Summary
Jimmy and Joe are back, bickering, and pastors and talking about their schedules and when to say "no" to some responsibilities. This means this is not just a conversation about pastors, but about all Christians involved in ministry. What does Pastor Joe's schedule look like? How does Jimmy balance his schedule in a bi-vocational ministry context? How do we determine our schedule for ministry, and when do we need to say no to some good works of ministry? Plus, Jimmy explains, "every 'yes' is a 'no'," and Joe's wife can eat. A lot. Like, a lot, a lot.
