Pod'N Me

Text us here! Hersh, we have had a plethora (big word for abuncha) disasters when it comes to the ministry of low expectations but today may have taken the cake (an old proverb that describes what we're saying here today). We recorded 30 mins of the most flawless audio/video we may have ever recorded and wasn't recording at all... It was the same as if we were 4 friends (loose term) talking on the speaker phone to an old friend and none of it was captured... So, we started over but that didn't hinder the usual underwhelming quality of the program. We had a wonderful day today because we got to talk to an old friend of Pod'N Me and he shared a special project that he has been working on for the past few months. He's a preacher friend of mine, Rev. Zach Cordle, that I met a few years back and he actually used to do some podcasting himself. He has been doing a music project for a very special cause as you will hear on the program today. Hannah Lloyd Cornett is recording a music CD in honor of her brother and sister-in-law that were tragically taken from this life while doing mission work. The proceeds from this CD will go to a building at the Bible College that they attended and is being constructed in their honor. If you want to order the CD or find out more about it here is some information:CD's can be purchased directly through Hannah's Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/share/1JT4hYSJnf/?mibextid=wwXIfrCD's will be available around the 1st or 2nd week of July.God bless & 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, all I can say is buckle up for this one... We went longer than normal but there was no good stopping place. The competition was palpable (big word for felt) in studio 18. Speaking of felt, that's exactly what was brought up during a long rant about being insured by our Deacon Dustin... yeah, roofing felt! I think that is the first time tha was been discussed on the trash-cast. We enjoyed a new segment of wrong answers called "Riffin' on the Road" that has promises of gaining all sorts or new ways into the vacuum of the mind of Gen Z Boy, Brooks. He also shared an uncomfortable moment for me as a minister in a local electrical supply store. We had a long fought-out Tune battle in the end. All of this was with our morphed (big word for combined and changing) friend Breadly Cottrell.

Text us here! Hersh, it was mighty good to hear your voice on the program today. We always enjoy hearing from you but today you came on the show for a specific purpose. We wanted give a wonderful invitation to you and all of the listeners to come to the youth camp that we all take part in... You can see for yourself here: https://www.centralokyc.org/  what we're talking about. This year we decided to add some special Pod'N Me promotions to camp. The details are in this episode and prepare to be wowed. You will get all kinds of chances to do all kinds of stuff. Our guest host dubbed (big word for something unknown to the typist) it "Youth Camp Pod-pack" -hence the name of this episode. Another wonderful thing that happened is when you went to do your signature sign-off, there was a real hitch in the process... Speaking of a hitch in the process, we shared a recent flub up that our song leader, Bro. Brad, experienced and what followed was his exit from the country (nothing criminal and we can neither confirm nor deny whether his exit had anything to do with his departure) so we had his stunt double, Brett Cottrell subbing for him today...  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, I hope the title doesn't throw you off but we did it... I will let you listen to the program to find out exactly what IT is. I think you will be amazed at what and where we have been. All thanks to our great patrons on Patreon we were able to pull off the surprise of the century. It is a historic day here on Pod'N Me. We are just a few days past our 5th anniversary and we heard a familiar voice today. After getting that NEWs, we had a serious conversation about being desperate and finished up with a song (or two) and made it to the end and hopefully will enjoy the future but not free of offense probably...

Text us here! Hershall, here we are again for the final day of our campmeeting series for 2025. I have greatly enjoyed having these pastors, Bro. Jon Brock, Bro. Davin Burnett and Bro. Jon Isaacs in studio to talk about how Christ should be reflected in all of our lives and that even goes for every relationship that we enjoy. We continued our discussion in Ephesians on the view that Paul gave us of how we treat one another now that we are in Christ.

Text us here! Hershall, we're back again... Pastors Isaacs, Brock, and Burnett. We discussed Ephesians 4 on the five-fold ministry of the church and the goal of the ministry is to bring us to the body of Christ to a place of Unity, Diversity and Holy living. We had a great, challenging discussion. We have one more day of our camp meeting and that is tomorrow. Once again, you can view this episode for free on our YouTube page.

Text us here! Hershall, it's that time of year again. It is Campmeeting week and we have some repeat guests. Three pastor friends who were here last fall for the pastoral episodes and we've combined that idea with our campmeeting week. Rev. Jon Isaacs, Rev. Jon Brock & Rev. Davin Burnett came here to discuss the need for personal disciplines in the ministry. It really is a conversation that every believer can benefit from.

Text us here! Hershall, you read it correctly, we are really having an episode of Pod'N Me dedicated to wedding planning... We talked some things weddings today button all. We have to talk about some other stuff in the process but the weeding conversation was for good reason. One of our own, ole Gen Z Boy got a fiancé (big word for espousal), so we felt it necessary to discuss weddings. We even got a video of the episode that you can see for a small fee on our support link (the one in the show description that says "support the show" yeah, that one.

Text us here! Hershall, I know that the title seems to not go together at all, but what does go together in this world? Even here on the trash-cast it seems like we can seamlessly make thing flow together... or not. The boys (Songleader Brad, Deacon Dustin, and Gen Z Boy Brooks) suggested that we do another lucrative scheme (two big words in a row) to get more money from the podcast. A carnival was brought up and I will let you find out how that was included in the show. Speaking of lucre, we had some convicting ministry advice that I had a difficult time handling. Of course, the boys had plkeanty to offer when it came to that as well. If you want to see the video of this episode and a few others, it is available on our support link.

Text us here! Hersh, it is a privilege for us to be back with you, as always. We had a reluctance on the show today concerning the topic of antique cars. Then we went down memory lane with our song selection which is where the smoke comes in. We also had a wonderful story about Brooks collecting money from our beloved Deacon.

Text us here! Hershall, we are glad to be back with flying colors (an old adage-big word for old saying) and they guys were hitting on all cylinders (another adage) today. Well, that is all but our beloved Deacon, Dustin Wakley. As you know he has made some personal changes over the last almost 5 years that we have been recording these episodes (in a more shall we type, unsettling direction). He was the one that came out hard against animal rights when it pertains to housing and such and then took an about face (military adage) when a precious pet found herself in the clutches of his pool cover. Today he made another big change. He let us know during a recently made popular segment that he is setting out to save the Earth... Songleader Brad gave him the title of CSO (a title known as Chief Sustainability Officer) here on the show. I think you will be aghast (big word for shocked beyond belief at the way he chose to save our great planet, but it is undeniable that he is doing just that! Other things that happened today was Brooks had a real struggle reading agin so there's that. I can't recall every thing else but really why should I have to? this is only supposed to be a brief description of the show so you will go listen to it yourself. I am really overworking myself here but I do what I can for you, Hersh. In the end we talked about the false premise that the prosperity gospel puts forward that we should give to God to get something in return. That was how the show ended...

Text us here! Hershall, we had a wild ride today on the podcast... I said we because I (the boss) joined the show toward the end, fresh off of the ER visit we talked about last week. (We record every two weeks so this week's episode actually happened last week. I know it's crazy huh?) The guys started out with a strictly forbidden song and believe me, if I would've been running the program it would've never happened. That started a downward spiral into horrendous songs and that really never got better until Josh Smith redeemed us with a "Name that Tune" segment. Speaking of Josh, we had a listener who has never met Rev. Josh express their desire to do so and went on to describe what his voice sounds like he would look like (read that several times slowly to see if it makes sense). It was one of the best descriptions and it got some mileage. IN the process we found out Bro. Josh plays a mean (and fast) game of basketball. We also found out that Deacon Dustin cuts his own hair every few days and so much more. I joined at the end of the episode to tell my side of the recent wreck where God spared my life, for which I and forever grateful!

Text us here! Hershall, I am glad you showed up today even though not all of us could make it to church. We did still have four members of the podcast on the program for today and it was.. well, you'll have to listen to get the details. I (the Poderator) was involved in a vehicle collision as I was on my way home on recording day and the good news is I am doing great but, unfortunately, my vehicle didn't fare so well and the guys talk all about it on the show. Of course, they made it a funny and gave a few jabs at me here and there but thankfully I am fine and God is Good!! The guys had some great feedback and we heard from Bro. Josh that he isn't interested in attending church this Easter but it didn't hinder him from including a very good talk at the end of the show about the Resurrection of Christ... I mean, the boys got plum (big word for absolutely) serious around here.

Text us here! Hershall, we have a full episode for you today on this trash heap of a show. I can't even recall what all went on today because it feels like I have been editing my entire face off. (that's because we added video that you can experience if you would like by going to Patreon via the "support the show" link in these very show notes) We covered a bunch of stuff today including some gratitude and frustratitudes. We also had a listener trash Gen Z boy's ability to read and we got some mileage out of that... We also did an exercise to see how we all process words in a different way and somehow are able to communicate. Thanks for joining us again today.

Text us here! Hershall, I certainly hope you are doing well out there. We are always glad to have you tag along and listen to the podcast. Today, we had a somewhat serious discussion to which I seamlessly transitioned to and the boys just absolutely ridiculed me over. We talked about the challenge to prove something without going the route through their heart first. It was an interesting discussion. In the mix of conversation we also talked about the recent debacle I had on our debut video episode for the patrons over on our Patreon page. We listened to a great song and had some wonderful feedback and talked about some frastratitudes and some gratitudes...

Text us here! Hershall, Here we are per (little word for as) usual with our weekly meeting on the trash-cast. As you have become accustomed to, we bring you some hard-hitting topics mixed in low-hitting humor. Amongst (editor's question: why do we use this word without the "st" at times?) the topics this week are: cordaroy pants, main character-ing, chair moving projects, and we even through in a few names that we've heard people use for a certain kind of saw (weh-weh saw was my favorite). We also had a semi-serious conversion about closing the gap between our perception of ourself and other's perception of ourself.

Text us here! Hershall, here we go again, ending the program smelling sin, Little known in the list of topics, Would be the chance of terrible optics (big seeing word)For the pastor who endorsed some scents,That complicates our confidence....I'll leave the poetry for later, Hersh. To sum things up, I had a wreck at the end of the episode, for which I am ashamed. We talked about trusting God even when there are questions without answers. We also had some new topics never before talked about here such as: sun visors, sin-cred, pork rinds, selling seashells, corn toss (hole), and ingesting chemicals (not endorsed at all).

Text us here! Hey Hersh, good to be with you again, friend. Today was a good day and a grace filled episode. We talked about that subject from the beginning (or close) and even talked about it at the end... but in between, things got diverse (big word for all kids of). We gave some advice to some new podcasters that wrote in, we had the subject of vaccines mentioned as well as: booster seats, thank-you cards, putty knives, skin stickers and Forest Frunk (the past tense of a singer that Brooks is fond of). You will be completely underwhelmed at how we flawlessly weave a tapestry of subjects together (a preachy way to say we talked about a bunch of random stuff). We even squeezed a new segment in right at the close of the program.

Text us here! Hershall, Happy Birthday!! We were so glad to hear that you made it to 40. What a privilege it was to finally hear your voice again on Pod'N Me. We talked about some stuff today on the trash-cast. Stuff like, yodeling, Sunday School Reports, and may other various stuffs (plural word for stuff). We found out that Hershall and the Deacon Dustin have something in common that is a tad bit K-9ish... (hint hint) We also met Justin Wakley today. The Deacon gave us an indication that he is reading his Bible. We ended with a lot of unsolicited (big word for unrequested) sermon advice.

Text us here! Hershall, it is mighty good to have you here, as always, if you are here? We had another history making day here on the trash-cast. As we promised last week, we shared a new song writte... I mean, produced by Josh Smith as an intro. It will be a major billboard hit I am sure. Gen Z boy got some clarification on what a baker's dozen is and knowing his track record for math you can imagine how difficult it was to convey the concept. I also gave a heartfelt apology to Deacon Dustin over a recent win that I gave credit for but failed to give the percentage of the win... it was meaningful for him to get that apology. Although it did bring light to a major regression (big word for setback) in his walk with the Lord... not my apology, nor the win but the path in which he had to travel to win... well, you'll see. It's difficult to convey through typology (big word for typing). We had a Rich Man Poor Man segment that was a preacher's edition. It was disastrous but we made it. In the end I shared about an upcoming holiday that gained the ire (big little word meaning anger) of my cohorts.

Text us here! Hershall, this is groundbreaking stuff here today on Pod'N Me or as I said in the episode, 'history making,' if you will, and I think you will. I know it has been somewhat of mystery as to what happened to DInk Burbank aka Josh Smith. Well today we found out. He's been absent for months now and we find out that it was for a very good reason. Can we say, a music EP (abbreviation for extended play) is here and it is exclusively for Pod'N Me. You will NOT, and I retype, will NOT be disappointed. I kind of botched his intro due to difficulty in speaking today but it went well. Whilst in conversation with Josh Smith we found out he is an angel. We also wished a fan a belated (big word for "be late Ed") happy birthday (whose name likely wasn't even Ed but I digress). After some investigative skills of yours truly we found out that Josh Smith actually supplied the Deacon with his beloved dog, Puppet. We had a frustratitude during the feedback and Brooks shared some recent Sunday school reading trauma. Oh yeah, and the boys took several opportunities to demean my ministry... what's new there, huh?

Text us here! Hershall, to say this episode is a train wreck is an absolute meiosis (big word for understatement). Being Valentine's Day week, we started with a love song that has been sung (past tense of sang) in the past on here by Deacon Dustin and your humble correspondent many times. It is based off of a famous Bible story so it is legal to talk about on the podcast, but that is about all that we would classify as legal to discuss. We covered a new song that was recently released by a favorite artist of the Deacon, RT. We also find out if Brooks' is getting married and talk a good bit about his significant other. We ended with a Name That Tune segment with wedding songs that Songleader Brad has heard at some holiness weddings. It threw the Deacon into his old life of sin so fast that we had to pray to be cleansed of all unrighteousness. As we were closing the episode my youngest son, Bryce, came in to share a recent travel scare that left him shaking...

Text us here! Hershall, we always like to lead with our miscalculations (big word for mistakes) here on Pod'N Me, so, that is just exactly what I did to start the program. It was a heartfelt sorrowful plea to Bro. Brad. Then we did a re-cap of last week whilst I was at the Minister's Conference and gave some shout-outs during that time as well as allowed the boys to rail upon me some unjust insults but just like the Lord I offer forgiveness for everything that was said and in this instant they knew exactly what they were doing. In the shout out category we shouted out a podcast that I recently found out about and if you'd like to listen you can here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pulpit-to-the-pew/id1780333661  There was also was a hefty amount of gallontine talk. We had a good time doing the Gratitude/Maditude segment. Our listeners sent some valuable feedback and of course, I flawlessly executed the joke segment.

Text us here! Hersh, we started off with the deacon not being in his chair but we located him in no time. We sure hate that he didn't make it in studio but we were glad to talk to him nonetheless (three words jammed together to make no sense at all inmyopinion). We also had a rather serious discussion on how we deal with things that we can't control. We then heard from the Basement Bargains and found out that there has been a major change at their church. Gen Z Boy filled in for the Deacon on reading the Bible and it ended up introducing us to a new group of people. We ended with some very valued feedback...

Text us here! Hershall, we are here again for another great controversial episode. It matters not how many times I try to steer this church bus in the right direction, it seems that we always end up on the proverbial white line. I started a HUGE debate by telling something that I was grateful for in our new segment. It was an absolute travesty (big word for distorted) of justice, if you listen to the boys. On our growing list of grievances we added push presents and wedding debt. We ended with a "Whatcha Listenin' To?" segment following a song that I covered that deals with the pressure that we ministers feel when trying to offer some help to grieving people. When the deacon got to his song I had to pull the proverbial (big word used two many times in this description) emergency ejection lever and play a despised artist by me just to survive. It got rough at the end, folks. Hang in there with us if you can...

Text us here! Hereshall, we are sure glad to be back this week for another episode of Pod'N Me. We covered the topics and things got off track very quick. At the beginning of the trash-cast, the deacon got outed by Gen Z Boy for drinking coffee and what ensued was a description that included toenails and bellybuttons, two topics that haven't been discussed at length (get it, toenail length) here. So, leave it to the boys. I steered us back up toward the proverbial (big word) road and we started a new segment called Gratitude and Maditude.... you'll see how the boys turned that whole thing out to be a segment about my marriage grievances. We finished the day talking about dreams and landed the plane softly with a wonderful song!

Text us here! Hershall, Happy New Year! who knows what this year is going to hold for Pod'N Me. But on this first day of the year, the tension in the studio built from the very first of the episode. I play a song that gave off a couple of different ideas on the person being talked about and we couldn't decide who was on his was... you'll hear. As happens most every week, we had a myriad (big word) of topics discussed from Christmas trips to snow skiing (big word with two eyes

Text us here! Hershall, for Christmas this year we decided (me decided) to release an old episode of Pod'N Me. It was recorded in the Christmas episodes of 2022. We had you along with our Deacon & Songleader in Studio 4 (our old flag-ship studio) and that was the first year for the voice filters which transformed us into chip-monks. Things were completely out of hand and that started a tradition that has continued for the 3rd Christmas season. We gather at the first of December and record our Christmas shows in one setting. Full disclosure, this year we recorded three weekly episodes and a Pod'N Z for the premium content show on Patreon and that took over 5 hours to do so we called it a night and I made the executive decision to do a replay of this popular episode. We hope everyone has a blessed and Merry Christmas and we will see let you hear from us again in 2025, if God wills.

Text us here! Hershall, this is the most devastating day... We had a chance to redeem ourselves in the Christmas Name that Tune segment and we all failed except for one and that was Deacon Dustin, the man who can't pronounce poetry.... Before all that happened though, we had a very solid selection of a holiday gift guide for the ladies, I delivered the greatest Christmas Joke of all time, and other things happened that slip my mind as we type... (or I type) We finished strong with our final installation of the year of the Chip Voice Segment where our Songleader, Bro Brad, gave a wonderful song. We also found our that another infrequent, formerly frequent, contributor to Pod'N Me is actually a mermaid...

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!

Send us a textHershall, 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.

Send us a Text Message.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.
