## Resource

In this episode, Jamie & Eric kick things off with Shooting the Skybalon, where Jamie vents about the mysterious and deeply offensive concept of the “feels like” temperature during cold weather season. In Houston, We Have a Question, they tackle two listener curiosities: what is the best spiritual gift, and where did the ichthus fish symbol actually come from? In Weird Worship, they wrestle with the phrase “praise as a weapon” and whether that language helps or hurts our understanding of worship. Finally, in Shady Theology, they unpack the controversy surrounding Bethel and Shawn Bolz, including the questions around prophetic words and data mining. It’s thoughtful, a little spicy, and perfectly on brand—welcome to Not the Sermon. 00:00:17 – Skybalon: Jamie’s problem with the “feels like” temp 00:09:51 – Houston, We Have a Question: The best spiritual gift & the fish symbol 00:23:13 – Weird Worship: Praise as a weapon 00:33:10 – Shady Theology: Bethel & Shawn Bolz
