We are two bothers talking about our lives and what it is to identify as a Christian in a world where so many struggle to know who they are and why they are here. We explore what is the meaning to life and seek to explore other easy questions.

There have been restrictions on religious practice because of Covid, but is Christianity a religious practice? Listen in as we delve into honor, the Church's response to Covid, and what this implies about what believe our Christianity to be.
Ever wonder what it's like to grow up with the supernatural being normal, like it was for Samuel? Check out interview with Paul's teenage daughter Emily about her experiences with angels. ...There was so much wisdom in this episode we had to cut such nuggets as “‘she’s from BC...’ ‘...that’s a heck of an old joke’” and “twizzlers are sugar jerky." You won't want to miss what we kept!
Hello again! We are back with a new name, new logo, and new season! Come join the conversation. identifypodcast2019@gmail.com

Hello listeners! Join us for a laid-back recap of season one, some fun interpersonal convo and a special announcement for the summer!!
In our final We Believe episode, we take a look at the Bible and the Word of God... why did I list them separately? Listen in to find out! ALSO, learn the best movies Paul has never seen, catch an interruption by one-year-old Lucas, and hear our medley of songs about belief (and basketball in space).
Nearing the end of our We Believe series, we tackle such hard-hitting topics as social distancing workplace transitions, the Nolan brothers ripping off Dickens, the metaphysics of conjoined twins, and the contextual appropriateness of poop jokes. We also take a look at Christian maturity, how it protects us from blunders, and its curious relationship with childlikeness.
In the next installment of our We Believe series, we delve into mystics--what are they, what is revival, and is it all Biblical? Come hear J. process a major life decision and that Paul has a leg up on Batman. Also, his kids are definitely banging on in the background and it can't be edited out, and J. doesn't understand Executive Order 30.
In this episode Paul ruins Casablanca, John learns all about popsicle sticks, we discuss Chicken Invaders and conspiracy theories about gravity, and we resume our We Believe series with a discussion on the Kingdom of Heaven, The Church, and the difference between the two.
This week we’re continuing the interruption of our regularly scheduled “We Believe” series to process the experience of social distancing. Perspective, peace, priorities, waxed toilet paper, and quarantinis... Tune in to hear our take on the serious, the silly, and the potential in this unique season of world history. Contact us at- IdentifyPodcast2019@gmail.com
In this episode we take a break from our “We Believe” series to offer some pre-quarantine COVID-19 observations, update on John’s Puerto Rico trip, and ask “how you doin’?” ...And actually to talk about disappointment. It happens, but how can we learn from it?
Continuing our We Believe series, we tackle tongues. Is it purposeful or just strange? Listen in as we dive into this spiritual gift and other topics such as our first listener question and the definition of a meme.
Today we talk about prophecy and what it is meant for. Does the prophetic exist today? Does prophesying make you a prophet? Listen in to hear our thoughts.
This week we are staring a series of episodes about why we believe what we believe. While certain aspects of our theological bent have been mentioned, we decided to take time to state our views plainly, in the hope it creates more dialogue with all of you. :) Here in part 1, we are discussing apostleship and the origins of cessationist theology.
This week we’re talking about the marriage of the seven mountains and the fivefold. What are they? Listen to find that out, and how these concepts form a foundation for biblical church dynamics that empowers the relational understanding of the great commission we talked about in the last episode. Identifypodcast@gmail.com
This week we’re processing the idea that all things are sacred. What is the nature of the Great Commission, and does fulfilling look different than we’ve been taught? What is the difference between performing and being? And is it legitimate to prioritize relationship even when it comes to evangelizing? Dig in with us as we unpack these questions in our own lives. IdentifyPodcast2019@gmail.com Lydia is found in Acts 16.
This week we take a second look at faith. Coming from a conceptual angle, we’re breaking down faith as it relates to Western society—and how Christianity is not actually Western. Identifypodcast2019@gmail.com
This week we tackle the subject of faith. Is it blind? Is it the thing that gets us through the process? Or is it just a Country music singer? Idenitifypodcast2019@gmail.com
This week we dig into the day to day of our own Christian walks to illustrate this whole “relationship” thing. Wondering what it looks like? Tune in. Identifypodcast2019@gmail.com
This week we take a side-door approach to talking about process by giving a live demonstration. What follows is an honest illustration of how relational Christianity functions in real life. Enjoy! Quote of the week: You may not know where you’re going. Know who you’re going with. The Youtube video we talked about with Molly Skaggs https://youtu.be/nGncW_ueyHA
This week we talk about the personhood of God and how it changed the way we practice our faith. Specifically, we look at how it makes Christianity a relationship instead of a religion. “Why would you want a God dad who only has Sunday custody?” Keywords — religion, relationship, Christianity, God.
This week we wrap up our conversation of postmodernism with a call back to the song lyric in part one, more unpacking of the nuances differences between maturity and immaturity, and a visit from Paul’s 5 year old. Thanks for listening! Email us at: Identifypodcast2019@gmail.com
In this episode we begin a discussion of post-modernism and how it differs from and is similar to Christianity. What is post-modernism? Can you be a Christian and a post-modernist? What is wet-willy theology? And is the multitude of truths a sign of maturity or immaturity? Listen in as we unpack it this week on Identify! Contact us at- Identifypodcast2019@gmail.com
