Welcome back T&J fam! Have you or someone you loved been scammed?! And why are older people always the targets? We seek to answer these questions on this week's episode. We also try to figure out what new technology or technique is going to scam us when we get to be older. And speaking of deceit, we discuss the devil and whether he is real or just a Biblical metaphor. Does the Bible speak of a real fallen angel that is literally causing problems, or is this just symbolism that helps us understand the collision of good and bad around us. Feel free to drop your opinions to the address below. Enjoy!

Welcome back T&J fam! (Sorry for the poor audio. We used the wrong mics to record.) This week we jump straight into the news about the pending moon landing. Besides stating the obvious - Did we really land there before? - we debate what might be found on the dark side of the moon. We also can't figure out if the moon spins or not. If you know the answer to any of this, shoot us a message at the address below. Then, we take a hard turn and dive into happiness. We look at how personal interpretations influence situations and how we can project our values onto other. We hope you enjoy!

Welcome back T&J family! Today we have a special treat - author Jeremy Jernigan. Jeremy was on our show last October, so we encourage you to listen to that episode for a full backstory on this week's podcast. Jeremy is releasing a new book - "The Edge of the Inside" - and we want to hear all about it! Jeremy opens up about shifts he is seeing in his own life, Christianity as a whole, and how Christ is there for those who find themselves on the edge of mainstream Christian thought. This is a great interview that comes from a fantastic book. Feel free to check out his website below and get a copy of the book while you are at it!

Welcome back T&J fam! This week we start out acknowledging the amount of dinosaur hate Marty has been receiving since last week's episode. We then transition to a discussion on Christian book names and how every pop Christian books seems to communicate the same message. This leads to a discussion on what the core principles are that all these authors are trying to highlight. Marty says that surrender is at the core of the Christian life, which Josh says that it is empowerment. We debate the two and try to better understand each other's perspective. Enjoy!

Welcome back T&J fam! This week we dive into the show with a debate about animals. We answer the question "what is the biggest animal you can beat in a fight?". Without fail the answers get a bit ridiculous and lead to a discussion on dinosaurs and aliens. We try to redeem the insanity by circling back to the recent discussion we had on God's sovereignty. Marty discusses how this has led to a series of thoughts about free will and how God's sovereignty interacts with humanity's agency. We also discuss the scope of free will and how it extends beyond humans and to the whole of creation. Feel free to send us your thoughts to the address below. Enjoy!

Welcome back T&J fam! This week we dive into the pod with a discussion on Marty's weird lid quirks. Some of you will try to diagnose him and some of you will completely understand. Josh is not one who understands, but does admit to walking into walls. This discussion evolves into a follow up on a Sopranos quote Josh recently referenced. We dive into the quote, what feelings it prompts, and if it has merit. This leads to a discussion on experiences, expectations, and how these things shape our lives. Enjoy!

Welcome back T&J fam! This week we dive into a fun discussion that Marty found on the web. We discuss crazy church stories we have see with our own eyes. Then, we look at what other people posted in response to the same questions. Crazy stuff! This transitions to a discussion on beliefs and how people disagree on what major and minor beliefs are. Josh highlights how freeing and faith affirming it is when we can let go of "absolutes" as we search for the truth, which leads to a discussion on how beliefs can paralyze us. We hope you enjoy. Feel free to drop us a question or comment at the address below!

Welcome back T&J fam! On this weeks episode, we start of with a fun counseling question about what seat placement means in the counseling session. We then discuss the trending topic of Nancy Guthrie and her disappearance. This transitions into the topic of God's sovereignty. We discuss what we were taught about God being in control, how this is hard to incorporate with the idea of free will, and how our views are shifting on the topic. Josh opens up about how he does not think God is in control like we think. Ultimately, it leads to us realizing that maybe God is in control, but probably not like we have been taught. Enjoy!

Welcome back T&J fam! This week we start off with a instant coffee review. And to be honest, this is the best instant coffee we have ever had. Shout out to Josh's brother for hooking us up! We discuss tongue twisters, the Olympics, and how AI is robbing the planet of water. This leads to a discussion on what motivates change. We look at how crisis is a key manipulation tool for the media and how it effectively creates action. Recognizing these patters also allows us to see how this is used in religion and with the concept of hell. Enjoy!

Welcome back T&J fam! This week we found some time between snow storms to dive into a discussion on life and core needs. We start out with some childhood stories about sledding and dangerous winter fun. Then, we discuss Josh's egocentric view of weather and how neither of us know how to write a sentence. Lastly, we dive into some recent thoughts about who we are in Christ. Are we special and unique or are we meant to disappear into the greater identity of Christ? We wrestle with the extremes of this thought and how living in America shapes are view. Josh highlights the deeper truths that come from these beliefs, which leads to a discussion on core needs that drive us all. Feel free to let us know your thoughts at the address below. Enjoy!
