Lisa Mason joins the Padre this week for a discussion of the war on Christmas. The conversation meanders from shopping to commercials to Charlie Brown. Listen as they wade through the distraction to try and find a way to keep the season bright. 

This week the Padre sits down with Jamie McAdams to discuss the difficulties of waiting. We discuss the impatience we struggle with and how Advent just might be the season to help us with that. The guys also talk about how Santa may help us come to a deeper understanding of what it means to wait for Jesus. The guys also get a little riff in about resposibility and what it means to live into our choices.  

The Padre sits down with Jared Cramer, Aaron Evans, and Matt wise for a discussion of the misunderstood seasonn of Advent. Listen to the guys as they share their traditions and struggles with the season leading into Christmas. As a bonus, you get to hear the sultry tones of Aaron as he proclaims the virtue of the Counting Crows theology. 

The Padre talks to Jonathan Wickham (fellow Padre) about the nature of bullies. It's a timely look at Jonathon Martin and Richie Incognito. The roles of sin and brokenness and our responsibility to the process. Sean even takes a little guff about cmparing music and sports. 

The Padre and his guest (Jason Beshinski) kvetch about youth groups, church, and family formation. Listen in as they try to figure out the role of the family vs the role of the Church. Struggling to answer whether church is for everyone!

In this inagural episode of Padre's Pods we hear the origin story of the podcast. Listen in as the Padre talks about the importance of these kinds of stories and sets us up for future episodes.
