Welcome to Episode 1 of Bible Belt. This will be a semi-regular thing for Use Your Words where Aaron and Paul relax, have a drink, and talk about the spiritual journeys they both are on. In this episode Aaron wanted to share…
Today we are both sad and happy to announce that our very own Josh is leaving the podcast. We are sad because we do - even though we may tease him - enjoy having him on the show with us. But we are also happy to see him take…
There really is no title for today's episode. Once a month we try to go down the more spiritual route with our conversations and that was this week's conversation. Originally we were going to talk about a multitude of thin…
The CDC recently released a report which stated that in June of 2020 25.5% of people aged 18-24 SERIOUSLY considered suicide. That is an alarming statistic - and shook Paul to his very core. Since it is suicide awareness m…
This is part two of a conversation which was started last month regarding culture changing and how we should react to it. Last month focused mostly on culture in large - while this month focuses more on changing culture wit…
This week Paul is joined by Aaron as we talk about what is going on in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Both of us live close to the town, and have been there multiple times ourselves. We wanted to talk about what we are seeing in Keno…
With Covid and other things going on around the world - it has been popping up on Social Media that only those who are experts in their respective field should be giving information on their respective field. If you are not…
This week Aaron wanted to talk about how to deal with changing culture both in the world and inside the church. Well we talked long enough about the former that we never got to the later - so stay tuned to next month to hea…
A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to be part of a fundraiser for Covid-19 support for families in the Wisconsin. While this is a shorter episode (we had to keep it short on purpose) we felt it was appropriate to releas…
This week Aaron wanted to talk about motivation - and how does a lack of motivation compare to just getting too busy (and are they related in any way?). This week we talk about that - and learn what Josh is shopping for. A…
This week Paul finally wraps up the past four weeks of Use Your Words with the overarching theme which answers the question about why people want to tear down statues, why people want to create laws which allow discriminatio…
I did an experiment recently on social media to see what would happen if I intentionally made a post that was contrary to the thoughts and opinions of the people in the post. The main rule for this was that the post itself c…
I have always thought California was a little odd regarding some of the crazy things coming out of that state - but I have to admit they have done a few things right throughout the years. If you remember a little while ago I…
Life is hard - especially during Covid. But what can you do to help yourself and help someone else who is suffering in this time? What is self care? What can you do to make it through these stressful times? This Monday Paul …
A recent trend in the unrest in America is groups of people tearing down statues (illegally) that they feel are problematic. We have gone beyond cancelling people to wanting to cancel statues of historical figures. Should …
Aaron wanted to talk about Chap/Chop this week. He wanted to talk about them even though he didn't know too much about the inner workings of this. So Paul decided to school both Aaron and Josh on what has been going on ove…
Vulnerability in Americans seems to be almost nonexistent - partially as a result of our culture that likes to be individualistic that preaches that showing any vulnerability is a weakness instead of a strength. It has caus…
This month seems to be the Aaron month with him bringing up ideas/topics to drive the conversation - while Josh goes and buys a saw online (more on that on Friday). Aaron brings up a couple of things he wanted to discuss -…
The TV show community has the concept of the darkest timeline in the series to drive part of the narrative. While re-watching the series, Paul was struck with the idea that we are in the dumbest timeline. What does it mean…
This week Aaron wanted to talk about bad christians. No - not the podcast but those who claim to be christian and yet do things that are deceptive, or knowlingly false. We also talk about the issues with judging as a Chris…
I had the privilege of being part of a podcastathon to help raise money for an organization that helps kids learn how to better socialize, learn skills, and go through life - in other words they mentor them. This got me thi…
