057 - The Cost of Cynicism
It’s easy to get cynical—about people, the church, even God. In this episode, we talk honestly about where that cynicism comes from and how it shows up in our lives. But we also explore how to keep our hearts soft, hold on to hope, and move toward something better.Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Children's Creativity StudyPhilip's Blog Post: ShameAll The Buried Women PodcastBecoming the Pastor's Wife by Beth Allison BarrSurprised by Hope by NT Wright

056 - Protest or Political Stunt?
Is there a difference between a political stunt and a true protest? We think there is, and that becomes a really big deal when you involve the name of Jesus.Resources mentioned in this episode:- Seattle Protest- Rotunda Prayer- Jesus and John Wayne by Kristen Kobez Du Mez- Jesus and the Powers by N.T.

055 - Tradition, Hypocrisy, and Other Things
Another fan-submitted episode!We were asked, "What's the difference between pursuing tradition, religion, and God? Is there one?" We felt like this is a question that we've wrestled through and many other Christians have wrestled through. This episode hopes to show that there is a tension to be managed and there is a proper way to manage that tension.Resources mentioned in this episode: -The Great Omission by Dallas Willard-Bible Project Podcast: https://bibleproject.com/podcast/what-hypocrite-means-jesus/-Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus: https://youtu.be/1IAhDGYlpqY?si=WkXgQchqQOLQSbBb
