What is the difference between testimony and worship? Well, AJ and Brandon try to get to the bottom of it and understand the proper role for each in our journey to Christ.

Having listened to some of the debates in Peoria about bathrooms and school curriculum, Brandon brings his frustration with the way science is becoming political so that he and AJ can wrestle with it together.

In their Bibles, Brandon has been reading through the Minor Prophets and AJ has been reading the Historical Books. As they've been reading, they both noticed that sin always leads to separation and holiness always leads to the people being gathered together. Why is that? And how do we interpret that in our own experiences of isolation and friendship?

This week, AJ and Brandon talk about the idea of idolatry and what it would mean to serve Mammon, which we tend to translate as money. How is it possible to "serve" money? How do we avoid it, even as we try to build a business?

This week, AJ and Brandon are joined by Walther, because, if you're going to discuss friendship, you need to have a friend to discuss it with. Making friends isn't always easy, but it's definitely important.

AJ had something of a revelation this weekend listening to the Gospel about St. Thomas and his doubts about Christ's resurrection, so he and Brandon talk about the struggle with doubt and St. Thomas' incredible response once he realized the truth.

Happy Easter! AJ and Brandon jump into a conversation about stewardship. Sports, capitalism, and culture all play a part in helping us come to grips with what it is and what we need to be doing.

This week, as we prepare for Holy Week and Easter, AJ and Brandon talk about the tendency to view Christ's work as restoring us to Eden and just how short that sells what Jesus accomplished.

Continuing their look at CS Lewis' Reflections on the Psalms, AJ and Brandon discuss the Psalmist sense of the after life and God's ongoing revelation through the Bible about what Heaven and Hell really are.

This week, Brandon starts us off talking about a hard conversation with an anxious 8 year old. It's all well and good talking about the faith, but how do you explain death, heaven, and hell to a kid without causing trauma or losing the reality?
