{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"The Blue Banter","slug":"joeshmoetheology","podcastDescription":"What is The Blue Banter? The Blue Banter is a podcast dreamed up by two friends and young pastors who have hearts not only for their local congregations but for the broader church and for other young pastors. In an effort to foster greater love and knowledge and to be not simply theological Presbyterians but practical Presbyterians we plan to conduct interviews with each and every current RP Pastor. Questions will range from the theological to the practical, from the serious to the humorous. Ever wonder what other pastors are preaching on? How do pastors prepare their sermons? What do pastors do during the week? What books would they recommend? How would they describe their congregation? What do they think the biggest threat facing the church today is? What kind of music do they listen to? These are the kinds of questions you will hear asked and answered on The Blue Banter from each and every pastor in the RPCNA. We hope you’ll join us in getting to know the pastors and the congregations in the RPCNA.\n\nIf you have a question you’d like us to ask the pastor we have on the podcast, or you would like to suggest we have your pastor on the podcast, you can email us at bluebanterpodcast@gmail.com","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/1783383/My_project-1_1__d4ivah.png","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/1783383/My_project-1_1__d4ivah_1200x628.jpg?s=95da6b74fe126753a68b74c14634316f&e=png","podcastUrl":"https://joeshmoetheology.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/joeshmoetheology/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-8xjsb-1b3657?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":17,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-04:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-4,"text":"(GMT-04:00) Atlantic Time (Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Halifax"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":79,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Aaron Murray","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-8xjsb-1b3657-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-blue-banter/id1676648219","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-8xjsb-1b3657?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/16AERlQ2P1DCbFGDoUeH7v","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ed51c1f8-6496-4ccd-b13c-c17f6b0888af","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#8fc31f"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
