In this episode we talk about sound and wise advice for a happy marriage. This podcast is not only intended for us, as a soon-to-be-wed couple, but for all couples married or otherwise for application through day to day life. We also have a very special guest on the show today. None other than SEAN ASTIN (The Goonies, The Lord of the Rings, 50 First Dates) who offers his own marriage advice, as well as what Samwise Gamgee (the beloved hobbit character from the Lord of the Rings) would tell a newly wed couple. We were so excited to be able to meet with him! Enjoy!

In this episode, we talk about our love for J.R.R. Tolkien, Middle Earth, and the books that colored our childhood and how they are filled with tons of Christian allegory and references. His themes and characters touch on the nature of Christ, the nature of man, our calling through Jesus, our life in the constant struggle of life and death, sin and redemption, and reconciliation with God through the "Return of the King". We finish up by telling how we are incorporating such themes inspired by Tolkien into our wedding and why.

In this episode, we talk about dragons!...or is it dinosaurs? Well, in any case, we bring you interesting information about the origin of the names "dragon" and "dinosaur", historical accounts of them seen in the wild, legends of sightings in the modern day, depictions of them in artwork and architecture, and what it would mean if paleontological/geological/biological evidence prove that these amazing creatures were not as ancient as we once thought.

In this episode, we talk about the history of giants in the earth, beginning with Genesis 6 in the Bible, the Book of Enoch, and historical accounts such as Flavius Josephus.

We also talk about the seed of the serpent and conspiracy theories surrounding the governments and black projects around the world collecting giant DNA and experimenting with creating super-humans, in an attempt to transcend the boundaries of humanity.

Later, we talk about modern day accounts of giants and both living remains and archaeological remains, and what happened to them, culminating in the discussion of the idea that both the Smithsonian Institute and the Vatican are hiding them, hoarding them, or destroying them, or all of the above.

In this podcast, Kimberly and I talk about our daily routines of prayer and scriptural study and how devotionals have helped us to form a healthy spiritual lifestyle that gives us a pause through the hustle and bustle of the day to quiet down and reflect on God and how his Word can be applied to our lives.

We also talk about 3 devotionals and 2 books that I've found interesting and unique.
