Use Your Words

This week the guys (ok mostly Paul) talks about why Paul left Android, Google, and the various associated Google services.  While it is true that the person who leaked the documents is a conspiracy theorist (and would be a great friend of Josh) - that does not taint the raw data in the eyes of Paul.  While Paul has already made up his mind - he does remind everyone to make up their own mind after reading the data themselves.   Interact with the show: Facebook: https://fb.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Fb messenger: https://m.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/useyourwordspodcast/ Twitter: @UYWPodcast Email: uywords@gmail.com Website: http://uywords.com   Interact with Aaron on Social Media: Instagram: amusicman95 Snapchat: RonJohn2395 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DaMusicman95   Interact with Paul on Social Media: Twitter: @pdearmen Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/armentpau

This week the guys sit down to talk about friendship.  We start with airing some grievances with each other but what they have learned about interacting with others due to those things.  We also discuss why friendship is so important in this day and age - especially in the days of online-only culture.   Interact with the show: Facebook: https://fb.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Fb messenger: https://m.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/useyourwordspodcast/ Twitter: @UYWPodcast Email: uywords@gmail.com Website: http://uywords.com   Interact with Aaron on Social Media: Instagram: amusicman95 Snapchat: RonJohn2395 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DaMusicman95   Interact with Paul on Social Media: Twitter: @pdearmen Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/armentpau

This week Paul was frustrated with the lack of originality in media.  Hollywood and Disney specifically.  As of November, 2018 there were over 100 remakes or reboots in the works.  Instead of going with new content that had never been seen before, the same old works were being re-hashed to milk the wallets of those who want to be nostalgic.  Is Paul going overboard?  And why is Josh quiet on this episode?   Interact with the show: Facebook: https://fb.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Fb messenger: https://m.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/useyourwordspodcast/ Twitter: @UYWPodcast Email: uywords@gmail.com Website: http://uywords.com   Interact with Aaron on Social Media: Instagram: amusicman95 Snapchat: RonJohn2395 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DaMusicman95   Interact with Paul on Social Media: Twitter: @pdearmen Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/armentpau

Josh is on vacation yet again - but that doesn't mean that we have to stop.  This week Paul and Aaron invited one of their youth group kids along for the conversation as they talk about concerts.  People enjoy concerts - and from the number of videos online we see people are going to them non-stop.  But are concerts beneficial?  What about detriments from going to concerts?  If you go to heavy metal shows can you injure your brain from headbanging?  Also - why would a person take their child into a wall of death?  We discuss all of this and more while trying to figure out one question - are concerts overrated or not?

This week Aaron wanted to know what the coping methods of the other guys were.  This started out as just a list of the coping methods and eventually turned into a conversation about if a healthy method could somehow be turned unhealthy.

It was only a matter of time until the Enforcer graced us with her presence here at Use Your Words - and this week she joined us for a discussion on Modesty/Purity in the modern age and provided her insight into the subject as well as asked some probing questions of the guys as well.   Interact with the show: Facebook: https://fb.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Fb messenger: https://m.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/useyourwordspodcast/ Twitter: @UYWPodcast Email: uywords@gmail.com Website: http://uywords.com   Interact with Aaron on Social Media: Instagram: amusicman95 Snapchat: RonJohn2395 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DaMusicman95   Interact with Paul on Social Media: Twitter: @pdearmen Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/armentpau

What should've been a peaceful July 4th holiday turned into a political conversation due to Nike recalling shoes due to them featuring the Betsy Ross flag and some people calling it out as a symbol of oppression.  Paul and Aaron talk about this - with a few interjections from a special studio guest.   Interact with the show: Facebook: https://fb.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Fb messenger: https://m.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/useyourwordspodcast/ Twitter: @UYWPodcast Email: uywords@gmail.com Website: http://uywords.com   Interact with Aaron on Social Media: Instagram: amusicman95 Snapchat: RonJohn2395 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DaMusicman95   Interact with Paul on Social Media: Twitter: @pdearmen Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/armentpau

Josh is back this week with some life-changing news.  He walks us through everything surrounding this life-changing news including the fact that he lost count on the number of mimosas he had during his little vacation.  We also find out what Josh does and doesn't like about being a content creator and Josh's fascination with boats come through loud and clear.   Interact with the show: Facebook: https://fb.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Fb messenger: https://m.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/useyourwordspodcast/ Twitter: @UYWPodcast Email: uywords@gmail.com Website: http://uywords.com   Interact with Aaron on Social Media: Instagram: amusicman95 Snapchat: RonJohn2395 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DaMusicman95   Interact with Paul on Social Media: Twitter: @pdearmen Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/armentpau

This week Josh is on a cruise with the Enforcer so Paul and Aaron do some catching up.  Paul brings up some news that is not only odd, but things that he can see Aaron doing as well as his own generation doing.  We also have some big news that will make things better for us - catch up with us.  This is an episode to learn more about us - and for us to learn more about each other.   Interact with the show: Facebook: https://fb.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Fb messenger: https://m.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/useyourwordspodcast/ Twitter: @UYWPodcast Email: uywords@gmail.com Website: http://uywords.com   Interact with Aaron on Social Media: Instagram: amusicman95 Snapchat: RonJohn2395 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DaMusicman95   Interact with Paul on Social Media: Twitter: @pdearmen Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/armentpau

Paul finally did it.  He got under Josh's skin enough to make him keep on the topic but also go off the rails a little.  This week the guys talk about physician-assisted suicide/euthanasia and if a person should have the right to elect to have one of these procedures performed if they are terminally ill and of sound mind.  Josh and Paul may not see eye to eye on this - but at the end of the day, they were able to walk away as friends still.

Josh's Thoughts on Modern Day Racism. This didn't fit in with our full episode - but thought it was worth enough to publish as a standalone minisode.

In this episode, Josh wanted to talk about if social media should be regulated by the government to stop the spread of fake news.  To make it a little more interesting Paul decided to argue for government regulation with Josh and Aaron taking the opposing view.  We also learned what medical procedure Aaron has thought of - and honestly - it's a little weird.     Interact with the show: Facebook: https://fb.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Fb messenger: https://m.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/useyourwordspodcast/ Twitter: @UYWPodcast Email: uywords@gmail.com Website: http://uywords.com   Interact with Aaron on Social Media: Instagram: amusicman95 Snapchat: RonJohn2395 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DaMusicman95   Interact with Paul on Social Media: Twitter: @pdearmen Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/armentpau

This week we have a longer discussion than normal (thanks Aaron) as we talk about a topic that is going across the United States - weed.  We especially come at this from this perspective - if Christians can drink - what about weed?  What about this plant makes it more or less acceptable to use?  What are the thoughts on it?  Are there any hard facts which point one way or the other?  While we don't come to any definitive answers - we do at least start the conversation.  Chime in - let us know what you think as well.

This week is a special week as we conclude our episodes dealing with mental health.  This week we have multiple people who joined us including those who have helped Paul through his issues with mental health and helped him get treatment.  These people include Andy and Heather Peterson - friends of the three guys.  Pastor David Sincock - who helped Paul get into a hospital for treatment (and even drove him up there).  And finally, Peter Hanson who is a youth group member in the youth group Paul, Aaron, and Josh volunteer with.  Peter brings a unique view in the fact that not only does he have a youth leader with depression, but he also has a very close friend who is dealing with this as well.

We continue with our discussion on mental health this month and Paul brings up the topic of what the church has done right and not so right in helping those with mental health.  We find out through the conversation that Paul and Aaron disagree on a few things regarding mental health - but we can agree to disagree on a few things and not let it dampen our friendship.  Find out what we disagree on, find out how many tangents Josh takes us on (hint: a few),  and find out what Aaron's new favorite word is as well.

May is mental health month.  The guys talk about Paul's own journey through mental health from his depression, his inpatient stint at a Psychiatric Hospital, his change from before to after treatment, and what lessons they learned through this including how Josh used to think that sometimes people with depression just needed to "Suck it up buttercup" and over the past year has learned that isn't the case.     Interact with the show: Facebook: https://fb.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Fb messenger: https://m.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/useyourwordspodcast/ Twitter: @UYWPodcast Email: uywords@gmail.com Website: http://uywords.com   Interact with Aaron on Social Media: Instagram: amusicman95 Snapchat: RonJohn2395 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DaMusicman95   Interact with Paul on Social Media: Twitter: @pdearmen Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/armentpau

All three of the guys are on trips this week - either for work (Paul) for fun (Josh) or for personal introspection/fun (Aaron) so we decided to talk about some of our favorite trips with each other - the funny and the cringy.  We also learned why Aaron was so intent on watching a basketball game in Florida one evening.   Interact with the show: Facebook: https://fb.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Fb messenger: https://m.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/useyourwordspodcast/ Twitter: @UYWPodcast Email: uywords@gmail.com Website: http://uywords.com   Interact with Aaron on Social Media: Instagram: amusicman95 Snapchat: RonJohn2395 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DaMusicman95   Interact with Paul on Social Media: Twitter: @pdearmen Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/armentpau

We hear all the time that peace is important.  Above all things, people appear to want to strive towards peace - but in reality and in our everyday lives - peace sometimes seems to be the last thing on our minds.  How does peace tie into forgiveness? How do we forgive and initiate peace with someone when we may no longer be able to communicate with them?  How do approach someone we have harmed?  While we may not have all the answers we have some thoughts on all of this.   Interact with the show: Facebook: https://fb.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Fb messenger: https://m.me/UseYourWordsPodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/useyourwordspodcast/ Twitter: @UYWPodcast Email: uywords@gmail.com Website: http://uywords.com   Interact with Aaron on Social Media: Instagram: amusicman95 Snapchat: RonJohn2395 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DaMusicman95   Interact with Paul on Social Media: Twitter: @pdearmen Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/armentpau

The label millennial has a lot of stereotypes associated with it.  Some of these, like all stereotypes, are true but not everything is as simple as it seems.  We look into and talk about some of these things, and Josh and Aaron being millennials themselves have some insight into all of this from personal experience as well.
