Today we're going on a brief historical survey through the Church's wars against heresies as embodied in creeds and other expressions of the common faith. A very brief survey. Barely enough to get our toes wet, but hopefully enough to spark your interest in studying more!

Creeds, Catechisms, & Statements of Faith

The world has been afflicted with poor history teachers, who seem to think that the most important things about the past are the most boring and useless parts of it. And so history has taken on a reputation for dry, dull, evilness. But is studying history only an academic pursuit of endless trivia? No! History is one of the most important things we can study for improving our practical, daily, God-honoring lives! Come join us as we discuss how. ;)

The Praxis of History

To wrap up our series on men and women, we're doing another Q&A episode! We cover topics ranging from Nietzsche to ghosts to child labor, and we even talk about a few things relevant to our series, haha. It's a fun ride, regardless, and we'd love to hear your thoughts!

Q & A Returns!

Let your hearts be brave ye who venture into this subject!! We've been hinting since our earliest episodes that we would eventually, someday, take the dive and discuss our thoughts on modesty, and the day has finally come. But first, we lay some foundations in the key distinctions between men and women in communication, and how we should approach that concept at all. If you're puzzled by what the connection is between communication and modesty, give a listen! Also, big news, this is the penultimate (second to last) episode in our series on relations between the sexes, and the last one will be another Q&A episode! So make sure to send in as many questions as you can so we have something to talk about. ;) We'll be focusing on questions relevant to our topics in the last several episodes, but you can also venture into topics relevant to relations between the sexes that we didn't cover. Send them in via email, FB messenger, Discord, however! For your reference, here are the books/resources mentioned in the podcast (also: some relevant images and memes will be shared in the Discord server): Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage - Mark Gungor Love & Respect - Emerson Eggerichs Men Are Like Waffles--Women Are Like Spaghetti - Bill & Pam Farrel For Men Only & For Women Only - Jeff & Shaunti Feldhahn Sexy Marriage Radio - Podcast by Dr Corey Allan

Communication & Modesty

So what happens if you aren't dating/courting and you aren't married (yet)... can you still be friends with that weird, alien, other half of the species? How do we navigate the awkward, touchy, complicated waters of false assumptions and accidental miscommunications? How do we live in love towards each other, radically, while still remaining not-marital? We don't have all the answers, but we do take a stab at this subject along with another of our friends: Sam Lichty. Join us and let us know what you think!

Siblings in Christ

After courtship and dating comes, Lord willing, marriage! But what does that look like? Joining Ravi and Jaymes this month are Azriel (our first returning guest!) and his wife to discuss the purpose and function of marriage. And we definitely have fun storming castles along the way. ;)

Marriage & Covenants

Today, Ravi and Jaymes are diving into the murky quagmire of mushiness that is romance-with-intent-of-marriage (or not, as the case may be). This is a complicated topic that has a ton of pitfalls and rabbit trails, which we... mostly tried to dodge. There are soapboxes and rants galore, though, so strap in and have fun! Let us know how wrong we are in Discord or on FB! ;)

Romantic Relations & Mushy Stuff

Following up in our series on relations between the sexes, we dive into what is femininity? This is a hotly contested and debated topic, and there's so much more that could be said than what we could cover. But to help us out, we brought in a guest expert, Cora Jongeward, who is definitively more female than either Jaymes or Ravi. Together, we explore the origin of females in Eve and the various facets of womanhood, elevating it back up to its place of glory. We also talk briefly about some of the attacks on femininity and false understandings of it, teasing our next episode, which will focus entirely on feminism and how we should interact with it as Orthopraxically minded Christians.

Femininity & Synergy

Where orthodoxy meets real life, or: Insanity - practical application of Scripture and ranging everywhere. Amiable agreement and disagreement ensues.
