    The IDES of March

    The IDES of March

    For the uninitiated, on the Ides of March - or the 15th - one of the most momentous events in the history of the Classical world occurred: the assassination of Julius Caesar.
    This was an event of unfathomable significance. It led to the birth of the Roman Empire, and shaped the world as we know it today.

    45: An Interesting Number For Me

    One of my more open, and vulnerable episodes. Just talking through some moments and numbers that have floated around my mind for the past 30+ years. Hope that this helps someone to know, in a greater way, the words recorded in 1 Peter 5:6-7

Love the podcast

Binge listening to the Two Preachers podcast today, and really enjoy listening to you guys talk about life and ministry in our little community of Grayson. Blessed to have Josh as my pastor and friend, and appreciate the collaboration between he and Ben that extends beyond this great podcast.

THIS IS A REVIEW.

Let me tell ya somethin’, this podcast is the cream of the crop, yeah. Ben James is the cream of the crop. I don’t know Josh but I don’t need to, any friend of Ben’s is a friend of mine. On balance, off balance it doesn’t matter Ben’s podcast is better than yours
