Among Wolves

DISCLAIMER: We are talking St. Nicholas and there are spoilers here for small children, but also you shouldn’t be listening to our show with small children around in the first place. Shame on you.

Merry Christmas!!!! We drink Tullibardine scotch while friend and fan of the show, Teri Love, drinks hot cocoa! For this one we talk all things St. Nicholas. I spring a pop quiz about St. Nicholas on Neil and our guest, Teri Love, and then we talk about our experience of St. Nick/Santa as a kid and as we grew up.

Then suddenly the Scotch hits Neil and he takes us on a Whitney Family adventure through the lens of Christmas traditions. From wooden shoes, to Mexican Italian party food, to Christmas parties, and Epiphany parties. There were so many parties!

It’s been a crazy month of November and we can’t wait to talk with you all about it, but Neil and I just haven’t been able to get together to record. So here is a talk that I gave all on the nature of the liturgy and how to enter into it, it’s a talk I gave to confirmation volunteers during their preparation for the coming year. Hope you enjoy it!

So first we talk about what we’re drinking, then we listen to the final Coffee & Creed with Connie Clough, then these four awesome young adults share their experience of Coffee & Creed and Church hurt and the struggle to be a faithful young adult in our diocese. Take a listen for some encouragement!

EXPLICIT CONTENT. We swear in this one. Well…Neil swears in this one. I edit out a bunch of it but then run out of time and just let the rest go which is why we’re releasing it as a bonus episode rather than a regular one.

Neil and I talk Halloween Kills, and Halloween Ends and how disappointing the ending of the series was. Massive Spoilers, but honestly don’t pay to watch Halloween Ends, listen to this instead it’s better than the movie.

Welcome to our Annual Halloween Special! If this is your first time, we talk about Halloween plans then discuss a horror movie! I’m drinking Stone’s Hazy IPA, Neil has Big Dog’s Red Hydrant Brown Ale, and we’re both drinking Dubliner Irish Whiskey. Neil prepared this time!!!! And we recorded for 4 hours lol. So we’re gonna split this up and cut things out, but this one covers a couple cool Halloween songs and specials, then we jump into Halloween 2018!

Ok we warm up talking about 90s action films, and suddenly realize that our guest Shannon doesn’t know who Silvester Stallone or Steven Segal is. We’re drinking Sam Adams Oktoberfest because it’s a reliably delicious Oktoberfest. About 20mins in we get around to talking about the actual topic…you’re welcome.

At Coffee and Creed Bishop Thomas did an open Q&A panel, we didn’t record the panel but we were there and took notes and now we discuss with real live young adult Shannon Savoy! Well kinda...there’s a lot of tangents. You’ve listened before you know what you’re in for.

In this 2 parter we first talk about our good friend and Bishop GLT and his opening address to the conference including the 5 goals he would like to accomplish during the Eucharistic revival. Then we briefly discuss Dr. Scott Hahn’s evening Keynote after our good buddy Garret brings us a couple glasses of wine “the finest wine of Idaho”. Key take away is that the Eucharist was a “Sacrament before it was a document” great line!

There are two fantastic interviews here in part 1, the first with Tim Glemkowski, the Executive Director of the National Eucharistic Congress, and the second with the Diocese’s own Anna Forsberg, the Director of Children’s Ministry at Holy Spirit Catholic Church. With Tim, Neil wasn’t there so I interviewed him about the Eucharistic revival and how to keep it from just being an event and how we can make it a catalyst for something in our lives. Anna talks with Neil and I about Sabbath rest and she recommends a book called The Relentless Elimination of Hurry

Neil and I are drinking Aberlour’s A’Bunadh Single Malt Scotch along with the Hofbrau Oktoberfestbier. The whiskey was great the beer was so-so, come on and get it together Hofbrau, Oktoberfest is supposed to be your thing!

In this special episode we talk the problem with the over saturation of entertainment in the market and how it is the symptom of a culture that prizes techne over virtue.

In this one Marc Sayre gives a talk on Evangelization. It was an awesome talk and he has some solid practical take-aways for our own personal mission field.

I’m drinking Modelo Especial, and Neil isn’t here…He was at home cause he has responsibilities called children. So Gevie, Lisa, and Elyssa step in to fill his shoes. After the talk we give our commentary on it as usual enjoy the episode everyone!

Special Guests: Gevie Hall and Lisa Whitney.
