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

United States2 months ago - 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.
Apple Podcasts1mk6sixUnited States4 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.
Apple Podcasts5KaitlynnjjjUnited States2 years ago - Well worth your time!
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.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Bullpen
What is The Bullpen about and what kind of topics does it cover?
Pastor J.D. Greear and a recurring group of ministry colleagues unpack the ideas behind recent sermons, then connect Scripture to questions of faith, church life, ethics, politics, and everyday decisions. Conversations draw on biblical passages and pastoral experience, with room for candid questions, personal stories, humor, and disagreements about how Christians should engage with cultural issues.
The format is an informal roundtable rather than a formal sermon or interview.
