Ep 73 - Leaving: What It Means, When to Do It, and How to Do It Well 1:02:38

5y ago1:02:38

1:02:38

Brace for the profound... In life, there are beginnings, and there are endings. I know, I know. Your mind just got blown. But, in all seriousness, those beginnings often include some form of arrival, and, with those endings, some form of departure. It is the second one we're talking about on this episode of As You Go, and not only because this happ…

Ep 72 - 2018: A Year in Review 1:11:52

5+ y ago1:11:52

1:11:52

Well, it's that time of year again when we look back on all the best (and worst) aspects of 2018. Why we do this, who can say for sure? But we do it, and this wouldn't be a regular, ongoing podcast if it didn't keep up with culture's tendency to evaluate the previous year before jumping into the next. On this episode of As You Go, Bo sits down with…

Ep 71 - Heaven and Hell: Christianity's Crucial Carrot and Stick 52:56

5+ y ago52:56

52:56

Heaven. A glorious place. Pearly gates. Streets of gold. A crystal sea. And so many clouds! Hell. A terrifying place. Fiery pits. Sulphur fumes. Dank caves. And so many pitchforks! Misinterpreted or not, these are just some of the images that come to mind when we think of the proverbial carrot and stick of the Christian view of eternity. And, for m…

Ep 70 - Gender Identity: Who Do You Think You Are? 56:57

5+ y ago56:57

56:57

In the last two decades, majority views on gender and sexuality have undergone a significant shift. And in the last half-decade or so, one of the most controversial issues to emerge within this subject matter is the issue of gender identity (i.e., "gender expression," "gender dysphoria," etc.). Whether for better or worse, not very long ago in West…

Ep 69 - Millennials: Our Babies Are All Grown Up 1:11:35

5+ y ago1:11:35

1:11:35

While simultaneously changing the world through technological innovation, social media platforms, and award-winning artistic pursuits, the Millennial generation is simultaneously decried as a generation of entitled, lazy, ill-prepared men and women who have not had the rock-solid upbringing of previous generations. There are plenty of news pundits,…

Ep 68 - Parables: Describing the Indescribable 55:44

5+ y ago55:44

55:44

It's the Season 4 premiere of the As You Go Podcast! We're glad to be back with another year of great conversations (and we don't plan to cut this season short due to marriage ceremonies, unexpected surgeries, and house moves...)

Ep 67 - Technophilia: These Kids Today and Their Phones 56:46

6y ago56:46

56:46

You've seen them in restaurants, heads bowed down at the table but not necessarily for prayer. You've seen them at bus stops, standing mere inches from other human beings but completely oblivious. And you've been behind them when the stoplight turns green and their cars don't budge. We live in a world that, like it or not, is addicted to smartphone…

Ep 66 - The #MeToo Movement: Why It Should Move Christians, Too 1:01:59

6y ago1:01:59

1:01:59

As You Go is back, after far too long of a hiatus, with a wonderful conversation on an issue that continues to gain notability and notoriety in our society. The #MeToo Movement is sweeping across the country, affecting major cultural industries from Hollywood to politics to journalism. And yet, what is truly powerful about this movement is not that…

Ep 65 - Immigration: Where's the Love? 55:44

6y ago55:44

55:44

Immigration. It's become an incessantly debated issue in our country, but how should committed Christians frame their own ideas about the plight of the immigrant and the foriegner? Should one's allegiance to the gospel of Jesus supersede national policy, or is it better if the two never meet? Regardless of what a person thinks about current immigra…

'Tis the season, podcast fans. In between whatever shows you're listening to, you're no doubt also lending your ears to the familiar refrains of Christmas songs.

Ep 62 - Storytelling: The Truth Never Sounded So Good 56:34

6+ y ago56:34

56:34

What is it about a good story? That, in essence, is THE question we are asking ourselves on this episode of As You Go. But, more specifically, why are human beings drawn to stories? Why do we evaluate our lives as if they are stories? Why do stories inspire us in ways other methods of communication just can't? And what kind of trust did Jesus have …

Ep 61 - Christian Ethics: It Ain't Easy Asking Hard Questions 55:19

6+ y ago55:19

55:19

The term "Christian Ethics" may not mean much to you, but if you are a believer in Jesus Christ, or even someone who just strives to live according Judeo-Christian principles, then it is a term that applies to you. This is because the life of faith is not defined solely by what we believe, but also how our beliefs shape our actions. This episode's …

Ep 60 - Church History 3: No One Likes Change 1:07:40

6+ y ago1:07:40

1:07:40

It's time once again for another round of Church history on As You Go! Like episodes 44 and 53 before it (which were recently re-released for those who need to catch up or refresh their memories), this episode continues to trace the long and winding history of the Christian Church, from it's inception at Pentecost in the early 1st century C.E. all …

Ep 59 - Transformation: Be the Change You Want to See 54:11

6+ y ago54:11

54:11

How do we change? Is it is even possible to truly alter some aspects of our personalities, our perspectives, not to mention our behaviors and habits? And, if so, what exactly does this process look like... and how long does it take? On this episode of As You Go, Bo sits down with regular guest co-hosts Katie Phillips (freelance writer and director …

On the inaugural episode of our newly-named podcast, Bo sits down with the two guys who co-hosted the original episode two years earlier: Mark Paul and Steve Johns.
