Musings with Townsend and Preacher Man

Happy New Year, y'all! This week's rewind asks us to consider what it actually means to be "Holy." With all the resolutions we might be tempted to make for 2026, what if we stopped to consider just exactly what it means to be set apart from everything else; fully committed to living for Jesus.Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend andPreacher Man muse on?

This week we look back at the episode that marked our 1 year anniversary! We'd made it 52 whole weeks and took that chance to share about the difference between "having to" and "getting to." Now that most of the holidays might be behind you, we invite you to think over how important this topic actually is - the gift we're given to "get to" do all that God has asked.Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend andPreacher Man muse on?

It's almost Christmas! And, about 3 years ago - Episode 132 gave us a chance to reflect on what Christmas "JOY" actually is and how we should be seeking it, even through the hustle and bustle of the season. Plus, it's Preacher Man's name, so... you know. Gotta talk about that. ;)Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend andPreacher Man muse on?

Episode 48 was all about being grumpy - and this time of year we're maybe dealing with little folks and big folks struggling with that exact problem. One of our most listened-to episodes, we hope you can hear it again, or for the first time, and be reminded of all we have to be happy about. The world needs your happy!Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend andPreacher Man muse on?

This week's REWIND comes from December of 2021 and found Townsend and Preacher Man thinking about how important it is for people to see the world through the lens of Jesus. Sure there's negative around, but He chose to see our possibility over that. Can we see the same way? Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend andPreacher Man muse on?

Episode 34 was our first seasonal episode - our first "Podcast Thanksgiving." Recorded in November of 2020 (remember that year?!) - we reflected on our need to be thankful in every situation. 5 years later, still the same need.Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend andPreacher Man muse on?

We begin our sabbatical "REWIND" series with a look at where it all began 5 1/2 hears ago - before Preacher Man even knew that it would be easier to record in MP3 rather than WAV. He figured it out later - but you should listen in and see how it all began. Are we better, worse, or something in the middle? You decide ;)Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend andPreacher Man muse on?

Here on our last episode "pre-Sabbatical" we muse on a question asked by one of Preacher Man's favorite students of all time. And it's a good question: what happens when our loved ones pass from this life to the next? Are they sleeping? Are they stuck working out some punishments before they get to heaven? Are they longing for our presence and looking down at us? What does the Bible say...? And hey, if you read this stuff, THANK YOU for being a part of our community and sharing all these questions with us! It's a huge blessing to both of us.

Trying to understand who is and isn't telling you the truth can often be a real daunting task. Who are we supposed to trust, who are we supposed to ignore? Pull up your chair and let's consider what Jesus says in Matthew 24 about the coming signs of the end and how we'd be dealing with some false folks. How will we know they're false? Glad you asked...

Free will is the idea that you are completely free to make whatever choice you want. But the question comes in screaming hot when you wonder how that freedom of choice can coexist with an omniscient God who knows everything and can do everything, too. Do these things cancel one another out or something?!

A listener requested topic regarding the Christian faith and the idea of disowning a family member. Maybe we've all experienced a person (or people) who simply refused to come to the table and be reconciled but are we allowed/permitted to cast them off? Join us in musing on that and see if God doesn't give you some direction in whatever situation you might be facing!Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend andPreacher Man muse on?

Have we ever mentioned how much we LOVE it when you guys ask questions?! WE LOVE IT! Keep those thoughts and questions coming!This week's episode is a response to a double-request regarding the same topic. We hope you tune in and listen, but that you'll also let this episode (and all of them for that matter) encourage you to dive deeper into your own faith as a result of the musing we do here today. God's ready for you - grab a Bible and let's do this!Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend and Preacher Man muse on?

Money is a tough subject and probably always has been. But, no matter - this episode is a response to a listener request, a question about how you know about how to spend your money. Does it matter only about big things, little things, or all the things? Pull up your chair and let's see what we can come up with.

Don't play - you know what we're talking about. Words that your momma would wash your mouth out with soap over... 4-letter words. Bad words. Ugly words.Cuss Words.Are they sinful? Are they the words that the Bible speaks about when it says not to say "obscene" thing and to let no "unwholesome" stuff come out of our mouths? Glad you asked - cause we're gonna muse on it.**PS - THIS IS A LISTENER REQUESTED TOPIC AND THAT MAKES ME SO VERY HAPPY!!**Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend and Preacher Man muse on?

Folks - an audible was called on this episode. Preacher Man's wife was a part of the pre-game before recording and Townsend said "I think this is what we should talk about..."This episode is that - two folks musing and ramblin' about recent events and the powerful testimony of forgiveness that was recently displayed by Erika Kirk. But, still no Mrs. Preacher Man. She's a tough one on avoiding the microphone. ;)Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend and Preacher Man muse on?

The cards pause once again, but this time not from a listener request - this is more of a "what we did last week" sort of episode. So, you're invited to sit down while we peel the curtain back on how the events of last week differed between Townsend and Preacher Man and how it all might tie together.Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend and Preacher Man muse on?

"What do you imagine the church will be like one hundred years from now?"I won't hide the punchline here, folks... if we don't do something soon - we're going to watch the church in America become a footnote of history; as it relates to her effectiveness. But, just because a thing is heading in the wrong direction DOESN'T mean it has to keep going that way. You can change it! We can change it! First, though, let's muse.Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend and Preacher Man muse on?

"Should a Christian protest against unjust government policies? How do you define 'unjust'?"Maybe you don't spend a lot of time thinking about protesting, but should you? Does protest just mean picket lines, signs, and slogans - or is it something else... something more? Sit down, tune in, and think about it with us this week as we consider a Christian's place in the world of protesting.Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend and Preacher Man muse on?

We're back to our cards for this one (insert sad face here), but that's alright. This week is a topic that we would have pulled from the box over a month a go - musing on whether we think God knows the future and why we think what we think. Don't be shocked... but the answer is in the Bible!

**LISTENER REQUEST** AGAIN!!Look y'all - you've spoiled with these past episodes with your requests and we LOVE IT! So, send more!! Cause this is the last one I've gotten. And it's a good one too - a reflection on how you know you're hearing from God and how you can better know that it's righteous instruction you're being given by Him vs. letting your own desires or the words of the enemy direct your path. Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend and Preacher Man muse on?
