This is a weekly podcast with me, my mic, and my friends. We call our weekly segments a Pod’n Meetin’ and it is released on midweek service day... Wednesday. I also do interviews that are released once a month or whenever I can get them released with some of the wonderful folks I’ve met over the years. I have no huge ambitions with this other than to share a story and hopefully have a laugh along the way. I am a pastor and was raised in a pastor's home. I've had the high honor of meeting some special folks...

Grace & Seepy-time with Brooks

Text us here! Hey Hersh, good to be with you again, friend. Today was a good day and a grace filled episode. We talked about that subject from the beginning (or close) and even talked about it at the end... but in between, things got diverse (big word for all kids of). We gave some advice to some new podcasters that wrote in, we had the subject of vaccines mentioned as well as: booster seats, thank-you cards, putty knives, skin stickers and Forest Frunk (the past tense of a singer that Brooks is

Hershall's 40th & Justin Wakley

Text us here! Hershall, Happy Birthday!! We were so glad to hear that you made it to 40. What a privilege it was to finally hear your voice again on Pod'N Me. We talked about some stuff today on the trash-cast. Stuff like, yodeling, Sunday School Reports, and may other various stuffs (plural word for stuff). We found out that Hershall and the Deacon Dustin have something in common that is a tad bit K-9ish... (hint hint) We also met Justin Wakley today. The Deacon gave us an indication that he is

New Intro Song?

Text us here! Hershall, it is mighty good to have you here, as always, if you are here? We had another history making day here on the trash-cast. As we promised last week, we shared a new song writte... I mean, produced by Josh Smith as an intro. It will be a major billboard hit I am sure. Gen Z boy got some clarification on what a baker's dozen is and knowing his track record for math you can imagine how difficult it was to convey the concept. I also gave a heartfelt apology to Deacon Dustin ov

A HUGE SURPRISE!!! with Josh Smith

Text us here! Hershall, this is groundbreaking stuff here today on Pod'N Me or as I said in the episode, 'history making,' if you will, and I think you will. I know it has been somewhat of mystery as to what happened to DInk Burbank aka Josh Smith. Well today we found out. He's been absent for months now and we find out that it was for a very good reason. Can we say, a music EP (abbreviation for extended play) is here and it is exclusively for Pod'N Me. You will NOT, and I retype, will NOT be di

Wither Thou Goest We Won't Go

Text us here! Hershall, to say this episode is a train wreck is an absolute meiosis (big word for understatement). Being Valentine's Day week, we started with a love song that has been sung (past tense of sang) in the past on here by Deacon Dustin and your humble correspondent many times. It is based off of a famous Bible story so it is legal to talk about on the podcast, but that is about all that we would classify as legal to discuss. We covered a new song that was recently released by a favor

Apologies, Shout-outs and Saying Amen

Text us here! Hershall, we always like to lead with our miscalculations (big word for mistakes) here on Pod'N Me, so, that is just exactly what I did to start the program. It was a heartfelt sorrowful plea to Bro. Brad. Then we did a re-cap of last week whilst I was at the Minister's Conference and gave some shout-outs during that time as well as allowed the boys to rail upon me some unjust insults but just like the Lord I offer forgiveness for everything that was said and in this instant they k

Make Welcome, the Guessureans!

Text us here! Hersh, we started off with the deacon not being in his chair but we located him in no time. We sure hate that he didn't make it in studio but we were glad to talk to him nonetheless (three words jammed together to make no sense at all inmyopinion). We also had a rather serious discussion on how we deal with things that we can't control. We then heard from the Basement Bargains and found out that there has been a major change at their church. Gen Z Boy filled in for the Deacon on re

The Won-ton Debate

Text us here! Hershall, we are here again for another great controversial episode. It matters not how many times I try to steer this church bus in the right direction, it seems that we always end up on the proverbial white line. I started a HUGE debate by telling something that I was grateful for in our new segment. It was an absolute travesty (big word for distorted) of justice, if you listen to the boys. On our growing list of grievances we added push presents and wedding debt. We ended with a

Gratitude, Maditude & Dreams

Text us here! Hereshall, we are sure glad to be back this week for another episode of Pod'N Me. We covered the topics and things got off track very quick. At the beginning of the trash-cast, the deacon got outed by Gen Z Boy for drinking coffee and what ensued was a description that included toenails and bellybuttons, two topics that haven't been discussed at length (get it, toenail length) here. So, leave it to the boys. I steered us back up toward the proverbial (big word) road and we started

Somebody's Coming

Text us here! Hershall, Happy New Year! who knows what this year is going to hold for Pod'N Me. But on this first day of the year, the tension in the studio built from the very first of the episode. I play a song that gave off a couple of different ideas on the person being talked about and we couldn't decide who was on his was... you'll hear. As happens most every week, we had a myriad (big word) of topics discussed from Christmas trips to snow skiing (big word with two eyes👀), to witnessing f

Piph-nee and the Little Dumber Boys Revisited

Text us here! Hershall, for Christmas this year we decided (me decided) to release an old episode of Pod'N Me. It was recorded in the Christmas episodes of 2022. We had you along with our Deacon & Songleader in Studio 4 (our old flag-ship studio) and that was the first year for the voice filters which transformed us into chip-monks. Things were completely out of hand and that started a tradition that has continued for the 3rd Christmas season. We gather at the first of December and record our Ch

Deacon's Big Speech & Poitree

We had a chance to redeem ourselves in the Christmas Name that Tune segment and we all failed except for one and that was Deacon Dustin, the man who can't pronounce poetry.... Before all that happened though, we had a very solid selection of a holiday gift guide for the ladies, I delivered the greatest Christmas Joke of all time, and other things happened that slip my mind as we type...

Fruitcakes & Gift Advice

Text us here! Hersh, the folks are going to feel valued after today. We spent time giving advice to the ladies on what to buy their men for Christmas. Most of the items we discussed were given a green light by the men in Studio 18. We also ate a fruitcake on air and were persuasive enough to get the Emma-fluencer and Loretta to chaw (big word for chew in the past tense) on some of the festive cake. In the end the Chips had a disastrous day discussing an overweight aunt of theirs named Vaxine or

Dustin's Wig and the Christmas Chips

Text us here! Hershall, it was so good to have you here for the first installment of the Christmas 2024 episodes. We found out some stuff here today, per usual. But, one of the greatest things we found out was that our Deacon used to wear a wig. We reviewed a very helpful Christmas gift guide because it is our intentions to help with our audience in their endeavors to shop for their significant friends and family. We finished by hearing from the ever popular Christmas Chip-monks with an added Ge

A Thanksgiving Train Wreck

Text us here! Hersh, fair warning here, this episode is a complete eye-roller. I did my best to annoy my co-hosts and was 100% successful! I seamlessly worked some of the worst jokes and Thanksgiving trivia throughout this entire episode. The annoyance was so bad that Deacon Dustin was requesting that the recording equipment be unplugged from the wall... Anyway, we do want everyone to have a Happy and filling Thanksgiving Day...  Enjoy! Support the showConnect with us at https://www.podnme.org/h

The boys never forget that and so I acknowledged that today. We talked about a recent invitation to be the M. C.

Text us here! Hershall, we have a change up for you this week. We decided to allow Brooks (Gen Z Boy) to host an episode to give all of our listeners a taste of what happens over on our premium content show called Pod'N Z. We had a guest on here via the telephone that shared many things with us. He's no stranger to Pod'N Me, Mr. Josh Smith! We talked about some hard hitting topics such as Jack-A-Lopes, Memorial Highways and even delved (big word) into some childhood fears. We missed the Deacon a

We followed that with feedback and heard from some of our listeners about how we're doing with this trash-cast. We ended the program today with our beloved song leader bringing the red-back hymn book in for a random challenge of guessing the lyrics.

Text us here! Hershall, good to hear from you again today on this episode. It has been a while since we have heard your voice. Before we called though, we had much to talk about. I told of a near danger experience I had on our annual Men's Camp Trip which the boys tried their best not to let me tell all that happen as it happened. We also had some feedback and during that segment, our song leader gave a lil lesson to ole Gee Z Boy. It was quite a combo-nation. All in all, we had a good time. Enj

Dealing With Besetting Sins (Pastoral Series)

Text us here! Hershall, we are on the final day of our pastoral series with Rev. Jon Brock, Rev. Davin Burnett and Rev. Jon Isaacs. I am fully convinced that this is the most important conversation I have ever had on this podcast. I hope that many people will listen and hopefully gain some insight on how to handle this sensitive topic of besetting sin. The discussion centered over one particular sin of pornography and for that reason, I gave a disclaimer at the beginning of the episode that pare

Text us here! Hersh, we're back again for day two of our Pastoral Series. Today we talked about the significance of Sunday School and how challenged we feel to allow that practice to become a time where we look into the Word of God. We acknowledged  some weaknesses in our own ministries when we view teaching as unnecessary. We also talked about another often neglected part of our worship experiences and that is the sacraments of the Lord's Supper and Baptism in water. Pastors Jon Brock, Davin Bu

Being that it is Pastor Appreciation Month, I wanted to have some conversations hopefully giving a glimpse of some of the things that we grapple with in pastoral ministry.

Graceful Ways to Say Good Night

Text us here! Hershall, check your voicemail... we had to leave you a message when you failed to take our call. we had some big news to share about our great success. Before all of that happened though, we talked about the gift of grace. It got so serious that we couldn't even feel worthy to use the normal feedback sound. We explored some different topics like whether we are supposed to lick our fingers after chip consumption. I shared some recent feedback that caused me to feel very conflicted.

The beloved Deacon is out this week on vacation and we had a wonderful time with the twin to our Songleader, Bro. Brett Cottrell. He has been a guest here before but it has been a while.

The Feet-washing Debate with Hershall & Loretta

Text us here! Hersh, it’s finally here… the time we’ve all been waiting for. We decided to release the highly un-anticipated episode that settled the debate on whether we should observe the traditional washing of feet or not. This was recorded several months ago with we and our wives. Due to a heavy traval schedule, we were unable to record our regular show so I felt it was a prime time to let the world here that we had made some definitive decisions on this topic.

The reason being, It would be an immensurable (big word meaning endless amount) calculation of apologies. We had Josh Smith (formerly known as Rev.

To Be Honest, We Love Dogs

Text us here! Hershall, today is a wonderful day on the virtual church cast. I allowed Bro. Brooks to start the program and he did a wonderful rendition (big word) of Deacon Dustin leading service in my absence. We moved from there to speak about the importance of keeping our word and it got plum (rural idiom to describe an extreme amount of something) convicted. After that we had some feedback during which the Songleader, Brad Cottrell, suggested that Dustin start a ministry doing Kid's Cr

Our Relationship with the Bible with Rev. Nathan Wood

Text us here! Hershall, as we announced a few weeks back we are doing an interview series as some bonus content. Thanks to our Patreon supporters, we are able to produce more content that is free to the listeners. This will be the first of several shorter episodes that I recorded with Rev. Nathan Wood. He is a pastor friend that has been on Pod'N Me before during our campmeeting episodes last year. We discussed what our relationship with the Bible has been like over the years. I hope that w

Talking to Our Hearts & Piph-nee's Sister

Text us here! Hershall, We finally did it... I know, it's been a while but we had a serious conversation. But that was after we received an unexpected call from you. We heard Deacon Dustin's new motorcycle and talked about Robert-wire tattoos. In the feedback segment we heard found out, through a mispronunciation, that an ole favorite from a Christmas episode, Piph-nee, has a sister named Heth'r. (the previous sentence had entirely too many commas) We had a wonderful  rendition (b

Moped Gangs and Chicklamels

Text us here! Hershall, what a catastrophe (big word that looks like it's pronounced 'cǎt-ǔh-strōf') this episode became. I don't even know where to start in explaining but we started talking about dentistry and it quickly was morphed (another big word) in to talking about eye whitening and peeeenched jaws. I shared a childhood teeth correcting trauma (big word) of mine. I then read an email from a valued listener that revealed the possibility of Deacon Dustin having the appe

Deacon Dustin Was Raptured and Theories Conspired

Text us here! Hersh, first of all, thanks for your assistance in trying to help us locate the Deacon. We ended up calling you first and when you couldn't find him, we called our investigative journalist, Dink Burbank. He worked on the case for a little bit, to no avail (big word for productive end). Come to find out, an event involving a Rapture had a great deal to do with his whereabouts.... you'll see. After we settled that we strapped on a tin foil hat we borrowed from Bro. Brad and

Buttons, Burbank & Billy Bob

Send us a Text Message.Hersh, buckle up.... This is a day and a half packed in an hour. We had so much happen today that I can't even recall it all. We had some wonderful button history, talked about things that are obsolete, had a wonderful gospel song in the beginning. Editor's Note: after the song was played I tried to call a good friend of mine that is a southern gospel historian of sorts. He didn't answer the phone -and I edited that all out- but texted later in the recording

Resurrection Week Revisited with Rev. Tim Hudson

Hershall, This year for this Holy Week we decided to do something that we've not done just yet on the podcast. That is, to revisit an earlier episode of Pod'N Me. After almost four  years of recording episodes on this podcast,  there are many things that happened in the past on this show that has been so meaningful. One of those moments happened three years ago on Easter week. I had a good friend on here to talk about the significance of this week to the world. This one fact is the very foundati

Decorating at Shechem with Jacob Wakley of Old

Text us here! Hershall, I'm glad you're here, if you are. In the course of the usual turn of events we had a many topic-ed service today on the trash-cast. We ended the program with the ever popular "Name That Tune" segment, but to begin with, we had a rather bitter start. It seemed that the feedback along with the general attitude of the boys was a touch on the bitter side. We did finally manage to bring the show around but the bitterness crept (big word for past tense of cr

Qwin-o Chips & Warshin' Hands

Send us a Text Message.Hersh, we had a special guest on today. It is the Deacon's son... what a privilege it was to have him today. We took a poll on the Patreon page (see support link below) and asked who would be a suitable next guest on Pod'N Me and the voters decided a member of the family of our Deacon was their choice.  We had a wild ride today. This is a Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten Free episode... speaking of that, I had a little slip of the vision when trying to read the label on th

Detoxing, Su'dees & Cadoo's

Text us here! Hershall, t'was a pleasure to hear your voice on the airwaves today. I was especially  phelgmatic (big word for not showing emotion), yet very ecstatic (big word) about your kind acceptance of the new premium content that we released at the first of the month. After we said goodbye, we had some feedback and that's where the concerning title came in... one of our listeners was asked to detox (big word for get un-addicted) from Pod'N Me. We also covered some very impor

The Grand Marshall of Pod'N Me, Rev. David Brimm

Text us here! Hershall, It was big doin's (lesser words meaning large performances) on Pod'N Me today.... Though I have interviewed our guest today, he has ne'er (little word meaning never) been in Studio 18 to record in person with us. His name is Rev. David Brimm and he is the guy that I called to get advice from when I was contemplating (big word for thinking about) the start of this trash heap of a podcast. I always wanted to have someone to blame I guess. We made much ado (li

Phobias and A Change to the Show

Hersh, you read it right we have some big changes on the way this week that is completely explained in the episode today. I know you won't be disappointed with the collaborative (big word for combined faculties of mental brainstormability) efforts that we used to arrive at the  change referenced in the title. Before we talked about the change, we had quite a lengthy discussion about phobias (big word for unbalanced fears) that we have. Fair warning, Deacon Dustin is scared of something that

A Gallon-tine's Day Party

Send us a Text Message.Hershall, you read it correctly, if you did. Here it is another special pagan holiday that we as Christian's can all unite behind and I certainly hope you took our reminder last week and got Loretta something special to show your unwavering devotion to her.... Enough about you guys, let me tell you what happened here today. We had a fuliginous (big word of the week) time today. There was certainly some virtual soot that was sprayed upon the airwaves.

The Favorite Child and Pastor Brad

Hersh, you read it right, our very own Songleader had tried his hand at politics and now he is taking over as pastor here at Pod'N Me. (I'm quite sure he's not going to make it in the ministry but he gives it his best shot today. We had Bryce, my youngest son to here today to talk about who is the favorite child in this household as well as include some trivia for a beloved cow-dog in his life. Gen Z Boy was also here to do a very special Name That Tune segment in preparation for

IN the Minister's Conference & Wearing Earwigs

Text us here! Hershall, you need not that I should write unto thee concerning the former portion of the title, because thou wast there. (previous string of words was KJV sounding) I am referring to your presence at the Minister's Conference that I attended last week and which you are a part of because your father implored (big word for beg) you to be. I have attended this particular conference on occasion but none was so much embarrassing for me as this year. I gave our audience the 'b

Tabor Your Neighbor

Text us here! Hersh, may I ask a question? Do you like it when a preacher gets up and asks for you to turn to your neighbor (the person to the left or right of you on the church -not your actual neighbor) and tell said person something that the preacher said to say? (If you're keeping track, I asked two questions) Well, we have a new way of approaching your neighbor/person beside you in church. After all, you tune in to this show every week to learn valuable stuff and we keep delivering. We

President Brad-en & The Dorkies Group

Hershall, it's always good to be with you. Every week you show up and we try our best to do the same. Well, I don't really know how to describe what happened today. We did have an important update on Dink Burbank for those that are worried about his absence. We found out that Deacon Dustin has lived most of his spiritual life going from glen to glen and even to dales (words that dual as men's names and vales).... That realization came from a conversation we had about songs that us

Handling Promotion & Bifurcating Eyelids

Text us here! Hershall, how about that title? Yep, you can tell by the title that we had some varied topics, which is something I know you've come to expect. We started out the Deacon had an ailment (big word for health problem) that he asked our advice on how to handle... then as I do because I am a minister, I turned the discussion to a more spiritual topic. We discussed how we are supposed to handle promotion in the kingdom of God. We had some feedback that caused the resident homeschool

Interruptions & A Puppet Update

Hershall, Happy New Year! Good to be back with you (in a virtual sense). We started off the program with a rather serious conversation and it was really time. We talked about how to deal with life's interruptions. We then moved to an update about Deacon Dustin's beloved dog, Puppet. She got a gift which we opened on air. While the Deacon was reading about the contents of the gift, he made a costly homeschooled mistake which we didn't let slide. President Brad appointed a new cabin

Post-Christmas Blues, Reflecting & More Chips

Hersh, here I come a wrotin' (big word meaning the past tense of writing cause when you read this I will have already wrote -or typed- this) to you, again. I act like you don't know a thing that went on here today and you know the majority of what went on because you were present for the fun. When I say fun, I mean fun. We heard a story in the beginning from the boys (title used for the song leader and deacon combined that has somewhat become a term of endearment which is another big word) about

Basement Announcements and Loretta & The Chips

Hersh, we can let the secret out now. Loretta is a stellar (big word for star or outstanding) singer. She made her debut with The Chips in an unprecedented (big word sounding like a country without a leader but meaning unmatched) level of sheer (another big word that I really don't know but thought it fit in the sentence) talent. Speaking of podcasts without true leadership, Songleader Brad (vague reference to the new Pod'N Me president) just about gets ousted (I mean really... how man

My Buddies, Glow Worms & Long Tongue-d Dogs with Emma Ingram

Hershall, Whew (big word for exasperated sound), what a day! You were here so I don't have to share anything with you but for the sake of the crowd gathered here I'll give a brief description. We started off strong with a return from the very popular Christmas singing group, Hershall & The Chips! They will be with us throughout the rest of the month. Then, we made history by having your youngest offspring, Emma Ingram (affectionately known as The Emma-Fluencer)on the program to talk about a few

Text us here! Hershall, the Pod'N Me Christmas festivities are in full swing here! We look forward to the month and started off with a proverbial bang! It didn't take long for our Beloved Deacon to offend a couple of groups of Pod'N Me constituents. We had a conversation bout when and how Christmas decor is legal to be put up. Hersh, the boys seem to be in a very festive mood this year.  Deacon Dustin told us about a trick that he uses to light his tree and also get around the wel

President Cottrell's New Administration with Hershall

Text us here! Hersh, It feels so idiosyncratic (huge word for odd) that I am still the one doing these episode descriptions and we have a brand new president of this lowly esteemed podcast. As you know because he called you today and got your full support, President Brad Cottrell has been officially inaugurated as the Commander-in-chief of the podcast and his Vice President is our very own beloved Deacon Dustin Wakley. As for me, my feelings have been hurt a bit but I am now Speaker of the House

The very first Pod'N Me Presidential Debate takes place and you get to hear the outcome. Since this is trademarked under the major network(s), I will keep the details to a minimum (big word for little said). Thanks for all you do and should there be a major change in leadership, I will always show my support for you as the greatest listener of all time... T

I can't even begin to remember all that went on so I'll just let you listen and find out that way... Please stay tuned til the end because we played an old game with a new twist called, Ashamed of That Tune although it wasn't planned that way. We finished with Dink Making a Ginormous-ly

There was another absence but we don't concentrate on what we didn't have, we colligate (big word for unite) behind what we do have and go on with the program. We made a HUGE announcement about the next couple of weeks that is no doubt going to amaze all who listen and bring glad tidings to most hearts. A pol

A Lorry Load of Spiritual Advice

Hershall, We had quite a day here on the church-cast. To start with, our beloved Deacon missed church. We had a great fill-in named Brooks S. Birdsong. He is a young man that has been on Pod'N Me previously and he did a/an (insert catchy adjective)  job at filling in today. We invited our audience to just "come as you are" and not to feel bad about the way they look for the virtual service. We were incorrectly corrected by a listener in the feedback segment. I also brought a stell

Drive-Thru, Hunting & Velvet Jeans

Text us here! Hersh, We have a wonderful show lined up today. I don't for one moment think that you'll be disappointed (big word for malcontent). As the title gave away, we started with a very relevant discussion on drive-thru food and we even had the production room doing some great work for added effects. That talk led to a comment about blue and other colors of chicken. We seamlessly moved to other topics, some of which we brought up by the listeners in the feedback segment. Topics

Hershall's Helping Heifers

Text us here! Hershall, it was an honor to speak to you today via the telephone and we look forward to the time when you are in the new Studio 18. We talked about a few things prior to you being on here including a serious portion at the beginning of the show to remind us how much we need God in these troubled days! We also had some great feedback, as always. Dink was almost absent for his news segment which resulted in a last minute emergency fill-in, Rev. Andrew Blevins, who was incidentally l

Runnin' Tars Off and Maintenance Incidents with Rev. Andrew Blevins

Hershall, We did exactly what the title states at the beginning of the show today. We plum ran a tar off of the virtual church bus. Thankfully we were able to get it back rollin' in the right direction. Speaking of rollin' down the road, we shared a song that was requested by a real trucker friend that is also a Southern Gospel Music Connoisseur (big word for an expert). He will be very pleased to hear his request being granted. That led to a discussion on quartet bass singers (all riveting cont

Text us here! Hershall, you read the title correct... There is a new Birdsong on the podcast, but then again, why am I telling you? She was a member of your church before someone stole her heart... We talk about the previle..... challenges of becoming a Birdsong. We also heard a song about a church pew at the first of the program. We tell our awkward first encounters with the new Birdsong girl as well as get her perspective on this trash pile of a podcast. (Hint: she was a fan before the possibi

Text us here! Hersh, I almost quit the podcast but after much contemplation (big word for ponder), I acquiesced (one of the biggest words ever used on here meaning to reluctantly accept) the fact that Pod'N Me wouldn't be what it is without me. I DID have to have a heart to heart talk with my co-horts. Let's just say they both seemed very shook up at the possibility of me resigning my all important position as "President Everything" on here. We did manage to have an exce

Text us here! Hershall, before you have your phone blowing up with upset fans questioning what has went on with our News Anchor, Dink Burbank, I ask you to please read the episode title again carefully. He is still on staff but he did have a very close brush with career disaster. We'll just suffice (big word) it to say that for now. After that Brad started the service with a favorite hymn from a favorite group. We disclosed a new detail on Studio 18. We had some great feedback per usual. Th

Dustin describe the scenes here in the vast complex that is Pod'N Me's new home. To hear them talk, it is something of beauty that we all feel proud (in the correct way) of.

I decided to start off the show with a very moving account (otherwise known as a joke) about a newly wed friend of mine up north who's wife is fond of ailing fowls. We followed that by some feedback where so much happened that we even forgot we were in the middle of an email... Bro. Dustin was triggered when he though his family tree was going to be cut on and threatened Bro. Brad so much that I thought they would have

Tithe Talk and Questioning Why

Hershall, I know by the title that you are saying, 'finally they are dealing with the topic of tithing!' And I am quite sure that most of your friends and family (aka cousins) that listen are waiting to hear the opinions that we have on the subject of tithing... Well, the episode took this turn as I was attempting to thank the audience for their continued support and the boys (Songleader Brad and Deacon Dustin) just took the subject and ran with it. It was virtually (see what I did the

We also had a studio audience (my youngest son Bryce and Dustin's son Jaxon) and got a gift from one of them.

Another treasure is the two men that are co-hosts along side your humble correspondent... Bro. Brad Cottrell and Bro. Dustin Wakley.

Hershall, we're happy to bring you another fine episode today but this was all we had... er, I mean, we were able again to deliver. The show started with possibly a  resuscitation or recitation. I was accused of being one of the sons of Gath. We were asked to start a dating advice service. Bro. Brad suggested that my humor was fowl.

After over three years doing this podcast, we actually had a serious (well that's debatable because we can't seem to have those) conversation about allowing you and the other 9 listeners to have a way to support the show... It was a rather uncomfortable conversation for all three of us (me, the Songleader & the Deacon). After that, we had a wonderful feedback segment during which we had a listener tell us how her young child got h

Well, I won't spoil the ending for you so just listen to find out what happens.

Hershall, what a day is all I can say! Thanks for listening in again. Twas a wonderful time we had today. We started off with a heated (not really) debate about clapping in church. Following that, I actually jokingly (big word that never flows well when spoken) quit the podcast to be a sailor. The Songleader gave an emotional review followed  by many more reviews. We learned what a high class chuckle is and we discussed a popular eating establishment which is the hot e of their signature roll th

Hershall, I don't want to give away too much information in this description, but I think someone, who's voice has been a staple here at Pod'N Me, may be in jeopardy (big word for danger) of losing their position here... You'll find out very soon. We had a rather serious talk toward the beginning of the show about the methods of worship versus the object of worship. Then we covered a plethora (big word for many) of topics including: preaching advise, how to open charcoal bags and cement bags, fl

Offended Listeners, A. I. News & Naming Babies

Text us here! Hershall, we always try to lead with our mistakes here, so when we got the news that a listener was offended, we took drastic measures and I think we patched things up in a grand fashion. Then, we talked about many random things this week including: shrugged shoulders, frog names, quail losses, clothing patterns, turning thanks, and on and on could go... (actually we did go) Dink Burbank delivered a very timely, interesting deep dive to our news segment. I think you'll be intr

Three-peating, Foot Breath & Forgiveness

Text us here! Hersh, I'm glad that you're here today. There was a special piece of correspondence that came to us this week and we decided to include it as a wonderful portion on our program. I know you are aware about it so be excited when you listen... It has to do with your eldest offspring (big word for child). We also had a chorus of opinions mentioned on this episode  and our very own Songleader said he loves a good Three-peat (new word where three people repeat the same issue).

Is Brad a Reverend Now?

Hershall, I think we have a few surprises in store on today's episode. One was a very special Birthday wish and song to The Emma Fluencer. We also discuss the possibility of starting a Pod'N Me Boutique (big word for over priced clothing). We received some very touching trinkets (another big word for over priced items) from our very own Songleader. He took a recent trip over seas and was gracious enough to bring the Deacon Dustin and me some very costly souvenirs (big word for overpric

The Resurrected Life with Rev. Jon Isaacs

Text us here!  Hershall, It has been a wonderful privilege again today to visit with Pastor Jon Isaacs. As we promised yesterday we talked about a very important aspect of Christianity. It's one that is anchored on the fact that Christ arose from the grave and that is the subject of a resurrected life. When we are born into the family of God by faith in Christ, we receive a new life to live here but that's not all... One of these days, our sinful, corruptible bodies will be changed. Br

The Faith of Mary Magdalene with Rev. Jon Isaacs

Text us here! Hershall, in light of the Resurrection of Our Lord, we set aside a couple of days here on Pod'N Me to reflect on the power of what happened in the life of one particular woman recorded in the Word of God all those many years ago. Pastor Jon Isaacs, who is a repeat guest, is here for two days to recount this woman's journey of faith in Christ. We had a wonderful conversation of how she was converted and kept by the power of the Resurrection of Jesus. Join us again tomorrow

Hershall and The Dum-Dum Gang

Hershall, I have no need to inform you of the things that went on this week because you were here and for that, we (as in all the world) are grateful. We covered many topics today and on the off chance that someone wants to read this before listening, here are the topics: Church splits, Hershall's praise, homeschool graduations, and  some hard-hitting animal trivia. One of the best moments was when Loretta decided to interrupt the program by bringing in Crumbl (not a sponsor) cookies. We ta

Cat Traps and A Farewell Email

Hershall, I made an executive (big word for Devin) decision to exclude your name from the title of this episode since you kinda snuck in to Studio 4 today. That doesn't at all mean that we weren't grateful for your sacrifice in showing up. We had an eventful day today... Maybe even HISTORIC (big word for famous or potentially so) in a way. We heard from an infamous feed-backer today that so graciously made the decision to inform us that his email would likely (big word for we would lik

Og Travels & We Raise Money

Hershall, I trust that all is well with thee and thine (KJV sounding phrase). We have some great things in store for you today per usual. We started the show today and I was immediately confronted by our Deacon for a recent blunder that he says I made in the pulpit. He brought me under sharp criticism for changing my stance on a particular passionate topic and you know how we try our best to remain unchanged seeking neither fear nor favor. So I conceded to the Deacon and we moved forward. We had

Community Chop Sticks & Church Responsibility

Send us a Text Message.Hershall, I am so glad you are here, as always. We have another day of topics to bring. We discussed the recent trip that our beloved (big word meaning a much loved person) Songleader made across the big water. He tells of the many challenges he faced while traveling abroad. Included were: Praying over food, Shoeless dining and a community chop stick... Also, we had some feedback which included a startling revelation that almost had the boys preferring the use of tobacco p

Spy Balloons, Sing Alongs & Shout-Outs

Text us here! Hershall, I really don't even know how to describe what went on today.... First Dink was on location shooting down a 🕵️‍♀️ SPY balloon... yes you read it here first (unless you listened to it first), our news anchor was out in an undisclosed location when he encountered a balloon of some sort-well, you’ll hear. We then had a wonderful time in Studio 4 where we (Deacon Dustin, Songleader Brad, and Your Humble Virtual Pastor) had so much stuff to talk about that I can't ev

Deconstruction Is NOT the Answer

Hershall, I'm glad you're here today because we had a very needed conversation. We did have some light hearted banter in the beginning, per usual. I delivered some flawless jokes, Bro. Brad told tale of quail eggs, and Dink Burbank interviewed a "hero of the week" for the first time on Pod'N Me. Then we had a somewhat lengthy, but very important conversation about a subject that is becoming increasingly popular of late. That is a term called "Deconstruction" an

Hershall, we hated it so bad that you and Loretta weren't able to make it to Studio 4 to host our 2nd Annual Valentine's Day episode for the second year....(yes I know that's what annual means) We did have a most beautiful guest by the name of Hannah R. Birdsong.... (My Endless Love) She answered some V-Day (short word for Valentine's Day) trivia.

New Livestock and Other Pets

Hershall, I am so privileged to be back with the boys this week. It was wonderful to be able to sit in studio 4 and bask in the presence of the Songleader and Deacon. They did a wonderful job in my absence last week. We started by once again bringing all of the new listeners up to speed on what goes on here at Pod'N Me. We also had a live audience which consisted of Bryce and Addyson Birdsong (my twain youngest offspring). We even had Bryce do the intro to the feedback segment live.  We checked

The Brad and Dustin Hour

I also want to thank my co-hosts for stepping up to the challenge today of recording in my absence. They did a superb (big word meaning good) job handling the podcast today. We learned several things today including: the Deacon's new dog could be a drug dog, Alabama (the Deacon's favorite Christmas group) is referenced in the scriptures, S

Busted for Dealing Hope

Hershall, here we are in the second week of the year trying to hand out some hope... that was in the latter portion of the episode. Before that happened, we had the normal stuff such as Feedback with Songleader Brad and some ever relevant commentary from Deacon Dustin. Typing of Dustin, the production room added a new segment this week concerning the Deacon's new K-9. (The typist -big word for typer- is having a difficult time keeping from inserting a wonderful joke about K-9s here) Also we

A Dog in Dustin’s Dwelling?

Hershall, Happy New Year! We are so glad to be back in this wonderful year and as every New Year Brings joys and challenges, we look forward to it all the same. The joy sure came to mine and the Songleader's heart as you'll hear today. We had a programming note about our Interview series for 2023 and then moved to some great feedback. We have a new challenge to write a kind of governing document for Pod'N Me and during that portion, the deacon decided to use a word  without any of

Text us here! Hershall, Thanks for staying with us for the duration of the year! We really are grateful for you and all of your friends that listen to Pod'N Me. Today's show is a contribution in large part by our listeners. A few weeks ago, we put out a question on Instagram asking for their Favorite Moments on Pod'N Me this year. We asked for help from our very own Dink Burbank (big words for Rev. Josh Smith) and he did a stellar (impressive sounding word) job as he seamlessly wo

You also know how bad things got off the rails but I say (or type) this for the sake of all who are out there in the Podience...

The Grief Recovery Journey with Pastor Doug Hash

Text us here! Hershall, today I had a very needful conversation with a pastor friend of mine, Rev. Doug Hash. He is a grief counselor and he shares with us some very practical things that help us in dealing with grief. There are over 40 different kinds of losses that a person can experience that can cause grief. Rev. Hash gives us an overview of the points that he uses in The Grief Recovery Program to assist people that are working through the grieving process. This may not be a conversation tha

Dual Wardrobe Malfunctions

Text us here! Hershall, on this final day of November, I approach this episode with shamefacedness (KJV big word meaning ashamed). As our title suggests, there were wardrobe malfunctions mentioned on today's episode. It was included in the feedback portion and as you will find, it was NEWS to us then and only then.... We also talked about how the Songleader and your Humble Poderator made unusual allowances in our homes. Among other topics discussed were: coyote consumption and horse brisket

Hersh, we are so glad you are tuning in to Pod'N Me still... You being a long time listener of the show, will not be disconcerted (big word for perturbed) at what goes on today. We started by having our very own Rev. Josh Smith to tell about a painful (big word for harrowing) tale (*or tail) of a recent hunting excursion in the state of Georgia. Deacon Dustin recounted a story of a piece of our past where we explored the idea of what R.I.P. looks like for each of us. We also had some very good c

Anyhow it's always a pleasure to hear from you. We also had some wonderful conversation on the rest of the episode with the Deacon and Songleade.

It is a glimpse (big word for look) of what it's like to put together the Basement Bargains with Elder Ronnie (yours truly) and Sis. Connie (Josh Smith).  Rev.

New Equipment & Scary Voices with Dink Burbank (Rev. Josh Smith)

Text us here! Hershall, this is the longest episode yet of Pod'N Me but, I think you will completely understand why... given the fact that we upgraded the sound equipment in Studio 4. I do think that a parental warning is advised on one particular portion of the program when, as the title so amply (big word for plentifully) describes, a childhood story is told by our very own Dink Burbank, there is a SCARY voice that is used. It is at the 24 minute mark... you've been warned. I just ca

As usual, we managed to cover several topics on throughout the feedback portion of the episode. After Dink Burbank brought us the news, we settled in on a topic that we haven't covered on Pod'N Me.

We did manage to have some very hard topics brought up in the course of conversation. Among those were: the pronunciation of tortillas, a bit of Spanish from the Deacon, a harrowing (a big word with meaning unknown to the editor) tale of a poor vacuum cleaner sales person. We also talked some very current events and le

As you very well know, this program has been built on the reliability and consistency of the perfect attendance of me, the virtual pastor. I am freely admitting my fallibility (big word meaning tendency to make a mistake). I was not able to attend the service here today and we have on our hands a situation where the inmates are running the prison so to speak. Our virtual Songleader Brad and our beloved vir

So, we recorded the intro and the final part in studio 4 with our virtual Songleader and Virtual Deacon being present... well, you'll see. There have been a few times over the history of this podcast that I could feel the presence of the Lord

Brad had to be rehabilitated (big word meaning restored to a former state) because of his song choices... it was just a vacation that caused his absence. We had a great visit with you, Hersh. It had been a while since we had heard from you. Also, our Songleader came in strong at the end of one of my most requested

I'll let the episode speak for itself but we had an absence that couldn't be filled but it's not a permanent (big word meaning fixed in stone) thing.

This time one of those was your very own daughter Bryanna and her close friend Alivya Isaacs. Alivya's father was a guest on this podcast back in January on episode 86. Both ladies offers their idea of what the perfect evangelist would be and all along the way they gave some harrowing tales of their many experiences as PK's. We also found out that Alivya

Heshall, today it happened... one our feed-backers finally gave this show the description that says it best... hence (big word meaning consequently) the title: "Dearest Men of This Thing." I think that pretty much sums up Pod'N Me. Along the way we manage to have some other important things to talk about such as: hymnals and hernals, lint brushes and curry combs, amongst (bigger word than the root word among) other riveting topics.

We still were somehow able to fulfill our great obligation to the friends and/or foes of Pod'N Me.

We talked about how much he would like to be a star... I mean part of the show and also managed to discuss some youth camp stuff. We heard from the news desk of anchor Dink Burbank.

It got a tad interminable (big word for lengthy) but I feel that you won't be disappointed. That is, unless you are like an apple review that we reacted to here today. Someone left a hateful review and we hit it head on! To start off, we called a leading evangelist, Rev. Joshua Smith to discuss a recent event that took place in his life a

Campmeeting in Unity with Rev. Don Ingram

Text us here! Hershall, what a privilege it was to have you and your dad, Rev. Don Ingram on the final day of campmeeting. It has been a great year already and this is the icing on the cake. Rev. Ingram was on edge because he was afraid of what we might pull in Studio 4 but we were nice (mostly). As the interviewed, I had done some extensive research on my guest and used some info he wasn't expecting. Bro. Ingram told us of missionary trips he has taken and the close friendship with a theol

Campmeeting Tape Ministry with Rev. Nathan Wood

Hershall, the second day of Pod'N Campmeeting will not disappoint. We had a good friend (and cousin of mine) on the podcast today. His name is Rev. Nathan Wood. He tells us about a big part of what his dad's ministry was and did an outstanding job honoring the memory of one of the greatest men of our time, Rev. Larry Wood. Just over a year ago the Bro. Larry passed away and today we discussed what God did through him to help the family of God. Bro. Nathan also tells some humorous happe

Pod'N Campmeeting Youth Service with Rev. Chad Everett

Text us here! Hersh, It's that time of year again and I think we saw your 5th Wheel when you came pulling on the campground. This is our 3rd annual Pod’N Me Campmeeting that got cancelled the very first year and now we're gathered again for good ole fashion camp. We have a young evangelist, Rev. Chad Everett, here for youth service and I must (a mandatory sounding word) say, he did great. We started with the Deacon and Songleader talking about all of the nice virtual RVs and almost got

We Did Druther

Text us here! Hershall, first, my in-depth apologies for the Songleader totally discounting the fact that you are counted among the staff here at the Church of Pod'N Me... a feedbacker gave homage (big word meaning special honor) to the fact that you are a 1/4 of a point of this church cast and you were overlooked by Bro. Brad, but that's at the end of the episode so you can bask (big word meaning make the most of) in the enjoyment until then.  The Deacon outdid himself in bringing an

Favorite Hymns & Name That Artist

Text us here! Hershall, we had another less than high expectationed episode today, but we did have some very special moments on the church cast here. None of the least of which was, thanks to you we played a song from a link that you sent me several weeks ago. it was a song from The McCoy Family on YouTube. one of their members who has sent some feedback (Sis. Babbling Brooke) so graciously agreed to let us use their content today and that led us into talking about some of our favorite hymn lyri

Interventions & Seeing From God's Perspective

Hershall, first off, it was great to have you in studio 4 today. We had a regular ole' large time, but I'll have to say, I was challenged (big word meaning hard pressed) to find a title for what this episode was all about. We had many things going on in the studio, as well as, many things outside the studio causing distractions... namely: weather alerts every few minutes on our phones telling us to take immediate cover due to the impending danger in the sky. We did take several breaks (which I e

My Dearest Mother, Cynthia Grace Birdsong

Hershall, today we had an interview with the (in my humble opinion) greatest mother of them all, Sis. Cynthia Grace Birdsong (aka Cyndi Birdsong). We (Deacon Dustin, Songleader Brad and your Humble Virtual Pastor) first paid homage (big word meaning special honor) to all of our mothers by bragging on the worst/best dishes they prepared for us in our respective childhoods. During that portion of the program, I gave the audience a glimpse of where my humility began. (Hint: it has to do with a hous

The Deacon Playing Lyrics Against the Rurals

Hershall, we are glad to bring you another episode of this virtual train wreck. We had quite a day here at Pod'N Me. We talked about many various things as always. Those things included but were not limited to Taylor Guitars (not a sponsor), the anatomy of a boot, double tongued deacons.... I can't quite describe the episode, so give it a listen. We ended today with the ever popular segment, Name that Lyric, formally Name that Tune. The Deacon Dustin ran the lyric recitation (big word

King is the host of the Pod King Bible Study podcast and I he's been a guest on Pod'N Me in the past. Today we covered the first seven of fourteen things that may not be talked about very much concerning the price that was paid for our redemption. I hope that every Christian will take this time to reflect with us a

We started off by helping Trey sing using our mouths as a fife (big word that you need to look up for yourself, I do enough work here) as it were. From there, things went totally of the proverbial rails. I told a touching "story" about a friend named Ignatious and his wife Agnus. Deacon Dustin summed up my story as a "fro

Completely Set Apart with Rev. Dwain Galiher

Hershall, today I set down with a mutual friend of ours, Rev. Dwain Galiher. His ministry has been a strong influence in my life over the years. We talked about his start in the ministry. He has been many years now pastoring in southern Missouri. We finished our visit with a great Bible doctrine that deals with God’s great desire for all of us as His children to be completely separated unto God. I certainly enjoyed getting to sit down with Pastor Galiher today. We always love to hear from our li

Is This Mic On?? (tap tap tap)

Hershall, how are you?      No answer?    Turn your microphone on...  Well, I guess until Hersh and the sound guys get his mic back on we'll talk about what happened on this episode. We had the normal, run of the mill, program today (string of words that take up space and don't accurately describe Pod'N Me). Hershall knows we don't have normal ANYTHING around here. There was some good feedback and we had a time talking about Christian colloquialisms  (biggest word on this des

Pod'N Me Turns 100 with Hershall & Trey Brock

Hershall, we did it!! This underwhelming podcast made it to episode 100!!! (cheers, applause(s), jumping, leaping, running... etc.) This is the longest episode ever! (Instagram lingo alert) (also true for this podcast)  We had a wonderful time we had today reminiscing (big word meaning to indulge in enjoyable recollections of past events) the episodes of yester-months.

We started by giving a HUGE shout-out to some friends we've met through the podcast industry. we even played an excerpt from some of their feedback on one of their episodes. As far as podcasters go, these Two guys are like Peas on a Pod, if you will. (and I know you will) We also had the normal feedback on the program today. After a torrent

Pod'N Missionary Meetin'

Hershall, we as an organization felt it needful (regular word meaning necessary) to make amends for the great offense made in December to our friends going to foreign fields to fulfill the Great Commission (see Matthew 28). So, we had a real live missionary on air. I don't want to ruin is reputation here by giving the name on his passport but suffice (big word meaning let it be sufficient) it to say, he may have been the first to bring Snow to the country of Panama. After settling that pressing

Church Bus Ministry with Pastor David Brimm

Now, I know that on a few occasions we have called this podcast a church bus but in reality, it never has been. Pastor Brimm is a friend of mine that I have talked to from time to time (I even referred to him as a best friend on past episodes) and I have profound respect for his passion in the ministry. We have talked about many different aspects of the ministry on here and today we got to hear

His name is Jason and he even tells a fun fact about a guy named Harry Truman (not the president). In the end, I think we all need to be truth seekers! Send us s

Among these, are things like how we pronounce a certain popular candy, multi-colored grandmothers, we even hear you, Hershall, bark! All things that are necessary for the furtherance of the trash-cast. We also had some more feedback on the (endless) feedback on Suits with Buits (new big word invented just now by me

I really contemplated (big word meaning thought over) a walk off of the show today. I have resigned to the fact that the Songleader and Deacon have conspired against me to completely destroy this podcast! The Deacon now advocates for preachers to wear a certain (see title) head dress. The Songleader was asked to do

Hershall, I give my complete apologies up front. As ofttimes (kjv sounding word) happens on this Podcast, we had a service that I could not, or shall I type  DID NOT,  close soon enough. We did have some monumental things take place before our Deacon's Boots walked off of the righteous path and returned to the beggarly (another kjv sounding word) elements of his past. We made history with our first official sponsor on Pod'N Me. Hopefully the product will be of use to our men that care

Virtue-us Podisode on the Epicast

Hershall, we had a great day on the church bus... It was renamed as an Epic-cast by one of our listeners. I think that is carrying things way too far. We started by settling a HUGE offense that happened over the Thanksgiving and Christmas season to one of the if not THE leading youth pastor of our movement... none other that Rev. Matthew Wilson. He was guest on the show when Deacon Dustin was on vacation (big word for R &R) back in the fall of '21 and when we were passing out accolades (another

Anyhowever, we did have the church bus rolling down the path of time and you won't be disappointed with where all we stopped today. We made history during the feedback segment.

Strong Families & The Personal Testimony of Rev. Jon Isaacs

I got to hear from a friend and fellow pastor.  Rev. Jon Isaacs is here and he shared his personal testimony that should give every youth pastor hope. He then talked about a very important part of his own church ministry and that is where he sets special time out of every year to concentrate on the needs of the family. We had a

My speech was not with enticing words, because I was having trouble speaking and the Deacon & Songleader called me out!

We know how that worked out for the first humans yet we think we can somehow escape their fate.  The goal is to know and try to understand God. (Jeremiah

Text us here! Hershall, we here we are at episode 61 or 62 since we had a once a month episode last week, but who’s counting…. We had a selfie taken on air which is a first here on the show. The deacon used the Bible as a weapon against the (h)umble podereator. I survived all the criticism and stay in the service til the end.  Toward the end we talked about the importance of a daily encounter with the Lord God. It got rather challenging.

Pod'N Me Bored Meeting with Dustin Wakley & Brad Cottrell

Hersh, as you well know, we sometimes change things up on Pod'N Me.We did just that today and made the executive (upper level sounding word) decision to have a discussion with the two regulars on the  show about where they came from and where we are today.  This is our once a month episode and failed to secure an interview with a guest so I talked to Dustin & Brad about their own personal experiences. we even took time to brag on you, Hershall.

Brad (the Songleader) proverbially (big word alert) took my chair at the beginning of the show. He went totally serious. Dustin (the Deacon) was on top of his game too with some live Bible reading.

Is Gluttony In the Bible? with Brad Cottrell & Dustin Wakley

Send us a Text Message.Hersh, the song leader and deacon are back for another conversation. We talk about something near and dear to our hearts... not music this time. It's another favorite subject and that is food. I really thought things were going pretty normal til we found out Wile E. Coyote was in danger at Brad's house. Yes, Hersh, he put some of the Coyote's kindred on the table as food. The subject of gluttony came up and we all three sobered up! Give it a listen and draw

Songs That Bring Tears with Dustin Wakley & Brad Cottrell

Text us here! Hersh, the boys are back. I hope they aren't trying to form a coup (big word alert). If they are, I didn't allow it this time I used the power of music to dig into their minds. I even did a test on Dustin to see if I could make him weep by playing a song that recently did just that. Hersh you know I'm an avid lover of good music. These boys are too and we had a good time talking about it. Enjoy!Support the showConnect with us at https://www.podnme.org/https://youtube

PK's Get Some Attention Rev. Douglas Meadow

Send a Text? Ok! Hersh, I'm here with a friend of mine who is a bit on the touchy side about his name. Let's just say, don't shorten his first name and don't add to his last. It is Doug-las Meadow as in singular as in ONE grass covered field- MEADOW. Whew, I thought we'd never get that through your head. Anyhow, Rev. Meadow is a big fan of preacher's kids (helpful hint: he is one and he has 3 of his own). Speaking of his kids, they have an album with wonderful music

He's Back by Popular Demand

Text us here! This is another totally off the cuff episode with my listener Hershall (Jud Ingram). He's a great friend that really DID have Covid 19 and a tough case. He has just recovered thankfully. In no way are we trying to make light of the virus that has taken the lives of so many loved ones and friends. We are thankful for all who have recovered and know that this is something that we are all trying to work through. All that being said, I wanted to release this episode to let everyon

The Unwashed Mask-es featuring Dustin Wakley & Brad Cottrell

First off, Hershall, this is a long episode, but cut me a little slack, its has been a month since you've even heard from me. Today I sat down with a couple of parishioners... A deacon and song leader. Hersh, the deacon happens to be one of my best friends. I mean the guy knows some stuff about me. We got together to have what we all thought was going to be a light hearted conversation and it ended up being down right serious at times. We did cover some important stuff though like my use of

Is Ollie Outinfree Real? Guest: Rev. Joshua H. Vaughn

To be honest, Hershall, I can’t remember NOT knowing my guest today. He’s been a close friend for years. We talk about Ollie Outinfree and a myriad of other things that come to our minds. I also pay tribute to the memory of a good friend. Hersh, while you’re going about your day (feeding animals and such) take some time to make a good memory here and there. God bless & I hope you enjoy! Support the showConnect with us at https://www.podnme.org/https://youtube.com/@devinbirdsongEmail devin@po

A Glimpse into Songwriting with Rev. Rick Simpson

Text us here! Hershall, have you ever thought about writing a song? It takes a bit more than I thought at first. Should you ever decide to try writing one, someone like Bro. Rick Simpson would be a good person to consult with first. He has some experience in writing... he writes on songs almost every day of the week!  He also has had success at people recording his songs and many people enjoying the songs to the place where they contacted him and told him how his songs changed their lives!
