Hi friends! Today’s episode is really special because, unknowingly, we were recording our last podcast episode ever in Jensen’s in laws’ house before it burned down in the Palisades fire. At the time of recording, we were feeling very lighthearted, bubbly, and optimistic for the new year. We even discussed how we had not been podcasting lately because things were finally feeling calm in the world again… well look how quickly that changed! This episode serves as a reminder of the ebbs and flows of life. The unpredictable rollercoaster ride is what makes life exciting, beautiful, tragic, and breathtaking all at the same time. Make sure to check out the episode right after this one to hear our unfiltered thoughts on the fires.

In this episode, we discuss our excitement for the future and what we want to embrace and let go of as we enter 2025. We talk about the collective shift in America post-election and the massive psychological transition now that it’s over. We also have a conversation about the sin of gluttony, which is not often a focus in modern churches yet is an issue so prevalent in American culture. We discuss the harms of overconsumption culture in America and the spiritual discipline that is required to rise above this pattern. Finally, we discuss the downfall of California, how hard it is to live there, and the toxic culture. This episode has a lot of fun, lighthearted moments and jokes sprinkled in and was super fun to record so we just hope you guys enjoy it as much as we did!!
