Summary

Who wants a bonus episode?! Jimmy and Joe sit down to chat about the current state of the Southern Baptist Convention. They walk through some of our history and developments as a convention, the theological drift, the conservative resurgence, and where we are today. What are our current problems and what lies behind them? Plus, what are a few things we should do as Southern Baptists and SBC churches?

OUR SPONSOR

myXP is a ministry committed to solving problems for pastors. We provide the support of an Executive Pastor without the financial burden of employing one full time. We support lead pastors, strengthen systems and steward resources.

How does it work? partners get a weekly 60 minute connect with an experienced Executive Pastor to outline current problems/challenges. The XP then goes to work solving these problems, and continues to work behind the scenes strengthening all the relevant systems.

Your First Step: check out the website and schedule a FREE initial connect at myxp.church. Act now, and through the month of August you will receive 30% off the first month if you mention Doctrine and Devotion as the way you heard about myXP. This is a savings of $300 for church plants and $420 for existing churches.
