And joining me today are of course Jamie Golden and Evan Dodson.

On this episode, we're going to be

0:21.2

discussing Philippiancy. We're going to be discussing, do we expect pastors to be great at sermons

0:26.8

without a splash of plagiarism? And also, you know, dear jerky ministry. And I think you can
