Halloween: How should Christians respond? | S2 - Ep.8
11/05/21 • 62 min
Before people get too committed to arguing on social media about the holidays, specifically Halloween in this episode, let's look at the history. Typically, a lot of people look at holidays culturally, but not historically---usually absent of a Biblical view. There is no decision or activity that has NO effect on our souls, whether we feel it or not. This is not a place to get on any particular high horse, but my goal here is to get us thinking about our effectiveness. We can be right but be wrong at the same time. Something we cannot do is pick a soapbox and not apply it across the board. Tyler really wants to have a Hallelujah Night, Josh talks about pretending they weren't home as a kid, and I get a little passionate about Jesus's authority. Next episode, we will talk about Advent, so stay tuned.

S2 - Ep.7 | Leadership in the Home
There has been much controversy over who is the leader in the home, but that is not what we are tackling today. How to we submit to one another in the fear of the Lord as husband and wife? I talk a lot about how I need to do better at submitting to Hannah. Then Josh talks about how he said to Audrie, early in their marriage, that he was the husband and he was in charge---🤦♂️. Tyler still needs to read the book I recommended. I may ask him every episode, we'll see.
We end this episode reminding our beautiful wives that we love them very much.

How Advent Saved Christmas | S2 - Ep.9
In this episode, we talk about our focus during the holiday season. We are about to begin the Advent season and there is so much that is trying to compete for our attention, but without intentional focus, we allow our attention to drift where advertisers want instead of where the Word wants. Christmas in our culture has largely become all about busyness, consumerism, and distraction. However, we can choose to slow down, pay attention, and reflect on the beauty and mystery of the Incarnation during this time. It's time for Advent to save Christmas.
It's funny that Josh asked us at the beginning about expectations and disappointments because Advent is a season of expectancy, but Jesus never disappoints.
And poor Tyler talks about his sweet prayer as a child wanting to stay just ONE MORE DAY at Disney World. Well, he got to stay one more day... 😳
