Loren, Brook, and Tanner are back together again for the first time in several weeks! Today we’re discussing twinning, how crazy busy the last few weeks have been, our thoughts on an article about being bored in church, seeing the Sunday gatherings as transactional or practical or entertaining, and what it means (and does not mean) to expand the rule of Jesus.

Happy Labor Day! We aren’t taking a holiday break so here’s this week’s episode! We had one of our favorite people, Kelly Morris, join us today. We briefly touch on important topics such as lesser known uses of spiderwebs, an illegal way to use Furbies, and air guitar before we dive back into Unoffendable chapters 13-20. These chapters take us through conversations about how anger and offense relate to justice, some of our favorite revenge/vengeance movies, protecting our families, and loving our natural enemies.

What do gully washers, The Office, and mullets have in common? Not much! But they are all interesting enough to make it into today’s episode. Loren, Tanner, and Brook sit down and discuss the recent rain, some News Of The What??, chapters 2-6 of Unoffendable, and how expectations and gratitude will help fight back against our tendency to be offended.
