#020: Fantastic Feasts and When to Eat Them (ft Celia Denson and Tex Piper)

To commemorate the Thanksgiving feast you are about enjoy, Ben and Ryder pack an audio feast into an early release this week, just in time for your Thanksgiving commute home. First thing is first, thankfulness (1:50). For an appetizer, our resident adolescent pop-culture expert, Celia, joins to talk about some of the latest trends of apps and entertainment for students (3:35), including House Party (4:48), the new Harry Potter movie (6:00), Joe Bidden (7:25), and 'Andy's Coming' (8:15). Next, Ben thanks you, our amazing listeners (9:55), and then we jump into a rich discussion about food and so much more with Tex Piper (10:38), who leads Young Life's food services and ensures excellence in that area of our mission. Tex's wisdom transcends the food world, as we venture into philosophy of food (11:16), camping (11:50), discipleship (13:02), excellence (14:32), pioneers in Young Life food service (16:32), and the story of the big cookie (18:32). Tex also reveals his favorite Thanksgiving tradition, Strawberry Pretzel Salad (22:27). Here's his favorite recipe, no joke. We close with a discussion about creating spaces for discipleship (23:33), for which kitchens in Young Life have been monumental examples. We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Gotta go, ANDY'S COMING! If you love “On the Frontier”, leave us a review on iTunes, it really helps people find the podcast! Thanks, again ;)
