Happy "National Pie for Breakfast Day." Or as most people call it... the day after Thanksgiving!

How is your soul doing this morning?

Maybe you woke up a little cringe? Maybe you’re wondering "Why did I bring that up?" "Why was I so awkward?" 

Psychologist Brené Brown calls this a "Vulnerability Hangover." That regret we feel after we’ve been seen, or after we’ve tried to connect with family and it felt messy. 

We often mistake this emotional exhaustion for spiritual failure. We think because we feel bad today, we must be bad!

Today the Signpost Inn gang is is going to help you with that hangover with a little theology… and a slice of pie.

On this special Halloween episode, hosts Liv and Brandon ask why creating AI avatars of the dead seems so alluring. What does it say about our deepest soul questions and longing for the permanent approval of the dead? And what does God have to say about all of this? Liv and Brandon wrap it up with lots of hope as we talk about the real promise of resurrection life in Christ that we celebrate on All Saints Day.

What do you do when you know you need to make things right with someone, but you have no idea where to start?

We've all been there - stuck in a conflict where we know something needs to happen, but we're paralyzed. Maybe you're the one who got hurt and people keep telling you to "just forgive," but you don't even know what that means. Or maybe you're the one who messed up and you want to apologize, but you're terrified of making it worse. You're caught between wanting peace and not knowing how to get there without either pretending everything's fine or making yourself a doormat.

Last episode we talked about what to do when someone you love won't talk to you. But what about when they WILL talk – and now you have to figure out what to actually say?

In our polarized world, we're facing an epidemic of relational silence. Maybe it's your child who's pulled away. Your spouse who's emotionally checked out. A friend who's gone cold after a disagreement. A sister who won't return your calls. The silence is deafening, and it hits us at the deepest level because we're wired for connection. When those we love most won't engage, we long for restoration, and it makes us feel worthless, unlovable, and much much more.

Join Brandon, Liv, and Matt for an emotional and powerful exploration of loneliness and finding connection in Christ.

This week the Signpost Inn Podcast goes off the trail and into the uncharted wilderness with an unscripted and unfiltered episode! We're missing Matt, saying “goodby” to Peter, and wrangling technology… but then the conversation took “a leap” into the deep end and we talked about how our souls’ have a longing for adventure — real risk — and how God doesn’t only provide security and comfort but also calls us to take real risks and real responsibility. 

Join us as we toss out the script, and the BS, and get real about our fears and faith.

Do you wake up in the morning with the vague sense that you’re already falling behind? 

In today’s episode, the group talks about how each of us have deep questions of the soul that we need God to answer or else we’ll spend our lives demanding answers from everyone and everything else. Questions like, “Am I capable?” “Am I enough?” and especially, “Am I lovable?” We are often completely unaware of these soul questions, but they subconsciously drive most everything we do. To top it all off, we’re often terrified of bringing these questions to God, the only one who can truly answer them! So tune in for our conversation as we compassionately unpack this dilemma and explore answers from Henri Nouwen’s book, The Return of the Prodigal Son. 

We pray this episode changes the way you understand how God relates to you :)

Have you ever felt childish for believing in beauty — in meaning — in Jesus? Like, the really “grown up” way to think is that faith is a cutesy, meaningless fairytale?

If so, we want you to know you’re not alone! Also, you’re not naive, you’re just remembering home. In this conversation we talk about The Chronicles of Narnia and how they teach us childlike faith in goodness, truth, and beauty. We share our experiences with Narnia and some of our favorite passages too. Come along for the ride and learn to let God be God and watch his story unfold around you.

Has a book ever jumped off the shelf, interrupted your life and left you forever changed? 

On today’s show the gang shares the books that have ambushed them and left them with a new view of life, themselves and God. These books have opened our eyes to beauty, truth, and goodness and we’re eternally grateful! Be warned, Listener, after this episode you will walk away with a “dangerous” reading list of books that are waiting to disrupt your life for good!

We hope you enjoy today’s show. Jesus thinks you’re the bee’s knees (aka, he likes you)
