After a long day of birthday festivities, everyone is pretty distractable. John and Peaches are joined by the newly 10-year-old Cami, as well as the Podcast Ninja: Luke. How does our family handle bad moods and perceived injustices? (What are some weird things Tabby and Peaches have gotten mad about?) QUICK! Say the first word that pops into your head--no hesitation! Peaches is feeling sentimental and wants to thank all the But-People out there. (That's spelled with one 'T'.) And a listener proposes we go to war against Mickey Mouse's calendar.

Despite what you've been told, God isn't looking for a relationship with you. He already has that.

The difference between guilt and shame is not worth arguing about.

Nothing will ever make sense to you until you admit God exists.

There is only one proper response when someone tells you Jesus was a socialist.

Don't put too much emphasis on how you worship God.

The Peaches is having one of "those" homeschool days. Emmi (5-years-old) requires some discipline right off the bat.  A listener asks John whether he can trust his sense of humor considering humans are sinful creatures.  And we unpack the reasons we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously. This results in possibly the best analogy about our relationship with God that we've ever stumbled upon!

John and the Peaches have a lot to disagree about--including music theory and what it tastes like when you combine wheat thins with green grapes. Then, John reads an email from a listener/neighbor asking for his take on Christian Hedonism. (Is it a sin to enjoy things?) Meanwhile, the Peaches nearly ruptures her ear drums trying to fix her headphones. Next, a female neighbor wants to challenge the recommendation that everyone should "say true things," because it could lead to nagging and bitterness... Finally, John's Hill to Die On includes the charge to destigmatize stigma. What does that even mean, and will you join him?

My reason for not inviting people to church might scandalize you but I'm sticking with it anyway.

Baby Christians are wonderful members of God's family that shouldn't be teaching grown-ups.
