God, Scrubs, and Workboots Podcast

Some people are lost, and some just don’t know where they are going yet.

Well, it’s both a long and a short answer.  The short version is: God asked him to do it.  The long version involves standing there after God asks you to do something and you have to figure out what you are going to do next.

I hope you enjoy this episode.  It’s a little personal, in a good way.  As usual, please continue the excellent job of sharing the links for the shows and the blog posts.  That’s what the buttons are for.  Thanks.

And even more so now, please continue to pray for us as we crank out this thing every week from scratch.

Thanks,

Cliff

It’s another show about politics this week!

So to help answer that question, I grabbed my brother Clay and my old friend John Burke to discuss it.  They are both on opposite ends of the spectrum politically, so I figure we could have a nice little chat, end up somewhere in the middle and all sing KumBaYah.

At least we kept it civil.  Mostly.

Let me know what you guys think about it.

And as always, thanks for praying for us, and thanks for listening.

It’s Episode 29, Where Noah, my beloved son in whom I am well pleased, completely explains the Mystery of Easter.  OK, maybe not completely.  But he does pretty good for a 6 year old.

It’s a super short episode, and trying to get a 6 year old on a Saturday morning to hold still and talk directly into the microphone is a bit of a challenge, so the audio levels are sometimes less than perfect.

But we enjoyed making it, and that part shines through anyway.  

Hope you guys enjoy it.

I don’t Have enough Faith to be an Atheist.

I’ve said that numerous times.  I have thought about it, played around with the concepts and really well laid out arguments for an Atheistic world view.  I can’t handle the leaps in logic and sheer blind faith required to ignore so much of the world.

Of course, that’s just what an atheist would say to me about my faith.

And while I do have plans for a show devoted 100% to atheism, it’s not the main topic of this week’s episode.

This episode does not follow the “normal rules” of conducting an interview.  We barely mention where he’s from, what he does, practically no well defined narrative at all.

If you are diggin Lance, head on over to his website, http://www.czyfox.com/

I would also appreciate it if you headed over to our sponsor’s page, Revival Outfitters.  More on them in future episodes.

And if I could ask one more favor, please spread the word about us.  Please share the Links on FaceBook, instagram, heck even Google+.  We’re not too proud.  I’ve started snapchatting rather than tweeting.  My particular brand of narcissism seems more compatible with SnapChat than Twitter.   A branding expert would probably say I need to stick to one handle across all media, but I’m not about to start doing things correctly now.

Thanks for listening,

Cliff

Episode 27, Lent: the good, the bad and the ugly!

I thought about calling this episode, All About Lent.  But then I realized that not only was kind of a boring title, but also a horribly misleading one.  If you want a complete history of lent, check wikipedia.  (Don’t forget to donate)  

Rather, this episode is more about me working out my feelings about the “holiday.”  I confess to being youthfully dismissive of it earlier in my life.  Just another case of The Catholic Church stepping on your throat, preaching the idea that God Hates Your Good Times.

But in the last few years, I’ve had a change of heart.  Sort of.  Mostly.  Obviously I was conflicted about it.  So I called my friend Jeff.  You remember him, he’s been on the podcast before, talking about Prayer and Thanksgiving.

We give a brief history, and then dive into some of the problems of institutionalized legalism, the hedonism associated with Lent, and the positive benefits that can come daily discipline.  (I wrote a little bit about that here.  Not my best work, but I’m learning.  )

Jeff had some wonderful insights, and I am excited to share them with you guys.

Here’s some of the scripture references:

Colossians 2: 6-22

Anyway, I know you will like it.  And when you do, spread the message with the Social Media buttons!!  Pick one, pick all of them, go nuts.  remember, you are the marketing department, please continue to help us out.

Above all, continue to pray for us, as we make this project from scratch, every week.

Thanks,

Cliff
