It has happened! Today, we talk out the details of what occurred in our recent baby delivery. Hurtles were faced and this event beckoned us to dig deep. But did we have enough? Where would that extra help come from? Enjoy the fun and laughs as we discuss this while feeding baby Ignatius!

What is the picture perfect life, the thing that signals, “this is it”? From where does this desire to get after it, be it, live it, and reach the ultimate come? We explore what it must be like to obtain the pinnacle of our wants, and, perhaps, what may be false about it. So many things to consider based on personalities, experiences, and goals. We consider where God and His goodness stack up in all this; the kingdom of God now and not out in Heaven only. Jump in the discussion and enjoy!

39 weeks pregnant! Am I happy? Melissa provides the details from the journey of late as we enter the “labor crusade”. We talk about being happy where one is at. What if we lose something we always depended on for our happiness such as our legs, a friend, or activity? Is it over for us or is life wired to have peace and joy in changing circumstances? What would God say about it? Finally, Melissa shares her final thoughts as she looks upon parenthood.

Do you have the human gift of giving or lack thereof?! What kind of gifter are you? Some seem to thrive in this area. Others feel pinched or disinterested? Brian and Melissa humorously discover they seem to fall short. 😂 Is something wrong with our spiritual mindset if that is the case? So much to discuss (through laughter) given the varying ways people give.

Melissa leads us into a story that makes us wonder what if we asked? Recorded from the back of a 50 Chevy during sunset, we ask what would happen if everyone could and did discern God's will. Would we then live in a peaceful world? This ep also covers a personal roommate disagreement story, the current War, and the impact we all face in our daily uncertainties, disagreements, and decisions. Enjoy!

Do you ever want to get into a bar fight, a slug fest, or anything of the nature? Is there something good to a couple folks agreeing to duke it out? Just getting some angst out? Or is it impossible to do such things without a sin of some sort? Is it ok to laugh at a bar fight scene in a movie? Why do children play in games where collisions are found; what draws them to it? Brian’s itching to “drop the gloves” and he doesn’t know why. Many laughs as Melissa tries to dissect what is going on here!

Brian confesses to watching a certain TV series that some may question for a young to mid-aged man. Is there value in what we watch? Many of us watch the Hallmark Channel which has become quite popular but what are we getting from it? Join us in a hearty discussion with many laughs and things to consider in these movies/episodes.

A difficult thing it is to imagine a God that would not want us to succeed in areas. Is this true? What else may contribute to our success or failure to achieve? This discussion gets deep as we consider what God’s will may be. We question whether our wills have been aligned to His vision in prayer and what happens if or if not. This is truly the meat of life, our “dreams” and the fulfillment or failure to reach them.

We respond to an episode by a Youtuber, named TechLead, who we have been enjoying lately as he covers life moves, investing, and many other interesting topics. He is a self-made millionaire who in recent episode, talks about how he is bored discussing money along with other things. This is coming from a person that discusses money in many of his episodes. He is an intriguing entertainer that gives us a laugh and much to consider. We take to discussing whether happiness is found more often in the grind of life since we are a part of something or at the point of simply being “there” which may represent retirement, the beach, or being a millionaire. Could there be an ex-factor for happiness for both parties and what does our faith life have to do with it? Let us know what you think!
Here is the ep from TechLead we discuss : https://youtu.be/F1kQmeIsCVs

We have seen a strong movement to live the simpler life in times. Everyday another video is blowing up about how a person lives in a cabin, tiny home, or on a boat away from normal congested society. Well, this episode is another recorded from us while we are staying at a remote cabin. We lay out the floorplan and discuss whether one could truly move away from regular suburbia. Would it work with one person, spouses, and/or kids? Join us in many laughs as we look for a way to make it work.

Want to get away? We find ourselves constantly looking for escape. Today, we record this episode from a cabin near the Mississippi River. We discuss why we feel that constant need for a vacation or yet another weekend to come as soon as possible. We consider how we might find satisfaction right at home to help prevent the sad reality for many of us that we often work more than play in this life. What can our faith and the witness of the saints shows us in this reality? Tune in for some classic questions and laughs.

Do you ever wonder if you’ve accomplished anything with your life? Today, we take ourselves lightly and honestly reflect on whether we are good at anything or if we have done anything worthwhile. Is it worth doing things if we do them badly? Can you relate? We conclude that humility is the key to answeing these questions of self doubt. We realize that acknowledging our creature status prepares us for better prayer and understanding what is valuable. We're sure you will walk away with a litte tip on how to deal with these age old questions. Thanks for joining us!

Has the back-to-the-flip-phone movement begun? Brian shares his hilarious experiences of different phases of phone types and even no phone at all. We turn to consider when must a person reply to a text in the modern era. When does a delayed reply become rude?! Further, have the use of pictures today devalued a photo as they once were? Do we need someone to see our picture to validate our experience in the modern era? Join us in laughs and ponderings as we consider these things in light of our faith life.

How much was that coffee?! Is there something we need to splurge on every now and then? Will we feel financially free if we budget, or will factors like record inflation make us feel strapped financially regardless? When we have it all on earth, will we still need? Today, we discuss such questions. We consider what we can do in light of the high prices and how to discern what is worth spending for. We look to see how our faith impacts our approach to saving and spending while seeing what others are doing. Join us in these common day-to-day financial wonders!

Melissa has taken to Hamlet. Brian asks what is she really looking for in reading it. We discuss what our brains or emotions are really after. We question gossiping as we consider others around us and even President Putin based on recent events. How should a Christian handle such issues? Is there a virtue to rescue us from many of our daily temptations surrounded around talking about others? Weaving from Shakespeare we suspect many may relate to and enjoy the laughs and ponderings in this show as they apply to our day-to-day lives!

We seem to dream often. Once we reach our dreams, can we also escape our struggles? Will our dreams reached, ever go just as we had hoped? Can we have such and such while not experiencing any more of the grind that it took to get there? Or are there new surprise awaiting and,if so, how do we embrace them? These are questions we look to address. We pull a line from Thomas a Kempis' book The Imitation of Christ speaks on the idea of escaping our crosses. This is some of the meat and potatoes of true life on earth! Let us know what you think in the comments below.

The COVID craze has continued and tests men and women in their daily life. Is the drive for money contributing to some of the mixed opinions on the virus? We discuss Joe Rogan's latest podcast that highlights some of the conflicting news. We then consider our local level of how the virus can be used for gain by folks we run into everyday. Lastly, we address does Jesus have omnicron by considering what He would do if He did have the virus. How should any decent person, let alone Christian live out their call in these uncertain times? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments! Enjoy :)
