Episode 66: A Dramatic Pause and an Outro of Silence

An Epic End

HPT has dropped 72 epidoses of pure audio gold (1 per week - for 72 weeks straight)! We've continued the pursuit of Christ through fun, engaging and hodgepodgy conversations. Some guests have been "very special" and some have been "mediocre." Through it all, we have had an absolutly amazing time together. Our guest today, is David Bowden [https://www.davidbowdenpoetry.com/] (author, poet/spoken word artist and co-founder of Spoken Gospel [https://www.spokengospel.com/]). It is now time for a brief hiatus. Eric and James will attend to some family time and world travel & (LORD willing) return in a few weeks to jump right back into our niche (or is it niech [https://hodgepodgetheology.com/hodgepodge-theology-episode-1-discovering-the-nicheor-is-it-niche]?) of hodgepodge conversations. For now, enjoy the best episode in Hodgepodge Theology Podcast history!!!

The Insider's Guide to Life

Have you been trying to figure everything out? How's that going for you? Eric and James talk through the true insider's guide to life, happiness and true prosperity. Grab a cup of coffee, pull up a comfortable and join our conversation.

They've Done It!

Preparedness vs. Panic Exploring Stewardship, Fear, and Wise Living The long-awaited rumors have finally come to fruition. James & Eric refrained from saying ANYTHING prior to the mics going live. Every word you hear in this episode unfolded for the first time, exactly as it happened. As you might expect, the conversation is all over the map...and it is delightful. Amazing as it might sound, the boys reel it back in and take a deep-dive turn as they explore panic, preparation, stewardship and fear. How does preparedness (which can equate to good stewardship) walk the line of tension between fear-based-works and smart thinking? Listen in and see how the conversation goes. BTW - there is a bonus track at the end of the episode.

Remaking Stories From the Past

Did James just claim that Eric's middle name is Ned?? Or did he actually go so far as to use the name, "Percival"?? What. Is. Happening? The meat of the conversation explores the lack of creativity when remakes emerge more often than we might like. Eric and James weave that topic into the illusion some believers put forth for the world to see. Meaning, authenticity is what we should strive for, not just to be a Christian in name only. As usual, the conversation is fun, engaging and thought-provoking. If an actual Percival is listening, we'd love to hear from you!

I Can't Get No Satisfaction

Right off the bat, the grand winner is announced for the "Funkiest Photo" contest. The prize is delivered to said winner in true hodgepodge fashion. The conversation takes a deeper turn as the guys explore the concept of satisfaction, contentment and the awe and wonder of our Amazing God! Searching for satisfaction? Can't get no satisfaction (like Mick Jagger)? Join the conversation as we seek to choose Godliness and contentment in Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 6:6).
