What Are We Even Doing Here?

On this episode our daughter Eleanor (aka Roo) puts Karen and I on the hot seat asking us about our walk with Jesus and how we even got there.  We also talk about Karen making a Twitter account.

PS Points for whoever knows what movie Karen quotes when answering the last question from Roo.

We thought of things we forgot to talk about on the last two episodes.  Hopefully we cover as much as we can.  We are always ready to take any questions you have.

On this episode we discuss the process we went through to get certified as foster parents.  We also answer some listener questions that we received from Twitter.  If you have more questions about our experience please contact us on Twitter or Facebook.

On this episode we discuss the final adoption of our son.  This is part 1 of two episodes.  Please help us and ask any questions you have about fostering and adoption.  Follow on twitter @whatareweevend1 or @DarylUpdike Thank you!

On this episode we discuss how we do family worship and why.  A special guest joins us to give us her perspective.  Below we have listed some resources that have helped us.  We hope you are encouraged and enjoy this episode.

We are back once again. Karen and I discuss schooling at home and homeschool.  Is there a difference?  Why do we homeschool? We hope this is the first of many episodes to come.  Thanks for listening and please share and interact with us.

Thank you!

On this episode I was honored to interview a cohost of one of my favorite podcasts Revived Thoughts.  Troy is very encouraging in his passion for truth and to serve the Lord.  He and his partner Joel take old sermons that have never been recorded and have them narrated.  They also give a history of the pastor who preached them originally as well as a history of what was going on at that time.  When you listen it is not just like someone is reading a stiff paper.  The narrators read as if they are preaching.  In fact many of them are preachers.  The sermons themselves are still relevant today.  If you didn't know they were from pastors as far back as hundreds of years ago you'd think they were preached last Lord's day.

We hope this interview blesses and encourages you.  It was an honor to interview Troy and hope to get him on again.  Make sure you check out Revived Thoughts in the Christian Podcast Community or wherever podcasts can be found.

It has been a while since we last had an episode.  Karen suggested we record this special episode with our daughters and talk about how the quarantine has been going.  We discuss having school at home and Lord's day worship.  We pray this episode will encourage and bless you.

On this episode we talk about worship.  Does God say how he is to be worshipped or can we worship Him however we want?  After coming back from the G3 conference a few weeks ago this has still been on our minds.  I ask Karen and Roo some questions about worship and we have a fun time discussing this as well as some other theological topics.  We hope this conversation encourages you to think about these important matters.

After taking a few months off we are back.  A lot has happened since our last episode back in September, but we are back and have plans to continue.  In one of our last shows we talked about having a new foster child in our home.  We have been adjusting to life going from one to three kids in one year.  We hope to keep providing good Christian content as a husband and wife, and sometimes kids.  But sometimes life may get in the way.  It is all a blessing.  We will just keep seeking the kingdom of God and finding what we are even doing here.
