After a long break we are back to finish off the season. This episode we talk about the importance of having fun together as a family.

This episode we talk about enjoyable things that could turn addictive or overindulgent, and why we shouldn’t necessarily run away from these things. We talk about skydiving, wine, sassy theologians, and our Dodge Caravan.

How do we ensure that pleasure stays “good” and doesn’t move over to the “dark side”? How do we make sure it doesn’t grow to take over our lives? Listen to hear us discuss this chapter in the book.

This episode we talk about the signs of impending doom in your spiritual life. Sound alarming? Listen to find out what they are. You might also hear us talk about the sea shanty phase of our lives. We make reference to each of the following songs in our too-long sidebar about men-with-beards-singing-songs-in-boats.

Here’s the Wellerman video that went crazy viral

Willy’s favourite French/English/Hawaiian sea shanty called John Kanak

My two favourite are Four Hours and Bonnie Ship The Diamond, both by The Longest Johns

This episode we cover 2 chapters of Pure Pleasure: ‘Practical Pleasure’ and ‘What’s your pleasure’. We talk about how fun and enjoyment can be the cure to issues we think are spiritual, as well as just practically what are things we do to have fun!

This episode we talk about Biblical examples of partying, heaven, more potlucks, enjoying church, and what Gary Thomas calls The Tithe That Is Never Taught.
