Joe and Jimmy are back in the second of two episodes recorded offsite at an undisclosed location, and they get into a touchy subject. Should pastors be paid by their local church? How much should pastors be paid, and how can we determine that amount? And should congregations know what pastors are paid (the answer is yes). Plus, Jimmy is a dandy. Want to skip the small talk? You can skip to the 6:05 mark.OUR SPONSORSoutheastern Baptist Theological Seminary believes that theological education is best done in partnership with the local church. Southeastern’s EQUIP Network empowers churches and ministry organizations to offer accredited and accessible courses to students from the highest level of theological training. The EQUIP Network weds the seminary experience with real life ministry opportunities to provide students with the most integrative ministry training available. Students can fulfill their remaining degree requirements through the online, hybrid, or campus-based classes. Students can earn up to 36 hours of seminary credit in their local church through EQUIP classes. AND if you’re a pastor with an M.Div., you can start an EQUIP center at your church.

Joe and Jimmy were joined by Raleigh Sadler, the founder and executive director of Let My People Go, and author of Vulnerable: Rethinking Human Trafficking. The guys ask Raleigh what led him into a ministry dedicated to helping the victims of human trafficking, what the misconceptions are around trafficking, how churches push back against it, and how individuals and churches can get involved. It’s a great conversation, and we encourage you to grab a copy of Raleigh’s book, Vulnerable: Rethinking Human Trafficking.SPONSORThis episode is sponsored by CROSS20, a special live-stream conference going down December 29-30, 2020 aimed at helping 18-25 year-olds find their place in God's global plan.

The guys wrap up their series through the Ten Commandments, hitting the danger of coveting. Why is it evil? How does it take hold of our hearts? What is the cure? Plus, Jimmy has never heard of “jumping the shark,” and Joe does not believe in aliens. And for the whiners – skip to 6:22 to avoid banter.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
