In this podventure, we discuss the episode “The Greatest of These,” in which Robyn Jacobs is paired with her struggling classmate Oscar Peterson for the science fair, much to Robyn’s dismay. Whit suspects there may be a good reason why Oscar has a hard time in school. But should that matter when it comes to the way Robyn treats Oscar? That’s the real question, folks. Also, spelling sports, unconditional love, and homework evidence.

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “A Good and Faithful Servant,” in which the Barclays go on a family budget and Whit has a scheme to end Connie and Eugene’s constant bickering. Also, we are all stewards of God, money is a great motivator (and a universal reward), and bowling is more than a one-dollar injury. This whole episode just puts one in a millennial mood.

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “Let This Mind be in You,” in which Whit leaves Connie and Eugene alone for a weekend with the instruction to run the shop as he would. Both employees take this to heart in their own ways. Naturally, everything goes smoothly without any bickering or mishaps! Haha, couldn’t say that with a straight face! Also, friendship origins, burning down Whit’s End, the trick to understanding Eugene (Emilee finally figured it out), and an egregious alternate episode title.

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “The Boy Who Didn’t Go To Church,” in which Jack fills in as the lead during the Little Theatre’s dress rehearsal. The play tells the story of B.O.D.Y., an organization full of body-themed characters dedicated to helping people. However, LaFeet is tired of doing the same job for the B.O.D.Y. every day and decides to strike out on his own. We learn just what happens to the B.O.D.Y. when it's missing its feet. Also, imperfect metaphors, the nuances of gifting, and discussion question interrogations.

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “And When You Pray,” in which Donna Barclay tries to understand prayer after her brother Jimmy gets the bike he prayed for. She experiments by making a prayer request of her own. If prayer really works, surely God will make it rain on gym class, right? Also, God’s Corner™, mustard jar faith, biblical deep cuts, and the 8th deadly sin.

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “A Worker Approved,” in which Robyn Jacobs learns how to explain God. Whit and Connie teach Robyn the value of scripture reading, scripture-based evangelism, and studying scripture in community. Also, Chris lore, driver’s tests, spiritual rhythms, and the cost of spiritual freedom.

Have you learned the one way that you interact with scripture? Good. Now that is the only way you can study the Bible in perpetuity. Good luck!

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “A Matter of Obedience,” in which Tom Riley subs in as a Sunday school teacher and regales the class with a tale from his youth to illustrate the importance of obedience. Once upon a time, young Tom and his sister Becky were given very specific instructions by their father about delivering medicine to a woman on the other side of the Gloomy Woods. But did they listen? Also, Chekhov’s pocket knife, screaming squirrels, basement stories, and... a new catchphrase?

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “The Prodigal Jimmy,” in which Jimmy learns a hard lesson about obedience after falling in with a bad crowd at the arcade and getting conned out of all his savings. Thankfully, Jimmy has a good father whose love for his son is unconditional. Also, becoming Scrooge, modeling healthy Christian family life, and the importance of unstructured time (never not relevant).

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “By Faith, Noah,” in which Jack and Lucy come to Mr. Whitaker with some questions about faith. This leads naturally to the Bible Room where we are in for a classic story told with a modern twist. Also, exhaustion-fueled giggles, unintentional social commentary, and sharing your faith with your community.

CW: A brief discussion of disregard for human life in ancient Roman culture.

It's that time again, folks! Today's podventure is an Album Art Review, in which we oh-so elegantly bridge the gap between albums by discussing original cover art. Follow along with photos on our reddit as we discuss title differences, blond Eugene, and tree branches that look like hair.
