Joe and Jimmy sit down with author, professor, and fountain pen enthusiast, Dr. Don Whitney, to talk about spiritual disciples in general, and fasting and silence in particular. What is a “spiritual discipline”? How important are the biblical disciplines for the Christian life? Why should we fast, and why is it so neglected today? How is silence and solitude a biblical discipline? Be sure to check out Dr. Whitney's website, biblicalspirituality.org, and pick up his books linked below. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

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
