Wrestling With The Angels

What is disappointment? Why do we experience it? What is at the heart of this experience? Clint and I openly discuss these questions from our own perspective. Hope it’s helpful.

Angie and I discuss what bearing burdens looks like from our experience. What exactly is that? When / why do I struggle with doing it? Who does it best?

I’m sure we’ve all heard the expression, “It’s ok not to be ok.” Today we are riffing on that topic. What’s it mean to not be ok? How have we dealt with others and ourselves who haven’t been “ok”?

This is a topic that sadly everyone is forced to deal with. It seems in the last year or so we have all been inundated with the reality of death. That is especially true more recently for Clint and I. How do we deal with such a heavy topic? Wrestling through it with a friend is always a good place to start.

Doubt is something everyone struggles with to varying degrees. We talk about our own personal experiences with it, and what has helped us in seasons of doubt. Is there hope for those who doubt? We think so.

Clint and I are finally back in studio together! This week we have another guest on to talk about our personal experiences with Christ. It’s interesting the different ways we talk about Him yet it’s the same fundamental experience.

This week Clint talks with Pastor Dave about what it looks like to reach the modern family. They talk about the necessity to include people that come from different perspectives and the importance of listening and meeting needs. I am thankful to have someone with Dave’s heart and mind as my pastor.

We talk about friendship on the podcast today. We ask the question, “Is friendship important, and what makes a good friend?” I loud cap a really sweet statement from Clint. Where we end up is talking about how a diverse friend group causes us to grow.

Today I have a conversation with my friend Sam. We attended the same church in 2018, lost touch with one another, and recently reconnected over chess. He is a recent convert to Roman Catholicism and I found his shift in theology fascinating. What causes some to be open to new ideas and changed by them? Do we maintain that openness? I’m not sure we answer those questions, but they are at the heart of this episode.

Purity culture and our experience with it. Tune in to hear about my “non-sexy earth tone” passion for purity shirt. Where we end up is that any time behavioral aspects of our faith are emphasized the point is missed. We have some laughs along the way. Hope you enjoy.
