Meaningful Miscellanea

It's Christmastime with Sandra McCracken! We loved talking with her about her Christmases growing up and all other miscellanea. We also debuted a new Christmas jingle. So grab some turkey and some mistletoe and have a listen.

Aaaaaaand we're back! This is a very special episode with songwriter Tom Douglas. We talk about his performance storytelling show, Love, Tom as well as what he and Richie have been working on together. We met at Tom's studio in Nashville for this great conversation. Enjoy!

We got to talk to Jacob's former pastor, Darwin Jordan. This week's miscellanea include growing up in Alabama, The Beatles, and a sex book!

Jacob got to sit down with Fr. Ron Rolheiser in San Antonio. Some of the topics they discussed were restlessness, prayer, and understanding our seasons of life with God as we get older. Some of the books that were mentioned by Father Ron are The Holy Longing, Sacred Fire, Prayer: Our Deepest Longing, Wrestling with God. Also, check out his encouraging little book, Domestic Monastery!

It's Spring! Well, almost anyway. We talked about spring and the importance of keeping your heart open. We also had some Michael Jackson easter eggs to discuss! Oh, and we have a new sponsor this week!

Merry Christmas! We were joined once again by Brian Habig to talk all things Christmas! Christmas memories, Mariah Carey, and favorite carol lyrics. It's a Christmas buffet so grab a plate and dig in!

It's Thanksgiving! We had a great time chatting with Ross Lockwood this week. We also enjoyed a new Musical Easter Egg! Pull up a chair and let's talk turkey...and goats.

We're back with author Alan Noble talking about his new book, You Are Not Your Own.  TS Eliot reads his Four Quartets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga8tQrG4ZSw

It's the dog days of summer and we are here to talk about it! We also had a little fun with the Beach Boys.

We're back! We had a great conversation with the multi-talented and all around great guy, Dave Barnes. We covered a wide range of topics like Phil Collins, songwriting, vocation, a Van Halen song and a guy named Phil Luggenbottom.

Join us for as we discuss simplicity and Advent waiting. We also get into some good musical easter eggs.

It's Thanksgiving week so we're getting ready for the big day. Lots of food and memories to discuss and Richie plays his song, "The Table." Happy Thanksgiving!

Brian Habig is the pastor of Downtown Presbyterian Church in Greenville, South Carolina. We talked a lot about his hometown of Jackson, MS and how our relationships to our hometowns are such a part of our story, the brokenness and the beauty.

Harrison Scott Key is the author of Congratulations, Who Are You Again? and The World's Largest Man. He may be the patron saint of Southernerds everywhere. He is a professor at The Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, GA.  We had a great time talking to him about humor, the uniqueness of growing up in the south, and some good talk about drums in church.  We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.

This week we talk about how our memories and senses are closely linked. Richie sings one of his songs, Being Alive. We've also got a new jingle to debut along with an exciting (nerdy) musical easter egg.

Join us for Episode 1 as we talk about longing, seasons, Mick Jagger and what's giving us life these days.
