Episode 35
Whelp, COVID-19 is here so we're all social distancing and this has obviously impacted churches in significant ways, our's is no exception. This week the team gets together to talk about how we're reacting to all things coronavirus. They also talk how to get help if you need it, or how to help out if you are able. And, just to be super upfront with everyone... we're going on what will hopefully be a brief hiatus as we pivot to meet the immediate needs of our church and our community. As we gain a better picture of what the day-to-day needs of our church look like, we'll let you know when new episodes are coming. Until then, love your neighbor and stay safe.

This week the team chats a little more about the annual ministry review and Josh's reading habits. How has Josh read almost 20 books so far in 2020, you ask? Josh shares some insights while Shaun takes issue with how Josh tabulates his book reading statistics and he thinks you should as well. Nevertheless, reading is important and the team talks about why.

Episode 27
On the slate for this week the team takes a couple questions and discusses the State of the Bible 2019 study from the Barna Group and American Bible Society. The study produced some encouraging insights and some... not so encouraging insights, but we hope it's a helpful discussion that encourages us all to crack open our Bibles because there is work to be done! Also, Shaun butchers a Charles H. Spurgeon quote right out of the gate and it's so bad we're providing the quote here in the show notes. Enjoy!
"A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t.” -Charles H. Spurgeon

Episode 24
A whole host of good topics on tap for this week! Pastor Josh, Laura, and Shaun tackle questions related to women in leadership; when to be silent in prayer; empathy for introversion; and expectations during the worship service.
Next week we're recording our final episode of 2019! We'll be back in January 2020, but before we go on break we're having our first ever Christmas Podcast Spectacular! If you have any questions about Christmas/Advent, please send those in and we'll try to address them in next week's episode. Also, if you have an awkward gift that wasn't a part of a white elephant gift exchange, send those into us as well; we'd love to hear about them! Josh shares a good one in the beginning of this episode.
Also, while we're on break, don't stop sending in your questions. We always get questions that we just don't have time for in a given week, so we hold onto those questions and try to get to them sooner or later. So, don't think that since we're on break you can't send in…
