Never before attempted, its a "crossover" episode with another great podcast called "Fireside Conversations". 

In today's episode, we run the gammut of a few life-altering topics, then land on a quasi-sincere chat about what it means for iron to sharpen iron as the Bible instructs. Sit down for a few (26) minutes and enjoy some smiles and encouragement with Jerry and 2 former students, Bryson and Will!

You've either just come out of a conflict, you're in one now, or you're headed into a conflict. Conflict is all around us simply because we're humans who say things, do things, and think things that cause friction with other humans. Sometimes intentionally but usually not, we bump into people. So how do we fix those conflicts when they arrive, and do so in a healthy and even redemptive way? That's what today's episode is about.

We're here in Central VA. Seasons are definitely a thing (as are seasonal allergies)! In today's episode we talk about emotional, mental, and spiritual seasons. How do we handle the ups and downs of normal life, and how do we remember that it's all very NORMAL?!? There are some great tidbits of wisdom here, some laughs, and the triumphant return of Alyssa!

In this week's episode, Cassie shares a story of a new friend she made; a friendship born out of a bullying situation. So we thought it might be good to talk about where bullying comes from, how it happens, and what are some best ways to deal with it when we experience it or even encounter it. Alyssa is out with some allergies, but we are joined by a live studio audience! So...that's fun.

Of course everybody wants to be loved. But what happens when we're not loved as we should be, or we're unable to receive love like we should? This episode gets us into some really practical thoughts on how to show, receive, and learn love. And BONUS, the whole crew is back!

WOW. WOWWIE WOW WOW. What evolved in today's episode has never ever happened in all our previous episodes! We won't spoil too much here in the description, but today's episode is all about how God orchestrates things. Sometimes we see it (and we share a couple personal examples) and sometimes we don't. Either way, God is ALWAYS working! We decided that we'd do an Instagram Live for today's episode (Normally on @2x4_Podcast but we accidentally posted it on @southsiders) and doing that Insta Live turned out to be a HUGE blessing! 

We hope you'll not only enjoy this episode, but also see where God is orchestrating things in your own life! If 2x4 Student Podcast has been helpful to you in any way, would you leave us a review?

Most people on the planet deal with stress of one form or another. But how do we deal with it in a healthy way that lets us learn from it, make adjustments, and grow in the process? That's what today's episode is about. So take a deep breath, sip some chamomile, and think relaxing things. Just kidding. Crank it so the neighbors hear!

If you've got a question to ask or a topic to discuss, we'd love to hear it! You can always text the 2x4 crew at (804) 464-7077, or slide into our DMs over on Insta @2x4_Podcast. We'd love to hear from you!

Come on, now. Forgiveness is a daily matter. It's either being handed out or being given every single day. So how do we become the kind of forgiver that God has in mind for us? We dig into a quick but powerful conversation about forgiveness and its impact on us and others. You're going to be challenged and encouraged by our talk!

If you'd like to suggest a topic for a future episode, just text us at (804) 464-7077 or send us a DM on Instagram (@2x4_Podcast) and why not follow us while you're there!?!

After being drop-jaw shocked and cringing through a pastor telling a story about how he punched a middle school kid because he "loved" him, we talk about what it ACTUALLY means for us to be motivated by love and what that looks like in day to day life.

We welcome a special guest who's sitting in for Alyssa and quickly decide he has the best voice out of all of us.

We bumped up our goal of "20 reviews in 2022" to "22 in 22" because honestly, why not? With your help, we can do it! Leave a review of our podcast and share your thoughts!
