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
