Dr. John D. Wilsey is a Professor of Church History and Philosophy at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. After several years of talking politics in the halls or the gym, I asked if he would come on the podcast and share some wisdom. He agreed, and we had a really good chat.

Owen Hebbert had a dream.... no, like an actual dream in the middle of the night, and he wrote an entire book about it.

We did it. Despite not being able to gather in person for our book podcast about a month ago, we hopped online for an absolute riot of a podcast. We talked about all the books we read in the second half of 2024. You know the drill: these podcasts are hilarious, and I love them so much.

Brad Bout, and Andrew and Jordan Enter embarked in January 2024 to read 100 books each by the end of December. They pulled it off, and we had planned to have them crash this year's book pod, but all the regularly scheduled gentlemen came down sick, leaving the Book Boys Jr. to be the stars of the show. I LOVED talking with these guys, it takes a lot of discipline to read 100 books in a year, and their musings on the process are really worth listening to.

Jesse opened up his Logic edit file and took me track by track through his latest album Dream Journal. Bro literally wrote down his dreams for a week and made an album out of them. I loved this episode. You gotta give both this pod a listen, and go stream Dream Journal released under DJ BOD.

I sat down two of my pastors, Ryan and Jeff to hear them chat about their friendship and the early days of pastoring Immanuel Baptist Church. Over the last 20 years the church has grown from 17 to 650 members, and they have many stories from along the way. Being a member of Immanuel is one of the most meaningful aspects of my life, and I'm so grateful I got to sit down and hear these insights and wisdom from two men I respect.

William Boekestein is the pastor of Immanuel Fellowship Church in Kalamazoo, and the author Finding My Vocation: A Guide for Young People Seeking a Calling. We chatted about this book and had a seriously fantastic conversation. I wish I had read this book a decade ago.

(P5) Thank you all for listening to this monster. We talked about the nearly two hundred books we have read this year thus far. As always, I LOVE doing this podcast. These are some of the most hilarious and thoughtful brothers I could ever hope for.
