Ep. 119 | Be Like Jesus

Get ready for a mix of laughs and deep reflection as Pastor Joe and Kirsten recap the Pasta & Pie Auction. Pastor Joe defends the questionable smell of his "whipped cream beard" as a small price to pay for the students, prompting a nostalgic trip down memory lane about his own Christ in Youth (CIY) experiences—including a "crush" whose name is long lost to history. The conversation takes a serious turn during "Stump the Pastor," where Kirsten tackles a modern dilemma: how should Christians navigate mandatory pronouns in email signatures? It’s a nuanced discussion on workplace culture and personal conviction that ultimately anchors on the simple goal to "be like Jesus." They wrap up with a sneak preview of Acts 4 and the early church's first taste of opposition. Let's pop the hood!
