We will have regular discussions of the underlying issues for current events and news headlines, as well as exploring ways to bring spirituality into our busy lives whether we have a religion, believe in a deity, or not all over a nice cup of tea or coffee.

    Episode Five: Mosque Shooting, LGBT+ Rights, Project Blitz, & Anthem

    Episode Five: Mosque Shooting, LGBT+ Rights, Project Blitz, & Anthem

    This week Kenny and Lance discuss the tragic shootings at the two mosques in Christ Church, New Zealand; the state of LGBTIQQA+ rights under Trump; what Project Blitz and why it scares Lance; and it's rounded with a discussion of a game Kenny and Lance love to play, and what is coming up next week. The word sh*t is standard for the couple, so just be aware if you let the kids listen.  Swearing is pretty regular, if we are honest about it.


    New Zealand- USA Today;
    LGBTIQQA+ Rights in America under Trump- National Center for Trans Equality, Americans United for the Separation of Church and State;
    Project Blitz- The Guardian, Religion Dispatches, The Humanist Magazine, Blitz Watch;
    Anthem, the Video game by BioWare and EA- Anthem
