Keeping Up With The Joneses

Out of all the feelings, this was the one that had the most impact on our understanding of ourselves. On this week’s episode we unpack why shame is actually a blessing (something that would previously been an anathema to our thinking), leads to a glorious gift and has two fairly horrible impairments. As a bonus: we breakdown an argument we had last week and show how shame played a role in it.

Fear is not as scary as we've been led to believe. This week we talk about the gifts and impairments (plural!) found in fear. Also we discover wrestling!

This week has given us plenty to be angry about and on this episode Alyn gets to demonstrate what anger looks like, AJ tells you what the gift is and we get to explore all sorts of misunderstandings regarding what is - and isn't - anger.

This week we talk about sadness. Not sadness as a concept, but our own sadness and what we’ve done with it in the past and how that’s worked out for us. We also talk about reconciling sadness with the goodness of God. Recorded after a week of deep sadness, we love how this turned out. Let us know what you think!

This week we’ve had proper sleep so we’re on our A-game. Sort of. We talk all about the feeling of loneliness which is the feeling that as humans we try to avoid the most. We talk about the gift that’s found in the feeling of lonely and most importantly update you on the celebrity world of Animal Crossing.

Last week we started our journey into discovering more about our feelings. This week we tackle the topic of hurt. Let’s just say, we start rowdy and it only gets more glorious.

We're in the middle of a global pandemic. Everyone you know - including yourself - is going to have feelings. Denying them won't help, but this podcast will! We're starting a 9 week series on feelings and why they are a gift from God. This episode is the primer for the rest of the series. Buckle up and get your feels on!

It only took a global pandemic to get us podcasting again. Let's get reacquainted and connected. And what do we have here? Video? It’s like podcast Christmas! Watch or listen: it’s your choice.

Just in time for your drive home from Thanksgiving. This week we talk about our thanksgiving traditions (which we just created), what we’re thankful for and explore the reasons why there’s been no episodes recently. For non US listeners we apologize for all the US centric holiday talk. Don’t be put off, there’s still some gold in here.

We went as a family to visit The Holy Land. It was quite the adventure. In this nearly hour long episode we talk about what it was like to be there, what we saw and what we came home with. If you are a patron, the video version of this episode is replete with photos and videos of our time there.
