Bombadil's Porch

In this episode we catch up with Nate's adventure in the city of New Orleans and discuss the under-appreciated virtue of magnanimity.

In this special episode, the Porch welcomes Cara Foote, twin sister of Caleb Klontz, for an interview on their birthday and a reflection on what God has been doing in their lives.

In this episode we explore a number of topics that have been on our mind recently. C.S. Lewis reminds us that in the Bible judges were not the sort to wear starched wigs. We also get an update on the path of the Doehle family towards adoption and how we can help support them. The war in Ukraine and questions about the end times is discussed and we are encouraged to check out the music of Ronnie Martin, formerly of Joy Electric.

Oh, and we tease a very special guest speaker who will join us next week on the birthday of a very special Porch host...

In this episode we discuss the unfolding conflict in the Ukraine, including opportunities to help here and here. We also go on a rabbit-trail regarding custom computers and the joy of DIY.

In this episode we discuss Christian etiquette when traveling abroad and our expectations and concerns about the upcoming Lord of the Rings series. Oh, we are also interrupted by a fire.

In this episode, after a brief rabbit trail on beards, we look at the future of science in the age of super computers and the difference between incomprehensible AI and the Christian faith. We also pose the question, "If you were president, would you boycott this year's Olympic Games?"

Join us today as we interview Dr. Dave Sutton and Dr. Blake McKinley whose book, The Grandpa's Manual, has just been published. Listen as we put the pig on the table, remember that the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and are reminded of the timeless value of grandpas.

In this episode we discuss the incredible feat that is the James Webb telescope and how such instruments enable our worship to deepen. We also look at the rapidly expanding development in Spokane Valley and consider what it takes to love a community successfully as it grows.

Season three of the porch launches alongside 2022. We look briefly backwards at 2021, give Caleb a new nickname, and talk about the similarities between Covid and throwing a rock in the air.

In this final episode of Season 2 here on the Porch, we look back at the Time Magazine's Person of the Year selections from 2006 to the present. We consider the lasting impact (or lack thereof) of each choice and how it has shaped the world we live in. A big thank you to all of our listeners who have joined us this season! From Chris, Caleb, and Nate, we wish you all a Merry Christmas and look forward to joining up again on the Porch in the new year.
