Unchurched Podcast

EP107: Entertainment Faith Michael introduces “No Beer February”...while Sean records in the kitchen on a wheely kart. Sean gives dating advice. Then the boys talk about kids and the benefit of being bored, being allowed to fail, and not being consumed by things that entertain. This leads to a parallel with the church. Many of our pastors just entertain and never challenge people to action. With a challenge to action, we have the opportunity to fail and ultimately grow. It’s easy to show your faith in a church. There is nothing wrong with that. But the real faith is lived and practiced outside of the church. https://unchurchedpodcast.wordpress.com Email: unchurchedpod@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unchurchedpod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/UnChurchedPod

EP106: Reflections on Kobe Michael Finally has a new water tank! We have a New Drop for Good news! Love for the family of Kobe. May he rest in peace. When people die, you feel something...but do you when you don’t have a connection? Can we learn something from the global response to it? We all know we will die one day. Should we live our lives differently knowing that fact? We always assume there is “tomorrow”. https://unchurchedpodcast.wordpress.com Email: unchurchedpod@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unchurchedpod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/UnChurchedPod

EP105: Thoughts on Sovereignty Part 1 Michael starts with a disgusting “would you rather”. Then the boys talk a little football. Sean wants badly to discuss the sovereignty of God...but can’t remember what he wanted to say. The boys end with a convo about not being consumed by what you hear and see with daily programing. https://unchurchedpodcast.wordpress.com Email: unchurchedpod@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unchurchedpod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/UnChurchedPod

It’s not a matter of how many drinks you’ve had, but how stiff you make them. It’s also how you can avoid getting sick. Sean has a daily trick to prevent illness, it’s a little more healthy than Michael’s. Michael is still without hot water...which prompts a “Would You Rather”. The boys turn to last episode and discuss how they came to the decision to move. Do you consult God with major decisions in your life? How do you know when a decision is the right one for your life? What’s your confidence level in hearing God regarding it? There is a balance between waiting on God and doing what makes sense for your family. The “writing on the wall” is not going to happen. So, there should be a balance between being super spiritual and following what makes sense. We should trust God to open the door or close it because He loves us. We should also trust Him enough to be honest with Him and communicate what we want. It’s also important to follow peace. https://unchurchedpodcast.wordpress.com Email: unchurchedpod@g

Michael has a pet rock and misses Micah. Sean tries a new food joint with Drew and the wives. Drew gets hit on. Super funny. The boys take a hard turn and talk about balance in their relationship with God. Is it ok with God if you have not prayed in a week? Do you feel like you’ve backslidden if you haven’t read your Bible in a week? Jesus died for our imperfections. So why do we feel the need to be perfect? This sparks a convo about maturity and what is required to maintain a relationship with God. https://unchurchedpodcast.wordpress.com Email: unchurchedpod@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unchurchedpod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/UnChurchedPod

The boys recap the previous episode. Then Sean announces some BIG news and they discuss how bittersweet it is. It’s playoff season baby! We talk football and predict who ends up in the Superbowl and will be the champion. https://unchurchedpodcast.wordpress.com Email: unchurchedpod@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unchurchedpod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/UnChurchedPod

Pope gets assaulted and his security detail did nothing. The Pope is cool and the boys rap about the differences between Catholicism and modern Christianity. Then the boys talk about being in the moment and having a good laugh without offenses. Can you take a joke or are you super sensitive? Where do we draw the line? One thing for sure is we don’t have to over evaluate everything people say. We debut our new segment, “would you rather” just for fun. https://unchurchedpodcast.wordpress.com Email: unchurchedpod@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unchurchedpod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/UnChurchedPod

EP100: Happy 100th Happy Everything, especially episode 100. We have over 6,000 plays and we feel very fortunate to be going this long and to have such awesome listeners. Maybe, just maybe, if you were behind on eps, you took the time to catch up...maybe? The boys run through topics they missed like, the real meaning of Christmas and the holidays. Mary Jane is now legal in SO IL. The lines of people were out the door waiting for their chance to spend their holiday cash. Min Wage is going up in SO IL. Which sparks a convo about the economy and education. Given the climate, we should all participate in giving to those in need when we have it to give. Life is short. We gotta take advantage of the relationships we have with the ones we love. This new year, we need to enjoy each other. Then, there’s Star Wars…and other things. EP 100! https://unchurchedpodcast.wordpress.com Email: unchurchedpod@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unchurchedpod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/UnChurchedPod

Sean gives us a snippet of his new single. Vocals are on point

EP98: Pooping and Deadly Tweets Sean is back from Florida, his home state. The boys randomly talk about poop frequency and times. It gets weird. Secret time at 5min. 7min. 12min. 17min. The boys talk about a man who received a tweet that caused him a seizure. Big drama in little twitter town. Here is the article. Check it out and let us know what you think. https://wapo.st/2Es80oj https://unchurchedpodcast.wordpress.com Email: unchurchedpod@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unchurchedpod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/UnChurchedPod

EP97: Is Feeding the Homeless a Crime? The boys start off nerdy with dad jokes. Enjoy. Sean is enjoying nature. Michael has a nightly visitor that took him a few days to figure out what it was. Believe it or not, rabbits don’t lay eggs. Sean & Brooklyn are on their way to Florida. He’s most excited to see his grandparents. The boys discuss the importance of reaching back in the generations and capturing the moments of their lives...knowing that who we are is because of where they’ve been. A 90 year old man goes to jail twice in one week for feeding the homeless in Ft. Lauderdale. As a Christian nation, how is a law passed that will give you 60 days in jail or a $500 fine for feeding homeless people? Here is the article: https://bit.ly/35kvYNW Let us know what you think. https://unchurchedpodcast.wordpress.com Email: unchurchedpod@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unchurchedpod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/UnChurchedPod

EP96: Celebrity Jesus? Michael wishes he had a brain. Baby fog’s got him. So the boys recap the exciting football weekend. Michael doesn’t like emo. Genna tries American and Lafayette Coney Island for the first time. Kanye is now a Christian and has started a church and launched a gospel album. So the boys talk about it. https://unchurchedpodcast.wordpress.com Email: unchurchedpod@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unchurchedpod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/UnChurchedPod

Did you take advantage of black Friday or Cyber Monday? Maybe its a new thing, but couples are foregoing buying gifts for each other and saving their money on other things. Sean and Brooklyn are saving for a trip. Michael is buying stuff to automate their home. Sean gives an update on the Indian moon landing/ crash. Sean has been trying to quit cigarettes by using a mental training technique. He shares his reasons and the process that seems to be working well so far. The truth is, if you want to change your life, change your mind. https://unchurchedpodcast.wordpress.com

We do a turkey recap since the boys missed a recording. Sorry, not sorry. Sometimes we have to force ourselves to be social at family gatherings. Why is that? There are some places we go and have to be guarded. It gets annoying having to wear a face for family. Performance orientation sucks. So don’t do it. Sean and Brooklyn put up the Christmas tree and now it’s time to get in the spirit. So the boys give reasons why they are not ready for Christmas music. Sean would rather listen to “punk unplugged”. Michael will give it a try and report back. https://unchurchedpodcast.wordpress.com Email: unchurchedpod@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unchurchedpod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/UnChurchedPod

EP93: Happy Turkey Day Smoked or baked? That is the question. Max Hizzle shits in the doc office. Of course, dad recorded the moment. 2019 is almost over. The podcast has over 5k plays. And Sean’s old podcast “P27” is still getting plays. This is all pretty weird. But we are grateful. What are we thankful for? https://unchurchedpodcast.wordpress.com Email: unchurchedpod@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unchurchedpod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/UnChurchedPod

Podcasting has become a chore, but we are still having fun! Drew and Sean crack open a bottle of 12 year old Irish Whiskey. Michael is Jealous. Sean still has not finished watching the past week’s Georgia game. But we talk about it anyway. Drew is a huge star wars fan, and we nerd out about it a bit. We break down George Carlin’s 7 dirty words. “There are no bad words. Bad thoughts, bad intentions, but not bad words.” So, what are the rules? What words are ok? Where are the boundaries? https://bit.ly/2O3ykuh Then we get into conspiracy theories. https://unchurchedpodcast.wordpress.com Email: unchurchedpod@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unchurchedpod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/UnChurchedPod

Sean still has not caught up on last weekend’s football. Some people are finding our podcast and hate it. And that’s ok with us. It’s difficult for some to hang with bad language. But for those who can, we love to converse with you. The conversation goes back to football. NO Saints linebacker Demario Davis was fined $7000 over his “Man of God” headband. Good came out of it. He got the money back and donated it all to a hospital in his home town. https://cutt.ly/peKKeYV https://unchurchedpodcast.wordpress.com Email: unchurchedpod@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unchurchedpod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/UnChurchedPod

EP90: Santa, Football and Retirement After 4 attempts at recording, EP 90 is finally here. Sean has sucky internet. Sean and Brooklyn do a long weekend shoot for Santa. If Santa is real, he lives in SO IL. Michael has fun almost telling Sean about all the football he missed this weekend during the shoot. This leads to a convo about football in general. Is it too much to ask that the players keep their tempers in check while playing the game? At what point does the NFL make a serious stand against violence? If the penalty is great enough, will it mitigate the behavior? The conversation moves to a tweet from LBJ mentioning Tom Brady...which leads to a conversation about Pastors who don’t retire and pass the baton to the next generation... or raise up the next generation to succeed in their absence. https://unchurchedpodcast.wordpress.com Email: unchurchedpod@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unchurchedpod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/UnChurchedPod

EP89: Fall is Over Fall is over and the snow has come. Are you waiting for the snow to end before you shovel, or do you shovel during half time? The boys are in pain for this recording. Michael, because of shoveling snow. Sean, who knows what he did. We talk about how we deal with pain. How do you deal with yours? We should create an UnChurched Amazon Store… the boys talk about it. Sean was the victim of some road rage. Does he rise to the challenge of grace? It’s fun to talk about. When you’re on the tail end of someone’s wrath, its hard to show grace. https://unchurchedpodcast.wordpress.com Email: unchurchedpod@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unchurchedpod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/UnChurchedPod

Shout outs to Jason Barr and Drew Grabbe! Sean smoked pork loin in the crock pot. Michael talks about smoke rings and his latest smoke of a spatchcock chicken. Then the boys recap the close of the Founders Brewery case. Will they boys go back to drinking founders? Here’s the article they referenced: https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/4119563002 We pay tribute to the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. 29 men lost their lives this day. Today is the birthday of the Marine Corps. Founded in 1775. Sean almost went into the Marines. Semper Fi. We pay tribute to our Vets. Thank you for your service and fighting for our freedom. The boys finish up with a conversation about embracing our freedom to be Christians and what it means to really follow Christ. https://unchurchedpodcast.wordpress.com Email: unchurchedpod@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unchurchedpod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/UnChurchedPod https://hotmikecity.com
