The Bow Tie Guy invites Giselle as a guest once again. This week we look at the things we might do if we knew we were going to die. "Graves into Gardens" from Elevation Worship is the Song of the Week.

This week the Bow Tie Guy is in the studio alone and he shares his thoughts on fear. Our song of the week is "Fear" by Blue October.

Bill Maxwell from Prison Fellowship Ministries joins the show to talk about how he helps to bring light into the dark corners in our prison system.

Pastor Heather Urich comes on to talk about Spiritual Arson and the power of the tongue. James 3:6 and Ephesians 4:29 play heavily into this idea.

Rodney and Jennifer join the show this week to talk about their son Jude and how he is making a message out of the mess of being born without a fibula in both of his legs. Listen to this heart warming story and see how God always brings glory through love.

Bow Tie Guy and Bev talk about how to react when people try to use the past as a weapon. Ultimately forgiveness is for God and we must deal with the consequences of our actions, but we can still use our past as a tool for good.

Listener Bev from California joins us again today grieving and loss.

Andrew Gatdula joins us today to discuss the mess and message of diabetes in his life. We also listen to "Faithful Now" from Vertical Worship.

Becca Paxton and Faith Paxton join the show to talk about eneagrams.

Kennedy Kemp joins the show this week to talk about how she moved through the mess of a major knee injury and how the reshaping of her career and attitude changed her walk. This goes way beyond a slight limp!

This week, as implausible as it sounds, I have Andrew Mangan from the Arseblog Arsecast on the show. Even if you don't cast a lick about soccer or Premiere League Football, you will dig the should, because he's just that engaging a chap.

This week musician, poet, and spoken work artist Mark J the Poet joins the show. Paul and Mark J the Poet discuss how pornography took hold in their lives and how they eventually found freedom in Christ through Celebrate Recovery.

State Rep from Texas Johnny Young joins the show this week to talk about running his own home CR during the pandemic, as well as providing support for all of the CR groups under his umbrella as a State Rep. We chat about the song "Holy Water" as well. Of course, being from Texas means we had to use Gigantic as our Word of the Week!

Jason and Roger, the guys from the Soberholic Podcast, join the show this week. If you like to hear people talk with southern accents, this is your show! Among the topics of conversation this week are how Roger lost his hand. Yes, you read that right! Listen in and learn...
