Jimmy and Joe are back from the annual Doctrine and Devotion conference to talk a bit about the discouragement of pastors in 2020. Why is this year so hard, and why do so many pastors appear to be ready to leave their churches? Then the guys look at John Piper’s “Thirty Reasons Why It Is a Great Thing to Be a Pastor” from his updated book, The Supremacy of God in Preaching. Plus, we announce a winner for the ESV Reader’s Bible Giveaway, Jimmy learns there is no fight in Vegas, and Joe gets a last minute invite to go to “Sin City.”Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

We received an email recently that asked us to talk about the idea of someone “belonging before believing.” It is said a lot these days, and sometimes it comes with bad theological baggage. Other times it merely expresses a subjective experience. Can someone really belong before they believe? Jojo and Fofo throw up the mics to talk about it. Plus, Jimmy forgets his wallet, and Joe learns what a red-eye is. 10 minutes of banter. Be warned.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
