Do you have to be religious to live a good life? In this thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation, Shannon McAdam and Jack Hindle explore what it really means to be a "good person" through the lenses of honesty, self-reflection, compassion, grace, and community. Together they wrestle with questions about spirituality, accountability, human nature, and the challenge of choosing what is right over what is comfortable.

Mondta nevetve, majd hozzátette: „De most inkább csússzunk át ezen a cukorszirupos helyzeten!”En: "You know, Zsófia, supposedly this sculpture symbolizes my heart, as it melts everyone's heart when they think of your coffee," he said laughingly, then added, "But now let's slip through this sugary syrupy situation instead!"Hu: Zsófia elnevette magát, cinkosan rámosolygott Lászlóra, és együtt kezdték el feltakarítani a cukros káoszt.En: Zsófia burst into laughter, gave László a conspiratorial smile, and they began to clean up the sugary chaos together.Hu: Lászlónak sikerült a humorával elérni, hogy Zsófia figyelmét felkeltse, és a kis balesetük végül kellemes pillanat lett kettejük között.En: László managed to capture Zsófia's attention with his humor, and their little mishap eventually became a pleasant moment between them.Hu: Végül, amikor minden tiszta lett, Zsófia és László még egy kávét iszogattak, és beszélgettek egészen záróráig.En: Finally, when everything was clean, Zsófia and László sipped another coffee and chatted until closing time.Hu: Abban a pillanatban László rájött, hogy nem kell másnak tettetnie magát, elég önmagának lenni ahhoz, hogy valaki szívét megérintse.En: At that moment, László realized he didn't need to pretend to be someone else; just being himself was enough to touch someone's heart.Hu: A nap lassan véget ért, de László boldog volt, mert tudta, hogy a legszebb cukorszobrot a szívében hordozza, amely Zsófia mosolyát rajzolja meg újra és újra.En: The day slowly came to an end, but László was happy, knowing that he carried the most beautiful sugar sculpture in his heart, which drew Zsófia's smile again and again.

The Philadelphia Months series rolls on, and this time Matt cracks open something unexpected: Tech Blonde Ale. What starts as a casual pour quickly turns into one of the biggest surprises of the series so far. Brewed by Ship Bottom Brewery but branded under 215 Libations (yes, that 215), this episode dives into a fascinating look at contract brewing, joint ventures, and the sometimes confusing business side of beer. Oh—and there's an NBA connection you won't see coming. But let's get to the real story: the beer. Matt—self-proclaimed tough critic of blonde ales—finds himself genuinely impressed by a brew that delivers far more complexity than expected. From bready, biscuity malt character to delicate floral hops with a hint of lavender and subtle peach/pear esters, this one hits a rare sweet spot: balance with personality. Along the way, Matt breaks down the beer BJCP-style, shares why blonde ales are harder to nail than they seem, and reflects on his own brewing journey—including the story behind his medal-winning “Miscalculated Blonde.” Final verdict? A near-top-tier score and a new favorite from the lineup. If you think blonde ales are boring… this episode might change your mind.

Host Jeremy C. Park interviews the award-winning chef, best-selling author, restaurateur, and featured television personality, Ben Vaughn, who shares his journey to becoming Founder and CEO of The Center of Culinary Cultivation and The Sow Project, and Culinary Director for Brewed to Serve Restaurant Group and Be Nice Hospitality Group. During the interview, Ben talks about his journey from a 30-year career as a chef to launching the nonprofit organization that is focused on transforming culinary workforce development through a no-cost, paid apprenticeship program that combines on-the-job training, industry mentorship, and job placements for individuals seeking a new path forward in Memphis. The program currently serves high school students and adults. It has grown from teaching basic cooking skills in a home kitchen to operating a fully developed 6-month curriculum approved by the Tennessee Department of Labor, serving approximately 90 students annually. Ben discusses the growth of their program, success stories, their collaborations for kitchens and training space, and how they now provide healthcare access through a concierge program and partnership with Lifedoc's VidaPlus. He outlines plans to expand into a 10,000 square foot space at 409 South Main, where they will establish a student-led restaurant and teaching center, and discusses their partnership with IOTA Community Schools, which will be expanding to serve 50 students in the 2026-2027 school year.

What does it really mean to be religious—and who gets hurt when belief goes unexamined? In this thought-provoking episode, Jack and Shannon dive into big, uncomfortable questions about faith, power, and the real-world impact of theology. From challenging harmful interpretations of suffering to exploring whether “faithful disagreement” has limits, the conversation pushes beyond easy answers into the messy, human reality of belief. It's honest, nuanced, and an invitation to wrestle with faith in ways that actually matter. Listen to other episodes in the Brewed Awakenings series. Download the Transcript. Got a question you want Jack and Shannon to cover?

Christa, Bob, and Jeff reflect on the lasting impact of the case—from the rise of hospital ethics committees to the complexities of living wills and healthcare decision-making today.Along the way, they examine how language can influence dignity in medicine, discuss troubling real-world stories involving abortion, medical ethics, and fraud, and consider the challenges of navigating truth in a polarized, media-driven culture. This thoughtful conversation encourages listeners to think critically, engage compassionately, and uphold the value of every human life in an increasingly complex world.Show Notes:Karen Ann Quinlan's Coma - 50 years ago https://theconversation.com/50-years-ago-karen-quinlans-coma-sparked-the-movement-for-patients-rights-near-the-end-of-life-277318South Korea woman and doctors guilty of murder of newborn babyhttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2k88j5x9wdoThis Cancer Researcher Home-Brewed a Beer That Works as a Vaccinehttps://reason.com/2026/03/15/enjoy-a-refreshing-diy-beer-vaccine/Hospice Fraud in California: (a problem throughout the US, but there's been more reporting on California)We visited “ground zero” for hospice fraud: Los Angeles, Californiahttps://www.cbsnews.com/projects/2026/hospice-fraud/State records show 89 hospice companies at one Los Angeles office plaza.

Grab a cup of your beverage of choice and settle in for Faith Unfiltered Podcast's newest addition. In this introductory episode of Second Cup, hosts Jack Hindle and Shannon McAdam invite listeners into thoughtful, honest conversations about faith, doubt, and the questions that shape our lives. Drawing from their very different backgrounds, they explore what it means to be religious, Christ-like, or simply human in a complex world. Along the way, they reflect on how curiosity, art, and lived experience can deepen our understanding of discipleship and meaning-making. With humor, humility, and plenty of curiosity, they begin “walking around” big questions rather than rushing to easy answers. This conversation is sure to draw you into deeper reflection long after the Second Cup is empty. Listen to more episodes in the Brewed Awakenings series. Download the Transcript. Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

Grab a beverage and settle in at The Cafe, part of the Brewed Awakenings series, where panelists Nicole Sherer and Mary Cusack explore what it truly means to pursue peace in today's polarized world. Drawing from different generations and life experiences, they reflect on how peace is practiced not only through public action like nonviolent protest, but also through everyday choices, courageous conversations, and personal transformation. From college classrooms to community activism, the discussion highlights how education, faith, and community can inspire meaningful steps toward justice and reconciliation.  Books recommended in this episode: Jesus and Nonviolence, by Walter Wink (Fortress Press: 2003) Listen to more episodes in the Brewed Awakenings series. Download TranscriptThanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

It's no secret that Louisiana culture and cuisine have broad national and even international appeal. This week, we look at some local companies that have successfully leveraged a love for Louisiana to expand their operations across the state and beyond. We begin with the cannabis-infused seltzer brand, Louie Louie. Brewed on the banks of the Mississippi in New Orleans, the company celebrates our state's flavors in every can. And people are drinking it up – everywhere from local restaurants like Mosca's and the Napoleon House to locations across the nation. Two of the company's founders, Ken Jackson and Eric Becker, join us. Then, we sit down with Braithe Tidwell. The corporate beverage director for the Ralph Brennan Restaurant Group tells us how Louie Louie Pimm's Cup cocktails made their way onto the Napoleon House menu. Next, we learn about the fast-casual seafood restaurant company, Off the Hook. Founded in Thibodaux, the business had been steadily expanding across Louisiana – most recently opening a location in Lafayette. We speak with CEO Paxton Moreaux about growing his brand while keeping everything authentic and hyper-local. Finally, we speak with Jennifer Weishaupt, founder and CEO of the Ruby Slipper Restaurant Group. The Ruby Slipper Café has prospered and multiplied in a way that Jennifer and her husband Eric could never have anticipated when they opened their very first Mid-City location in 2008. She tells us about her ever-expanding breakfast and brunch empire, now serving hungry diners in locations across six states.

If you're a small-town mayor, maybe don't sniff a teenager's dirty panties. If you're a hotel guest, maybe don't wash your dirty undies in the coffee maker in your room. We discuss the Olympics and the USA's gold medals in men's and women's hockey. Canada may have lost, but they were able to start drinking at 6 AM thanks to Doug Ford. We had a mass shooting at a hockey game in Rhode Island, a woman shot her daughter and herself, and Brian talks about a frustrating visit to the Verizon store. A woman left her dog at an airport in Las Vegas and we bid farewell to those we lost this week in Celebrity Obits!

We replay of  episodes 3 and 4 (originally recorded in one marathon session), we reflece on the raw, chaotic magic of the show's beginnings with his late co-host Chris. The intro features classic Dopey elements—voicemails from Heart Attack Doug complaining about his absence from the Tuesday Patreon teasers, listener Spotify comments praising past guests like Steve Poltz, and Dave's ongoing gratitude for five-day-a-week Dopey while teasing upcoming episodes with Hank Azaria and more Reddit roundups. The bulk of the episode replays the vintage recordings: Chris shares his infamous "Dodge the Lodge" story about brewing jailhouse pruno at strict Alina Lodge, fleeing into the woods, and waking up in a Harlem ER after overdosing on stolen GHB from a Powerade bottle (leading to a months-long fruit ban back at rehab). Dave follows with his own tales of odd jobs, including working as a fake private eye in 90s clubs and his 1999 Howard Stern Show appearance where he conned his way on air with a phony "Shuffle Entertainer of the Millennium" award—only to get called out (and kicked out) by Robin for obviously being high. The replay captures the unpolished, hilarious chemistry between Dave and Chris that defined early Dopey, ending with Dave's heartfelt appreciation for preserving Chris's voice in these archived episodes.Dave says Episode 4 includes the Howard Stern story (again)ALL THAT AND MORE!
