From an Open House

We are joined by Emily Titus of "The Crew" to talk about power and what it means to be human. We know that God is powerful and that he chose to give us that power (what the heck?!), and we wrestle with what that means as we look around us and see so many abuses of power. This is Part 1 of a two-part episode with Emily. Stay tuned for part 2 in two weeks!

The not-so-triumphal return of From and Open House! We are back, baby! This episode we talk about what it means to "go on mission", discuss what the difference between the little 'c' and big 'C' church is, bring a vague political conversation into the mix, and end up inspiring our selves. What. A. Journey.

Clothes, Coffee, Chocolate, Bottled Water. We discuss what it means to be a good steward of what God has given us, specifically diving into environmental sustainability and slave labor. Well give you a lot of helpful suggestions, but we'll also tell you too many times to "Just Google It".

Celebrating our 10th Episode! We go through 10 ways that we believe can make you a good roommate and talk about why we appreciate living together!

We share about our unique, God-given identities, how we discovered them, and what it looks like in our lives to hear from God. Our podcast is based on another set of podcasts by AYM (Antioch Youth Ministry) where Jamie Winship talks to teens about hearing from God and identity. You can find them on Apple podcasts by searching "AYM Summer Camp" and listening to the identity episodes parts 1-4!

What are the best pieces of advice we've received? Do we feel wiser now in our 30s? What's knowledge got to to with it? We're discussing wisdom, knowledge, responsibility, and how our age plays into all of that. Spoiler: God's got the wisdom.

What do we do to create sustainability in our lives and avoid burning out? We talk boundaries, communication, advocating for ourselves, and creating time that is just ours. We also go on a too-long tangent about bad Cinderella-themed movies, but we like to keep y'all entertained. By the way, Jami did edit this podcast all on her own, so get ready for some mediocre quality editing!

Join us as we take a journey into our former lives as less self-aware young adults and teenagers by reading some of our old journal entries. A just for fun and laughs episode with some great insights into our forming personalities prior to becoming more self-actualized human beings. We hope you enjoy laughing along with us and keep listening to future episodes if you're bored with this one. 100 bonus points if you get the reference for the title of this episode.

This episode brought to you by perpetually single 30-Somethings. We are joined by our friend Kevin Zimmerman and attempt to raise some awareness about the #SingleLife. We talk hanging out with couples, Singleness and the church, and the best and worst things about living life solo.

We catch up with our friends Alex and Annie Duarte in the Great Down Under! We learn more about their band, Travellers and how God called them to live in Australia. We get in deep on what it means to hear from God and what it looks like to show grace to one another. We dive deep and if you want to be reminded of how deeply God loves you and how much he wants a relationship with you, then this is the podcast you've been waiting for!

After an inevitable update about Abby's hair, our friend Hannah Robbins (now Hannah Busko) joins us for a conversation about praying out loud and online dating. You'd think these things don't tie together, but just you wait to hear how Hannah makes it happen for us. How comfortable are you praying out loud? Do you despise online dating as much as Jami? Listen and find out on our 3rd ever episode!

What are NDEs anyway? Abby really wants to share with you and Jami doesn't really have anything to say. What does it mean to share the Gospel? When should we be doing it? How should we be doing it? We don't answer any of these questions, but we do talk in circles about them.

Get to know the people behind From an Open House Podcast. We surprise our friend Blake (who encouraged us to start this podcast) with a phone call. We take turns introducing each other and talk about how we met. Also, how do we feel about swearing? Enjoy and be kind - it is our first episode after all.
