The Guys With Bibles, Lee Jones and Scott Woodruff of the "Guys With Bibles" podcast sat down at the Simmering Thoughts mics to look at man, and what makes up a man. It's a wide ranging discussion, covering dichotomy/trichotomy, science fiction and artificial intelligence, and that even when we look at man being made of parts, we're still just one whole man.

Just about every Christian I know has been through a dry season- when the Word of God isn't rich, prayer time is a fight, and just feeling connected to God and his saints at all is fleeting. How can we walk through those seasons? What gets us there? Ryan is joined from the Front Pew by guest host Chris Griggs, pastor of Denver Baptist Church, Denver, NC to talk through the importance of the gospel and God's promises in these seasons. Oh, and Ryan demonstrates that he isn't exactly up on pop culture references. At all. Unfortunately, we do have a change in the podcast, as Chris Dean is unable to continue as co-host. Please take the time to send Chris a 'thank you' note via Twitter (@DeanChris) or on Facebook. I am grateful and honored to have been able to work with Chris on this project over the last year and to get to know him. He has helped me in many ways. I pray God will bless him and his family.

Ryan is joined by Matt Capps, pastor of Fairview Baptist Church in Apex, NC, and co-host of The Front Pew podcast. We discuss kindness and gentleness as Fruit of the Spirit. Why is it so hard to be kind? When is it most difficult? How can we cultivate these fruit? Oh, and we use a ton of metaphor and analogy. We did skip peace and patience for now, though that episode is in the works, too. Make sure to share and to rate and review.
Ryan is joined by Amy Mantravadi to discuss joy as a fruit of the Spirit. Where is joy found? How can one be joyful during trouble? How can we help cultivate joy around us?

Chris and Ryan embark on a series focusing on the fruit of the Spirit, beginning with love. What is love? Why is it so hard for us to love? How can we stir ourselves and others up to love? Grab your Bible (because we record with ours open and quote freely from it) and settle in. Enjoy!
Chris and Ryan get a head start on the next holiday by discussing giving thanks. This is the "soft" beginning to a series on the fruit of the Spirit. Though thankfulness isn't given in Paul's (non-exhaustive) list, we'd argue that it ought to be at least an honorary member. This episode has been tricky to get through the editing process. We're thankful to be able to post it! ENJOY!
Chris and Ryan begin by discussion what's been simmering in their minds this week. From there, we discuss Twitter use in the days of 280, reflections on the Hand of God, rest and prayer, God's provision, and the connection of mercy and kindness and patience in Scripture- and in our lives. A brief mention is made of Mike Cosper's latest book: Recapturing the Wonder. Music: Funky Duck, by Larry Davis/Riff Picker, www.lgdavis.com.

Welcome to Simmering Thoughts! Ryan and Chris discuss when Christians ought to hold their tongues. Yes, an ironic topic for an opening podcast episode. Follow us @SimmerThoughts, @bandmankers, and @DeanChris. Music: Funky Duck, by Larry Davis/Riff Picker, www.lgdavis.com. Used thanks to Creative Commons licensing and a generous composer!
Thanks for checking out this introductory, mini episode (testing the system!). Ryan shares a brief reflection on Colossians 1:3. Follow us on Twitter @SimmerThoughts or Ryan @bandmanakers. We're glad you found us! We look forward to more episodes SOON!
