645- Ingredients of a Happy Marriage

Marriage is not easy. Adding kids into the mix makes it even more challenging. It’s not surprising that between two-thirds and one-half of all marriages in the US end in divorce. This week Kari and I will celebrate 26 years of marriage and we are as happy and as solidly connected as we’ve ever been. Here are what I believe are five key ingredients to a successful marriage, plus a bonus ingredient.

S4E4 Subject 9

Subject 9 is a pivotal episode of Fringe marking Peter’s return to the timeline… sort of. We are joined once again this week by the awesome Anna (not Torv) and our discussions touch upon some of the new developments about this timeline revealed in this episode such as different relationships between characters like Olivia and Nina and Walter and Nina (or Viper as you prefer), and we also discuss the incredible performance by the late Chadwick Boseman.

644- Kingdoms in Conflict

The word gospel simply means good news. For many of us when we hear the word gospel we think of good news that Jesus came and died to pay the penalty for our sin and provide a way to reconcile us with God. That is indeed good news! That is gospel. We often hear gospel messages about Jesus, but we don’t often hear about the gospel message that Jesus himself preached. Is it possible that we’ve missed the real message of Jesus?

Come to Life

When the lines are blurred between the animate and inanimate, suspenseful and thrilling things happen within the sandbox of the Twilight Zone. This month we explore “The After Hours” and “The New Exhibit” which present stories with characters whose reality isn’t what it seems, leading to shocking revelations about their true nature.

643- Ten Hours Maximum

Small moments can become unknown investments which make ripples decades for decades. Don’t underestimate the impact a small moment can have on someone’s life. Be engaged and authentic. Make the time count. Take time to let someone know when they’ve impacted your life in a positive way. Kind words are like honey—sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.

S4E3 Alone in the World

Although we are discussing the Fringe episode “Alone in the World” this week on the podcast, we are not actually alone because we are joined by Hannah, our resident fungus expert! We talk about what we love about this episode and its themes but also express some disappointment over never seeing Aaron again despite the powerful bond that he forms with Walter.

642- It’s Better to Give

There are two women who still inspire me today. They remind me that no matter where you are in life, no matter your financial situation, no matter what difficulty you’re going through or mountain you’re on top of, you are never too good to treat someone with respect and even offer them something extra to brighten their day, and you’re never too poor to be able to find someone who needs help more than you do.

641- The Pros of Cons

641- The Pros of Cons

In 2019, my daughter and I attended San Diego Comic Con together. It was a week of highs and lows as she got to drive a boat for the first time, a memory she still talks about often. Cons are a great place to take your kids and create great memories. When I talk about the benefits of going to cons, I’m not just talking about comic-cons. The con in comic-con is short for convention, but there’s another word that is often used for these things too. It’s the word conference. I found taking my kids to those was great too.

We are joined by frequent feedback contributor ShelkyBean one night in April, discussing Fringe episode, “One Night in October” in which the Redverse asks for help from the Blueverse to help them stop a serial killer. We have a wonderful, deep conversation about the rich themes that are explored in this episode such as nature vs. nurture.

640- Is the Resurrection Reliable?

640- Is the Resurrection Reliable?

The resurrection is everything. Paul put it this way, “if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.” After all, if a man who claimed to be God, received worship as if he were God, forgave sins claiming he had the authority of God, claimed that he would die and three days later be raised from the dead, and claimed that he was the only way to God, actually supernaturally rose from the dead, wouldn’t that give credibility to everything he said and claimed? Indeed it would.
