What's better than a healthy marriage? Your spouse being your best friend! Today we discuss cultivating friendship through dating and how to continue the pursuit of best-friend-ship in marriage.

The housing market is crazy apparently. Praise the Lord we got into this fully operational construction zone, a.k.a. our beautiful first home. Today we recount the experiences from Zillow, to home loans, to making offers, and to being first time home owners!

After another six month hiatus involving a bunch of weddings, buying and moving into a new house, not to mention a month long excursion to Oregon... We are stoked to have returned to the mics! This episode and the next two to come were recorded during our road trip back to Josh's homeland. (Excuse the sound of the wind please and thank you). Without further ado, todays episode:

Marriage Thoughts: Featuring Newlyweds Grant and Hannah Senechal | Ep. 125 by Revolutionary Ruckus Podcast

After posting a whole eight episodes in 2021 we are hoping to start stronger into 2022!

Today we discuss some topics over the past three years of podcasts that we have either changed our minds on or felt needed to be expanded on further. The main point is we have to be willing and able to learn and grow over time and extend grace to others as they do the same.

The topics/statements we expand upon in this episode are as follows:

1. Commenting opinions on social media.

2. The movie rating system as it relates to kids.

3. The evil history of slavery that we should no longer hold guilt for.

4. What level can women serve as leaders in the Church?

5. What is prayer good for?

6. Can we ignore laws/mandates we deem unjust/illogical/unbiblical?

We're finally back at it! Thanks for coming to join us again after a busy summer of traveling and lacking Podcast output!

Today we do a special triple book club episode based around Aldous Huxley's 1932 novel "Brave New World", and George Orwell's 1945 "Animal Farm" as well as 1948 "Nineteen-EightyFour". We are discussing many of the main concepts of these dystopian novels and how they apply to our current societal state.

As always thanks for listening!

Today we unwrap TaylorRaes special secret birthday gift episode! Spoiler alert we go on an exploration of relationship green flags to look for in a healthy relationship, as opposed to red flags that should tell you to get the heck out of there.

As always thanks for listening!

Today we search the CDC and other data bases for information on death rates and co-morbidities in relation to COVID-19. We know that the past year has been a tsunami of COVID related information but looking into these statistics and the ensuing discussion around fear is of great value in moving past this disease and back into functionality as a society.

From there we jump into social justice and the massive issues with ideas such as "liberation theology" and how they are negatively impacting the totality of society.

As always thanks for listening!

And check out the Just Thinking Podcast which inspired some of our thoughts and discussion around social justice today.
