Christianese

As the saying goes, "Dying is easy, comedy is hard." This week we welcome back our buddy Bryan as we explore the subject of what happens when we die. As comedians, we've experienced death many times on stage, but with real death there are no second chances.

This weeks Hot Topic features Danny Sachoff. Continuing the Sachoff family affair for yet another week, we discuss what the transition has been like from secular High School to Christian University for young Danny. Jared revels in getting Danny to expose all the Sachoff dirty laundry for the entire world to hear...and by entire world we mean Jared's Mom and Barb the Christianese organist...that's one advantage of being the nations least listened to podcast.

After a Thanksgiving hiatus...we're back! This week our special guest is Jill Sachoff, a talented actress and wife of one of the knuckleheads who hosts this podcast. Join us as we discuss what it's been like for Dan and Jill as their first kid left for college. This time of great change brings with it many thoughts and emotions but luckily Jared is on board to navigate the conversation...he's not a therapist, but he's watched Dr. Phil...A LOT!

This week marks one year since Dan lost him Mom. We discuss how we process death as Christians and we're joined in studio by the most pleasant Burkholder (besides Jared's wife)his awesome son Andy!

This week we're joined by special guest Barry Moore as we discuss ethnocentrism in the Church. We also discuss Facebook, Communion wafers and Mary Poppins shoes...now you know why we call this one Hodgepodge...enjoy!

This week we introduce a new facet to our podcast. We call it Hot Topic and we'll be doing these every other week. This is a twenty minute version of the show where we'll discuss a variety of issues, sometimes with Bryan and sometimes with other guests. We'll still continue the longform conversations with Bryan every other week. Today we address some questions and concerns we've received from other Christians about our conversations with Bryan. Our special guest is Randy Starkey a pastor from North Carolina.

In this super charged episode we talk about where our idea of good and evil come from. The conversation also touches on the concept of justice and Bryan voices some of his biggest problems with Christianity. We also introduce a new sponsor to the show this week. This episode is a great example of us being able to agree to disagree and in the end you'll experience fist bumps, high fives and solutions...or will you? 

In this episode we explore how we approach parenting and talk about how our parents shaped our lives. We also listen to one of Bryan and Dan's favorite obscure songs from the 90's that we're determined to make a hit. 

In this episode we hash out some of the problems Bryan has with the Christian faith and Jared chats with Nigel from our church about his band.
