Church folk are often good at knowing what the Bible says on any given theological topic. Is Calvinism or Ariminism better? Who is right when it comes to eschatology? While the main thrust of this episode is not geared towards an in-depth look at these theological viewpoints, Joe and Nick talk through how theological differences can lead to church hurt. Additionally, we briefly discuss the difference between heresy and orthodoxy. Often, a person may disagree with the theological perspective of someone else, but it doesn't make them a heretic. We believe there are fine lines between heresy, error, and orthodoxy. Specifically, in this episode, Joe and Nick discuss how their views on the "Baptism of the Holy Spirit" differ but use it as a way to talk through how these differences don't separate them from being brothers in Christ and being in community together. The episode includes a Micro-skit and Riding Nerdy Segment...Micro-Skit: "Oranges and Bananas: How do we pronounce these words?"Contents: Time Stamps00:00 - Intro01:07 - Micro-Skit - Oranges & Bananas04:05 - Everyone's a Theologian 08:32 - Riding Nerdy Segment - Theology 16:58 - Theology, Baptism, & Differences 31:39 - Talking Thorugh Differences38:20 - Closing Thoughts****Church hurt definition: events or circumstances that arise or are caused mainly by a member or a group of members of the body of Christ; these events or circumstances, even if no ill-intent, evil, or wickedness was meant, inflict, bring about, lead to, or damage other members (s) within the body of Christ to the point that it may cause spiritual abuse, offense, separation, division, long-term spiritual consequences (or implications), and/or leads to some abandoning their faith in Christ.

If you attend church long enough, you'll probably encounter some mean church folk. Even if those mean church folk have well-meaning intentions, it is still possible for a person to walk away hurt, battered, or bruised from these types of encounters. In this episode, Joe and Nick recount some of their own PK stories where they encountered mean church folk and discuss how they now view those encounters.

Do you serve in some ministry capacity (e.g., pastor, worship leader, youth minister, usher, etc.) but feel overworked, under-appreciated, and ready to boil over? Join the PKs as they talk about an all too familiar story in the church world - followers of Jesus who serve in the body that are reaching their breaking point. Typically, if not addressed, when things boil over, church hurt is likely to follow.

This episode contains our first-ever "Mirco-skit!"Politics, politics, politics! Is church politics a bad thing? Maybe. Maybe not. In this episode of the Church Hurt Series, Joe and Nick spend a considerable amount of time discussing how one aspect of church politics (voting) has caused church hurt over the years. We aren't saying that voting is good or bad; instead, the focus of this episode is on what often happens when people "play politics" in church.

Have you been hurt by the church? Have you been the one who caused hurt at church? What exactly is church hurt?The PKs attempt to provide their own working definition of "church hurt" in this episode and set up the rest of the series.

In other words, this episode is a broad overview of defining the subject matter. SO, join the PKs as they discuss an all too familiar topic in the church world - CHURCH HURT. ****church hurt definition: events or circumstances that arise or are caused mainly by a member or a group of members of the body of Christ; these events or circumstances, even if no ill-intent, evil, or wickedness was meant, inflict, bring about, lead to, or damage other members (s) within the body of Christ to the point that it may cause spiritual abuse, offense, separation, division, long-term spiritual consequences (or implications), and/or leads to some abandoning their faith in Christ.

WARNING: Laughter and, more deeply, joy feels our hearts. In this episode of the Dad Series, Joe and Nick embark on Part 1 of sharing some funny stories related to their dads.
Get ready for our first "Riding Nerdy" segment!!In the 4th installment of the Dad Series is all about Resurrection. Joe and Nick have spent some time talking through death and grief, but now, they will spend this episode talking about why they place their hope and faith in the resurrection of Jesus. The resurrection of Jesus is a fundamental doctrine of the Christian faith. The PKs discuss this and even some of the historical evidence that we have to prove the resurrection of Jesus. We hope this episode will fill you with joy, faith, and hope as we reflect together on the promises Christ has given us. His resurrection is our resurrection. We know where our dads are - in the eternal presence of God.
After discussing their fathers' deaths, in this episode, Joe and Nick talk about the road of grief and the process of walking down that road. They share some insight about what takes place as you are grieving while providing a biblical perspective on the death of a loved one. This is the third episode of the "Dad Series" and another more serious one. We hope you like it and it helps you. If you know someone dealing with death, please share this with them. As always, please leave a comment. The PKs would love to have a conversation with you.
In the third episode, the PKs (Joe & Nick) wrap up the introductory series by showing their PK skills. The challenge has been set. To prove their PK credibility, Joe & Nick will be asked to preach a 3-minute sermon on a random item the other selects. This episode's inspiration derives from their younger days attending Junior Camp when they were little PKs. To memorialize Pastor Bubba, aka Jim Smith, who used to do "The Sermon Box" at camp, Joe & Nick will attempt to match feats with him and each other. Background: Pastor Bubba would randomly select campers and give them the sermon box; they were then allowed to find any random object on the campgrounds that could fit in the box. Pastor Bubba would then have to preach a sermon on the item at the next service. Can Joe & Nick each preach for 3 minutes on a random item? Tune in to see.
This is the 2nd episode and part 2 of "The Journey of a PK."In the second episode of our introductory series, Joe interviews Nick and asks him why he is considered a PK.
