Your Kid’s Birthday Party Will Disappoint Them: Quest for the Best
🎙️ Sponsored by TeachEquip — equipping Bible teachers who want to grow in clarity, confidence, and joy. (Also, they’re just awesome.)
🎉 The Quest for the Best (Also: Dracula Teeth, Donuts & Deep Theology)
We sat down to talk about Jimmy’s new children’s book — and within 30 seconds, Dracula teeth were involved. So... classic Clearly.
In this episode, we spiral (gracefully?) from:
🧛♂️ Custom fangs and midlife cosplay
🍩 Donuts with God-shaped holes
🧒🏽 Why writing for kids makes Jimmy a better preacher
✝️ And what the gospel is really offering us (Hint: it’s not just hell insurance)
The Quest for the Best is a hilarious and heartfelt book that teaches kids (and all of us with adult bodies but toddler-level spiritual attention spans) that the best thing God gives us… is God.
You’ll also get:
Why birthday parties are emotionally rigged
The underrated power of forced porch-sitting
The gospel according to giant pastries
And at least one book Easter egg for The Office fans
