Summary

In this episode of Life and Books and Everything, Kevin, Collin, and Justin discuss the writing process, how things have exponentially changed in the online Christian writing space, what books have most recently moved them, which pastor biographies are their favorite, and what message the church needs to hear most in 2020. And if nuanced discussions on culture, books, and theology don't quite do it for you, be sure to tune in to hear the guys give their best Chris Farley impressions.

This episode of Life and Books and Everything is brought to you by Crossway, a publisher whose goal is to publish gospel-centered, Bible-centered content that will honor our Savior and serve his Church. The Crossway title we want to highlight in this episode is Lead: 12 Gospel Principles for Leadership in the Church by Paul David Tripp. For every celebrity pastor exiting the ministry in the spotlight, there are many more lesser-known pastors leaving in the shadows. Tripp draws on his decades of ministry experience to give churches twelve gospel principles necessary to combat this leadership crisis. Each of these principles, built upon characteristics such as humility, dependency, and accountability, will enable new and experienced leaders alike to focus their attention on the ultimate leadership model: the gospel.

0:00.0	Greetings and salutations listeners. I am Kevin D. Young, the Life and Books and Everything podcast. And yes, indeed, I am joined once again after their well-deserved week off last week by Justin Taylor and
0:23.9	Colin Hanson.
0:25.5	What did you guys do for your Labor Day?
0:29.7	I was spending time with my family and enjoying being in the water and yeah just squeezing some of the last out of summer before
0:42.7	we get hit by a hurricane and and the temperatures drop so it was a good time how did you Kevin
0:48.8	did you enjoy your monologue well I'm I'm sure that the listeners have been clamoring for much more of that.
0:59.9	And no doubt, we have spiked the servers with the monologue. It was sort of enjoyable.
1:06.4	And I just wrote down, you know, jotted down some few notes. And so on the one hand, I was surprised that I talked for 50 minutes.
1:14.9	And the other hand, you see how, you know, the people who talk three hours a day for a living,
1:22.4	I mean, that's a certain sort of gift and punishment, be able to do that.
1:29.7	I think I could get the hang of it, unfortunately, or fortunately.
1:33.5	But to be able to be interesting for that long all by yourself, it takes a special knack,
1:40.1	and it's a different kind of communication than preaching, for sure.
1:46.3	Justin, how long would it take before you just began reciting all kinds of 1990s Nebraska football trivia? If you had three hours
1:52.5	start. That's where you start. That's all I do on Labor Day is just watch old 90s Husker
1:59.0	reruns on YouTube.
2:02.9	And text stuff about them. Guys who have a show that they have to fill in three hours a day, but there's no
2:06.4	sports going on for multiple months.
2:08.6	Yeah.
2:08.8	But you can still fill all that time with controversy and the latest.
2:13.4	I didn't listen.
2:14.6	I mean, I couldn't do it.
