NOT the Sermon

In this episode, Jamie & Eric are riding the high of internet fame. In Shooting the Skybalon, they break down their viral Instagram video that somehow racked up 6.9 million views. Then in Mega Church Minute, they talk about the trend of celebrities becoming Christians and immediately launching a preaching career. Finally, in Pester the Pastor, they wrestle with doctrinal unity versus uniformity—and whether Christians actually need to agree on everything.
It's viral, it's convicting, it's Not the Sermon

In this episode, Jamie & Eric are talking lawn mowers and last rites. In Shooting the Skybalon, Eric tells the story of surviving an outdoor funeral in brutal August heat. In Shady Theology, they get into the wild story of a young man told by a prophet to literally eat a page out of the Bible. Then in a brand new game called Fish or Fake?, Eric has to guess if a bunch of weird names are actual fish or just made up nonsense. Finally, in Bible Says Whaaaat, they dig into whether Jesus lied about skipping the Festival of Booths, plus the strange world of Old Testament thigh oaths.
It's sweaty, it's silly, it's Not the Sermon.

In this episode, Jamie & Eric kick things off with a backhanded compliment and Eric's questionable trip to the zoo. In Houston, We Have a Question, Sermonots ask about Jesus' ideal walk-in music, the effects of the fall, and, uh, animal romance. In So Help Meme God, they tackle the age-old question: does God have a sense of humor? Finally, in Pester the Pastor, they debate just how important church buildings really are to worship.
It's silly, it's sincere, it's Not the Sermon.

This episode is one of our most listened to of all time. In Season 1, Eric and Jamie were joined by professing atheist Michael Fincher.
Have you ever talked with an atheist before? The dialogue between Christians and atheists has been strained by years of "boogeyman" stories and a general misunderstanding of each other's culture.

Next up in How Great is Our Pod, they debut a “prodigal” worship song with a special guest (hint, hint). Finally, in Pester the Pastor, they ask if multi-level marketing has any place in the church—or if it’s just spiritual spam.
