Before taking a break for a few weeks, the gang gets together to talk about their crazy week, the phenomena of Gen Z/Millennial gardening, and take a deep dive into Daniel's secret to thriving in exile-being people of the word and prayer.

Simon is back from a big trip to Nashville and he now has a cowboy hat and wants to live there.  Sage had coffee at a cute little shop by Summit Avenue in St. Paul and now she wants to live there.  Lon is quite happy with where he lives, but Sage wants to win him a Pastor Pod.  We also get into a great discussion about living for the kingdom of God rather than the empires of this world as we take a deeper dive into Daniel 7.

The whole gang is back together.  Simon talks a bit about recycling.  Lon fills us in on a bus full of elementary students that overpowered a would-be hijacker with the power of their inquisitive minds and Sage tries to remember that one song.  Eventually, we process what we learned about being a faithful witness in exile from Daniels night in the lion's den.

Sage is on a cross-country road trip this week, so the guys are left alone to talk about things like the saving of a literal eye of the tiger, cosmic brownie cereal, 1000 feral ninja-cats unleashed to solve Chicago's rat problem (don't worry all the cats have been vaccinated), movies that turned 20 in the last couple of weeks and most importantly, the stories of Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar in Daniel 4 & 5 and the lessons they teach us.

While Simon takes a long nap in the dentist's chair, Lon and Sage press on processing all kinds of good news, including wondering if the presence of giant saber-tooth cats is really good news.  They eventually get around to processing what we can learn from Daniel 3 about standing firm in our identities as followers of Jesus and remaining faithful to God in the midst of exile.

Happy Star Wars Day from the somethingBigger podcast crew!  This week, Sage talks about aliens and her newfound status as a podcast all-star, Simon brings us some good news about why our mom's are the coolest, Lon warns us that a rocket is falling to earth this weekend and we all dig down and talk about how Daniel shows us how to be wisdom warriors and to trust that God's Kingdom endures forever.

In this week's episode, Sage, Simon and Lon discuss the busyness of their weeks, so far, Simon talks about a heroic geocacher, Sage realizes we are impacting her university's culture, Lon & Simon discuss the Dog Man phenomenon and they all weigh in on what they learn about being a creative minority in exile from the first chapter of Daniel.

Simon brings us more good news as he podcasts from a van down by the pond, Sage has been doing a lot of thinking and talked to a lot of people about what it would be like to have a tail and Lon gets everyone prepped for National Pretzel Day.  AND the gang discusses the paradigm shift of living as a creative minority in the midst of exile and what it means to seek the shalom of the community you live in.

Sage, Simon and Lon celebrate their 20th episode!  Join them as they ponder the voices of squirrels and pigeons and Simon brings us a whole bunch of good news to brighten our day. Sage celebrates her triumphant crusade to get chocolate covered coffee beans back to the Billy at UNW. They also have a great conversation about what it means to be in exile and to be a creative minority.

This week, we discuss Easter festivities and candies, Sage updates us on sports and thunderstorms and we process what we are learning this Easter season as Simon and Sage have decided to extend their Easter celebrations.  And finally, Lon makes it through the entire episode without saying ANYTHING about Smigus Dyngus!
