Keeping Up With The Joneses

We hope your commute is long this week, or you at least have a lot of housework to do because this is the longest podcast we've made yet. It's totally not our fault. There's just too many good stories from Lyle that it was difficult to cut. Here's what you'll hear however; Lyle's transformation from drug dealer to a rescuer of children caught in sex trafficking, his first encounter with missions, what Heidi Baker taught him about the Kingdom and lots, lots more. This is a great episode.

AJ has a fairly horrible week (don't worry, all first world problems), Alyn gives AJ a jingle challenge and we answer a question on women in ministry. The main topic is honor, what it is, how we first encountered it and how God desires for us to live in it.

Celebrating our 10 year anniversary this weekend, we talk about pulling a surprise on a prophetic wife, the highlights of being married for 10 years and an overview of touring old houses in the country. It's better than it sounds. Seriously.

We admit it, we're behind on the listener questions that you've sent in. This week we sat down and worked our way through the list we had. Get answers on fasting, the prophetic, knowing what to do next and boundaries. Also, the Nintendo Wii U has taken over the Jones household.

It's almost impossible to describe just how amazing Chris McClarney is. He's a world renowned worship leader, a gifted song writer, incredible dad and just all round great guy. On this episode we pick Chris's brain on the anointing, leading worship, his one word descriptions of the greatest worship leaders around and his fascination with Lego. Bonus: Alyn finds a spontaneous prophetic song from years ago that many years later ended up as one of Chris's most awesome songs.

Recorded Christmas Eve, catch up on the crazy drug fueled week Alyn had thanks to an allergic reaction, discover our Christmas pajamas and what we have in store for our kids on Christmas morning. Honestly it's better than it sounds. Plus a free gift for our listeners. Merry Christmas everyone!

Trapped nerves, skateboarding, breakdancing and the blessing of friends all get coverage this week. Also, A.J. gets bored when Alyn talks tech and there's an awesome activation for listeners to do at the end of the podcast.

Preparing for Christmas time, we swap stories of Christmas morning. Also socks, underwear and pajamas can never be considered Christmas presents. Short discussion of nerdy cleaning time with Alyn and AJ just can't stop singing.

With the realization that this past year has been one of celebration, this week we talk about the process of celebration and how living in America has changed the way we celebrate. Recorded on the drive from North Carolina to Tennessee this episode features the sounds of I40, our children talking in the background and observations of road kill.

In this episode we talk differences between Canadian, American and British thanksgiving celebrations. We talk food, the Airfryer and the books we've read that have impacted us most.
