Side by Side: South Arkansas Tales & Straight Up Bible Teaching

Bigfoot, the Bible, and the CCP

We're back after a few weeks off — one of us got married! We kick things off with the Fouke Monster (South Arkansas's own Bigfoot legend), debate whether Sasquatch is real, and then get serious: China's Communist Party is literally rewriting the Bible. We break down what they changed and why it matters.

Tuned in Harmony: Finding Unity in the Church

What does a banjo have to do with the church? More than you'd think. In this message from Immanuel Baptist Church, Pastor Clark dives into Psalm 133 — David's timeless song about the beauty of unity among believers. Through humor, heartfelt stories, and a live banjo demonstration, he unpacks what it truly means to dwell together in harmony: it's not an accident, it takes attention, it takes love, and it takes every unique "string" playing its part. Whether you're a longtime churchgoer or just exploring faith, this message is a reminder that we're better together — and that God is the one producing the harmony. Topics covered: Unity in the church · Psalm 133 & 134 · Colossians 3 · The power of synergy · Salvation & community
