Episode 99 - You Can’t Handle the Truth

People respond to truth in various ways. Lee and Amy discuss this idea in the context of adaptability, intelligence, and scripture.
 
“The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.” Albert Einstein
 
“Our courts oppose the righteous, and justice is nowhere to be found. Truth stumbles in the streets, and honesty has been outlawed. Yes, truth is gone, and anyone who renounces evil is attacked. The Lord looked and was displeased to find there was no justice.”
Isaiah 59:14-15 NLT

Unexpected Episode 98 - Santa is Real and He's a Brawler!

Nicholas’s existence is not attested by any historical document, so nothing certain is known of his life except that he was probably bishop of Myra in the 4th century. According to tradition, he was born in the ancient Lycian seaport city of Patara, and, when young, traveled to Palestine and Egypt. He became bishop of Myra soon after returning to Lycia. He was imprisoned and likely tortured during the persecution of Christians by the Roman emperor Diocletian but was released under the rule of Constantine the Great. He may have attended the first Council of Nicaea (325), where he allegedly struck the heretic Arius in the face. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Saint-Nicholas

Episode 95 - Remedies for Loneliness

Most people feel lonely at one time or another. Let's talk about it.
 
" Loneliness does not come from having no people around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you. Loneliness is rarely about empty rooms. It is about carrying words you cannot say and truths you do not feel safe to share. Healing is learning to speak what matters most so you are no longer alone with it. This is the work of letting yourself be seen and known for who you really are." Carl Jung

Episode 91 - Take a Load Off, Fanny

What does it mean to bear one another's burdens? Let's talk about it.
 
"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load." Galatians 6:2
