Two Pour Spirits

Feel More than Sorry: Repentance and Society

There's the reply guy who believes it’s innocuous but is totally being extra. And the baddie who accepted the promposal and made all the chaperones shake their heads. And the braggadocious Brad who was caught in 4K kicking that poor old man’s Buick, and then blamed it on the bruzz. Oh, and the neckbeard who, for a few chortles from his tribe, revels in rage-bait and ratcheting up online smoke.   In this seventh episode of season four, Chris and Kyle record an "excast" on why we need more repentance in our Republic (and a lot less regret in the Church). Not the kind of repentance that just feels sorry for a wrong done or wallows in regret over sin. No—the kind of repentance that turns people from their selfish ways to their Savior. The kind that makes room for others and draws them near.  +  +  Welcome to another episode of Two Pour Spirits! +  +  Two Pour Spirits is a podcast of Project : Neighbor.

I Spy with My Little Eye: People Aren't Objects

What are eyes for? Not side eyes or Gen Z stares.  What should people be doing when they’re convalescing? Definitely not online aura farming or mukbanging. What sins and vices are more likely to pop their heads in an apartment complex than a ranch or beach house? Probably bed rotting or Rickrolling.  And what hath Alfred Hitchcock and Slavoj Žižek have to do with negative neighboring? Literally . . . everything. In this sixth episode of season four, on common grace in culture, Chris and Kyle inaugurate a new mini-series on Alfred Hitchcock films. (That's right—Hitchcock has entered the chat.) This episode they analyze Hitchcock's film, Rear Window. The moral of the episode is lock in, look people in the face, don't spy on them, and be grateful for others.  +  +  Welcome to another episode of Two Pour Spirits! +  +  Two Pour Spirits is a podcast of Project : Neighbor.

You Do You: How to Figure Out Your Calling in Life

Maybe we're all here just figuring it out based on curiosity and piquancy. I could have been an NBA star but chose to be a writer instead. You could have been a model but got sidetracked tinkering with mechanical engineering. Orrrrr: Maybe we all have callings. Maybe there are things we are supposed to do in life. And maybe God designed us for them. And that's what we have to figure out.  In this fifth episode of season four, an "excast," Chris and Kyle turn their heads and hearts toward vocation, discernment, and how to trust your conscience in such a clamorous and confused age. Yet this ain't no ivory tower pageantry of pontification. They give real sticky advice. Like pay attention to your dreams, register your attractions and aversions, and don't be too quick to race past your mistakes.  +  +  Welcome to another episode of Two Pour Spirits! +  +  Two Pour Spirits is a podcast of Project : Neighbor.

How to Be a More Hopeful Neighbor: Give Them a Another Chance

"What they did to you—that? That deserves to be buried for the entirety of your life. For eternity, in fact. God was definitely absent. You have to flush those memories down the porcelain of the abyss. Don't remember those experiences. They will haunt you. Escape your past. Hide the hurt. And whatever you do, don't give them another chance." That's the sin talking.  In this fourth episode of season four, Chris and Kyle continue their five-part analysis of various tracks from the band, First Aid Kit. This episode they discuss their song "The Lion's Roar." It drips with divine providence. Even in the darkness, grace radiates. Even in deception, there is revelation. It also bops with redemption. He was there. He will be there. So listen and see the stability behind the curtain. Hear the faith amid the flux.  +  +  Welcome to another episode of Two Pour Spirits! +  +  Two Pour Spirits is a podcast of Project : Neighbor.

How to Be a More Hopeful Neighbor: Accept Your Mortality

How do you practice patience when it seems like everything is in flux? How can you believe in control when you only experience the rush of life? Can relationships actually be patched together and made whole again, or is it all merely psychological bandaging? Is there a silver lining to things, or are we all just doping ourselves with false hope? And what does all this mean for our interactions with others? In this third episode of season four, Chris and Kyle continue their five-part analysis of various tracks from the band, First Aid Kit. This episode they discuss their song "Silver Lining." They take Christian perseverance amid adversity head-on. Life is a pilgrimage; acknowledge this reality. Your ways have been ordered; adopt your calling. The wages of sin is death; accept your mortality.  +  +  Welcome to another episode of Two Pour Spirits! +  +  Two Pour Spirits is a podcast of Project : Neighbor.
