Greear, gives quick answers to some of your toughest theological, ethical, and leadership questions.
This podcast by J.D. Greear (former president of the Southern Baptist Convention) started in 2018, but I have only come to know of it in recent months.
Greear is an author and pastor of The Summit Church in Durham, North Carolina. He served as the 62nd President of the Southern Baptist Convention from 2018 to 2021.
And Greear certainly does mean asking him anything! The topics are so varied. From ‘What is the Best Bible Translation?’ to ‘What’s the Deal with Nicholas Cage!’
The podcasts are short and sweet, each being between ten and 15 minutes long. I listened to the Bible translation episode and Greear is in discussion with a guy called Matt Love. Greear, however, does most of the talking.
Greear is very thorough and comes across as one who seems to be very knowledgeable in his answers. For example, in the podcast I most recently listened to, Greear was not just telling people what his favourite Bible translation was, but unpacking each popular translation and giving pros and cons, only then confirming his preference
This podcast answers more than just your typical churchy questions. There are questions on politics, current events and very deep, hard-to-talk-about questions thrown in there too.
This series is informative, straight-talking, and helpful. Not all the questions will be everyone’s cup of tea, but there are enough episodes and varying questions for all to consider.
