What does it mean for us to pray that God would give us our “daily bread?” Joe and Jimmy get into it. But first, Jimmy calls out Joe for blowing off another dinner party, Joe calls out the MacArthur Center’s podcast for trying to steal our flow, and then the guys call up up Thomas Terry, founder of Humble Beast, to get the final. word on all of this.

Jump to the 10 minute mark to skip the banter. Is it wrong for a Christian to sue another Christian?

Here we go again, on our own. Going down the only road we’ve ever known. Or something like that. The guys discuss the 10 commandments, again, thinking through their value and why Christians should be very familiar with them.

Today Jimmy and Joe kick back and have a conversation about how they place boundaries around the media their kids take in, and what principles they want their children to keep in mind as they watch, read, or listen to movies, tv, and music. OUR SPONSOR The ministry landscape is changing. More and more, pastors need to be equipped with rigorous theological training as well as job skills to make a living where God has called you. That’s why Southeastern Seminary has created the M.Div.-M.B.A. in just 4 years, you can graduate from a theologically rigorous M.Div. program at Southeastern and have the practical job skills of an M.B.A. With leading Baptist scholars like Bruce Ashford, Ben Merkle, and John Hammett, there’s no better time to start your theological training today.

Founders Ministries recently released a trailer for their forthcoming “cinedoc” that seems to focus on the dangerous presence of liberalism in its various forms present in the church today. Many took issue with the trailer’s tone and some of its content. We discuss that here. In light of the public outcry concerning the trailer many waited for an apology to be issued by Founders Ministries. On July 29th Pastor Tom Ascol, President of Founders Ministries, released a statement detailing the release and the push back of the trailer. There was no apology made in the article, but rather an explanation of their actions and perspective on the matter. Joe and Jimmy sat down to record a bonus episode talking about Founders’ statement, where they agree, and what they take issue with.

Jimmy and Joe walk into the second table of the law and talk about the fifth commandment. Why is the command to “honor your father and mother” the first to be listed in the second table? Does this command only impact family relationships? What does honoring mom and dad look like today, and what is the danger is breaking this commandment?

Joe and Jimmy talk about bibles. What translation do they prefer? What's their go-to Bible? Do they preach from a special bible? What about those super expensive Bibles? And the real problem with the KJV—unicorns. Plus, the guys talk about their favorite movie theater.
