We also tease a study on Biblical Masculinity, and the instincts of men that can often ensnare us in everyday life.

This week we discuss a bunch of odds and ends including going of summer hiatus. We will be back in September we promise.

This week the two introverts of the group take to the airwaves without Mike or Kris. Topics discussed include why people feel closer to God in nature, and having church in a farmer's field.

On our 52nd episode we realize that we start repeating ourselves from over the course of the year. Topics discussed include self defense, and looks at community and vulnerability within the church and how that is important for men.

On this episode, we forge ahead without a topic. It's the Seinfeld episode of The Average Joe podcast episodes, a podcast episode about nothing. Also, stay tuned for a bonus episode where Mike talks with the Guest of Honor at the Game dinner on March 15 that will be posted later this week.

The 3 Amigos cover a lot of ground in this one. We even came to the belief that ADHD is contagious. Enjoy trying to keep up with us!

The Joes talk this week about how to determine when to engage in debate and how to do so with grace. Mike gets a bit heated and Brad pushes him further into a righteous rage. The intro didn't record but the conversation is worth the listen.

The Guys forge on without Mike and Ryan for yet another week. this week, money talks.

Continuing our discussion of Nehemiah, we zoom in a bit more this week on what leadership looks like and if we are all called to be leaders. The drive to do something big often distracts us from doing the things God wants us to do.

The fellas discuss Nehemiah chapter 4 this week once they get the technical issues sorted out. Listen to the end and see if Brad can truly keep his prayer short.

This week we mention the Iowa Caucus, and dive into Nehemiah 4.
