After some technical difficulties causing us to switch recording services, resulting in a lower quality in this week's episode - WE ARE BACK!

Perhaps in our most niche episode yet, we discuss Contemporary Christian Music and its best songs. We hope that you will flood our mentions or inboxes with all the ones we missed or forgot about. Make sure you create your own CCM playlist inspired by our suggestions!

Listen, and be inspired.

You may have thought that one episode was enough, we thought different. Here's not only more of our tips, but some of our faithful and lovely listeners tips. Grab your Ticonderoga Pencil and Composition Notebook and write down these amazing suggestions - especially our rapid fire tips.

As always, keep the conversation going and follow us on Twitter (@FutureFamilyPod), Instagram (@futurefamilypodcast), or email ([email protected])

We love you!

We are back with a BRIEF history of our podcast. Can you believe we released an episode that is half an hour long? (That'll shut Blake up.)

For this special episode of reflection, we decided to let you all hear how we came to be, what our favorite episodes were, and a special moment that made us laugh which was cut from a previous episode. 

As always, you can follow us on Twitter @FutureFamilyPod and Instagram @futurefamilypodcast or email us at [email protected]

Make sure to let us know your favorite moments so far and what you wanna hear us talk about in the future!

You gave us your questions; we attempted to give you our answers! Hopefully you agree with all of them. 

[If you submitted a question and it was not answered - don't worry. We will have another episode like this in the future and we will transfer any unanswered questions and new questions to said episode.]

Also, let us know what you think about our answers by reaching out on social media like Twitter (@FutureFamilyPod) or Instagram (@futurefamilypodcast).

Cody's favorite episode, Tanner's least favorite episode, and Blake's 'eh, I don't care' episode. We tackle the easy discussion of how Christians can view alcohol. You know, that drink that is conveniently marked with three x's in cartoons? Or, you know that stuff that Jesus turned all that water into at a wedding? That stuff. We discuss OUR takes and interpretations of how the Bible handles alcohol.

[As a part of our Christian liberties series, we know this is best nuanced out through longer conversations and study of the text; so feel free to reach out to us if you have questions or rebuttals.]

Keep the conversation going!

The title should explain itself, but they have this section to give more details so I'll type some up for you.

We discuss why we pray, how prayer is difficult, what are some great ways to get better at prayer, and what our nervous prayer tick is.

So, bow your head and close your eyes. Pray that we don't waste your time with our conversation. And hit play.

Give us a shout-out if you are the cool cats that we know you are! (edit: Tanner, why would you say cool cats? That is lame. Change it please.)

Oh man, oh man, oh man! We had Eddie Kaufholz on for a fun episode. He was sweating out of nervousness and laughter, Tanner was sweating out of nervous and laughter, Cody was sweating because he lives in Louisiana, and Blake was. . . there I guess. Seriously, you don't want to miss this episode. It was absolutely fun and such a great conversation starter about social justice, activism, and the Church. You'll find out so much about Eddie (like his favorite host of The Future Family Podcast, his favorite side-dish at weddings), and our thoughts on social justice as it pertains to our faith.

Be sure to check out The New Activist http://newactivist.is/about (new season COMING SOON!) and follow Eddie on Twitter @edwardoreddie

Let us know what you think about this episode!

("Work Work Work Work Work" sung by Cody) Straight off an episode on rest into one on work. Hopefully this conversation is helpful for everybody,  but we especially hope it helps our friends that are wrapping up college soon. We only touch the surface of a much needed discussion on how to work among other topics.

Hit play, sit back (or lay down, walk around, work out, eat Sonic Drive-In, clean your house; whatever you do) while you listen to us try to converse about:

- Why do humans work?

- Calling / Vocation

- Blake's surprising new job (no, he's not a dad yet)

- Why work is not fun sometimes

and much more.

Hey, if you are enjoying these episodes - let us know! Also, follow us on social media things. Tell your friends about us; hopefully in the most awkward way as possible. That would be great. 

Season Two 

We're back!!! 

This week we have a much needed conversation on rest. We just came off of a time of break and rest for our podcast and wanted to talk about the need for regular rest. Also, our thoughts on the biblical practice of observing Sabbath. What you need to know about intentional resting.

Recommended further research.

Every Good Endeavor by Tim Keller

Garden City by John Mark Comer

That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs episode "January 2018 Rhythms: Sabbath + John Mark Comer"

What a great conversation that sits just beyond that play button! We had a fun time just touching the surface of the Church.  

Listen as we talk about:

 - Why people may have problems with the Church

 - What we love about the Church

 - How to make the most of your involvement

 - Getting plugged in

This has been so fun! Continue to follow us on social media.
