Because AJ's sick this week, we've departed from our regular programming, but fear not we have a pretty cute replacement and a whole teaching on dreams.

It's hard for us to comprehend that we've got this far in and haven't recorded an episode on the kindness of God, but to our shock we hadn't. Consider this our efforts to correct that oversight.

This week we're helping you get ready for Christmas shopping. Here's a list of our ten very favorite things from this year that you or a loved one may like for Christmas. Life tested in the Jones household and given two thumbs up, this should help narrow your gift list and empty your wallet at the same time.

Whenever we try and start something new, we're always bombarded with voices trying to talk us out of it. This week we talk about where they come from, how to get rid of them and the most important thing when starting something new.

This week we talk about an exceptional spirit, what it is, what it looks like and perhaps how to have one. That and AJ gets one year older.

This week our friends Sam & Tink join us to talk about the beauty of serving, pursuing your destiny and just generally drop bits of wisdom here and there. Also, AJ gets her iPhone X and it's birthday celebrations for a little boy.

A lot happened since we last talked: new iPhones, new Mario game and the Heaven Declares conference. We kidnapped our friends Gary & Sarah Morgan and asked them to talk about their School of Prophets - a brilliant online school for those who want to learn to prophesy.

We take a lighter approach to podcasting this week. A.J. picks the topic and asks, "What are your three favorite things about each season?" Needless to say, our answers barely stay on topic.

The gap between where you are now and where you want to be will always be with you, so you may as well learn to master the fine art of living there well. That's our main topic, but we also talk about La Croix flavored water.

We sometimes think love is communicated automatically, yet that's not the case. This week we talk about the five love languages and how each one can be used to strengthen connection in our relationships. Plus we all go camping.
