Jimmy and Joe sit down to record an episode on “giving to the church”, but they also decided to try out Uber Eats. So there is an Italian Beef intermission. Why are some pastors uneasy teaching on giving? Should pastors receive a salary from the church? Is an “offering” biblical? How much should members give to their church? What should the offering go toward? Plus, Joe's arachnophobia is on full display.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

The guys sit down with Dr. Ed Stetzer to talk about church health and revitalization. What are the basic symptoms of an unhealthy church, and what are the first steps in moving the church back toward biblical vitality? Ed has some great words for us all. And one of those words is “jackwagon.” Be sure to follow Ed on Twitter at @edstetzer. Who is Ed Stetzer? Don't pretend you don't know. Everybody knows that Ed holds the distinguished Billy Graham Chair of Church, Mission, and Evangelism at Wheaton College and serves as Executive Director of the Billy Graham Center. He has planted, revitalized, and pastored churches, trained pastors and church planters on six continents, holds two masters degrees and two doctorates, and has written dozens of articles and books.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

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.
