On this episode Daryl, Karen, and Roo talk about a very popular lawn sign.  It has been seen at many houses and we talk about the world view it comes from and what the Bible has to say.

What Are We Even Doing Here?

A Sign Of The Times

On this episode of WAWEDH, we discuss something we are by no means experts in, voting and politics.  As Christians we believe we should view everything according to what God has said.  We talk about what we believe God says about this difficult subject and we have a lot of fun doing so. Our daughter Too joins us once again as well.   Make sure you follow us on twitter, facebook, and instagram.

Rock The Vote

On this episode our daughter Eleanor (aka Roo) puts Karen and I on the hot seat asking us about our walk with Jesus and how we even got there.  We also talk about Karen making a Twitter account. PS Points for whoever knows what movie Karen quotes when answering the last question from Roo.  

Put On The Hot Seat By Roo

We thought of things we forgot to talk about on the last two episodes.  Hopefully we cover as much as we can.  We are always ready to take any questions you have.  

Foster/Adoption Part 3 (Things We Forgot to Say)

On this episode we discuss the process we went through to get certified as foster parents.  We also answer some listener questions that we received from Twitter.  If you have more questions about our experience please contact us on Twitter or Facebook.    

Foster and Adoption Part 2 (The Process)

Family Worship Episode

We are back once again. Karen and I discuss schooling at home and homeschool.  Is there a difference?  Why do we homeschool? We hope this is the first of many episodes to come.  Thanks for listening and please share and interact with us. Thank you!   Grace and peace! https://podcasts.strivingforeternity.org https://www.facebook.com/WhatAreWeEvenDoingHere/ https://whatareweevendoinghere.com

School at Home or Homeschool?

On this episode I was honored to interview a cohost of one of my favorite podcasts Revived Thoughts.  Troy is very encouraging in his passion for truth and to serve the Lord.  He and his partner Joel take old sermons that have never been recorded and have them narrated.  They also give a history of the pastor who preached them originally as well as a history of what was going on at that time.  When you listen it is not just like someone is reading a stiff paper.  The narrators read as if they are preaching.  In fact many of them are preachers.  The sermons themselves are still relevant today.  If you didn't know they were from pastors as far back as hundreds of years ago you'd think they were preached last Lord's day. We hope this interview blesses and encourages you.  It was an honor to interview Troy and hope to get him on again.  Make sure you check out Revived Thoughts in the Christian Podcast Community or wherever podcasts can be found.   Revived Thoughts https://revivedthoughts.com Christian Podcast Community https://podcasts.strivingforeternity.org Help Us Keep Podcasting https://www.patreon.com/whatareweevendoinghere Facebook https://www.facebook.com/WhatAreWeEvenDoingHere/

Talking With Troy Frasier of Revived Thoughts

It has been a while since we last had an episode.  Karen suggested we record this special episode with our daughters and talk about how the quarantine has been going.  We discuss having school at home and Lord's day worship.  We pray this episode will encourage and bless you.

Special Family Quarantine Episode

On this episode we talk about worship.  Does God say how he is to be worshipped or can we worship Him however we want?  After coming back from the G3 conference a few weeks ago this has still been on our minds.  I ask Karen and Roo some questions about worship and we have a fun time discussing this as well as some other theological topics.  We hope this conversation encourages you to think about these important matters.

Karen And Roo quizzed about Worship

After taking a few months off we are back.  A lot has happened since our last episode back in September, but we are back and have plans to continue.  In one of our last shows we talked about having a new foster child in our home.  We have been adjusting to life going from one to three kids in one year.  We hope to keep providing good Christian content as a husband and wife, and sometimes kids.  But sometimes life may get in the way.  It is all a blessing.  We will just keep seeking the kingdom of God and finding what we are even doing here.

Life and Theology in Maryland with Kyle and Hannah

This episode is a replay from something we recorded early on in the history of this podcast.  We take a trip each year to visit our friends in Maryland.  We decided to sit down and record a casual conversation about what God has done in our lives.  At the time Kyle and Hannah had recently had a baby that you will hear in the background.  Jhoi was single and Karen and I didn’t have our foster children yet.  We will be heading to Maryland again so stay tuned for the followup episode.  Much has changed in a year but God has been faithful through it all.  He always is!  Please support us on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/whatareweevendoinghere Christian Podcast Community https://strivingforeternity.org/cpc/cpc-podcasts/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/WhatAreWeEvenDoingHere/  

Flashback: Conversation With Friends In Maryland

As my wife and i sit in church we sometimes wonder “What Are We Even Doing Here?” Not because we don’t believe, but because we do. It is crazy that years ago we didn’t believe in Jesus. We were a young and struggling married couple with a young daughter. But thanks to God’s soveriegnty and His use of a believer, I came to believe in Jesus. About two years later God changed Karen’s heart and she was brought to belief. Now we look back in amazement and see where we are today, knowing we don’t deserve to be here, and ask, “What Are We Even Doing Here?” I’m sure you all have asked this question for one reason or another. This question is asked both in our personal lives and life in general. “Why are we here? What is our purpose? What is this world?”During this podcast we hope to explore these questions and more. We will share our story as husband, wife, and parents as God continues to work in our lives. We will seek to answer what we are even doing here from a biblical perspective. Come along on our adventure and find out “What Are We Even Doing Here?”
