The Bullpen with J.D. GreearBeing Good Isn’t Good Enough + The Death Penalty | Ep. 5Is temptation itself a sin? Why do Christians follow some Old Testament laws but not others? And can you be pro-life while supporting the death penalty?
This week on The Bullpen, J.D., Matt, and Curtis welcome a special guest: J.D.’s wife, Veronica Greear! After Veronica grades J.D.’s sermon (and his fashion choices), the conversation turns to what it means that Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament law—and why Christians still follow some commands but not others.
They also tackle some difficult questions about capital punishment, biblical justice, and the relationship betwee...

Greear sits down with Matt Love and Curtis Andrusko to go deeper into his first sermon in the book of Ecclesiastes and the search for a meaningful, satisfying life.

2026-08-2452 minThe Bullpen with J.D. GreearIntroducing The Bullpen with J.D. GreearFor years now, whenever Pastor J.D. Greear preaches, he writes far more than he can actually say in the sermon. The material that doesn’t make the cut—the extra illustrations, the rabbit trails, the good questions he didn’t have time to chase—gets kept in a section of his notes he calls the “bullpen.”
All of that material, all these years, has just sat there and never seen the light of day.
But that changes next week.
Each time J.D. preaches, he’ll sit down with a couple of people and unp...

The Word of Life PodcastWOL 32 - God Wants To Use You in Missions - A Sermon by JD GreearThis week we hear from Pastor JD Greear of the Summit Church.
