    No Need to Complain

    What does a Christian do with loss, change, and failure? How should you emotionally respond in moments when you acutely realize your finitude, brokenness, and mortality? When it seems like permanence is fleeting and the stability of your efforts is slipping through your finger tips, where do you go? Or when the veneer of everything glamorous is either rotting or getting rusty, what do you say? What do you do when grey seems like the new gold? In this second episode of season four, on Common Grace and Communion in Culture, Chris and Kyle inaugurate a five-part analysis of various tracks from the band, First Aid Kit. The episode they discuss their song "Stay Gold." They talk about aesthetics to be appreciated, our status as creatures, and how to have hope despite loss and broken relationships. Also, when you keep the Sabbath, the grey starts to look more and more like gold. +  +  Welcome to another season of Two Pour Spirits! +  +  Two Pour Spirits is a podcast of Project : Neighbor.

  2. Tribalism and Talebearing: Two Vices of the Day

    Tribalism and Talebearing: Two Vices of the Day

    Don't deny it—we all do it.  We exaggerate the sins of our enemies. We overbear their faults and unnecessarily seek to discover any and every infirmity that they possess. And then we accentuate these malfeasances (cf. Genesis 9:22): "See! This is what they always do! Aren't they the worst?" And we double down for our tribe. Even if it means fudging with the truth, practicing emotional sabotage, or disregarding credible counter voices.  In this episode, Chris and Kyle continue talking about our speech as Christians—specifically, our words about the wicked. We are not doing a great job of talking about our enemies. We're breaking the ninth commandment everywhere we turn. Whether it's the journalist's lede, the news outlet's clickbait, or our own retweets. We're like the worst. This is not how you nourish a commonwealth.  But we help.   +  +  Welcome to another episode of Two Pour Spirits. +  +  Two Pour Spirits is a podcast of Project : Neighbor.

  3. Wear a Helmet and Don't Be an Idiot: Stewarding the Street

    Wear a Helmet and Don't Be an Idiot: Stewarding the Street

    The road wasn't put there for you to get to Whole Foods. It’s a thoroughfare for everyone to travel. You have your routes and routines, sure, but so does the next guy. You got to share the street. And you might even do it like a Christian—by blessing others. In the lane itself, across the median, and even on the shoulder. Just deliver those blessings around the clock. Even on holidays. Especially on Christmas.  In this episode, Chris and Kyle draw some lines in the pavement. Simply put, roads were made for cars and trucks. Bicycles are illegal aliens, motorcycles are guests, and mopeds are fugitives who must be apprehended and banned. Regardless of what you drive, don't hog the road, and don't be dumb: stop weaving between cars, wear a helmet, and put on some pants. God forbid you scorch your calf on the muffler.  +  +  Welcome to another episode of Two Pour Spirits. +  +  Two Pour Spirits is a podcast of Project : Neighbor.
