In our chat, we dive headfirst into everything from the mind-boggling art of circular breathing in music to the age-old debate of optimism versus pessimism. We even manage to make financial management sound funny—because, let's face it, money is a mystery wrapped in an enigma, especially when cryptocurrency gets involved. We reminisce about the good ol' days of roller skating and the joys (and injuries) of parenting. We also take a moment to laugh at ourselves while trying to master the art of accepting compliments—because who knew self-worth could be so complicated? Our conversation meanders through the hilarity of societal norms, like why certain drinks are "gendered," and we even touch on the evolution of Botox from beauty to medicine. And, of course, we can't forget the fall's impact on nature and the ridiculousness of cleaning products. It's a wild ride, but hey, that's just how we roll!

I'm recording today from my hotel room in Macau, China. Well, the intro and outtro were from today, but the bulk of today's podcast is borrowed from the Macau podcast I did on location on THIS DAY last year. I love being in this city, and the opportunities that it brings.

Last but not least, to learn more about our ministry endeavors or get one of my missionary biographies, visit PrayGiveGo.us! Why did I begin the Prison Pulpit series? The goal is to remind everyone to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us to do (“Remember those in prison, as bound with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.”). I’ve done this by sharing imprisoned Pastor Wang Yi’s writings in China, but since we have none of his writings from WITHIN prison walls, I’ve turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice, or reminders, or sermons, from prison. The Prison Pulpit. Both New and Old Content Today will be a little different as I’m going to share some of what I said exactly one year ago today from right here in Macau. After this short introduction, you will hear me share three things from the podcast I recorded on this day last year: 1) An overview of Macau 2) The Legacy of Pastor Lucky 3) An inside look at the Memoirs of William Milne (which has connections to Macau). But first, let me remind you why October 1st is an important day in China. Next, let me tell you why Pastor Lucky would be proud, and how you can pray today… And lastly, before you hear much more about Macau, a couple of (regrettably) vague prayer requests for some dear friends of ours in China. . .

Against the Machine! (Some Reflections on Paul Kingsnorth's New Book) [The Pugcast]

Paul Kingsnorth, the award winning novelist and essayist has a new nonfiction book coming out and Chris got an advance review copy. Ostensibly it's about artificial intelligence, but what Kingsnorth is really aiming as is modernity itself, aka the post-enlightenment West. And he's got a good point. There are two Wests--the old West of Christendom, and the new West--what Kingsnorth refers to as The Machine. Paul would like to go home, but where can you call home when the machine has colonized the world? The guys find themselves largely in agreement with Paul's take on things. There are quibbles here and there, but over all the Pugs give it 5 stars. Tune in to find out why.

In this episode of the Riff Session, we dive headfirst into a hilarious and nostalgic chat about our favorite childhood cartoons, the wild evolution of animated shows, and the delightful chaos of parenting—especially when it comes to naming our little ones. We also find ourselves in the middle of a comedic showdown between GPS apps during family road trips, showcasing the quirks of modern tech and our relationships. As we navigate the intricacies of naming kids and pets, we share personal stories and humorous insights, pondering the significance of names and the whims of our family members. Oh, and let's not forget our detour into the fascinating world of insects, particularly love bugs, where we draw some questionable parallels between their antics and our own relationships. Through laughter and a bit of self-mockery, we uncover the complexities and joys of naming in both human and animal realms.

In this podcast episode, Dr. Michael Thiessen, Pastor Nate Wright, and Dr. Joe Boot discuss the implications of Charlie Kirk's death and the church's response to it. They express concern over the reluctance of many church leaders to acknowledge Kirk's martyrdom and the broader cultural implications of this silence. The conversation delves into the truncation of the gospel, the political nature of the Christian message, and the need for the church to engage with cultural issues rather than retreating into silence. They emphasize the importance of recognizing the gospel as a transformative force in society and the necessity of addressing violence and injustice from a biblical perspective.

Charlie Kirk vs. The Lie of Neutral Politics [CrossPolitic Show]

In this episode of CrossPolitic, Gabe and Toby address the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk and deliver a wake-up call to the American church. They argue that the church has catastrophically failed in its duty as shepherds, receiving an "F minus" grade for allowing wolves to infiltrate education systems while pastors refuse to warn their congregations about the dangers of public schools. They critique the humanistic unity message being promoted in response to Kirk's murder, explaining how this false religion, which elevates humanity rather than God as the ultimate standard, actually breeds the very violence it claims to oppose. The conversation takes a hard turn toward biblical truth, with the hosts drawing from 2 Corinthians 6 to emphasize that there can be no unity between light and darkness, between Christ and those who hate Him. They challenge the "thou shalt be nice" mentality that has captured much of American Christianity, calling instead for believers to recognize the fundamental war between Christianity and humanism that has raged for over 150 years.
