Pastor Joe pulls back the curtain on his sermon-writing process, revealing how Kirsten's feedback is key to polishing his messages. This leads to a lively discussion about asking permission before sharing personal stories from the pulpit—something Pastor Joe, as a PK (Pastor's Kid), knows is vital. Get ready for some sweet, personal anecdotes about his own dad, Pastor Dick Williams, that informed his approach. Then, they dive into last week's message on John chapter 10. Pastor Joe makes a bold statement: understanding and believing the two central claims Jesus makes in this chapter is non-negotiable for a Christian. He also shares some helpful Christian apologetics resources to help listeners dig deeper. Finally, they wrap up with another vindictive vulture attack! Let's pop the hood!

Ep. 93 | Season 4 Has Begun! (Part 2)
Pastor Joe & Kirsten pick right up where they left off last week. Pastor Joe starts off by giving a sure-fire way to spot a Progressive Christian church. Then, they dive into a conversation about forgiveness. Pastor Joe reminds us that it's level ground at the foot of the cross. None of us wants to be caught behaving like "the unmerciful servant." How should we conduct ourselves in light of all Christ has forgiven us? They wrap up with a US Naval Academy hoax that nearly turned deadly and a "personal" attack by some turkey vultures!

Ep. 92 | Season 4 Begins! (Part 1)
Pastor Joe & Kirsten are back on the mics after Summer Break! A lot has happened since we last heard from them, so buckle up! They give a family update and launch into a discussion of "Freezergate." Pastor Joe had surgery over the summer, too, and that leads to a trip down memory lane. Finally, they talk about how Pastor Joe's sermon on "The Unmerciful Servant" touched a nerve at NewLife. The discussion on forgiveness leads into a timely reflection on the death of Charlie Kirk. Come back next week for Part 2! Let's pop the hood!
