The boys are back, and the audio is lackluster because Cooper forgot the microphones. On this episode, the boys are back to talk about deacons. We are excited, and you should be, too. Note: we recorded this weeks ago, so ignore anything that seems outdated, like bad college football takes. Enjoy!

Pastors
Yes... we are back. Yes... the audio is chopped. Cooper forgot the microphones. But we made it work. On this episode of the Bible Belt Boys, we play catch up, and then we talk about pastors-- who they are, what they do, how to find them, and so much more. Also, we recorded this weeks ago, so nevermind any and all college football takes.
Worship Service Pet Peeves
We all regularly attend worship services at our local church. Sometimes, we even lead them-- Cooper leads every week, allegedly. During these countless services we have attended, we have noticed things that really bug us: song choices, preaching ticks, common occurrences. On this episode, we talk about these things. We are not declaring a crusade against Chris Tomlin or jeans. We are just.... getting some things off of our chest. Join us after a long hiatus to talk about worship service pet peeves. The first ten minutes are college football talk... sorry, but not really.
Misquoted Bible Verses
Hobby Lobby, your grandma's kitchen, youth group t shirts, random community ministries, Tim Tebow's eye black-- Bible verses are plastered everywhere. We love the Bible. We love quoting the Bible. But often, we find that some people actually use the Bible incorrectly and misquote it, misuse it, or lack proper understanding for the verse they slap on a T Shirt. On this episode, after a hiatus, the Boys™ are back discussing some of the ways they've seen the Bible get misused.
Our Personal Influences
The Boys have been real busy, so it's been a while since they talked. But on this episode of Caffeinated Christianity, the Boys have a conversation about our personal influences-- pastors, authors, podcasts, you name it. We recorded this before the end of March Madness, so feel free to skip the intro unless you want to see how right or wrong we were. Your call. #NoDoubt
Church Membership
Joining a church is really important, but for many people that entire idea can be misunderstood, complicated, or carry a lot of baggage. Maybe you have no qualms with church membership. Maybe you've never considered it. Maybe you think it's like Costco. No matter what you think, this episode will dispel any and all myths surrounding church membership. We think it's important, and we think you should think it's important. Humor us for about an hour to hear why. #ThanksMarkDever
The Ordinary Means of Grace
Have you ever stopped to think about what exactly your church does? When you think of what your church should be doing, do you think of programs? Preaching? Benevolence? All of the above? On this episode of the Bible Belt Boys, Caleb and Cooper take a deep dive into the ordinary means of grace-- a fancy term to describe many things your church probably already does. But as they make the case here, perhaps your church could do them even better.
Assurance of Salvation
If you have spent any time around evangelical Christianity, particularly Southern Baptists, then you have likely heard some talk of being "once saved, always saved!" We refer to this as the assurance of your salvation. On this episode, this is exactly what we tackle. Is your salvation secure? How do you know that? When you should you start to worry? Who will win the NCAA tournament? Find the answers to all that and more on this episode of *checks notes* Caffeinated Christianity.
Things that plague our context — part 2
