This week, Jay and Will consider the tools and techniques at our disposal to respond to the mix of apathy factors talked about last week. Everything from how we schedule ourselves, to how we listen to others, to how we set goals in "doomscrolling" the news--there should be little tidbits for everyone in this one. Here's to new energy and action, Eagles!

Enjoy the road.

Are we less inspired than we used to be? Have we made descriptors like "meh" or "blah"normal or even cool? Why? This week, Jay and Will discuss Uche Anizor's latest book, Overcoming Apathy, and begin a multi-part series on how we respond to apathy as Christian families with good work to do in our world.

Enjoy the road!

It's just two days until Christmas Eve, and there's a wondrous mystery in the winter air. This week Jay and Will reflect on why this season is so special and consider how we might use it to share the love of Christ with our neighbors.

Enjoy the road and Merry Christmas!

Heaven, Eden, ghosts, and more--this week Jay and Will attempt (unsuccessfully at times) to answer deep questions from OCA's third graders. Listen in and gain confidence in entertaining your kids' curiosity and in sometimes saying "I don't know."

Enjoy the road!

This week, Jay and Will are getting into the holiday spirit and thinking about ritual, ceremony, and liturgy. What are the daily ceremonies--the habitual programs large and small--that are shaping us? And how do we curate the regular liturgies we follow as parents and model for our kids?

Enjoy the road!

In this short episode, Jay has Will unscripted talking about the importance of alignment in what we say and what we do as parents. If we want our children to put their faith in action daily, then so much of their development depends on us and the example we set for authentic effort on our Christian journey.

Enjoy the quick listen and, as always, enjoy the road!

Shipwrecks, Skittles, and praying like children--in this episode, Jay and Will consider the question: Does gratitude matter to our faith and to our God? They also count their blessings, big and small and odd, too.

Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy the road!

In this special extended episode, Jay and Will talk with author and C.S. Lewis scholar, Dr. Tim Willard. What is beauty? What does the concept of divine "truth" even mean? What can parents do to raise curious, virtuous, and whole children? And what's all that have to do with pelicans? Tune in to find out!

Do Jay and Will ever disagree? It's time to find out, as Will goes solo to tell you about some obscure Bible characters named Bezalel and Oholiab, the history of modern technology, what to expect from the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and why he thinks Jesus would use a smartphone.

On this week's episode, Jay and Will answer your hard-hitting questions. Everything from waffle vs. pancake preferences, to how to grow a full beard, to our favorite Bible stories and our challenges with faith is on the table. We hope you enjoy listening in on what makes us tick!
