Music is a big part of most people's lives. And you know what, there's a lot of really great music out there! But we need to know... does it matter WHAT kind of music we're listening to? What about our kids - as long as it's ok to play on the radio, does that mean it's ok for their ears? Sometimes we don't even stop to think about things like this, but this week we're gonna change that. And you're a part of the conversation!

Jelly Roll is a funny name. Can we just put that out there? Jelly. Roll.
But besides the name, a listener requested topic related to Mr. Roll spurred on a whole conversation about knowing where someone stands with Jesus and how it's a modern version of a question that's been asked for millennia. Sit down, y'all, and listen up while we speak on the Jelly.
This week's a listener request regarding the power of Satan in the life of someone who seems to live from strife to strife. Is that life lost to suffering? Have each of those situations become "strongholds" of Satan? Gather up with us and let's muse about strife, the power of Satan, and the gift God has given us to have joy in our lives.

Y'all - what is with everyone and this halftime show?! We don't mean your opinion on the music or the dancing or anything... just the fury and fussing and anger. Anyone notice how easy it is lately to get the whole country wound up and fighting mad? Is that how it's supposed to be - is that what God really wants from us? Come on in and sit down, cause we're gonna muse on that.

Oooo baby - we're back! The sabbatical is over and the team is back together again. Big shout-out and thanks to all of you who stayed connected and supported us during this time.
I'm not even sure this is the right episode number, but... IT DOESN'T MATTER! What matters is that we're here, you're here, and we can get back to our regularly scheduled musing. So, strap in, listen up, and tell us what's been going on with you...

It's the last one, y'all! The Sabbatical Season is coming to a close and we've made it to the last Rewind episode before Townsend and Preacher Man take their seats behind the microphone. Who knows what stories there will be to tell - but until then, enjoy this last look back and one of our most listened-to episodes; this one about what we do with our free-time and where God fits into that.

Men are important. Sure, they might be a headache sometimes (who isn't?) but maleness and manhood aren't diseases - they're a vital part of the purpose and plan that God has for His creation. This week we revisit an episode from early 2022 about the importance of encouraging men and the importance of men being men. Rise up, fellas - you matter.

Preacher Man was learning about the importance of "quietness" way back in October of 2021 and the musing he and Townsend shared about the topic became one of the most listened-to episodes of them all. Life is loud - but God calls us to find places of quiet so that we can focus on hearing that "still, small voice." How quiet is your life? How quiet do you wish it was?

It was 2020 - a year that may just have changed American culture more than any other year in the 250 that the country's been around. And folks were FUSSING. Masks, toilet paper, the cost of food... it was driving us all crazy. But, just a day before Preacher Man's birthday, it also provided a good opportunity for us to think about the things that were occupying our thoughts and conversations. An episode about Gossip - that's what t...
Happy New Year, y'all! This week's rewind asks us to consider what it actually means to be "Holy." With all the resolutions we might be tempted to make for 2026, what if we stopped to consider just exactly what it means to be set apart from everything else; fully committed to living for Jesus.

This week we look back at the episode that marked our 1 year anniversary! We'd made it 52 whole weeks and took that chance to share about the difference between "having to" and "getting to." Now that most of the holidays might be behind you, we invite you to think over how important this topic actually is - the gift we're given to "get to" do all that God has asked.

It's almost Christmas! And, about 3 years ago - Episode 132 gave us a chance to reflect on what Christmas "JOY" actually is and how we should be seeking it, even through the hustle and bustle of the season. Plus, it's Preacher Man's name, so... you know. Gotta talk about that. ;)

Episode 48 was all about being grumpy - and this time of year we're maybe dealing with little folks and big folks struggling with that exact problem. One of our most listened-to episodes, we hope you can hear it again, or for the first time, and be reminded of all we have to be happy about. The world needs your happy!

This week's REWIND comes from December of 2021 and found Townsend and Preacher Man thinking about how important it is for people to see the world through the lens of Jesus. Sure there's negative around, but He chose to see our possibility over that. Can we see the same way?

Episode 34 was our first seasonal episode - our first "Podcast Thanksgiving." Recorded in November of 2020 (remember that year?!) - we reflected on our need to be thankful in every situation. 5 years later, still the same need.

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 ;)

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!
