This week, the topic is discipleship in today's church.

Sagrada Familia is perhaps the last cathedral we will see completed in our lifetime.  It took over a century to build, and is a remarkable feat of engineering and art.  Antonio Gaudi was quoted as saying, after being queried on how long the cathedral will take, "My client is not in a hurry."  Let's explore what it is like to build something bigger than you, and when it might surpass your ability to do it all yourself.

Fasting...no, not the 18 hour variety or with juice.  Lenten Fasting.  Some thoughts from Pope Leo.  

Religion in sports.  With the Winter Olympics going on right now, we have the opportunity to see athletes from across the globe engage in many religious practices and disciplines.  In this week's Wired Word, we will explore how people's religious and athletic practices interact.

Getting old?  Here is something everyone in the room can relate to!  Let's see what God has to say about that...but also us.  

Rabbit, Rabbit, yall.  Happy Feb 1st.  This week, TWW is dealing with church design in the modern age.

Everybody's favorite topic, sports betting!  When we were young, this would get you arrested.  Now, you can bet on whether Lebron's bunion is dry or filled with liquid on a 3 bunion parlay.  Is this good?  Were people doing this before, just now it's out in the open?  Is this the new smoking, with the "if you or a loved one has a gambling addiction" statement replacing the Surgeon General box?

Slowing down my computer reader, today's topic is SNAP reductions, food banks, and government shutdown!  Also, Jason does NOT reveal what is behind door number 2.

This Week - A Pope, a King, and a country bury a hatchet.  How can this help us forgive Aunt Alice for taking the dishes before the estate sale.  Also, Jason totally misreads the room.
