Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place / 前門の虎後門の狼

For this episode's Latest Word, we're digging into the linguistics behind the phrase... you guessed it, "caught between a rock and a hard place."


Ty, one of the missionaries I served with in Japan, will be joining us soon but I introduce him in this episode along with some of the lessons I learned while serving with him. We also dive into some more of the cuisine I was introduced to while living in Izumo, and touch on other topics such as missionary fitness, mental health, and the art of the beverage run!
