Keeping Up With The Joneses

We'll be honest, this was a hard week with a very rough ending. Pneumonia, winter storms and the death of a friend. As a result this isn't your normal podcast. We say hi for sure, but you'll forgive us for not sharing, instead you get to listen a message Alyn preached called The Thin Line. Or, you could just listen to last week's episode which was astonishing. We'll be back next week with regular programming.

This is more than an hour of solid gold Holy Spirit goodness. On this episode we ask David to share the story of how God transformed him from a suicidal alcoholic schizophrenic into the cuddly loving mercy prophet we have today. If you're not encouraged after listening to this episode, have a bag of skittles and try listening again.

This one's a winner. You've got AJ's whistling nostril, AJ's story of how she started smoking and some talk about the most disbelieved verse in the Bible. Also, stories of how you can kick start blessing in your life and we answer a listener question about soaking.

The difference between people who do and people who don't, is that people that do, do. And the people that don't, don't. In this episode, Alyn talks about his realization that most of what he thought was wisdom has been fear and the dramatic effects that has on following God. Also, AJ is now Lady of Catan.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with strings, none of these are our favorite things. But if you listen to this episode you'll find out a few of our favorite things from 2015. Also, we see Star Wars (but talk spoiler free) and have a brush with a tornado.

In response to a listener's question we talk about the steps to resting in life. Plus fake Christmas, real Christmas, leprechauns and AJ gets a bike. Also, we float the question, "if you could listen to the live recording of the show, would you want to?"

To quote Stephen King: "What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work." This week we look at the wisdom in working hard right now for your future you (despite right now not looking anything like what you want to be doing in the future). Also, Alyn gets a bicycle and AJ's ready for Star Wars.

We answer listeners' questions about sexiness, once saved always saved, alone time and hearing God's voice. Plus Alyn's thinking about getting a bike and wants a pastry named after himself. All in all, a pretty normal week.

And we're back! Thanksgiving is over but not forgotten. This week we think through the three things we are most thankful for. AJ gives a quick review of the iPad Pro, Pencil and Smart Keyboard and Alyn prays for an impartation of the kindness of God.

We're taking a rest this week and enjoying some downtime with family for thanksgiving. While we're away from the normal schedule, we have some very special guests to talk to you about the wonders of Thanksgiving. We'll see you next week!
