Fresh Catch 2.0 David Dean & Dr. Dave Rahn

To our most loyal listeners…will you PLEASE let us know if you think we're trending towards being crotchety old men too much for your taste? Today's podcast started slipping that direction, where complaints get the headlines. That's what led one of us (no sense rubbing in the shame, right DD?) to utter the phrase that is this episode's title. And if you think that's bad, wait until you hear his last words. FCC alert…

"Whatever." "If you say so." There are more of these poor inauthentic ways we avoid transparency. Lots of them are favorite weapons of those skilled in passive-aggressive relational warfare. But we chose to camp on something that presents another sort of problem: it so happens that "it's all good" can be understood as one of the deepest, most portable biblical truths available to those who confess Jesus is Lord.

Please forgive us if you need delivered from the weird, stinky riv...

As is more common than not for a free-wheeling Fresh Catch frolic, we bounced around with butterfly nets trying to catch the giggles this morning. Dr Dave's brash on-air snacking led us to explore eating etiquette. We then meandered down the winding Wabash River, giving David the chance to boldly insert himself as our Huntington tour guide. He dropped pearls of dubious, colorful local knowledge into the mix, hoping to lure vacationers to consider visiting his hometown. Just don't Google...

Too many Yelp food reviews don't address our basic eating patterns - not ours. David opened the door for today's Glutton Support Group with his confession about the lingering effects of yesterday's White Castle drive through. And since confession is good for the soul (not "sole"…which is an absolutely delicious fish to feast on), Dr Dave hopped on, fighting the immediate temptation to munch a bunch of chips while turning into a human pod. BONUS: We celebrated how words, like waistlines, can b...
