The Bullpen with J.D. Greear
J.D. GreearEvery sermon starts with more than can fit into a message. For years, Pastor J.D. Greear has filled his sermon notes with extra illustrations, questions, insights, and rabbit trails that never made it into the final sermon. He calls that section of his notes “the bullpen.” Now, those ideas are coming out of the bullpen. In each episode, J.D. sits down with a few others to unpack a recent message, ... more

- Either deluded or a charlatan
JD stays silent (or is at least underspoken) on many of these topics in his sermons. That suits his purposes to advocate for Christianity, even if it supports Christian Nationalism. His approach of speaking in a thoughtful and reasonable manner is compelling for many, but frankly it’s a sales approach that has been effective for him. He is good at strengthening your faith, even if there is more evidence against that faith than for it.

United States2 months ago - Easy way to strengthen your faith
Very helpful answers and explanations to some of the biggest questions about the Christian faith. Easy to understand and reshaped the way I think I about somethings. I feel more confident in my faith, who God is and my ability to share these things with others after listening. Definitely worth your time! The interviews with other leaders were super insightful too.

JD provides a balanced approach, supported by deep understanding scripture in today’s context! He hits on many topics that are not regularly discussed in the church.

Appreciate the pastoral perspective on tough questions
Apple Podcasts5CarltonxmooreUnited States3 years ago - Biblical and True!
JD Greear‘s answers to life’s toughest questions are founded in Biblical truth that will bring the aroma of life to those following it and the aroma of death to those against it (2 Corinthians 2:15-16). It’s no surprise that the ones leaving negative reviews are the ones smelling the aroma of death and rejecting what JD has been empowered by the Holy Spirit to say. The answers are meant to be convicting, because they go against our sinful choices, so some people won’t like what he has to say. St... more
