In this week's episode, AJ's students and his own approaching wedding have him asking Brandon, the marriage veteran, for his insights into marriage and being the bride of Christ.

As Brandon moves his reading into Hebrews, he came across a statement about the unbelief of the Israelites with Moses. This week, he and AJ discuss how it's possible that those who saw the ten plagues could fail to believe in the God who sent them.

This week, AJ and Brandon talk about what it means to do their lives with God. How do we cooperate with God when He doesn't need our help?

This week, AJ and Brandon discuss how to play the game they began talking about last week. If all God wants from is our presence, why are there things we must do?

Building on last week's conversation, AJ and Brandon talk about how and why Christians can avoid becoming overly insular in their practice of the faith.

This week, Brandon brings an observation from his reading of Isaiah to discuss with AJ. Isaiah makes it clear that the Messiah will be for all people, and yet the Jewish people aren't known for evangelizing. Why is that?

This week, Brandon brings a couple examples of celebrities who found their way to Christ after experiences with psychedelic drugs. He and AJ discuss why this pattern seems to be developing and, obviously, why it isn't a recommended path to conversion.

Brandon and AJ go back a couple weeks to their discussion about the nature of Christ to focus on whether Christ has really experienced all that we have. How does our sinfulness and His sinlessness intersect?

In this week's episode, Brandon is inspired by his reading of St. Athanasius to look at one of the questions posed to about the possibility of change in Christ as opposed to the change(fall) of Satan. He and AJ spend some time comparing the three natures of God, angels, and humans to see why this question is important and see how the question affects our own relationships with God.

In this week's episode, as AJ prepares to move again, Brandon is curious about the impacts AJ has noticed in his moves and how living in different places could broaden his daughters' experiences.

This week, Brandon follows up with AJ about some of AJ's difficulties with St. Paul and others. How can we acknowledge not being drawn to, or even disagreeing with, certain Saints without dismissing them?

This week, Brandon asks why it is so hard to keep commitments to ourselves than it is to keep the ones we make to others. This definitely applies to prayer, but so many other things as well.

With Brandon out of commission, AJ does a little thinking out loud about how he sometimes struggles to incorporate the teachings of the Saints into his own life.

AJ and Brandon build on last week's discussion about the soul's location by diving a little bit deeper into what the soul is. What do we mean by animating principle?
