Summary
Jimmy is back to talk about The Masked Singer, but Joe works hard at keeping him focused on the value of small groups, a Twitter conversation started by Pastor Steve Meister, and the puritan discipline of Holy Conference. Plus, Joe’s “thicket” made it onto the Babylon Bee, and Jimmy places extra burdens on members’ backs at Redeemer Fellowship.
Get the book Godly Conversations by Joanne Jung for a deep dive into the puritan practice of “holy conference.” Get it. You won’t be disappointed.
