InkleDeux Podcast

As AJ prepares to enter into dad life, he and Brandon say a fond farewell to the podcast that did a lot for them, even if it never did what they thought it would. Thanks for listening. Keep the meaningful conversations happening!

This week, Brandon brings his questions and concerns about the good, the bad, and the meh of investing our mental energies and abilities into unreal fantasies to AJ.

This week, Brandon shares some new thoughts on Exodus with AJ. What if we read the Exodus, and maybe the rest of the Bible as well, as being about God's people, Israel and the Church, instead of from the lens of the "main characters" like Moses?

Brandon continues to help AJ get ready for the arrival of his twin little girls.

This week, AJ comes to Brandon looking for some words of wisdom about being a dad. AJ is a month or so away from becoming a new father to twin girls, so he'll take the advice and guidance he can get.

This week, AJ shares with Brandon some thoughts from rereading the story of David and Saul in the Old Testament. What does David's refusal to take vengeance on Saul teach us about justice and trust in the Lord?

This week, Brandon brings the idea of meditation to discuss with AJ. What is the relationship between meditation and humility? How does Christian meditation differ from some other forms?

This week, Brandon shares some information from a book he's been listening to. It talks a lot about the idea of reward and habit, but he wants to talk to AJ about what that approach to understanding the self leaves out. What is a more whole, Christian understanding of the self?

This week, AJ and Brandon build out from the idea of ought into obligations. So often, we think of obligations as limitations and restrictions. Is it possible, though, that our obligations could actually serve to make us more free?

This week, Brandon and AJ dive a little more deeply into the question of what we "ought" to do. Do our choices matter? Are they free or fated? How are we supposed to choose?
