    We Have Accents

    Everyone has an accent. Whether we recognize it or not, our accents are tributes to our parents, heritage, location, faith, and more. We recently learned that Third Culture Kids have a distinct accent, also known as the "International Student Accent." Listen in as we discuss a thesis by Bianca Vowell titled Dialect Change in 'Returning' Third Culture Kids and endure a spider sneak attack. Rebecca McLaughlin on When She Leads

    Hey, It's Okay to Be Single

    "It's cuffing season." Brandee Knowles (no relation to Beyoncé, we think) is in the studio with us as we talk through singleness and all its glory in life and ministry. Krista and I may be married women, but we were single once and it's safe to say that it was the best of times and the worst of times (but not for reasons you may think).  If you have some hometown ministry stories that you'd like to share, email us at thirdculturepod@gmail.com!

    Things I Wish I Could Say to My Students' Parents

    This is the second part of The Youth Ministry Tea and the kettle is whistling. Over our many years of serving, we've seen God grow us to value honesty and transparency in ministry so... we asked some youth workers to anonymously submit statements they wish they could discuss more openly with their youth's parents. Our heart is to address patterns and to bring reconciliation into difficult situations in light of the Gospel. Because of the Gospel, there is so much grace in confession, correction, and submitting to one another. Followers of Jesus, you make up the household of faith! So come on in, have a seat at the table for some tea, and let's have a family meeting. --- If you have some hometown ministry stories that you'd like to share, email us at thirdculturepod@gmail.com!

    The Youth Ministry Tea

    Here's the Youth Minis-tea: over 15+ years of youth ministry does something to you. In this episode, we comb through some things we've learned along the way while serving in youth ministry. We're talking youth group, camps, retreats, conferences, and summer-long discipleship programs. We even asked some saints to weigh in on their experiences with leading junior high and high school ministries, and there are some hard (but good) conversations to be had. This is the first of two youth-themed episodes, so stay tuned for next week when we share "Things I Wish I Could Say to My Students' Parents." It'll be spicy *sips tea* If you have some hometown ministry stories that you'd like to share, email us at thirdculturepod@gmail.com!

    The Power of Nostalgia (Part 1)

    There’s something about this time of year that makes us feel all the nostalgia. We can all agree that this year was LAME, so in this episode we reminisce a little further back to each of our nomadic childhoods through the 90s-00s.

    The One About Friendship w/ Whitney Gans & Brandee Knowles

    How does one "friend" exactly? Faith Wake and Krista Rull here. We invited our longtime best friends Whitney Gans and Brandee Knowles for a Destiny's Child reunion and to talk about what it takes to maintain friendships as an adult. Making friends can be awkward and challenging, but we've learned that deep and honest friendships are necessary for our maturation and spiritual formation.

    The Social Media Machine

    Why is social media? In this episode, Faith and Krista talk about dial-up internet, embarrassing email addresses and usernames (i.e. alwayzsmilez07, teen_tiger2000, etc.), growing up during the rise of social media, and its role in today's culture. Whether you love or hate social media, there's something to be said about its influence in the world around us. A definition we cover in the episode: "Social media is a worldwide highway of conversation with the sacred potential of being used by followers of Jesus to carry the message of the Gospel." Follow us on Instagram at @thirdculturepod and let's keep the conversation going! Share your social media stories and social media handles of old so we can find comfort in our shared embarrassment.

    Bonus Episode: Quarantine Edition w/ The Wakes + Rulls

    SURPRISE! B-B-B-BONUS! We (Faith Wake & Krista Rull) recorded and edited this bonus episode shortly after the release of The Pilot, and smack dab in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. Thales Jay Wake and Royce Rull, our super cool husbands, join the conversation as we comb through how 2020 has been so far, from early talks about the Coronavirus to our Palawan missions trip to the quarantine moment we're living in at the release of this episode. We touch on dealing with Shelter-In-Place orders, social media KABOOMs, switching to church online, army crawling through Zoom meetings, recording worship sets, learning new skills, staying creative, and Marvel time heists.  Things are changing fast--federal and state mandates, job and ministry situations, this strange political climate, and more. A lot of these changes have affected us in the past week alone, so we had to release this, as Michael Scott says, "ASAP as possible." We hope this chill conversation makes you feel like you're hanging out with your friends in this weird time.  Follow us on Instagram at @thirdculturepod. If you have any questions or fun suggestions for future episodes you can email us at thirdculturepod@gmail.com.

    The Pilot

    Here we gooooo! The Pilot is here and we are as ready as we will ever be. In this episode, we (Faith Wake & Krista Rull) talk about what The Third Culture Podcast is all about, what even is a Third Culture Kid, and our own TCK stories that have brought us to this point--this point right here with the subpar recording and unlimited artillery of niche boyband and fandom references. Please note: We recorded this episode towards the end of 2019 before we got really good microphones. Even so, we're still figuring out this production stuff. Don't be repelled by the pops and muffles. We hope you stick around for the storytelling, regardless of the sound quality. We hope you love it. This episode took a lot of panicked planning, should-we-do-it's and let's-just-flippin-do-it's. If you don't love it, just move on to the next thing. We don't do well with haterade. It sits funny in our stomachs. Haterade intolerance, amiright? Follow us on Instagram at @thirdculturepod.
