Text us here! Hersh, the folks are going to feel valued after today. We spent time giving advice to the ladies on what to buy their men for Christmas. Most of the items we discussed were given a green light by the men in Studio 18. We also ate a fruitcake on air and were persuasive enough to get the Emma-fluencer and Loretta to chaw (big word for chew in the past tense) on some of the festive cake. In the end the Chips had a disastrous day discussing an overweight aunt of theirs named Vaxine or Vaccine for short....

Text us here! Hershall, it was so good to have you here for the first installment of the Christmas 2024 episodes. We found out some stuff here today, per usual. But, one of the greatest things we found out was that our Deacon used to wear a wig. We reviewed a very helpful Christmas gift guide because it is our intentions to help with our audience in their endeavors to shop for their significant friends and family. We finished by hearing from the ever popular Christmas Chip-monks with an added Gen Z Chip this year. Let the festivities begin, folks!

Text us here! Hersh, fair warning here, this episode is a complete eye-roller. I did my best to annoy my co-hosts and was 100% successful! I seamlessly worked some of the worst jokes and Thanksgiving trivia throughout this entire episode. The annoyance was so bad that Deacon Dustin was requesting that the recording equipment be unplugged from the wall... Anyway, we do want everyone to have a Happy and filling Thanksgiving Day...  Enjoy! Support the showConnect with us at https://www.podnme.org/https://youtube.com/@devinbirdsongEmail devin@podnme.orgFollow us on Instagram @podn_mePersonalities on Pod'N MePastor: Devin BirdsongDeacon: Dustin WakleySongleader: Brad CottrellHershall: Jud IngramNews Anchor, Dink Burbank: Josh SmithGen Z Boy: Brooks Birdsong

Text us here! Hershall, it's something to think that we are midway to mostly thru the month of November. As you surely remember, this is the month of my nativity (a biblical way to say birth). The boys never forget that and so I acknowledged that today. We talked about a recent invitation to be the M. C. (abbreviation for Master of Ceremonies- side note- why is it possible/acceptable to spell this word as it sounds? See title) at a Gala (big word for fundraiser) for Macy's Cradle, a nonprofit that my big sister started. We talked about some recent vehicle trouble that I have been experiencing and that led to the testimony of Gen Z boy where he tells about being capable of doing his own vehicle maintenance (#proudofmyson). We ended with a Whatcha Listenin' To segment followed by a heart-felt tribute to a close friend and supporter of Pod'N Me.

Text us here! Hershall, we have a change up for you this week. We decided to allow Brooks (Gen Z Boy) to host an episode to give all of our listeners a taste of what happens over on our premium content show called Pod'N Z. We had a guest on here via the telephone that shared many things with us. He's no stranger to Pod'N Me, Mr. Josh Smith! We talked about some hard hitting topics such as Jack-A-Lopes, Memorial Highways and even delved (big word) into some childhood fears. We missed the Deacon and Songleader but, all in all, it was a good day!

Text us here! Hersh, right out of the gate (proverbial comparative saying about racehorses) we talked about how our time is held hostage and boy di it ever get serious. We followed that with feedback and heard from some of our listeners about how we're doing with this trash-cast. We ended the program today with our beloved song leader bringing the red-back hymn book in for a random challenge of guessing the lyrics. It is the more sanctimonious version of Name That Tune except with the same level of competitiveness. All in all, it was a good day and as always, we are glad for all who choose to listen...

Text us here! Hershall, good to hear from you again today on this episode. It has been a while since we have heard your voice. Before we called though, we had much to talk about. I told of a near danger experience I had on our annual Men's Camp Trip which the boys tried their best not to let me tell all that happen as it happened. We also had some feedback and during that segment, our song leader gave a lil lesson to ole Gee Z Boy. It was quite a combo-nation. All in all, we had a good time.

Text us here! Hershall, we are on the final day of our pastoral series with Rev. Jon Brock, Rev. Davin Burnett and Rev. Jon Isaacs. I am fully convinced that this is the most important conversation I have ever had on this podcast. I hope that many people will listen and hopefully gain some insight on how to handle this sensitive topic of besetting sin. The discussion centered over one particular sin of pornography and for that reason, I gave a disclaimer at the beginning of the episode that parental discretion is advised. I pray that this is a helpful conversation to all who will listen. God bless & we pray the Lord will use this for His glory! Support the showConnect with us at https://www.podnme.org/https://youtube.com/@devinbirdsongEmail devin@podnme.orgFollow us on Instagram @podn_mePersonalities on Pod'N MePastor: Devin BirdsongDeacon: Dustin WakleySongleader: Brad CottrellHershall: Jud IngramNews Anchor, Dink Burbank: Josh SmithGen Z Boy: Brooks Birdsong

Text us here! Hersh, we're back again for day two of our Pastoral Series. Today we talked about the significance of Sunday School and how challenged we feel to allow that practice to become a time where we look into the Word of God. We acknowledged  some weaknesses in our own ministries when we view teaching as unnecessary. We also talked about another often neglected part of our worship experiences and that is the sacraments of the Lord's Supper and Baptism in water. Pastors Jon Brock, Davin Burnett, and Jon Isaacs offered some helpful insights on all of the subjects. please come back tomorrow for possibly the most important discussion in this series.

Text us here! Hershall, for this week we decided to do something completely different. That is have a series (you know how pastors love series') of episodes on Pastoral Ministry. Being that it is Pastor Appreciation Month, I wanted to have some conversations hopefully giving a glimpse of some of the things that we grapple with in pastoral ministry. I have three men that have been guests previously on Pod'N Me together in Studio 18 to discuss the topics at hand. They are Pastor Jon Brock from Kellyville, OK, Pastor Davin Burnett from Blanchard, OK, and Pastor Jon Isaacs from Elba, AL. We each share our background in the ministry. We spend some time discussing what it looks like to define success in the ministry. Come back tomorrow for our next episode in the series! Support the showConnect with us at https://www.podnme.org/https://youtube.com/@devinbirdsongEmail devin@podnme.orgFollow us on Instagram @podn_mePersonalities on Pod'N MePastor: Devin BirdsongDeacon: Dustin WakleySongleader: Brad CottrellHershall: Jud IngramNews Anchor, Dink Burbank: Josh SmithGen Z Boy: Brooks Birdsong

Text us here! Hershall, I trust that all is well with you... I hope we can hear from you soon but at least you're getting to hear from us. Today you will hear a bunch of valuable information (as always) such as: my huge apology, what it's like when the Deacon using his favorite service leading voice. We had some traveling talk where I revealed how I recently turned into a full blown mechanic and also noticed a very peculiar (big word) sight of an airplane in the sky (sort of)... We also talked about how much a recent message ministered to our deacon and song leader both so much that they took great efforts to change their lives! (Talk about revival, Hersh) That led to a discussion about how we should all live in the moment. So, when you get done listening to this, turn your earbuds off and go live in some moments. Also at the end Gen Z Boy told the world that I have some unfinished business from his childhood... Hint: involving a tree house (platform) Enjoy! Support the showConnect with us at https://www.podnme.org/https://youtube.com/@devinbirdsongEmail devin@podnme.orgFollow us on Instagram @podn_mePersonalities on Pod'N MePastor: Devin BirdsongDeacon: Dustin WakleySongleader: Brad CottrellHershall: Jud IngramNews Anchor, Dink Burbank: Josh SmithGen Z Boy: Brooks Birdsong

Text us here! Hershall, check your voicemail... we had to leave you a message when you failed to take our call. we had some big news to share about our great success. Before all of that happened though, we talked about the gift of grace. It got so serious that we couldn't even feel worthy to use the normal feedback sound. We explored some different topics like whether we are supposed to lick our fingers after chip consumption. I shared some recent feedback that caused me to feel very conflicted. in the end we had some wedding advice in which we discussed the revision of song lyrics and how long it should take to say goodnight... (hint: NOT 45 mins) but it almost took us 45 minutes to end this episode because the deacon got plum carried away...

Text us here! Hershall, as promised, we tell all about our recent trip to the Men of Faith Conference in Ohio. We detailed almost every moment including a pizza run in Dink's vehicle. We had some feedback that included a birthday shout-out and opened some valued fan mail. The show was ended with an Inspirational phone call to struck driving friend of Pod'N Me....

Text us here! Hershall, we have a substitute sitting in the Deacon's chair, but that doesn't mean that we are going to have a sub-par (big word for not as good) experience. The beloved Deacon is out this week on vacation and we had a wonderful time with the twin to our Songleader, Bro. Brett Cottrell. He has been a guest here before but it has been a while. We talked about the care of Puppet (Deacon Dustin's fur baby) whilst the Wakleys are on vacation. It was complete with advice during our joke segment on pet care. Brooks gave a wonderful story of Puppet's possible contraction of a condition known as Concrete Paw. We had some wonderful feedback and did a Whatcha Listenin' To segment that turned into a serious conversation in the end. It was a privilege to have our guest today as well as have all who will listen to us...

Text us here! Hersh, it’s finally here… the time we’ve all been waiting for. We decided to release the highly un-anticipated episode that settled the debate on whether we should observe the traditional washing of feet or not. This was recorded several months ago with we and our wives. Due to a heavy traval schedule, we were unable to record our regular show so I felt it was a prime time to let the world here that we had made some definitive decisions on this topic. Take a listen and see if you agree with your stance or not, Hershall.

Text us here! Hersh, I usually take this time to apologize at this point for all that is wrong with the episode. I'm sorry, but I'm not able to do that this time. The reason being, It would be an immensurable (big word meaning endless amount) calculation of apologies. We had Josh Smith (formerly known as Rev. Josh Smith) back here today and in the middle of the show I officially stripped us all of our spiritual titles. The overwhelming theme that came up was a historical fact that I brought up about a tragedy that happened in the year of our Lord 1919. That particular disaster caused today's disaster, hence the title of this episode. We had a completely rigged Name That Tune segment, in the which we raved about a popular group from the late 1900s. All in all, we couldn't land the plane so we made history in several ways, one of which was this is the longest episode in Pod'N Me history. You're welcome!

Text us here! Hershall, we started out to cleanse the program and that wasn't completely successful. Brooks is out this week but we still heard from his heartbroken self via a phone call at the beginning of the program. We did have a wonderful sup that will be here again next week. T'was (big combination word) the old familiar voice Rev. Josh Smith. As the title states, he brings with him friends. Dink Burbank, the News Anchor (sometimes) of Pod'N Me, as well as an update from Sis. Connie of the Church Basement Bargains were both present here today. In the meantime we talked about some evangelistic nightmares including the tale of a mutual friend that choked on a hog leg... We shared lapel mic stories and Rev. Smith even gave a new fajita recipe. In the end, he featured an old singing hero of his from his youth and we found out that this man's brother was our deacons favored singer, of the two... Coincidence, I think not.

Text us here! Hershall, Rev. Nathan Wood and I sat down for a discussion on the most Holy Week in history, the week that our Lord Jesus gave his life for the sins of the world. Our holy substitute, paid the ultimate price because we could never pay. Bro.

Text us here! Hershall, as promised, I did as it was commanded in the Word and did some of my first works over. Some of those included calling you and starting over. We fired the boys because of their disrespect from last week and if wasn't no time til they showed back up in the studio. Well, I think they got the message... Speaking if messages, we had a long discussion that could've turned into a sermon. It was a needful talk about the Great Awakening. I also debuted (big word) a new character to laugh on the program during my joke segment. His name is Demetrius the Dino and he is already well loved. Another one our old works that we did was bring back another installment of Church Basement Bargains and let me tell you, they are having some difficulties down at Sis. Connie's church, but it seems that things are somewhat solvable. Hopefully you can find something enjoyable! Support the showConnect with us at https://www.podnme.org/https://youtube.com/@devinbirdsongEmail devin@podnme.orgFollow us on Instagram @podn_mePersonalities on Pod'N MePastor: Devin BirdsongDeacon: Dustin WakleySongleader: Brad CottrellHershall: Jud IngramNews Anchor, Dink Burbank: Josh SmithGen Z Boy: Brooks Birdsong
