Just two pastors from New Jersey separated by a 25-year age gap and a couple mics.
Donnie and Joe's unique perspectives on current events, the modern church, and world issues, combined with their similar roles as pastors and dads, create the basis of each episode. Generational differences humorously collide as wisdom and experience meets youth and energy.
But this isn't just another commentary on the state of the world; instead it's centered on understanding the core problems in this mad world, tackling the issues with Biblical solutions, and making a better future for the next generation.
