Occupy Today

Sex and intimacy - that's what we're talking about! Why are they two separate but equally important issues? We unpack a lot in our longest podcast yet and make it easier to swallow by presenting it in two parts. There's even space for that awkward silence when we ask, "Was it good for you?" Hold on to your socks, this is Part 2...

With six out of the eight of us present for this “Getting to Know You” episode on Occupy Today, we share how each of us has been directly affected in some way through Adoption, with Scott and Sophie getting ready to have their second child (through embryo adoption!). Most surprisingly, all of us had a story to share, and no two stories were the same. Join us as we explore how adoption has impacted our lives. The journey towards family often takes surprising, and beautiful, turns.

Like most of America, we have found ourselves increasingly disturbed by the immigration crisis at our southern border, particularly where children and parents are being separated by the recent “Zero Tolerance” policy. Our discussion in this episode of Occupy Today isn’t so much about providing armchair solutions but rather an introduction into how we look at the “others” in our midst. We look forward to revisiting the issue in the coming weeks and months as the crisis evolves, especially as Justin and Jennifer were unable to participate in this discussion.

Welcome back to Occupy Today! We're so glad you’re on this journey of spirituality and activism with us – and when and where those two things intersect.

Our nation continues to be gripped in a heated debate over gun control. Where do "Rights" and "Responsibilities" align? To have honest dialogue, especially on such controversial topics, requires vulnerability – going to the places where stories are no longer anecdotal or hearsay but personal experiences, reflections and fears. Again, this isn’t so much a discussion to provide answers but rather a conversation to open our eyes and ultimately our hearts to another’s experience and perspective.

Welcome to our first ever podcast for Occupy Today. Please be gentle!

Today’s topic? Well . . . let’s just say we try to butcher a very sacred theological cow… Penal Substitution*. It’s a great launching point for discussing justice, wrath, judgment, punishment and all sorts of related things. Jumping into the Deep End? You bet!
