Wow! We had an incredibly cathartic, entirely eye-opening and thoroughly enjoyable conversation with Shellie in this episode.

This yet another episode that we’re certain any attendee or alum of Hyles-Anderson college will enjoy. We talked about everything from summer tour to the weirdest chapel speakers & messages we’ve ever been subjected to.

We also discussed what it looks like to be on the other side of the Independent Fundamental Baptist Movement once you’ve exited and the fact that much of our fears about leaving the faith are unwarranted (also, there is so much help and love to assist in overcoming the warranted fears).

Unrest and hatred have been filling our newsfeeds as of late. We do not feel that it is the time to look past all of the wrong that's going on.

Circumventing the problem has never solved it. "Doing The Right Thing" should be on the rise. Now is not the time to deny others what they are feeling. Now is the time to deploy empathy, walk a mile in someone else's shoes and take part in changing the narrative that has shaped much of our culture as a nation.

We believe that showing love to our fellow man is one of the most successful methods in undermining the hate that has permeated our society for far too long. Yes, black lives do matter. We see you. We hear you. We love you.

We are so thrilled to drop this episode with Stuart's friend Devon. Known to many as @IAmSymphony, Devon has a background in the fitness industry and has a wealth of knowledge that he freely shares with us in this week's episode.

As food delivery services take over and gyms remain closed during this pandemic, we were fortunate enough to have a personal trainer walk us through everything we need in order to educate ourselves on (from diet to exercise) not falling behind during these trying times. Also, his stance on pizza may surprise you! 😉🍕

Oh! One last thing! Devon's podcast is called "Another Casual Podcast", you can find it on your favorite podcast networks AND he recently had our very own Stuart Hardy on as a guest. You can check out their episode at the link below!👇

In our second "StoryTime With Stu", we covered famed cult leader Jack Schaap's book entitled "Dating With A Purpose". Stuart is familiar with this book as he purchased a copy as a teenager and this book was required reading for all Hyles-Anderson College Freshmen.

Even though we only read through chapter one in this episode, a lot goes on. If you've read this book before or are simply interested in taking an inside look at how someone who is now "doing time" in a federal penitentiary thought the teenagers in their cult should behave when dating one another then you'll enjoy this!

We are so excited to kick off a new series of episodes entitled "StoryTime With Stu".

In this series Stuart will be reading through various IFB books that have influenced the movement over the years. We're leading with Robert Hooker's work. Better known to many as "Dr. Bob Hooker", this man and his wife, JoBeth, penned a book entitled "Romance in Marriage: Keeping The Flame Alive".

This book was off limits to all unengaged / non-married couples as it was "too hot to handle" for those who had yet to experience marital sex.

We think you'll be delighted by episode one in which Stuart reads through the first three chapters in each section (one for men, one for women and one for couples).

Enjoy! 😉

Some time ago, we asked you to share your stories from your time at Hyles-Anderson College, First Baptist Church of Hammond, or just your involvement in the Independent Fundamental Baptist movement.

Wow! Did you deliver! From hilarious anecdotes to heartfelt tales we were thoroughly moved by what you all shared.

Today, we are finally premiering the first edition of "Your Stories". Listen in to see if you recognize your story (or someone else's) and feel free to shoot us a message with your own story if you'd like to share.

**All stories (unless otherwise indicated) are shared in anonymity.**
