Grit & Gladness Brooks Potteiger

Another impromptu roundtable of two as we reflect on the happenings in our corner of the Kingdom.

We've had the wonderful joy of attending the Grace Agenda in Moscow, ID and share a few takeaways from our time in this episode. And, there's a special treat that involves a collision of Davey Jones and the prophet Isaiah if you make it all the way to the end.

In this episode Brooks reads through the manuscript from Pilgrim Hill Reformed Fellowship's first core group meeting.

We're back and have missed you much! In this episode we catch everyone up to speed with the happenings, including life as a family of 7 and the announcement of our church plant. Also, Laura and I share from our common place books –her, That Hideous Strength, and him, A Quest for Godliness. Then, we share a long overdue conversation we recorded with some dear friends who journeyed with us through the book studies last year.

On this episode of Grit and Gladness, Brooks and Laura are bedside with a new baby, whose lungs needed a little extra care adjusting to life outside the womb.  Tune in to hear their happy update, to further the discussion of The Excellent Wife and as Brooks issues a charge to Husbands to be the priest in their homes.

In this episode Laura and Brooks shake off the rust, after having postponed the podcast for severals weeks because of a whirlwind in their world. They read from That Hideous Strength by C.S. Lewis and mull the connection between obedience and love. Laura then takes that discussion into her chapter From The Excellent Wife, and Brooks reads a survey of the Gospel of John, with an eye for the Father.
