The Things We Say

Freedom. It means something intrinsically to every one of us. But what is it? How do we find it? What keeps it alive?

This episode is all about music, singing, and worship in the church. Join us as we unpack Ephesians 5:19

Music is something we all have in common. We use it to relax, get pumped up for a workout, to worship, or even to help us cope with life. Why does music affect us the way it does? This week Nate and Sheldon explore the topic of music... join us to see where it goes!

We revisit the Star Wars discussion. But, this time Sheldon has watched all the movies! Time to go a little more in depth into the story, characters, and the force.

This episode was recorded live, while we took topics from our audience. It seems the goal was to goad Nate and Sheldon into an argument. The conversation flips quickly from serious to silly topics with little to no warning. Be prepared!

This episode Nate and Sheldon wade into a topic men know very little about: Women. We're both married, and expect to remain so even after the airing of this episode.

Is there only one soulmate for each person? Does God have a perfect spouse for you? Is the concept of "The One" myth or reality? Don't worry, Nate and Sheldon have things to say about it

We all have our disagreements with others. Is there anything to learn in our verbal battles? We explore why we get into arguments and what can be gained.

Why do sports matter? If you love sports, the answers are endless! But why should sports matter, for people that don't like sports? Nate and Sheldon talk about how sports affect all of us.

"Blessed are the peacemakers." But how do we make peace? Many Christians have different ideas. We discuss our experiences and thoughts on war, peace, and living out the call of Christ in this area.

Continuing the discussion of conspiracy theories, we listen in as Nate shares his favorite - the Death of George S. Patton!

Nate and Sheldon discuss why conspiracy theories capture our imagination. They each pick one and tell the story! This episode is Sheldon's... the Titanic.

So you want to start a movement. You want to change something. Where do you start? A hashtag? A profile pic? A protest sign? Sheldon and Nate discuss "slacktivism" and what it really takes to change a culture.
