Often times one of the great criticisms leveled at the church is that it can function like a big business. The prosperity gospel gives credence to these criticisms but what about other churches. John and Josh speak about their own experience with church and money.

In this episode John discusses the difficult reality of losing a pet. Josh seems to have something against cats. We discuss the scriptural understanding of whether animals will be in heaven or not.

In this special birthday episode (It's Joshs birthday!) Henderson joins us for an awesome conversation about respecting the authority of the pastor versus being manipulated by wolves in sheep's clothing. How can we tell? I don't know that we answer it, but we give it a good try (that's that private education).
