the Wikkid podcast Mike "that Wikkid Person" Moore

The pre-episode for the upcoming Season 5, which will deal primarily with troubles connecting to church and worship services, and also with church splits/divisions. A bunch of backlogged thought and life updates.

A song presenting the unpopular idea that perhaps, all too often, church attendance is more about making much of Christians rather than much of God. Working on mixing a drum kit without it blasting the whole mix full of low midrange mud. All the different musical approaches to a single religious song. Should the worship team try to outdo Lady Gaga? The vegan, bloodless sacrifice of Cain. The idea that there are basic moods trying to be achieved in modern evangelical churches: feelbad or feelgood services. Happy clappy, or smells 'n bells. That some services are about quiet, inner, meditative silence, and ones that are about jubilant, group exhuberation. And that people argue over how much their church services succeed or fail at helping them feel the way they want to be helped to feel.

This episode explores that thing we tell young people that "there's someone for everyone," or in the Christian circles "the Lord has someone picked out for you to spend the rest of you life with." Author and actress Susan Isaacs (Angry Conversations With God) contributes to this season.

Flirting. With Christian girls? Can you win a woman's heart with a song? Michael Vedder shares some firsts, including first (church) girlfriend, and first dumping of a committed church girl so he could be free to get his feet dirty enough from walking around in the actual world to possibly need to wash them. Harold talks about how a man who was the only survivor of a car accident when he was five, and who grew up without a mother, grew up to be someone who goes around hugging and complimenting everyone he meets. Meghan talks more about being a "worldlie" having a secret relationship with a young Plymouth Brethren Christian Church guy.
