NEW PROBLEM RECORDS episodes
- CHRIST HAS NO QUARTERBACK NOW BUT TOM BRADY
If we are the hands and feet of God, we have to acknowledge the divine in Tom Brady's. It's not easy I understand that but it's just theology.
NEW PROBLEMS vol. 1. CHRIST HAS NO BEARD NOW BUT OURS act 5. chapter 2.
15 min - THE MYTH OF PROVIDENTIAL PROGRESS
Things just don't get better because time goes on. Things exist and the moral arc of the universe doesn't have an opinion about where it's heading.
NEW PROBLEMS vol. 1. Unscripted #4
20 min - GOD, YOU GET THE GLORY OUT OF MY BEARD
Growing a beard at 32 is like trying to become a better man at 32. You just thought you'd be further along by now. Nevertheless, this face, this life, is patchy af.
NEW PROBLEMS vol. 1. CHRIST HAS NO BEARD NOW BUT OURS act 5. chapter 1.
27 min - SOBER JANUARY (sixth)
This was a hell of a week to stop drinking. The siege on the capitol building on January 6, 2021 is both frightening, and frighteningly predictable. I watched CNN sober, with a peppermint tea and in light of the last book I read, Between the World and Me, by Ta-Nehisi Coates. It's okay to be shocked. But we have to be shocked in context. The refrain is still the same: Lord, have mercy.
NEW PROBLEMS vol. 1. unscripted #3
25 min - 'TIS THE DAMN (reason for the) SEASON
My favorite song in 2020 was tis the damn season by Taylor Swift. So when a therapist asked, "Where do you want to start?" I had no answer. I listen to music about my problems, not talk about them. It's Christmas. I am George Bailey: melancholy, self-loathing, trying and failing to accept he'll never have the life he dreamed. But maybe I'm George Bailey: more aware of the abundance around him and through him by practicing generosity. Time will tell.
NEW PROBLEMS vol. 1. ALL GOD'S CHILDREN OF THE GREAT RECESSION act 4. conclusion.
36 min - TRYING AND FAILING IN THE STOCK MARKET (with the Mets Medical Staff)
Investing is one of those things people I don't really like do. Which is a personal problem. Good people, we have four options with our money: buy things, save for an emergency, invest, give it away. So open a brokerage account just like you do fantasy baseball. Donate money to charity. Get the rest in an index fund. We'll get tacos in 30 years.
NEW PROBLEMS vol. 1. ALL GOD'S CHILDREN OF THE GREAT RECESSION act 4. chapter 4.
32 min - CHEESE IS NOT A LUXURY (and I won't stop buying it)
Poverty blows. I do not prefer poverty. But poverty PTSD is real. Still, melancholy millennial me in 2012 and me today agree: buy cheese without apologies. Buy cheese!
NEW PROBLEMS vol. 1. ALL GOD'S CHILDREN OF THE GREAT RECESSION act 4. chapter 3.
15 min - BETHEL OFFERING READING #1
Bethel Offering Reading #1 is a doozy. It's my third favorite prayer, after the Lord's Prayer and the Serenity Prayer. Because if you can be trusted with God's money you may as well get more.
NEW PROBLEMS vol. 1. ALL GOD'S CHILDREN OF THE GREAT RECESSION act 4. chapter 2.
24 min - ON POVERTY PTSD (fifteen years of 'times are tough.')
I've been so poor. Don't let my vintage grandma sweaters distract you I'm still basically poor. The only way to get rid of Poverty PTSD is to give your money away.
NEW PROBLEMS vol. 1. ALL GOD'S CHILDREN OF THE GREAT RECESSION act 4. chapter 1.
43 min - REMEMBER WHEN THIS PODCAST WAS CALLED 'the spiritual gift of encouragement?"
I love sports radio, I have an anger problem, which means creatively, I can use hostility to make a good point (I think.) But that's not what this podcast is about so I'm going to trust that I can continue to do this podcast without hostility being the subtle vehicle I use to make an episode.
