Episodes
-
Can You Spot the Difference?
Helen Keller, Ronnie Milsap, Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles can all see it. How about you? Don’t be fooled by those pushing a Hebrew perspective of the Old Testament without pointing you to Jesus.
-
A Conversation with Pr. Ginn
Prs. Kerns and Ginn go all over the place, but it’s worth the listen. Remember to check out Wittenberg Digital for your website development and hosting needs.
-
Baptism 101
Pr. Olson of Trinity Lutheran (Tryon, NC) joins Pr. Kerns to discuss Holy Baptism. It’s a Red Pill/Blue Pill episode. You have two beliefs: A.) Baptism is symbolic or, B.) Baptism actually does what the Bible says it does (Acts 2:38).
-
Easter Sermon Round Up
We know, we know…Easter 2022 has come and gone. We’re just now getting around to posting this episode with Prs. Boyle, Lovett and Kerns. (Think: Bigger Fish on the other line.) Take a listen to the steaming piles of bovine waste that were being served at THREE American Evangelical churches this...
-
I Surrender All…I Mean…Some
Pr. Kerns heard a sermon calling for us to surrender our all to Jesus. As much as he wants to, he doesn’t. No one does. He met with Pr. Boyle to discuss this terrible, condemning sermon. Ask yourself–do you give God your all?
-
Tuning Our Ears to Hear God Speak
Sermons like these are ubiquitous. They suggest YOU are the reason you can’t hear God. What an impotent God! He has to wait on you to position yourself just right, before He can speak. Sermons like this are damning, especially when God speaks to you in His Word (2 Timothy 3:16). Stick to God’s...
-
How Can Such a Symbolic Meal Do Sooo Much?
It seems that the Body and Blood of Christ do more than Christ promised. Who knew? Listen to Prs. Kerns and Ockree as they found out.
-
Prs. Boyle and Lovett on Holy Baptism
Here in our 75th episode, The Plucked Chicken hosts the dynamic duo of Pastors Boyle and Lovett in Wichita KS, who are forced to endure two American Evangelical sermons on Holy Baptism. As Pr. Boyle is prone to say, “It’s a mess.”
-
Emphasis: Dream Team
Are you on a Dream Team? If you’re not, you could be missing out on transformation…or at least that’s what we’re told. Listen to Prs. Ockree and Kerns wonder why they have missed this “essential” doctrine for the Christian.
-
Mail Bag
In this episode, Prs. Bruss, Kerns and Micheel get to open the mail bag to answer listeners’ questions. If this episode spurs questions from you, they say–“Bring it on!” Enjoy.
-
Wait…what? 3 baptisms?
Let’s see…there’s the 3 little pigs, 3 blind mice and 3 legged races. There’s even Three’s Company with John Ritter and Mr. and Mrs. Roper. But 3 baptisms? What you talkin’ ’bout Willis? Maybe just maybe there’s only one baptism just like the Nicene Creed teaches and confesses. Give a listen to…

Don’t Wanna Thrive!
At Thrive Church in Colorado they THRIVE! They do so by preaching God’s Word out of context–over and over and over again. But who cares? People love having their ears tickled (2 Timothy 4:3). If this is what it means to THRIVE, Pr. Bruss and Pr. Kerns want none of it. They hope you don’t either.
-
Examples in Missin’ ‘da Point
If you think pastors only work a couple of hours on Sunday, and more content should be put on the Plucked Chicken–Prs. Kerns, Bruss and Ockree couldn’t agree with you more! However, dropping podcasts is not their call, though it is their joy, when they can do so. In this episode, you get two...

Discovering the Mysteries
Prs. Bruss and Kerns have eagerly awaited Pr. Farley (affectionately known as, The Twisted Preacher) arriving at 1 Corinthians 10 and 11. Though Farley’s church is called Church w/o Religion, a more apt name would be, Church w/o Truth. Listen for yourself, especially with an open Bible. See who...

“Pick Your Poison!”
Pr. Bruss gets the unique privilege of picking one sermon to critique from four bad sermons.

Pastors’ Roundtable on John
John 4:1-45 |Pastors Bruss, Ockree and Kerns discuss the conversation and conversion of the woman at the well, a.k.a., St. Photini. This was her name given to us by the Church Fathers. It means “the luminous one” from φῶς, “light.”
-
Pastors’ Roundtable on John
Pastors Bruss, Ockree and Kerns tackle the last portion of John 3.
-
Imago Dei
You hear it frequently–“Everyone is made in the image of God, and becasue of that, blah, blah, blah.” Is it true that everyone is made in God’s image, or was only Adam? What part does salvation play in restoring this image? Pr. Kerns and Pr. Ockree discuss it.
-
Pastors’ Roundtable on John
In today’s episode Nicodemus finds out he doesn’t have to crawl back into his mother’s womb in order to be born from above. This, we’re certain, was a great relief to Nicodemus’ mother. Join the same Pastors sitting around the same round table discussing the first half of John 3.

-
Pickin’ Low Hangin’ Fruit w/ the Vicar
We know, we know. You thought the COVID19 fiasco cooked the Plucked Chicken for good. But we are like toe nail fungus, in that you can’t get rid of us that easily. On this episode Pr. Kerns is joined by an unnamed Vicar, who both pick some low hanging fruit concerning…of all things…Holy Baptism.
-
Using God’s Word as Mantra
Prs. Ockree and Kerns think this sermon sounds more like witchcraft than a Christian sermon. But what do they know? Give it a listen and you be the judge.

It’s got to be Summer somewhere, right? Pr. Bruss and Pr. Kerns examine Article 6 of the Epitome of the Formula of Concord–the 3rd Use of the Law.
-
Got Law? Do you really need it?
The Twisted Preacher is at it again, this time dissing on the Law of God. Pr. Bruss and Pr. Kerns identify this type of preaching as Deceptimonic. However, on the bright side, Mr. Farley is the very first impastor to receive a gift from Pr. Bruss. Listen to find out what it is.
-
Will the Real Baptism Please Stand Up?
Know anyone who believes Christians need to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, evidenced by speaking jibber-jabber? Pr. Kerns had more clips to play for Pr. Bruss but they had to call it quits. Gratefully, the Scripture is clear: One Lord, one faith, one baptism…(Eph. 4:5).
-
Just Another Mixed Bag
Pr. Bruss and Pr. Kerns listen in on some bad sermons.

-
Comparing the Two Views
Without Pr. Bruss, I enlisted the help of my friends at The Sacramentalists Podcast. I analyze a guy speaking about Holy Baptism, comparing what he says to those who truly believe the Scriptures that Holy Baptism does something.
-
Hooves or Paws?
No one wants to admit the Pastor they sit under is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. No one! But how do you know?! Just because he makes you laugh, cry, is entertaining or kool does not make him legitimate. Moreover, what are you to do when you realize he’s a wolf? Yikes! You gotta do something… For…

Loose Ends
Pr Bruss and Pr Kerns listen to and talk about L-A-D-Y Pastors which seem to be all the rage these days. We listen to a yahoo who wants the events of Acts to continue today, and we round off the show with a Roman Catholic dissin’ on Luther. Enjoy.
-
Objective Truth vs. Subjective “Truth”
When in doubt, only accept the objective–because you cannot trust what comes from your reason, your heart or your fickle feelings. Nor can you accept the subjective meanderings of your preacher. If your preacher says, “The Lord told me to tell you…” Pr. Bruss and Kerns have this to say: “Run!”
-
How Do You Like Your Baptism? Wet or Dry?
Another Sacramentarian minimizing Holy (Wet) Baptism. Everything’s “spiritual” to these folks. Listen to Pr. Bruss and Pr. Kerns as we give Andrew Farley a listen.
-
Abusing the Bible
God gives gifts. We sin when we abuse those gifts. What about when preachers abuse the Bible in their preaching? There are endless examples of this abuse. Pr. Bruss and Kerns listen to a handful which make the point.
-
E-skat-ology
How does the American Evangelical view the End Times? Well kids, it’s convoluted. Bust out your charts and graphs and listen along with Pr. Bruss and Pr. Kerns. The simple truth of Scripture is better.
