We recently learned that Third Culture Kids have a distinct accent, also known as the "International Student Accent." Listen in as we discuss a thesis by Bianca Vowell titled Dialect Change in 'Returning' Third Cultu…

"It's cuffing season." Brandee Knowles (no relation to Beyoncé, we think) is in the studio with us as we talk through singleness and all its glory in life and ministry. Krista and I may be married women, but we were single once and it's safe to say that it was the best of times and the worst of times (but not for reasons you may think). If you have…

This is the second part of The Youth Ministry Tea and the kettle is whistling. Over our many years of serving, we've seen God grow us to value honesty and transparency in ministry so... we asked some youth workers to anonymously submit statements they wish they could discuss more openly with their youth's parents.
