THIS WEEK ON METHOD THEOLOGY...

The girls get a little heavy and cover more ground than a trek to Mecca.

This episode was formed around how to communicate with people you disagree with and how to cope with Trump. It kind of snowballed...

Holly. LOVES. Donna’s Grandma. Donna’s aunt went to Martin Luther King Jr’s church and Holly is super jealous; she even screams. Refugees and the travel ban get covered in a special episode of "Side Notes with Holly" called *drumroll* "Holly's Political Corner"!  Also in "SNH:HPC", Holly wants to take “Under God” out of the Pledge of Allegiance. WTF. And, Donna says some smart stuff.

A brief rundown of the rest of this week's topics:

-Peacekeepers vs Peacemakers
-Politics on FB
-Slacktivism
-Phil Donahue, Sister Souljah, and Cornel West
-The importance of black culture and cultural representation in film and pop culture
-Is Donald Trump a Christian?
-Was Jesus a Republican?
-How the ladies feel about Christian victimhood in America, perceived “persecution”, and what both of those things say about the Church’s respect for God’s authority and power.
-Kaepernick and Negative peace
-How God experiences time and what that means for extremism.
-Donna does NOT take the Lord’s name in vain.
-Martin Luther King Jr's "Letter from Birmingham City Jail"
-Travel Ban Protest
-How to support your local mosque
- Shoutout to the Greenville PD!

Search FB and Twitter for your local chapter of "Meet Your Muslim Neighbor". It is both and American and UK organization and may be elsewhere, these are just the two I know of. There's one in upstate SC and many throughout the US!

Verses we referenced this week:

Matthew 22:21

Proverbs 6:16-19

Pretty much all of Job

Acts 7:54-60

Matthew 25:34-40

Leviticus 19:34

Exodus 22:21

Matthew 10:39

Luke 9:24

John 15:13

As always, WARNING: The ladies have filthy mouths. Thank you to BenSound.com for all the Royalty Free tune!

So... this is the ladies' fun talk... the one that's not controversial or heartbreaking at all. It's the Pro-Choice/Pro-Life/Anti-Abortion/Anti-Christ?/God only knows what debate. The ladies want to know what Jesus thinks and why you do what you do in response. 

On the lighter side...

At 14 minutes and 10 seconds into the DVD of Pocahontas, right after she and Meeko go down the waterfall, watch Meeko in the front of the canoe. You won't regret it. Also, Donna’s impression of a raccoon DJ at a club. Holly lists off a lot of the women Jesus loved and Donna loves Ethan Renoe again. AND... Christians are mean to each other. Again.

Matthew 5:43-48

Matthew 5:9

So.

Early.

Blame Donna. 

BUT

The ladies are super excited to post the episode they did with the Church & Other Drugs pod. They get to the nitty gritty of Dylan Roof, the death penalty, Osama bin Laden's death, and Christian pacifism. Plus, a little conspiracy theory sprinkled in.

Surely this is totes obvi by now, but WARNING: All these folks cuss a li'l bit.

Donna's brother is so hot he gets free food. Donna watched FOX News. Donna got out of bed so the ladies could talk beard hairs, wrinkles, Obama, and what it means to be called "Cute" by men vs women. Also, CONTEXT... context, context, context... and Jim Parsons.

This week, the ladies are both back from sabbaticals, where they went away and did stuff (WARNING: this means excessive Side Notes and a lot of topical ground covered); Donna tells you who she's impressed with in a brand new Nerd Out and Holly explains how to discipline your wife. Also on this episode: finding your identity and why it's so effing hard to keep yourself from looking for it outside of Christ, identity subtweets, Donna's selfie coffee table book, Holly's life as a PK Worker Bee, reclaiming the phrase "Let Go and Let God", and how to tell God you're angry at Him... and whether or not that's okay to do. A few scriptures mentioned: Mark 1:16-20, Ephesians 1:11, Amos 5:21-24. OH! And there's a brand new episode of "Times When Holly and Donna Totally Knew What They Were Doing"! Plus, much, much more!

Thanks to BenSound.com for the Royalty-Free tunes, and as per usual, WARNING: some language may offend, so cover up them sweet li'l ears if you need to.

#BackgroundProud

Holly loves snow. A lot. And cusses. A lot. The ladies share a little bit about how they met Jesus and what happened right after and a long time after. This is how they feel about how they feel and how they feel about how their friends feel. This is where they talk about what salvation is and what it means. This is running out of clever verbal high jinks at 2 AM. Happy Thursday! Thanks for listening! Don't forget to click subscribe!

(WARNING: There be some cussin' in this broad, so cover up them sweet li'l ears if ya need.)

On this week’s episode of Method Theology, a conversation on comparison culture morphs into a discussion on white and black beauty; Donna may backhand Holly over sports at some point and Holly may kind of deserve it. On small towns vs big cities, Holly gets cocky; she knows it, and she feels bad about it. The ladies talk about why beauty standards aren’t good for anybody, anybody at all. AAAAAAAAAAAND *Drumroll*, a brand new episode of “Times When Holly and Donna Totally Knew What They Were Doing”!

WARNING: Just like always, some language may be offensive. Cover them ears up.

Donna dabbles in potty humor. Holly reflects on Chick-fil-A life. Both ladies figure out what they want out of the next year and what they got out of the last year. Happy New Year. We hope your life is beautiful in 2017 and always. (WARNING: Of course, some language will likely offend some listeners. Parents be advised.)

Please accept the girls' utmost apologies for the late post this week. Between excessive technical difficulties for both ladies and a personal crisis for Holly, posting on Thursday just wasn't possible. BUT- they're back with a vengeance: 

There's a NEW SEGMENT called "Side Notes"

and

MORE BLOOPERS!

Anyway, in this episode, a house burns down, Holly explains how not to date, and Donna absolutely crushes a first grader's heart. Also, opossums! Much love, Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays!

Much thanks to BenSound.com for being our go-to royalty-free music source!

The girls have an EEEEEEEEEEEASTER EEEEEEEEEEEEGG! Not really, there's just a blooper reel at the end of the show, but stick around for it anyway. On this episode, the ladies talk about what it means to be a Christian and a feminist, and whether or not the two are mutually exclusive. Holly pontificates on traditional gender roles and submission and Donna talks about Oprah and Trans' Rights debates. Favorite quotes, (Donna, on getting cat-called) "Imagine someone walking up really close to you and just being completely silent." Also on this episode: "Would Jesus cat call?"

Email the ladies at [email protected]! We can't wait to hear from you; please, suggest topics, ask questions, and tell us how wrong we are. We want to know what you think!
