Summary
Joe and Jimmy are back after taking their kids to see two very different kinds of movies. In this episode they talk about idealism in ministry and how it can become dangerous if untethered from reality. How do we hold on to our biblical convictions while adapting to the demands of a growing church? Can one be both faithful and flexible in church ministry? This is another example of the guys thinking out loud. We'd love to have you join the conversation, so it fly on social media.
