Joe and Jimmy answer a listener’s email about 1 Cor. 11:14 and Paul’s statement, “Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him.” Is long hair inherently feminine? Does the Bible allow long hair for men? How long is too long? What is really at issue here? Plus, Joe teases his appearance on the Babylon Bee Podcast. DOCTRINE AND DEVOTION IS COMING TO TEXAS!
