In the episode the crew is wrestling with a concept that would end up leading to the subtitle of the Brave Cities book. Like all of these episode, they are grey pages because in them we are actively exploring the ideas rather than just reporting on some finding. This episode explicitly uses the image of a beaker that we are putting different ingredients into as an experiment and it serves as a good reminder for all of us that this is the intended posture of each and every one of these conversations.

This is an audio only episode. Jon and Hugh decided to take the opportunity while Hugh was in Tampa waiting on a flight to capture a bit of the Halter Story. Enjoy!

This episode is a great introduction to our brother Joel Repic and his work with a Kingdom ecosystem in Aliquippa, PA. In this conversation the crew digs into the artistic calling of the apostle and the temptation (and mistake) that it is to turn music into math.

In this episode Taylor and Jon wrestle with the realities of the principalities and powers

The episode begins with Jon saying he got a text from Taylor saying 'We shouldn't try to build the kingdom of God.' Hugh immediately replies 'It'll save us a lot of time if he's right.' This conversation explores the common misconception that the Kingdom of God is something we build. While we might not be able to build the kingdom, the crew discerns, we still have to build.

In episode 2 the crew talked about the inklings that began their journey. At some point Jon told a story about an encounter that began a 'haunting' in him. Hugh suggested that they circle back and record another conversation on hauntings that have a hold of us and keep us in the game. This episode was recorded much later and makes a few references to unreleased conversations that are scheduled to come out soon. This podcast is mostly being released in the order it was recorded but the team felt that this one should cut the line so it wasn't too far from the inklings episode. enjoy!
