Tim, David, and Donna-Jean introduce a segment called "Out of Our Minds" - what we're watching, reading, and thinking about. In this episode we discuss the movie "Hamnet," and how it intersects Tim and David's lives and Scriptural truth. Donna-Jean brings up some Bible matters - places where Bible reading is deemed forbidden, and how we ourselves interact with our own Bible reading. And David talks about Transhumanism, what it is, what it means, and where it's leading the culture.

In this premiere episode of "Encore!," Tim, David, and Donna-Jean introduce the podcast and set the stage for its purpose. Our conviction, after years of ministry, is that God always has more - more grace, more purpose, more life. We introduce ourselves and give some background on our individual lives. Our topic then is America's Young Men - how they're struggling, who cares about them, and what can be done to challenge them.
