Doctrine and Devotion – Details, episodes & analysis

This episode of Banter of Truth was recorded last summer, but we are sharing it everyone today in light of the returning discussion about yoga pants and modesty. Licensed Professional Counselor, Krista McDunn joins Joe to get into yoga pants, leggings, bikinis, modesty, and lust. Does it matter what we wear? Why all the focus on women? What about modest men? And how should we better prepare our children, boys and girls, to navigate through a hyper-sexualized culture?

Today we’ve got Dr. Matt Henslee on the pod t talk about SBC investment, why it matters, and why it can be so tiring. Matt is the associational missionary of Collin Baptist Association and one of the pastors of First Baptist Farmersville.

Jump to the 9:00 mark to skip the banter and get to the main stuff.

Today Joe and Jimmy discuss another article Julie Roys alleging misconduct by the leadership of Grace Community Church, led by John MacArthur. What are we to do with such publications? When do we stop defending leaders in the midst of accusations like these? As people removed from the situation are we responsible to respond? Warning: this episode deals with the sexual assault of children.

Jimmy and Joe talk through the value of Christian conferences, what we look for when choosing one to attend, and what our favorite conference experiences have been. But first they answer an email about the difference between baptist and presbyterian denominations.

Joe and Jimmy respond to an email from a young minister navigating the trappings of his first position at a church. How does he avoid finding his identity in the wrong parts of ministry? How does he build trust with people 20 years his senior, make necessary changes, and not be the know-it-all seminarian?

The guys answer some more emails. Why do people get worked up over the SBC president if every church is autonomous? Is cryptocurrency gambling? How does a man encourage his despondent wife?

In a recent episode the guys said that one candidate for SBC President might drop out of the running due to recent news, and this proved to be true. Today Joe and Jimmy discuss the three men set to be nominated at the upcoming Southern Baptist Convention in Anaheim, CA.

Joe and Jimmy answer a listener’s question about what to tell our kids when it comes to mom’s or dad’s enjoyment of alcohol or tobacco. Does it hurt or help to hide lawful, permissible habits from our kids?
