ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Does the devil have a wife? Would Jesus want Christians to keep an “open mind” about worldly issues? And is bringing up abortion really the fastest way to escape a barroom conversation that has gone completely off the rails? This week, Joe and Pastor-D begin with listener questions that somehow take them from Satan's wife to marijuana, Mississippi politics and Joe’s highly effective—though probably not pastor-approved—method of ending an argument.
Then the conversation moves from rocky barroom theology to the rocky soil of Jesus’ Parable of the Sower. Why did people accuse Jesus of working with Satan when He was casting out demons? Why did His own family question whether He had lost His mind? And when Jesus scattered the good news so freely, was He also showing us how we should share it—even with people who seem unlikely to listen?
Joe and Pastor-D dig into hardened hearts, shallow faith, the cost of becoming a genuine disciple and the modern-day thorns quietly choking the spiritual life out of us. Are worry, wealth, politics, entertainment and comparison keeping Christians from producing fruit? Should we focus on people most likely to respond, or throw seed everywhere and let God handle the harvest? And can someone be enormously successful in God’s eyes while looking like a complete failure to the world?
Grab your gardening gloves, check the condition of your soil and join us for an episode featuring demons, discipleship, questionable conversational strategies and one uncomfortable question: Are we actually producing fruit—or have we just become very good at looking like a field?
