Taco Bout God

Hey Friends, 

It has been a hot minute. Dave and Brian discussed what's next and things we are considering for the future of our podcast. Where's Adam? We aren't sure, but if he's listening, there could be a fun treat inside the podcast! 

More importantly, Dave will sell artwork, and 100% of the proceeds will go to Slovakia, and it's a great cause! Check out his art display at 815 S. Washington this November and December! 

As always, thanks for listening! 

Hey Friends, 

Thanks for sticking with us as it's been a bit hard to record during a pandemic. We gave it a try. You might notice that it starts to echo a bit around the 20-minute mark....we aren't sure why it's doing this. However, it was so much fun to be back recording that we are going to keep trying until we learn to record a real podcast. 

Don't forget to email us at [email protected] for more info!

That's right, Dave and Brian were able to sit down and record again, this time socially distanced on Dave's Patio with his kids. Not sure why, but eventually we had some echos. Sorry bout that. Anyways, email us at [email protected] and let's get these recordings happening again!

Sarah Swindall is a member of OSLC and a current Seminarian student. During this Quarantine, her internship has quickly changed and now there's unrest blocks away from her internship site due to the murder of George Floyd. This conversation is just a start, but we hope that our listeners join us in condemning the white supremacy that has led to the deaths of so many unarmed black, indigenous, and persons of color in this country.  

We grieve with, pray for, and stand in solidarity with the families and friends of all whose loved ones have been and continue to be victims of injustice, oppression, racist violence, and hatred in our local community and in our world. 

If you want to have any further conversations about what we could be doing as a community, Please email Pastor Brian at [email protected] 

Dave, Ryan, and Brian continued their social distancing and using this time apart by bringing people together. Today we were able to interview Suhel, who is apart of the Muslim community in Naperville. We spent our Time talking about faith foods, Islam 101, hearing about Suhel's approach to faith and his life experiences...and it will be no surprise to our listeners, but we are all now friends! 

Thanks for checking us out and don't forget to send your questions to [email protected]

It's that special time of year again, Spy Wednesday, which happens during Holy Week. This is the day that Judas arranges to turn in Jesus. Brian chooses to prank people on this day every year and this year is no different! We hope you enjoy!

While we are still social distancing ourselves, we have allowed modern technology to continue to bring us together. We were honored to have Alyssa and Levi come onto the Podcast. If you are trying to google more about their faith tradition, start with "Centrist/Modern Orthodox Judaism" as they gave us a wonderful snapshot of their faith tradition. 

It's probably typical for a lot of our listeners to have stereotypes that we've probably had about Orthodox Jews because of TV and Movies....Alyssa and Levi's explanations were really genuine and impactful, and hopefully, remove some of the stereotypes. It was also so kind of them to spend time explaining their faith just days before Passover. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did! 

If you have questions or have a topic for us talk about, feel free to email us at [email protected] 

Adam, Ryan, and Brian got together to record a good Ol'podcast from our homes! For this episode, you can also watch us on youtube! Watch it Here! https://youtu.be/VWiaBPqemug

We missed Dave but totally understand that not everyone can just be on podcasts all day long. In the meantime, enjoy our ramblings about life and know that we wish you well! We will be back for another show very soon!

While we missed Adam, we are so honored that Dave brought his childhood friend Jim onto our podcast. Brian openly admits that this podcast was one of the funniest moments of his life! We fully recognize that no one else might enjoy this podcast as much as we did, but we are grateful for Jim for sharing his story.

11 months ago, Allison Tupek won the top prize for the OSLC Youth Auction, she won a mug and a chance to come on our podcast. In the TacoBoutGod fashion, we made her wait months to even hear from us, but we finally fulfilled her dream of being on the greatest podcast ever in the history of podcasts that talk about Faith and food.
