Look the situation on Ukraine is changing rapidly - too fast for us to do anything about in a podcast. That being said - there are things that are going on (overall big strategy things) that we can think about and learn about from the situation.

This week we continue to look at the lies that Christians believe. Some of these lies include the thought that once you become a Christian, life has become perfect and also that God never gives you more than you can handle (while this may be true in spiritual truths - not necessarily in things happening physically to a person). What else do we as Christians believe that may not be true? Use Your W...

This week Paul and Aaron talk about the lies that Christians believe - dealing with four of the lies that tend to be very common in the Christian circles. This week we cover two of them. We start off talking about the prosperity gospel and how it is like the lottery - a tax on the poor. Tangent: do you know how much more likely you are to get killed by a shark than to win the lottery? After this w...

This week Aaron had a question - do we tolerate too much stuff going on in society or not enough? We take a look at some of this and ultimate come to the same conclusion - but what is that?

2022 has gotten off to a wild start. Joe Biden talking disrespectfully to a journalist, Spotify is under fire to put more pressure on Joe Rogan over what some deem to be misinformation. There is a convoy up in Canada being joined in by others in other countries, and we haven't even started fully into 2022. What a year we have coming up!

And we continue our conversation on living in the grey. In this second part of our conversation, we focus heavily on the morality of the actions we take and are the results or the intention behind the actions the thing that makes the something good or bad?

Paul had a question for Aaron today - can you live in the grey - or as some people put it - in the middle. When things are ambiguous morally or ethically what do you do and how do you live with it and how comfortable can you be with/in it? We start the conversation this week and will continue it next week. Use Your Words podcast is passion project of two people from Southeastern Wisconsin. Please...

This week Josh returns - from a super secret remote quarantine location due to him being exposed to Covid. We called him up as myself and Aaron were talking about the recent Jack Murphy controversy in the conservative circle. While we were talking about this we started talking about what it means to be a man in 2022 in the United States. As a quick refresher - Josh is the only one of the three of...

Well 2022 always gets off to an interesting start for us. Aaron got Covid right before the new year, and then made a trip to PA after he finished getting out of quarantine. Paul - thankfully - didn't catch the coof and just had a boring start to the year. That being said - the two re-connect after having not seen each other for about a month and get started on their discussions to 2022. Use Your W...

This week Aaron started with a question - something that I think every Christian has had at one point or another. So this week we discuss something - and that is do we (as Christians) want Non-Christians to be happy or saved? Hint: or maybe it's another question?

This week we decided to do something fun since we are between holidays - this week Paul and Aaron took Enneagram tests not only for themselves but for each other as well. Why did we do it? Just for fun as well as to lean a little about each other and ourselves. So what are the results of this? Well at one point you will hear "I'm Aaron and I'm a ....."

Allright, lets be upfront here. Regardless of if you think Kyle should've gotten acquitted or not - lots of people have opinions on what was happening with this trial. Unfortunately - there are a lot of people that have been spreading false information still after the trial. Let's talk about some of the outrageous claims, as well as outright lies being perpetuated still to this day. Use Your Words...

The past two years have been - to put it mildly - a little bit on the crazy side. And during all of this craziness we all of a sudden have Thanksgiving coming up on us. So with Thanksgiving coming up - we decided to relax a little and talk about some of our Thanksgiving traditions, some weird facts about Thanksgiving, and of course (being traditional like everyone else) we talk about we are gratef...

When it comes to what is available on the internet - it seems to be getting more and more crude by the minute at times. With all the things vying for our attention and seemingly coming at us from all angles trying to sell things - it is more important then ever to find a way to avoid temptation. Being a single guy, this is sometimes a huge undertaking. So what can we do to resist all the sexual it...

Have you ever felt that you were not worthy of the praise you deserve - be it at work or in your personal life? How often do you feel like you should just say "oh it's no big deal" when you just finished some major project and received praise from a manager/supervisor/etc. How often have you felt like you were not deserving of that promotion/opportunity/etc? Well you might be part of the majority...

November is known by many things. The month of Christmas music being played early, Turkey, Ham, family gatherings, and No Shave November. It is also the month of Movember - a movement started in the early 2000's in Australia to raise funds for men's health issues - Mental Health, Prostate Cancer, and Testicular Cancer. These are three very important items to be aware of for men - as these are item...

We often hear people complain that they don't have enough free time in their lives, and for the most part (if the Department of Labor Statistics is to believed) that is true. Out of the 8760 hours per year, we only have 1401 hours to ourselves (that translates to ~59 days) once all our commitments (sleep, work, commuting, chores, taking care of family, working out) are met for the year. Thats two...

This week we continue our conversation on Fear and talk about what it means to fear God and if we should have this continually or not. What does it mean to fear God - and does it mean the same thing as fearing other things? And why is the fear of God actually healthy compared to last weeks version of fear. Use Your Words podcast is passion project of two people from Southeastern Wisconsin. Please...

In this episode, we talk about fear - and Aaron starts with the assessment that living with Fear is a healthy thing. We talk about the physical responses the body has when you are under constant stress, the impact of the stress hormones has both short and long term. This then gets Paul talking about how he has gotten fed up with some in the church that say the only way to get better with mental he...

The Covid virus has shown how fragile the entire supply chain system is. We have seen a rise in times to get everything from basic supplies to furniture. We have shortages in multiple resources - sand, petroleum, truckers, chicken and more - which is causing issues around the globe. Yet in the United States we still have it better then most of the world. Even though inflation is causing issues, we...

With technology advancing the way it is - we have a conversation about how technology is changing how we live. While most people have been used to carrying around their drivers license/insurance cards this may be a thing of the past as these slowly go digital. We have a conversation as well if Star Trek is a valid vision of the future or if humans are generally lazy when things are taken care of u...

A few days ago was the 20th anniversary of the September 11th attacks of 2001. I (Paul) was in college as a freshmen and Aaron was in kindergarten when the attacks happened. We talk about what we remember from that day, what Aaron learned in middle and high school after the attacks, as well as we listen to a few recordings from that day.

When all you do is the same thing over and over again - that is a symptom of a stagnant culture. With culture at large continually re-releasing the same thing (movies/music/games/etc) we are on the verge of being in that same stagnant pattern. This week Paul and Aaron talks about the issues with being in a stagnant culture and what does and doesn't count toward a stagnant culture. Use Your Words p...
