Inglorious Pastords

In this week's conversation, you'll hear the pastords talk about weeds, Christians who might not be Christians, Old Crow bourbon, Bible instructions we overlook, bidding at live auctions, the problem with being nice, the life expectancy of prophets, Hopalong Cassidy and balancing humility with courage.

Season Two's first episode has Bruce and Roger talking about the NFL, losing heart, cranky lawnmowers, battling depression, listening well, encouragement, face masks, praying at the pump, and one thing you should do immediately after hearing the podcast.

Bruce and Roger host a live event celebrating the completion of Season 1 and the official launch of the podcast. They have fun talking about how the podcast idea developed, favorite episodes, technical problems, comical mistakes and the fun of chatting together.

The pastords talk about tattoos, loving enemies, tipping waiters, revenge fantasies, impossible Bible commands, car break-ins, religious platitudes and the need for rest.

In no particular hurry, Bruce and Roger talk about speeding, Jairus, annoying drivers, living in the moment, HWJD bracelets, forgotten people, smoked brisket, Lazarus and why Jesus was frustratingly slow.

The pastords talk about hiking adventures, admitting you're wrong, life verses, signed eBay collectibles, avoiding the homeless, and finding the will of God for your life.

In one episode, the pastords manage to talk about hell, life on the farm, Juneteenth, a Jesus story about a farmer, slavery, lost love, nationalism, and how many houses they've lived in.

This week's conversation winds it's way around Santa, the Good Samaritan, complicity, weddings, injustice, the Grinch and one dangerous prayer.

Bruce and Roger's conversation winds its way around unfortunate church marquee signs, the abolition of church signs movement, favorite apostles, a fishing miracle, how God loves to partner with failures, and the original inglorious pastord--along with a sponsor plug that may have gone sideways.

From a fun look at John Krasinski's Some Good News show, Bruce and Roger move to a conversation about racial injustice, profiling,  the "dangerous" black man stereotype, protests and whether Jesus would ever protest.  They finish with a word to white friends who are want to know how they can support black and brown brothers and sisters in meaningful ways.

Bruce and Roger announce the podcast's new name and its backstory. They somehow then manage to talk about God as three-in-one, the game of bocce, how hard it is to selflessly serve, their Florida vacation and how listeners can help figure out a subtitle.

Bruce and Roger talk about how Covid is changing the world as we knew it and whether that's good or bad.

We are launching a podcast. We have no idea what we're doing. Help us pick a name.
