Hold For Podcast

After a few episodes on disappointment (or not) with God, Marshall, Alex, and Macon turn to asking people about their souls. Awkward? Necessary? And is setting your response to music for everyone, or just Horatio Spafford?

More accessible than Henri Blocher: N.T. Wright, Evil and the Justice of God

In a surprising turn, Marshall watched a movie that he didn’t like. He, Alex, and Macon discuss how Preachy Art is Bad Art, that Christians like to make that kind of art, but they’re not the only ones. “Preachy” and “Bad” do most of the work in that sentence and your hosts work to figure out what they mean by it.

Tell all the truth but tell it slant

by Emily Dickinson

Tell all the truth but tell it slant —

Success in Circuit lies

Too bright for our infirm Delight

The Truth's superb surprise

As Lightning to the Children eased

With explanation kind

The Truth must dazzle gradually

Or every man be blind —

HFP Origin Story, Evangelicalism, Enneagram, and Season Two Plans

Show Notes:

Rattle and Hum

Alias - Sidney Bristow could do all the things in high heels.

The Last Thing He Told Me filmed in Austin.

Curmudgeonly

Let the National Association of Evangelicals self-define.

It’s not Richard Rawls. That’s a combination of Richard Rorty and John Rawls, neither of which advance the ethical position stated. It’s J.L Mackie who advanced the idea that in Ethics “Good” is merely “Yay!” and “Evil” is merely “Boo!”. The names of philosophers sometimes get a bit muddled up in Macon’s memory. The Management regrets this error. (For further reading.)

Peak Boo

Not to be confused with My Boo

The Nine Enneagram Type Descriptions

Richard Rohr’s Book. Lots of Inside Baseball and not the best 2023 entry-point for this ennea-stuff.

The Road Back to You, Book. Recommended.

The Road Back to You, Episode 1, of a 35ish episode Podcast. All 35 are helpful.

Presbytera in the Orthodox Church

Macon catches up with Marshall at the end of his Sabbatical. They discuss superhero movies and the less heroic but no less needed people who are deeply rooted and at peace as a result of The Way.

Show Notes

Tokyo Drift

Psycho

“How did you go bankrupt?”

“Two Ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”

Not a coconut, nor a banana, nor a watermelon, nor a lemon, nor a cherry, nor a grape.

The Burlington Sock Puppets, not to be confused with The Sockapellas.

Alex and Macon return to the Silence of God, and navigating The Way in the midst of it.

Show Notes:

The Final Countdown - Europe ← peak 80s video

The Final Countdown, as if Metallica wrote it

The Final Countdown, but Vintage Cabaret style (don’t give up on it until you’ve at least passed 0:52)

But of course, here’s the only Final Countdown version you’ll ever need.

Getting The Band Back Together

Rucking

It came up on August, 21, 2023.

not a Darius Rucker

but similar to a Belt Squat

Summer Shorts 4 - The Silence of God

The sermon that Marshall audited. (Spoiler, the camera does not pan to Marsh for reaction shots.)

Joe Rogan has 11M listeners. % of Joe Rogan love per listener: 1^-4 %

HFP has tens of listeners. % of HFP love per listener: 10% to 20% depending on the week. Four Orders Of Magnitude Better than the Joe Rogan Experience.

Disappointment with God

Sacred Pathways

There were many widows in Israel in Elijah’s time

“…who appointed me a judge over you?”

The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.

Marsh and Macon take a listener question about when retreat-y stuff just doesn’t seem to work, because sometimes it just doesn’t seem to work. The conversation doesn’t lend itself to very many punk-cover links, but acoustic-folk covers the emotional range pretty well.

Show Notes:

Evan pitches for the save, Marsh gets to watch. We interviewed Evan here.

Charlotte Knights

Quiet Time

The Jesus Prayer: The Ancient Desert Prayer that Tunes the Heart to God

Prayer Bracelet

33 knots, as it turns out

Andrew Peterson: The Silence of God

Lowland Hum: Half Here

Lowland Hum: Half Gone

Alex started a sermon series around Core Lies we tell ourselves. Macon finds them not personally helpful. They discuss cues for growth, mental grooves, and ontological alignment.

Show Notes:

while Miriam-Webster recognizes colorway as a word, when the definition is sufficient with “a color,” you know you’ve created a dumb word.

Sparta, surrounded by men, not bricks.

Will Greenhouse Retreats continue into year 2? Is Alex over or under doing it? Is it accessible to people, or is it enabling people? Also stay tuned for Alex’s One Weird Trick to perfect spirituality.

Show Notes:

The Fast and The Furious: a movie about family but not for watching with young families.

Greenhouse Retreats year anniversary!

Three hour tours are perfectly fine.

It’s Summertime, and we’re paring it down to two of us and restricting ourselves to a single short subject. In this episode Macon gets a chance to contextualize what some might think was dismissive commentary about church.
