This week Paul and Aaron talk about what it means to follow the ideal of Love Thy Neighbor.  With everything going on, do we care more about plight of people and loving them where they are and where they are hurting or do we care more about the rules of law and enforcing them regardless of the person?  Does love mean that a person is immune to the consequences of their actions?  Let...

Paul and Aaron discuss accountability and what this looks like - both from a theoretical and practical view.  We hit on a few themes but one of the things that stuck out is that accountability is a two way process - and it is impossible to do it any other way.

Join Paul and Aaron this year as they remember various family traditions surrounding Halloween.  Since Covid is still a thing - this year's Halloween is going to be different but it is good for the soul to remember what has happened in the past as well.

This past week has shown a disturbing trend with social media and the amount of control it has over what news is and isn't allowed to be posted/shared - even from reputable news sites. This sets a bad precedent - and these sites need to be held accountable for their actions. It is no longer excusable for social media sites to say they are only hosts and not editors - the actions this week show the...

So the question is - can you vo...
