Regular listeners will remember our conversation with Annie Crawford about the Midwestuary conference. In this episode, the Pugs talk with Paul VanderKlay, the originator of the estuary concept. They discuss what Estuaries are, how they work, This Little Corner of the Internet, and the importance of having open, free conversations with people. There’s a lot of practical wisdom in his ideas and approach, so join us in this episode to take a dive into the Estuary.

I want to give a few pointers of how to fire faster, and do so effectively. There are bad ways to get the job done, and then there are less bad ways. I'm for the latter.

What I'm talking about here is the actual conversation. There are things you should be doing and saying leading up to the firing conversation. I've talked about that here before. But when it comes to pulling the trigger, what approach should you take?

Today, David looks at a recent statement by a Christian pro-family policy organization fitness standards for combat service to see what arguments complementarian thinking about men and women leaves Christians about women in combat. Complementarian thinking is the "in" word for political conservatives when addressing the male-female "divide," but is that an unnecessary Christ-denying capitulation? David explains how he would now approach these issues.

On this special episode of China Compass we revisit a special interview I did last year with NSA Professor (and former China missionary), Brent Pinkall, who is getting married TODAY (Oct 4) here in Moscow to Christiana Hale, also a teacher at NSA (and published author: Deeper Heavens). 

In part to honor my buddy Brent, and in part because he's got us groomsman so busy I didn't have time to record a new episode, most of today's episode is of that previous (fascinating) conversation.

Enjoy! And pray for Brent and Christiana as they tie the knot today and begin a new life together!

In this episode of Cross Politic, Pastor David Reece joins to explore the biblical foundation for buying businesses, starting with the parable of the talents in Matthew 25 where Jesus commands us to multiply what we've been given rather than bury it in the ground. This discussion revolves around how Christian men have a duty to take calculated risks, grow capital, and expand God's kingdom through business ownership, with Reece breaking down why buying a business can provide better returns than traditional employment while allowing you to bring biblical principles into the workplace.

In our chat, we dive headfirst into everything from the mind-boggling art of circular breathing in music to the age-old debate of optimism versus pessimism. We even manage to make financial management sound funny—because, let's face it, money is a mystery wrapped in an enigma, especially when cryptocurrency gets involved. We reminisce about the good ol' days of roller skating and the joys (and injuries) of parenting.

We also take a moment to laugh at ourselves while trying to master the art of accepting compliments—because who knew self-worth could be so complicated? Our conversation meanders through the hilarity of societal norms, like why certain drinks are "gendered," and we even touch on the evolution of Botox from beauty to medicine. And, of course, we can't forget the fall's impact on nature and the ridiculousness of cleaning products. It's a wild ride, but hey, that's just how we roll!
