Summary
In this episode, Jamie & Eric kick things off with Shooting the Skybalon, roasting listeners’ Spotify Wrapped results and reacting to a mysterious Sermonot gift. In Shady Theology, they wade into deep waters with annihilationism and conditional immortality—what they are, why people believe them, and why they matter. Then it’s game time with a New Year’s Sermon Mad-Lib, where things go off the rails fast. Finally, in Pester the Pastor, they tackle Preachers & Sneakers—asking how much pastors should spend on clothes, cars, and homes, and where wisdom, optics, and integrity collide. It’s sharp, funny, and theologically spicy—welcome to Not the Sermon. 00:00:18 – Skybalon: Roasting listeners’ Wrapped & a Sermonot gift 00:10:07 – Shady Theology: Annihilation & conditional immortality 00:26:10 – Game: A New Year’s sermon Mad-Lib 00:34:31 – Pester the Pastor: How much should pastors spend on clothes, cars, and homes?
