This month we tackle a new series! This time focused on honor and shame and how they function within society for good and ill. This episode Ravi and Jaymes introduce the topic and how it is relevant to practical living out of proper theology, and as always define some terms. Come join us, and make sure to join our Discord server and participate in the conversation!

Ravi and Jaymes are joined on this episode by Kate Rodriguez and Keturah Lamb, both long-time listeners to the podcast! We discuss this year's Banquet and Ball -- the Paragon Ball. Along the way we encounter topics such as cults and culture as well as the good, the true, and the beautiful.

Tis the season to argue about holidays! Er, no that's not right...

Join Ravi and Jaymes as we explore three contentious holidays, their true meanings and origins, and how we should relate to them with a mindset of orthopraxis. And how are Christmas, Halloween, and Easter related to each other anyway?

Join us on our Discord server to share your favorite holiday traditions! https://discord.gg/T8EBzrDbPR

Here are a few of the links that Jaymes references:

At long last, we come to it. The episode where we talk about those things. The things the proper sort of people just don't do. Or shouldn't they? (Spoiler alert: petting kittens is evil.)

Join us while we explore what may or may not make something a vice, and how we should relate to them, and to those who participate in them!

Today we're going on a brief historical survey through the Church's wars against heresies as embodied in creeds and other expressions of the common faith. A very brief survey. Barely enough to get our toes wet, but hopefully enough to spark your interest in studying more!

The world has been afflicted with poor history teachers, who seem to think that the most important things about the past are the most boring and useless parts of it. And so history has taken on a reputation for dry, dull, evilness. But is studying history only an academic pursuit of endless trivia?

No! History is one of the most important things we can study for improving our practical, daily, God-honoring lives!

Come join us as we discuss how. ;)

To wrap up our series on men and women, we're doing another Q&A episode! We cover topics ranging from Nietzsche to ghosts to child labor, and we even talk about a few things relevant to our series, haha. It's a fun ride, regardless, and we'd love to hear your thoughts!

Let your hearts be brave ye who venture into this subject!! We've been hinting since our earliest episodes that we would eventually, someday, take the dive and discuss our thoughts on modesty, and the day has finally come. But first, we lay some foundations in the key distinctions between men and women in communication, and how we should approach that concept at all. If you're puzzled by what the connection is between communication and modesty, give a listen!

Also, big news, this is the penultimate (second to last) episode in our series on relations between the sexes, and the last one will be another Q&A episode! So make sure to send in as many questions as you can so we have something to talk about. ;) We'll be focusing on questions relevant to our topics in the last several episodes, but you can also venture into topics relevant to relations between the sexes that we didn't cover. Send them in via email, FB messenger, Discord, however!

So what happens if you aren't dating/courting and you aren't married (yet)... can you still be friends with that weird, alien, other half of the species? How do we navigate the awkward, touchy, complicated waters of false assumptions and accidental miscommunications? How do we live in love towards each other, radically, while still remaining not-marital?

We don't have all the answers, but we do take a stab at this subject along with another of our friends: Sam Lichty. Join us and let us know what you think!

After courtship and dating comes, Lord willing, marriage! But what does that look like? Joining Ravi and Jaymes this month are Azriel (our first returning guest!) and his wife to discuss the purpose and function of marriage. And we definitely have fun storming castles along the way. ;)
