Rounding out their series on women, David and Sam interview Patricia, David's mom. Patricia tells about her time in the IFB movement as a Hispanic woman - not entirely different but not entirely the same either.

If being a wife is one of the core values of the IFB, what happens when you are widowed? This week Sam and David have a chance to sit down with Sam's mother Suzanne who takes us through her unique story as a widowed woman in the IFB.

In alignment with the normal content of this podcast, Sam and David discuss what they are thankful for from the IFB and not from the IFB. Which list is longer? You might be surprised. Happy day after Thanksgiving!

Women may have one extra bone in their body, but men are still the superior beings. This week, join David and Samantha as they try to navigate the complicated minefield of being a woman in the IFB.

In this episode, Sam and David discuss their time across the pond and the impact this semester at the Crown College of the Bible had in shaping their view of God, ministry, and the value of English desserts. Think of this like a peak under the hood of their hearts.

What's more IFB than handing out Chick Tracts on Halloween? Doing a dramatic reading of one instead, of course! This week Sam and David invite you to sit back, relax, pour yourself a warm cup of cider (or hot chocolate) and enjoy this wonderful dramatization of the Chick Tract cult classic, Boo!

 

Also Darth Maul makes a little appearance at the end so make sure you stick around for that. Happy Halloween!
