What do you talk about in the family room? It's movies and mercy. Fashion and faith. Funny stories and redemptive ones. It's forgiveness and fast food...Cane's of course. For all the friends at CCC, I hope you enjoy.
Mark Tiller is in the Famlee Room! As the keeper of the grounds at the Christ Covenant Church of Baptism and Ministry, we ask Mark for his reflections on doing the ordinary things for the glory of god, like changing a lightbulb or trimming the bushes (1:03). Praise God for this work! We also discuss his mustache (naturally), engagement story, being a "poppy", and the secret to having a fulfilling career (I could've made this the episode title, but it would've sounded like Mark wrote the latest self-help business leadership book). Stay for the speed round and you'll have this question answered: What is the origin of the name Tiller (29:40)? You want to know!
Carli David is in the Famlee Room! We discuss getting "real" with people, boldness vs. bluntness, first date nerves, and JD Jr (0:50). She even gives a free lesson in speech therapy for all the parents out there. In the speed round, Carli gives her elevator pitch for Marvel movies and convinces us she is not that competitive - except when JD wins the tennis match (24:42).
My neighbor, college roommate, and fellow church member, Matt Duris, joins the Famlee Room! We discuss meeting Casey for the first time, summers in Tampa, why Matt doesn't have a pet (his two siblings are veterinarians), the fundamentals of christian counseling, his passion for helping others, and so much more (1:17)! No speed round this week as I test the analogy king on his ability to turn common objects into spiritual principles with absolutely no preparation (22:59). Can he turn chewing gum into a spiritual principle? Listen to find out!
Blake Price joins the Famlee Room! We discuss Star Wars, his reflections on 20 years in vocational ministry, front yard living, evangelism as a community, and much more (0:48)! We ponder if God is funny (spoiler alert...yes!) and ponder a better theology of humor. In the speed round, Blake dishes his worst idea for a business and tries to defend the Baton Rouge roads (26:29).
Famlee Room time! We welcome Jean Raggio to the Famlee Room to discuss being a mother of a missionary, speaking virtually versus speaking in person, and living in the same neighborhood where she grew up (1:16). In the speed round, Jean unveils the story of her engagement to Michael (27:18). As they say, the rest is history!
The Famlee Room lights are back on!! We are joined by Jonathan Welch to discuss the restoration of the podcast, his passion for music alongside his wife, and the intentional process behind the songs we sing on Sunday mornings (2:00). Plus, we tackle the speed round and determine Jonathan actually likes to dance and be loud (23:03). Stay for his favorite part of the renovated sanctuary. Thanks for joining!
Catherine Daniel is in the Famlee Room! We discuss stepping out in faith and consider how God changes our circumstances and us (1:13). Also, we talk (alliteration alert!) providence, period pieces, and professional mall walking. Plus, Catherine dishes out her favorite Baton Rouge coffee and one thing you probably didn't know about Loyd in the Speed Round (21:21)!
This podcast title is not clickbait! Over the next 25 minutes, Michael Siciliano will somehow connect the dots between these three seemingly unrelated items (2:02). And it's a fantastic time, though you might ask for clarification regarding the dungeons segment. Thanks to Michael for joining!
Versa Stickle is in the Famlee Room! We discuss her famous bread recipe and its origins, the merger of Southside Baptist and Cornerstone Chapel, and the joy in walking (1:00). Plus a NEW segment before the speed round (21:12)! Don't miss her answers, and my lame segment title.
The city of Dothan should be funding our podcast at this point as another Dothan hometown hero joins the Famlee Room. Thanks Dothan! We discuss Caleb's vocation (teacher and high school football coach) and why he loves to teach (0:45). We also get Caleb talking early mornings, bbq and growing up with Casey (20:00). Enjoy!
Josh Motta joins the Famlee Room! After a brief 3-month hiatus, the Famlee Room is back and better than ever. Josh joins to discuss his beloved hometown, Dothan, Alabama (1:04). Plus, how did Josh become a christian, what were his favorite classes in seminary, and how did he end up in Baton Rouge? Speed Round includes Josh selling us on his favorite burger joint, and also suggests a great up-and-coming band (25:05). I may check out the band myself. Thanks for joining the Famlee Room!!
Lesley Branscum joins the Famlee Room! We discuss living overseas and growing up a missionary kid (1:22). Also, we talk meeting Shawn before Lesley gladly gives a legendary 15 minutes of fame story. Thanks, Lesley! Speed round is lively (31:51)!!
Shouts to Kamela (or Kami) Gallardo for coming on the Famlee Room (1:42)! This one has several great stories involving her friendship with the Stickles (including a Wednesday dinner tradition). Plus, we talk graduate school, knowledge overload, and being quarantined from her husband. Sleeper favorite movie pick in the speed round (19:52)!!!
The man behind the intro music joins the Famlee Room! Kent Morris casually drops by from Mississippi to discuss the story behind the intro music, the difficulties of writing an album for his senior project, and whether or not it takes courage to create music (1:00). He then puts Slaughter, La., on the map during the speed round (18:40)!
Jennifer McGehee is in the Famlee Room! We discuss her reading habits, the tie between fiction and empathy, chronic illness and becoming empty nesters (1:25). Also, which one of her three kids can make her laugh the hardest (20:20)? Speed round!!!
John McGehee joins the Famlee Room! We discuss employment and simple pursuits. Also, where does John's humor originate (1:28)? Come for the conversation; stay for a super-serious story from his first year of marriage! ...just kidding (25:20).
Look out! Levi Slack joins the Famlee Room to discuss the legacy of the Sweetbriar house (including his favorite roommate from time past), life transitions, people watching, and how he ended up at CCC (1:15). A speed round of questions follows (19:24)!
Episode 1! Carla Edwards joins the Famlee Room to discuss Matt's home office, trying to parent well during quarantine, Dexter, and the ingredients for her gumbo of friendship (2:05). We finish with a speed round of questions (24:25)!
What do you talk about in the family room? You might talk about football or fashion. Movies or moving weights. But you don't only talk about that. You also talk about the gospel. Christ and being a christian. Faithfulness and failures. I hope that's what you hear on this podcast. I hope the conversations feel like we're all sitting around the family room. This podcast is faith and fast food…Cane's of course. Enjoy it friends of CCC!
