Today's episode was recorded on National Adoption Day while waiting in the drive through line at Chick-Fil-A! I wasn't really planning on an episode this week as I am struggling with a really bad man cold, but my son Davontae really wanted to be a guest on the podcast. So, you'll hear a lot of background noise, but you'll also hear a fourth grade understanding of the gospel and a few thoughts about adoption sprinkled into Davontae's insights on life.

In this edition of the podcast we resurrect the Reigning in Ray format, in which Pastor Ray Jewell and I answer your questions. This week we talk about a book idea Ray has for the both of us then spend the rest of the podcast talk to Ray about what living life with Parkinson's Disease is like. If you have a question (theological, political, person or random) you would like us to chat about in a future episode, leave a comment on one of our social media posts or email it to amputatedbaptist@gmail.com.

To the Glory of God Ministries

This week's episode was recorded at the Stateline Youth Conference last week. As I manned my booth, right across from me was cartoonist Paul Cox of Reftoons, a fascinating ministry. Where else would you find a graphic novel describing the Reformation or even Calvin's Institutes? His website tells us that their goal is to "preserve the legacy of theologians of the past by producing humorous and thought-provoking comic strips that bring clarity to various biblical teachings through visual storytelling."
