This week Naomi and Austin are joined by their two dads. Everyone enjoys a Porter.

Austin enjoys an Oatmeal Porter from Asheville's own Highland Brewing Co [https://highlandbrewing.com/]. Naomi's dad, Lee Sease, enjoys a Porter from Homeplace Beer Co. [https://homeplacebeer.com/] in Burnsville, NC. While the conversation starts off talking about dead dogs, they quickly move on to cheerier things like how we follow Jesus' teaching of loving our neighbors during this time, whether Jesus would drink a porter and embarrassing stories about Naomi and Austin. Our mental health moment is taking a social media sabbath and we recommend the book Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DBRBP7G/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1]. This will be the last episode for the season and Naomi and Austin will be back later in the fall with new beers and new guests.

Pastor Austin is starting a new faith community called Wild Faith - Asheville [https://www.facebook.com/wildfaithasheville/].
