Need advice for a person in their 20s? This episode was created for you!   

Your 20s are time life where you might be settled and looking for more, or feel tossed about in the waves of it! Oh, what a decade! There's excitement, hardship, opportuntiy, failure and adjustments, successes, relationships and marriage, and purchases. My, my.    

There are plenty of other videos with tips, but so few look to the Author of Life, the One who made you and knows what will be best for you and His kingdom.   

So, we thought hard and long about what points were most relevant to our "twenty somethings" journey and hope this can serve those trying to live well while following God, which goes together of course! :)  

3 of the tips are on YouTube in video format from our sauna, while the full show is on audio podcast platforms.

Today we discuss do the olympics and sports show God is real?  Whether the Olympics are upon us or we are competing in and/or watching our favorite sports, we may wonder why there is that drive to advance.  Does one need to believe a god exists to make sense of why we seem to pursue this purpose?  What drives on humans to reach higher levels?  Isn't life fun to consider; check out this ep and let us know your thoughts!

Links referenced in the video:   Just to be clear, their aren't concrete causations in such studies. Researches do notice correlations between health and happines and strong belief. We recognize exceptions as well.

Shot in the "reals" during 4th of July holiday traffic while we are "getting out of town;' we ponder why we all leave our homestead to try and have fun elsewhere. Should we not just move to "elsewhere?"  Were we meant to have homes and then leave them constantly to have fun? With cars, we can, but this did not occur as such for 99.9% of history.  Was this meant to happen now in time or are we doing life wrong? We have not the answer, SO join the conversation and give us your take!

Today we discuss great quotes from GK Chesterton which help us learn from children.  GK Chesterton was a famous figure in his time (and today) as a writer, philosopher, and theologian.  GK Chesterton had a special appreciation for the art of play children possessed and we see that adventurous spirit come out in his many works.  

Life Talks is a show where Brian and Melissa dive into types of topics and often takes place from their home sauna!  Come laugh and wonder with us!
