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.

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.

Coffee With Friends #12: Things Christians Say — Part 2

Christians are guilty of saying all sorts of things-- including us. And sometimes, some of the things we say are, well, goofy. Or theologically incorrect. Or something in between. The Boys have another two-parter where they discuss all sorts of things Christians say, all sorts of quippy things they come up with. Everyone is guilty of saying something wrong, but of course, the three of us never do! Enjoy!

Coffee With Friends #10: Membership — Part 2

Church membership is extremely important, and for many people, something they know a little bit about. But what is the importance in church membership? How should churches practice it? What are the good and bad things about certain membership ideas? Does membership even matter? This podcast has two parts because the Boys have a lengthy roundtable discussion about it, covering a wide range of topics. This is probably one of our best chats. We hope you enjoy.

Coffee With Friends #7: Merry Christmas!

On this episode of Coffee With Friends, the Boys are back with Friend of the Show™ Gabe Short to discuss all things Christmas. Specifically, we get into the traditions and implications of the Christmas Holiday. But that all comes after a debate over the future of the Chiefs and the Panthers playoff hopes. Also, for about 8 minutes in the middle, the microphone is picking up someone's heart beat, so don't freak out when you hear it. Anyway, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night! #EggNog
