Too Busy to Flush

We have a full one today! We spend most of our time discussing the power of real-world accomplishments in our lives and reasons boys and men are failing today but before we get there, Molly and I share where inflation has been starting to squeeze us, some dietary changes and a few other little economic odds and ends. All of course relevant as we raise kids in a world where people a

Oddly, we kick off our return from vacation and surgery in rather mellow fashion with some discussion around recent TV and documentaries we've been watching. We also update you on the our crazy parenting and marriage world. Grab a cup of tea of coffee and hang out with us for an hour!

We go deep into relationships and what makes them thrive on this week's episode. We highlight sexual relationships and consequently parent/child relationships. No recipes this week but plenty of chuckles and fun tangents of banter between husband and wife. We will not have a show for the next three weeks or so.

This week we dive right in with some fascinating history on the roarin' 20's and the history of Caesar Salad before launching to discussions that happened on Telegram before moving into AI and worship music. Molly her usual theological insight to human achievement and sexuality when we close the show about kits, live kills in the house and hookup culture metaphors. Naturally, we in

In this episode, JR winds up Molly talking about shoulder surgery, that naturally segues to Mahatma Gandhi and Christian Nationalism before we veer of into deep hypocrisies and moral failings in the church in America. We close the show by discussing the need for increased vigilance with the advent of AI and how we need to reorient ourselves now. As usual, there's at least one recip

It's been over a week and kind of a nightmare. We catch you up before doing some lyrical reflection from a band Molly and I saw over the weekend before spending most of the show sharing recipes and hearing Molly rail on an old friend's post making false comparisons about transgenderism and sticking your neck out for it.

All the kids were sick last week which really threw us while unseasonably warm weather has us pondering bees, gardens and regenerative ecosystems. Molly also started a study on WW1 with the kids which leads us to discussion amillennalism, and depressing human evil. Of course, we temper that discussion with baked bread, good reads and poppy seeds. Take a listen!

Molly and J.R. dive in deep right off that bat with righteousness vs. sanctification, Islam and the LDS, and conversations with kids about guilt. This leads to more difficult conversations with kids about the end of the world, sin and what that whole thing looks like. We close the show drawing on our time overseas discussion western individualism vs the communal culture found elsew

It got really cold here in Montana. Really cold. So we had a few adventures. We also revisit last week's conversation and fill it out with some perspectives on grace and life in a fallen world. JR also learns a new term: "Wed Lease." Molly shares a recipe and it's the usual thing. Thanks for joining us!

Anthony Bradley posted a couple of threads about fatherhood, relational warmth and the need to change the Church's approach. It caused a bit of a stir on our Telegram group and Molly I felt it was really worth talking about. It's laser-focused on parenting and the fact that quality time does not trump quantity of time with your kids. Naturally we discuss it all with humor and conne
