Got Doubt? Good

The Bible Episode - Where Do You Even Start?!

If you've ever picked up a Bible and immediately felt lost you're not alone. In this episode, Jim and Larry break down the basics: what the Old Testament and New Testament actually are, why both matter, and where Jesus fits in. They talk through why there are different versions (yes, there are a lot), which one might actually be readable for a normal person, and why starting in the New Testament,  specifically the Gospel of John, might be the best first move you make.  They both share a Bible story they are fond of what they've recently learned about Jesus from the Bible. Just a starting point for anyone who's curious. PS.  Jim shares a "God moment" in the intro so be sure to check it out!

So You Want to Know Jesus

From empathy and trust to Jesus.  That's what we're talking about this week.  Truth be told, Jim is flying solo and he say's "never again"!  While Larry is tending to some business in Oregon and then moving the family to Ohio, Jim steps in to keep the cadence going.  That being said, the guys are excited to get back together and move towards talking about Jesus.  This week we'll set up what it means to have a "relationship with Jesus" (is that weird??), and how exactly does one do that?  It's getting sooooo good!

Got Doubt? Good

Most people think doubt is the opposite of faith. We think it's closer to the beginning of it.  In this episode we get honest about where our faith came from, when it failed us and why; including the kind of doubt that's loud and the kind you don't even recognize until you're already in it.  Also, Larry gives us a glimpse into life as a cop, and Jim introduces us to his newest (and painful!) workout. Also mentioned: Lee Strobel's The Case for Christ and the TV Series The Chosen.

Embrace Your Curiosity

A lot of people aren't done with Jesus, they're just done with feeling cornered. Curiosity doesn't have a deadline. This episode is for anyone who's ever wanted to ask questions but didn't trust the room.  It's about giving yourself permission to wonder, doubt, and take your time; and why that's not a lack of faith, it's the beginning of it.

Maybe We Should Start With An Apology

Faith is complicated. And if it's ever felt hard for you because someone or something hurt you, a question nobody answered honestly, or just a quiet feeling that it's not for you, then this one's for you. No pressure. Just an honest conversation. And maybe an overdue apology.
