Unseriously

It's a summer bonus episode with Elizabeth Woodson! Elizabeth is a Bible teacher, founder of The Woodson Institute, and host of the podcasts Starting Place and Culture Matters. Her latest study, Live Free, A Study of Galatians is out now.

On this episode we'll talk church potlucks, sneaker fashion, that big ole slide at Trail Dust and - of course - discipleship.

Wikipedia and my 9th grade history teacher would like to remind us all that the Battle of Hastings in 1066 resulted in the Norman conquest of England and the establishment of a new ruling dynasty--the same one that continues to this day.

And I'd like to remind us all that we can find Elizabeth on Instagram, but note that her handle has changed since we recorded this episode. She's no longer @missjazzyliz but @elizabethwoodson. You won't want to miss her theological moments on the IG.

Yep, she's just as funny as you'd hope she'd be.

Join Holly for some humor and heart with singer/songwriter Taylor Leonhardt of her eponymous solo career, her duo act with Jess Ray called Mission House, and her all-star girl band Paper Horses with Leslie Jordan, Sandra McCracken, and Jess Ray.

Taylor and Holly will discuss the proper spelling of unconventional roasted meats, Taylor's skill level at Bubble Spinner, and Mandy Moore's hair.

Adele and Usher will both get shout-outs. Leigh Nash...we see you following us down the produce aisle.

Oh yeah, there will also be lots of hope for the dark places.

Find Taylor online or on Instagram, Mission house on their Instagram, and the correct spelling of CABANA in the introductory pages of the spelling bee handbook.

Happy summer! It's a Summer Bonus episode of Unseriously!

Up today it's Chris Ammen, founder and publisher of Kaleidoscope Kids Bibles. In this episode Holly airs some last name beef, learns about the candy bomb, and hears a story about Chris crossing the line with The Law--as only a pastor could do. (Facepalm.)

You can find Kaleidoscope on Instagram, and Chris' new book, Raising Disciples at Home: Nurturing Your Kids Into Faithful Followers of Jesus, from Harvest House Publishers.

Holly has written two volumes for Kaleidoscope--Bright Star: The Story of Esther, also available on Yoto, and the latest, Kingdom Come: Ezra & Nehemiah.

Unseriously is back! And it's one for the ear buds, parents. In this PG episode it isn't so much the silliness that toed the line toward a PG rating, but more so it's grown-up talk about getting rid of "the talk," spoiling a picture book that your kids might like to experience for themselves, and processing one of our favorite Bible teacher's theological educational experiences. Four of season 2's fabulous guests will make an appearance: Mary Flo Ridley and Megan Michelson from Birds & Bees, Daniel Nayeri, and Amy Gannett of Tiny Theologians.

Hope you enjoy and will you tell a friend about Unseriously? When you spread the word it helps us book the guests you want to hear!

See you soon for summer bonus episodes!

Fun Police: looking for a Persian man. Talks with his hands. Doesn't leave the house without Newbery medal. Enemies include Subway. Goes by the alias, "The Humble Rumble."

Holly would like to take this opportunity to apologize to Jon Foreman and also clarify that she was far away from him... like... at least 30 yards. It should also be noted that Daniel's Jon Foreman story would be equally creepy were it to take place in the modern era.

Everything Sad Is Untrue is on the list of books Holly recommends to anyone, at any time. Also don't miss The Many Assassinations of Samir the Seller of Dreams, and look for The Teacher of Nomad Land, coming soon. You can follow Daniel Nayeri on Instagram, Holly Mackle also on Instagram, and Jon Foreman at the Colonial Williamsburg Merchant's Square.

Also, The Internet would like you to not put mustard on burns.
