This week, the team debriefs a massive ministry weekend featuring guest speakers Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager from the Center for Biblical Unity. From panel discussions to powerful teachings on biblical justice and racial unity, the weekend was full of rich insights and honest questions—and maybe just a little too much leftover bagel.

Dave and Bob recap the key themes, unpack Krista’s four pillars of justice (evidence, truth-telling, impartiality, and accountability), and explore how Isaiah 9 connects justice, righteousness, and messianic hope. You’ll also hear how God might be working in Gen Z through campus revivals, baptisms, and a surprising Barna study that’s flipping generational church attendance stats on their head.

The conversation continues with a spirited Book War showdown (with a possible dynasty in the making), the return of “House of David” and a surprising take on the gospel as told through decapitated giants, and an intriguing theory about whether Golgotha got its name from Goliath of Gath. The pastors also weigh in on recent controversies at Biola and the Andy Stanley conference, answer audience questions about prophetic parallels between Micah and Isaiah, and wrap it all up with a theology sprint on the “age of accountability.” Packed with news, theology, laughter, and more rabbit trails than you can count, this episode is everything you love about Behind the Pulpit—and then some.
