Bad Fruit Podcast

The one where they talk about Friends - 010

This is our 10th episode! And it is a little bit longer than some of our other ones. This episode Judah talks about the friends of James River and how they have influenced John's policies, theology and even appearance. Many of these pastors have had moral failings, and while we keep it relatively tame, I did want to give a mild trigger warning since we do talk about some specific situations.

Bonus Episode: Response to Bill Johnson being at James River church August 21st 2024

I recorded this on my phone after listening to Bill Johnson speak at James River Church August 21st 2024. I wanted to record a quick response. I’m sure we’ll get into all this more in-depth during future episodes.
