  2. Small Is Beautiful! In this episode, we continue our reading and discussion of Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents by Rod Dreher.

  5. We kept Rev. Tim Koch on for one more episode, as we expand the conversation from "what makes a sermon" from last week, to some of the struggles with both pastors and parishioners.
  6. It’s Good to Be a Weird Family. In this episode, we continue our discussion about the Benda family in Live Not by Lies. Why is it important to raise weird children? What is the long-term impact of raising children to be Christian dissidents? How can we strengthen children to withstand worldly pressures to conform to normalcy?
  7. In a world where sermons can be downloaded from any church at the touch of a button, it's easy to follow "celebrity pastors" pastors who are outside your denomination, pastors who don't even know you.
