#161 Can you be a worship leader who is not a people person?
Is that opening refrain of Amazing Grace there to bring in the Holy Spirt or just to butter you up? Is Devin Shelton more of a ladies man than we ever imagined? Is it possible to be a worship leader who is not a people person? Also, can somebody buy Toby a Yeti tumbler and a working car ASAP!

#156 The Death of the Sermon
Does the current model of the Church need to be scrapped? Should we kill the sermon or is it already dead? Is my small group just a way for me to feel like am doing something without really doing anything? Should Church look more like the TonightShow with guests and a band? These are just some of the topics Toby, Matt and Joey get into this week. Hold on to your Bibles, it’s about to get real!
