Advertise on podcast: NOT the Sermon

In this episode, Jamie & Eric hit a milestone. In Shooting the Skybalon, Jamie gets an unexpected gift of a cucumber...during worship, Eric’s neighbor puts him to work, and the guys celebrate 100,000 downloads. In Shady Theology, they take on spiritual warfare: what Scripture actually says, where people take it too far, and why not everything is a demon. Then, in So Help Meme God, they roast podcast pastors who say painfully obvious things like they just cracked the code of the universe. Finally, in Pester the Pastor, they ask how important excellence really is in a church service, and whether chasing polish can crowd out what matters most. It’s grateful, it’s grounded, it’s Not the Sermon.

In this episode, Jamie & Eric drop the mic... and then pick it back up because it was rented. In Shooting the Skybalon, they workshop what their Christian rapper names would be. In Shady Theology, they ask a big one: is the Charismatic Movement over? Then, in So Help Meme God, they react to the beautifully awkward art of talking to pastors after the service. Finally, in Christian Conspiracies, they revisit the Satanic Panic, kids edition, and the toys, cartoons, and cereal boxes that were apparently out to get us all. It’s anointed, it’s on beat, it’s Not the Sermon.

In this episode, Jamie & Eric are seeing double. In Shooting the Skybalon, they talk about clones and debate whether "your dog is waiting for you in heaven" counts as an evangelism strategy. In Your Greek is Showing, they unpack how the word for "witness" is the same word that gives us "martyr," and what that means for anyone who says they follow Jesus. Then, in Odd News, it's Christian metal band Demon Hunter vs. Netflix's KPop Demon Hunters. Finally, in The Bible Says What?!, Paul goes full apostolic smackdown and strikes Elymas the sorcerer blind. It's cloned, it's chaotic, it's Not the Sermon.

In this episode, Jamie & Eric check in on their health, with mixed results. In Shooting the Skybalon, Eric gives the report from his doctor visit while Jamie walks us through his slow physical demise. In Weird Worship, they ask whether every way of collecting the offering is actually a good one. Then, in Mega Church Minute, they look at how mega churches are bouncing back from the Covid decline. Finally, in Shady Theology, they put pastoral boundaries on trial: are they healthy and biblical or are they unrealistic? It's healthy-ish, it's honest, it's Not the Sermon

In Houston, We Have a Question, the Sermonots want to know what to make of Deion Sanders speaking in tongues at a press conference. Then, in The Bible Says What?!, Moses grabs a bowl of blood and flings it on the people of Israel...yes, really. Finally, in Pester the Pastor, they ask whether Christian actors should take on sinful roles. It's ice cold, it's holy, it's Not the Sermon.

In Shooting the Skybalon, Eric recaps taking his daughter to a football game while Jamie brags on the praise team's worship conference road trip.

Then, in Odd News, they talk through the mushrooms that apparently make you see tiny people. Finally, in Shady Theology, they wrestle with Jesus telling us to hate our family—what that actually means and why it's not the family-feud starter it sounds like. It's surveilled, it's psychedelic, it's Not the Sermon.

In this episode, Eric nearly cause a Sermonot casualty, and no one can agree on Jamie's real age. In Shooting the Skybalon, Eric recounts his near-miss with a listener. In Shady Theology, they dig into the "Death of a Pastor's Wife" documentary. In The Bible Says Whaaat?!, they cover the time a prophet slapped another prophet. And in Pester the Pastor, they get real about mid-life crises. It's reckless, it's ageless, it's Not the Sermon.

In this episode, Jamie and Eric and Jamie talk gadgets and LARPers! In Houston, We Have a Questions, they answer a listener question about whether or not people worship country flags and why "allegiance" might be a strong word. In So Help Meme God, they react to an epic hot mic moment (involving a hot dog suit?). Finally, In Weird Worship, they give their take on male modesty when they discuss the recent gym photos of Cory Asbury and Forest Frank. It's another action packed episode of NOT the Sermon!

Then, in How Great is Our Pod, they debut their spoof "This is a Manly Faith," a parody of "This is Amazing Grace." Finally, in Shady Theology, they wrestle with forced evangelism and where the line is between boldness and bulldozing people.

In this episode, Jamie & Eric are riding the high of internet fame. In Shooting the Skybalon, they break down their viral Instagram video that somehow racked up 6.9 million views. Then in Mega Church Minute, they talk about the trend of celebrities becoming Christians and immediately launching a preaching career. Finally, in Pester the Pastor, they wrestle with doctrinal unity versus uniformity—and whether Christians actually need to agree on everything. It's viral, it's convicting, it's Not the Sermon

In this episode, Jamie & Eric are talking lawn mowers and last rites. In Shooting the Skybalon, Eric tells the story of surviving an outdoor funeral in brutal August heat. In Shady Theology, they get into the wild story of a young man told by a prophet to literally eat a page out of the Bible. Then in a brand new game called Fish or Fake?, Eric has to guess if a bunch of weird names are actual fish or just made up nonsense. Finally, in Bible Says Whaaaat, they dig into whether Jesus lied about skipping the Festival of Booths, plus the strange world of Old Testament thigh oaths. It's sweaty, it's silly, it's Not the Sermon.

In this episode, Jamie & Eric kick things off with a backhanded compliment and Eric's questionable trip to the zoo. In Houston, We Have a Question, Sermonots ask about Jesus' ideal walk-in music, the effects of the fall, and, uh, animal romance. In So Help Meme God, they tackle the age-old question: does God have a sense of humor? Finally, in Pester the Pastor, they debate just how important church buildings really are to worship. It's silly, it's sincere, it's Not the Sermon.
