Musings with Townsend and Preacher Man

We begin our sabbatical "REWIND" series with a look at where it all began 5 1/2 hears ago - before Preacher Man even knew that it would be easier to record in MP3 rather than WAV. He figured it out later - but you should listen in and see how it all began. Are we better, worse, or something in the middle? You decide ;)

Preacher Man muse on? Let them know ...

Here on our last episode "pre-Sabbatical" we muse on a question asked by one of Preacher Man's favorite students of all time. And it's a good question: what happens when our loved ones pass from this life to the next? Are they sleeping? Are they stuck working out some punishments before they get to heaven? Are they longing for our presence and looking down at us? What does the Bible say...?

And hey, if you read this stuff, THANK YO...

Trying to understand who is and isn't telling you the truth can often be a real daunting task. Who are we supposed to trust, who are we supposed to ignore? Pull up your chair and let's consider what Jesus says in Matthew 24 about the coming signs of the end and how we'd be dealing with some false folks. How will we know they're false? Glad you asked...

Free will is the idea that you are completely free to make whatever choice you want. But the question comes in screaming hot when you wonder how that freedom of choice can coexist with an omniscient God who knows everything and can do everything, too. Do these things cancel one another out or something?! Listen up to this week's episode where Townsend and Preacher Man respond to a LISTENER REQUEST (LOVE IT!) and see what you learn.

A listener requested topic regarding the Christian faith and the idea of disowning a family member. Maybe we've all experienced a person (or people) who simply refused to come to the table and be reconciled but are we allowed/permitted to cast them off? Join us in musing on that and see if God doesn't give you some direction in whatever situation you might be facing!

Have we ever mentioned how much we LOVE it when you guys ask questions?! WE LOVE IT! Keep those thoughts and questions coming!

This week's episode is a response to a double-request regarding the same topic. We hope you tune in and listen, but that you'll also let this episode (and all of them for that matter) encourage you to dive deeper into your own faith as a result of the musing we do here today. God's ready for you - grab a Bib...

Money is a tough subject and probably always has been. But, no matter - this episode is a response to a listener request, a question about how you know about how to spend your money. Does it matter only about big things, little things, or all the things? Pull up your chair and let's see what we can come up with.

Don't play - you know what we're talking about. Words that your momma would wash your mouth out with soap over... 4-letter words. Bad words. Ugly words.

Cuss Words.

Are they sinful? Are they the words that the Bible speaks about when it says not to say "obscene" thing and to let no "unwholesome" stuff come out of our mouths? Glad you asked - cause we're gonna muse on it.

Folks - an audible was called on this episode. Preacher Man's wife was a part of the pre-game before recording and Townsend said "I think this is what we should talk about..."

This episode is that - two folks musing and ramblin' about recent events and the powerful testimony of forgiveness that was recently displayed by Erika Kirk. But, still no Mrs. Preacher Man. She's a tough one on avoiding the microphone. ;)

The cards pause once again, but this time not from a listener request - this is more of a "what we did last week" sort of episode. So, you're invited to sit down while we peel the curtain back on how the events of last week differed between Townsend and Preacher Man and how it all might tie together.

"What do you imagine the church will be like one hundred years from now?"

I won't hide the punchline here, folks... if we don't do something soon - we're going to watch the church in America become a footnote of history; as it relates to her effectiveness. But, just because a thing is heading in the wrong direction DOESN'T mean it has to keep going that way. You can change it! We can change it! First, though, let's muse.

"Should a Christian protest against unjust government policies? How do you define 'unjust'?"

Maybe you don't spend a lot of time thinking about protesting, but should you? Does protest just mean picket lines, signs, and slogans - or is it something else... something more? Sit down, tune in, and think about it with us this week as we consider a Christian's place in the world of protesting.

We're back to our cards for this one (insert sad face here), but that's alright. This week is a topic that we would have pulled from the box over a month a go - musing on whether we think God knows the future and why we think what we think. Don't be shocked... but the answer is in the Bible! Sit down, listen up, and see if you don't learn something.

**LISTENER REQUEST** AGAIN!!

Look y'all - you've spoiled with these past episodes with your requests and we LOVE IT! So, send more!! Cause this is the last one I've gotten. And it's a good one too - a reflection on how you know you're hearing from God and how you can better know that it's righteous instruction you're being given by Him vs. letting your own desires or the words of the enemy direct your path.

**LISTENER REQUEST**

So grateful for those of you who trust us with your questions! This week, a bit like last, is a question that comes from a place of difficulty and (in this case) pain. And that's because sometimes situations bring us so much hurt that we don't even know what to ask. So, Townsend and I have done our best to muse this week on marriage, infidelity, and the healing that may be coming. We love you, Listener Land!

**ANOTHER LISTENER REQUESTED TOPIC!!!**

Have I mentioned how much I love when you guys reach out with topic requests? I haven't??? Well - I LOVE IT! WE LOVE IT!

This week's topic comes from a sweet message from an even sweeter soul who asks about waiting for God to bless them with a baby and all of the emotions that come with that. Townsend gets a chance to tell her story here and it's a blessing to have her honesty and insight. Pull...

ANOTHER TOPIC REQUEST FROM LISTENER LAND!!

This week's topic is a common one; "Do I have to give a tenth or tithe as a Christian?" Maybe you think you already know the answer or you have an assumption, but we invite you to sit down at the table and muse with us while we let the Bible provide the answer to the question of our 10%.

** CHECK IT OUT - A LISTENER REQEST! **

We got asked, so we answered! Take a listen, see what you think, and then maybe consider sending in a question of your own - CAUSE WE LOVE LISTENER REQUESTS!

Did I mention that we love it when you guys write us? Cause, you know... we really do. ;)
