The Twenty Minute Podcast - 20MP

The Chia Head, Flex Seal, and the Cuss Collar are only a few of the random things that people might choose to spend their money on.  Pastor Rich and Tony talk about their experiences with As Seen On TV items and how these things don't always deliver on their infomercial promises.  

At a time when people might wish that things could go back to the way they used to be, Pastor Rich and Tony discuss looking toward the future rather than hoping to return to the past. Rich also tries to share another podcast object lesson.  

15 years ago, a video sharing website was launched that would impact culture more than anyone could have imagined.  Pastor Rich and Tony discuss technological advances over the years along with the benefits and challenges that accompany being able to share content with one another so quickly.  Tony also tries to use a slide rule unsuccessfully. 

We've probably all made choices in the past that we would like to go back and change now. Today, Pastor Rich shares a funny story with Tony and the guys discuss an actor's past movie choice and how he feels about it now.  Take a seat in the third chair and join us for the next 20 minutes!

What did worship look like for you this year?  Pastor Rich and Tony reflect on Easter weekend and discuss the various ways that Churches across the country approached the biggest weekend in the church year.  

When did you first view yourself as a grown up?  In this episode, Pastor Rich and Tony spend some time talking about the hard questions that youth are facing at younger ages as well as the role that the Church (the people, not the building!) has in youth ministry. 

Studies show that over the past few weeks, data use through streaming services like Netflix and Hulu has increased greatly.  Pastor Rich and Tony discuss different forms of entertainment, including: binge watching Netflix, birds flying into windows, and GRIT. 

Tony puts Pastor Rich on the hot-seat and asks him to share about how God led him into pastoral ministry.  Take a seat and join us for about twenty minutes of storytelling that starts in Eldora, Iowa in the 1950's and ends up in Cedar Rapids today!

How often do you hear (or say) the phrase, "I'm Bored!"?  Today, Pastor Rich and Tony find that there's much more to boredom than sitting in front of a television eating handfuls of M&Ms.  Pull up a chair and join us for the next twenty minutes of discussing life, faith, and everything in between.  

In this episode, Pastor Rich tries to get to the bottom of the question, "Who is Tony Dixon?"  Now's your chance to learn more about Tony as he shares about growing up, not going to school, and how God called him into full-time ministry.
