Cuss and laugh along with CtabDiving radio podcast Tuesday!

When my kids were teens, I shared with both of them that I used to curse—a lot. You should have seen the expressions on their faces as their jaws dropped, and eyes grew wide with disbelief.  “Not you Mom! I don't believe it!” I was pleased that I had to convince them otherwise, glad that I'd decided when they were both very little that my speech needed to change. That, and the Holy Spirit got ahold of me. When I was thinking about this week's kitchen table topic, I was surprised by some of the pushback I received. I had no idea that cursing for Christians was a controversial subject.  No, the Bible doesn't explicitly say, thou shalt not curse, but as I looked up scriptures about our speech, I believe it's overwhelmingly clear that God does not want us using bad language to express ourselves, especially in front of those who aren't Christians. Listen as I share what I learned the Bible has to say about our speech and how we should portray ourselves as Christians in the episode. Also, I'd love for you to become part of the Building Strong Homes Community and sign up for my email list where you'll also receive my baked spaghetti recipe.

Have you ever felt the ache of unmet expectations in your relationship with God? Does the faith you imagined seem different from the reality you’re living? In this episode, I sit down with Steve Cuss, author of The Expectation Gap, to explore the space between what we believe about God and how we experience Him in our everyday lives.

Through our conversation, we will learn: How to identify the stories we tell ourselves about God and why they matter. Practical ways to shift our perspective and experience greater freedom, trust, and intimacy with God.

Recorded live at Comics Sans Frontières, Houston For our milestone 900th episode, we headed to Houston and sat down with the brilliant Robert Pruitt, live at the Cats Conference: Comics Sans Frontières—a gathering of artists, thinkers, and cultural workers reshaping the future of comics, narrative, and speculative visual worlds. Live at a bar after the second conference day. So, this is never going to make it to the radio. Cuss-y MacCusserson shows up and healthy arguments occur. Pruitt, known for his richly layered drawings and deep engagement with Black cultural production, walks us through the politics of representation, the influence of comics and sci-fi on his work, and the shifting cultural landscape of the Gulf Coast. We talk materials, mythology, the beauty of inconsistency, and what it means to make work that traffics in both critique and care. Let's take a moment to reflect on what it means to reach 900 episodes of Bad at Sports—and what's next for us in the ever-evolving, ever-weird world of contemporary art discourse. Nah. Let's do it later this week at EXPO Chicago.

A native of Kentucky, Youngman has a BA in journalism from Western Kentucky University and now lives in Los Angeles. Today's Big Stuff is a Monday through Friday newsletter for progressive Americans who want to save their democracy while making fun of people like Donald Trump Jr. and Lauren Boebert who might actually be the same, really dumb person. . Today's Big Stuff (TBS) was founded in early 2019 by “Ready for Hillary” creator and Democratic strategist Adam Parkhomenko and former White House correspondent and veteran campaign reporter Sam Youngman. What started as a small clip service for six people, quickly expanded as thousands of stressed out Americans searched for a news source that tells it how it is — with lots of sick jokes and cuss words. In 2020, the more than 75,000 members of the Big Stuff community — also known as Sexy Patriots and Big Stufferinoes — mobilized along with 81 million other Americans to send Donald Trump crying back to Mar-a-Lago leaving a trail of urine along the way. And we're just getting started. If laughter is the best medicine, then TBS is like an injection of bleach right to the fucking face.
