Our second recording session included delicious entrees provided from Amarin Thai Cuisine.  Rewell begins our new discussion with his interest in E.Musk's story. Larry introduces us to the notion of robber barons. We briefly talk about how an individual's life is a platform of expression and creation. 

A prelude to the story of Larry that became a legend. The deepening of important relationships. The creation of an impressive self. This is finally the final episode from our premiere recording. I have had numerous talks with Levi and Rewell and countless discussions with Larry. However, this was only the 2nd occasion for the four of us to get together with the purpose to converse with each other, which was recorded. We are excited to continue our talks with each other.

Larry starts out this conversation about the human heart and how it behaves contrary to nature. The idea of symbiotic relationships in nature. Larry talks about the need to return to the original design. What do we want; the big question. Rewell wonders what will we look like in heaven. This then leads to a brief talk about marriage in heaven. We explore the idea of intimate relationships. And the dynamics of relationships on earth and in heaven.

Larry starts out our discussion in this episode in another room? Come back Larry! Episode 4 is a continuation of our Ep. 3 conversation Larry talks about the Bible's uniqueness. Rewell asks, "What is the greatest lesson you've learned in your life." Briefly discuss connecting with others. We discuss how the desire for spiritual things is the basis for spiritual growth. If the desire is missing or has not been explored, "You're not ready for this." However, if the desire is present, growth can be explosive.

Episode 3 is a continuation of our Ep. 2 conversation. Rewell starts us out as he shares how following God has created stability and a sense of belonging. We briefly discuss the phenomenon of over-studying, an intake of excessive information. Another short dialogue of discovering God's will for our lives. Jason shares how the Bible spoke to him emphatically.

Episode 2 is a continuation of our Ep. 1 conversation. The potato chips bowl was moved over to Levi, to decrease its temptation. We discuss the tendency of pushing God a way due to a sense of guiltiness. Apostle Paul hits the nail on its proverbial head when he states in Romans, "For what I want to do I do not do." We all can identify with this. Larry takes us on a ride with the "Salvation Slide": the process of lifelong growth. This episode ends with separation: the ultimate human fear.

Our conversations are a continuation from past talks. However, this is the first occasion for the recording and publishing of our discussions. Tonight's dinner theme was Mediterranean. The snacking you hear early are potato chips. We discuss the experience of feeling lost, its expression and how it manifests itself. This feeling of lost is related to our connection with God and the impact it has on our emotions and daily life. Culture is lightly examined and our observations and thoughts are shared. A different perspective of time is described as we discuss how the importance and significance of time. I talk about my prayer life and hindrances that have deterred me from seeking God through prayer. Levi describes  the changes he is experiencing in his life.
