This week we discuss what we are thankful for, as well as our favorite pie to eat at Thanksgiving. We also discuss John 3:17 and what it means to say God sent God's on into the world to save it and not condemn. We also discuss other ways of thinking, peaceful protest, and some wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita. Tune in!

On a scale of 1-10, one being "no worries" and 10 being "totally stressed out" — what level of anxiety do you generally feel on a given day? We discuss our responses, plus what lowers that stress and makes us happy! We also discuss Jesus' admonition not to worry about tomorrow: good advice, or applicable only to people of privilege? We also discuss fear, political usage of Scripture, and more!

Have you ever engaged with a random tester, someone possibly trying to phish you? How did that go? What is the difference between judging and discerning? Why are more women than men leaving evangelicalism? And how would you respond in an awkward social situation? We discuss it all!

We wax nostalgic about favorite Halloween costumes of times past, as well as favorite candy - right now! What is your favorite? We also discuss the wisdom of ancestors, the evolving story of Christianity, harmful theology, and whether God has a religion. Tune in!

The word 'Christian' was originally used as a slur against early Jesus followers. Today that term is problematic for different reasons. What is your own relationship to that moniker, and how has that changed over time? Bryan, Shannon and Ogun discuss, plus much more!

On this episode we discuss favorite books, the importance of reading (is listening to an audio book 'reading'?), and truth. Plus, why do Anne Frank's words from long ago resonate so strongly today, and why do immigrants get such a bad rap, considering the numerous biblical calls to welcome the stranger? We discuss!

Would you cash a check from someone who has seriously hurt you? How much would it take for you to take the money from someone like that? Shannon sets a low bar, Ogun needs more zeroes. We discuss that, plus the theology of "seed faith," the call for the church to be prophetic in these times, and more!

Shannon, Bryan and Ogun survive the rapture to discuss their own end-times experiences, reactions to the Charlie Kirk Memorial, James Baldwin on disagreement, and staying calm. Tune in! It's not Shannon's first rodeo, ahem, rapture.

Bryan, Shannon and Ogun are back! We kick off our fall season discussing fall, the Charlie Kirk tragedy, spite, and peacemaking.

We discuss our favorite things to enjoy off the grill or smoker on a holiday weekend, whereby Ogun learns about pork butt. We also discuss the fusion of patriotism and Christianity, the comfort or terror one received as a child from the concept that "God sees all," and whether there is an unbridgeable abyss or chasm between ourselves and other people or other creatures. Tune in to our summer send-off episode!
