Joe and Jimmy recorded an episode on Dr. Paige Patterson's remarks about women, abuse, and how women are treated in the evangelical church in general. But before we could publish this episode there were further developments. So we have added an update to the front of the episode addressing the SBC President's remarks on the Patterson situation, and Dr. Patterson's apology. So the first 16 minutes of this episode is the response to the most recent stuff, and then the original recording begins.

Julie Roys, Journalism, and James MacDonald
Today the guys share their conversation with journalist, author, and speaker Julie Roys. They discuss the role of journalism as it relates to local churches and prominent leaders, and her her current work investigating Harvest Bible Chapel and Pastor James MacDonald. If you find yourself unaware of the recent controversy and scandal surrounding the megachurch pastor, you can read Julie’s article in World Magazine, Hard Times at Harvest, and her recent follow up at her own blog. In short, pastor James MacDonald is accused by many former elders, staff, and church members of serious sin. Why would Julie write about all this? Isn’t it just gossip? We ask her, so listen in and find out. Why would we have Julie on to talk about all this? Because we care about the local church, and find ourselves ministering to . a lot of people who have come out of Harvest disillusioned and hurting. You can follow Julie on Twitter at @reachjulieroys. Be sure to check out Julie’s website at julieroys.com, and her book, Redeeming the Feminine Soul: God’s Surprising Vision for Womanhood.

The 1689 on Good Works (16:5-7)
The guys are back and finish up chapter 16, on Good Works, from the 1689 Confession. Why are our works, even if “good” in capable of meriting eternal life? How are our good works, even if corrupt, acceptable and pleasing to God? And how does God see the works of non-Christians? Plus, Joe is dealing with customer service, and Jimmy’s photo of Joe becomes a meme.
