeastern Seminary has created the M.Div.-M.B.A. in just 4 years, you can graduate from a theologically rigorous M.Div. program at Southeastern and have the practical job skills of an M.B.A. With leading Baptist scholars like Bruce Ashford, Ben Merkle, and John Hammett, there’s no better time to start your theological training today.

The guys sit down to discuss the Southern Baptist Convention—what’s good, and what’s bad. They’ve done this a few times (here and here, for example), but this is a response to questions about where the JoFo lands on some current controversies. It is sure to not satisfy everyone. What is good in the SBC, and what’s wrong in the SBC? LIsten up!

Jimmy and Joe are back from Vegas, share a bit about the trip, and then jump into “religion.” Why are so many Christians opposed to the word? Who is responsible for pitting “religion” against the gospel, and why is it Tim Keller? What does the Bible say about the word, and does this really matter?RESOURCESThe Baptist CatechismA Scriptural Exposition of the Baptist Catechism by Benjamin BeddomeRead Beddome’s Exposition online for free here.
