Stuck in a carpool, Ben’s $2000 Lemon (and lessons learned), Even veteran podcasters screw up, and planning a Daddy/Daughter day.

Ben and Tom turned 17 and 15 last April and now go to a high school that requires us to drive them 20 minutes each way every day. With Ben on an after school robotics team, there are days we make this trip 3 times, plus Tommy has to go to work four days a week. So to cut down on driving, we bought a secondhand car so Ben can finally get his license. It all goes down from there. Plus, Mac and Greg's new podcast "Watch a Movie with Mac and Greg" is off to a great start, but would be doing even better if Greg hadn't messed up the recordings of three episodes so far. Lastly, in an effort to give our kids one-on-one time, Lily planned a daddy/daughter day with Greg. Enjoy the show?

I've never really liked the idea of just plain meditation, in part because I never really understood why I should meditate on nothing, and in another part because whenever I meditated on nothing, I ended up either thinking of more items for my to do list, or I ended up just complaining to God. That changed earlier this year, though, when I learned an incredibly simplified method of meditation that is not new age-y or overly distractive. So in this episode I share with you a simple way to find more calm in just 5-10 minutes each day. But I also want to share with you some of my own tricks for deeper prayer, because studies show that both meditation and prayer provide benefits to your brain.
