Meaningful Conversations With Delicious Beverages
This week, Brandon shares some new thoughts on Exodus with AJ. What if we read the Exodus, and maybe the rest of the Bible as well, as being about God's people, Israel and the Church, instead of from the lens of the "main characters" like Moses?
This week, AJ and Brandon build out from the idea of ought into obligations. So often, we think of obligations as limitations and restrictions. Is it possible, though, that our obligations could actually serve to make us more free?
This week, Brandon and AJ continue talking about how our understanding of the nature of creation shapes the nature of our calling, using the Lord of the Rings as a framework and setting.
This week, Brandon and AJ discuss the role of God(Iluvatar) in Tolkien's Middle Earth, specifically in creation and the daily lives of the characters. What can we learn, reflect on, or incorporate into our own lives, world, and relationship with the Almighty? Is creation a completed work already that we are watching play out? Or is it an ongoing process?
This week, Brandon and AJ talk about the concept of family as an idol. The conversation quickly branches into a discussion of how we lead children when they realize we aren't perfect.
This week, Brandon talks to AJ about a book he's been listening to that encourages us to adopt some practices from the Rule of St. Benedict for monastic life into our modern, secular lives.
This Easter, Brandon talks to AJ about reflecting a bit on the interactions between Jesus, Pontius Pilate, and the Chief Priest. What do the earthly leaders reveal about themselves in their interactions with the Christ?
