March 12, 2020036 - Breaking the Mental Health Stigma w/ Jess St. Petery
Thinking Out Loud is a place to digest audibly the things we tend to think through silently. We'll look at a variety of complex issues from a variety of points of view, not necessarily to get to "right answers" but to build empathy and perspective.
Jess and I discuss the progress made in breaking the stigmas surrounding mental health and what can still be done. Jess also shares much of her journey as it relates to her mental health. Both Jess and I have benefited greatly from therapy. If you have felt like you need to take that step, but haven't yet, may this be the final push you need.

February 11, 2020 Love Over Fear w/ Dan White Jr (full episode)
Patreon Page // Buy Thinking Out Loud Products
Thinking Out Loud is a place to digest audibly the things we tend to think through silently. We'll look at a variety of complex issues from a variety of points of view, not necessarily to get to "right answers" but to build empathy and perspective.
This is an interview I had with Dan White Jr over the summer. You may have heard an abbreviated version then, but this is the full-length version that was originally saved for our Patreon members. In light of the recent events at the National Prayer Breakfast and our 2020 presidential election ramping up, I thought revisiting this conversation was important. Dan is the author of Love Over Fear: Facing Monsters, Befriending Enemies, and Healing Our Polarized World. You can purchase the book and check out other materials related to the book at LoveOverFearProject.com.

It's just me today. I recently went and saw Just Mercy, the story of Bryan Stevenson and the Equal Justice Initiative. It was awesome! So I talk a little bit about the movie, the death penalty, and then I get into why I have grown to hold a view of nonviolence. It's not something I have always held to, but it is something I hold to now. I would go so far as to say it's obvious to me now. But there is certainly grace for those who disagree. Give a listen and tell me why I'm wrong! We'll fight about it.

December 09, 2019032 - Sex Was God's Idea w/ Jason Soucinek
Patreon Page // Buy Thinking Out Loud Products
Thinking Out Loud is a place to digest audibly the things we tend to think through silently. We'll look at a variety of complex issues from a variety of points of view, not necessarily to get to "right answers" but to build empathy and perspective.
Jason Soucinek, Executive Director and Founder of Project 619, joins me to discuss our current sexual culture and what God's word has to say about it. Christians are often louder on what they are against than what they are for, but a biblical sexual ethic has a lot of positive things about sex and sexuality. Jason and Project 619 are seeking to lead the conversation with that. Sex, after all, was God's idea. Listen to hear how we can work to change the narrative and lead people to a life or relationship that is ultimately life-giving.

I'm joined by John Galante (Hell of a Conversation, Avengers:Endgame) to discuss the book of Hebrews. That's right, we believe it is the most underrated book of the NT and we are here to tell you why. Also...what do we do with that pesky Old Testament and all those rules? Well, I think the author of Hebrews has some opinions on that. So if you don't like our conclusions, go read Hebrews for yourself. You are welcomed to disagree, but the OT definitely gets dragged in Hebrews.

This is recording of a message I gave at Hope Christian Fellowship. It is also, in some ways, a follow up to the previous podcast episode. I feel like I'm being led into weakness in multiple areas of my life. That is an uncomfortable feeling, but I think it's right where God wants all of us.

There will be tears. Maybe only mine, but tears nonetheless. Leah said it would be a good idea to record a conversation with me on fatherhood. It was therapeutic for me and hopefully there is something in here for you.
