ep 54 / present

Blake, Tanner, and Cody go a little long talking some changes they've made in the last few years and what they love about their lives right now.

Looking back on Future Family's podcast journey.

The wonderful Preston Perry joins the guys to give some of his wisdom on fatherhood and family. I know, that's what the title says, but I had to type it twice just to make sure it was real. Hit play and take notes.

After a little bit of a break, and having this episode in the editing room for a minute waiting to be edited, we are back with a fascinating conversation with the delightful Ashley Williams. Click play and follow along through the entire conversation to hear us talk about the need to engage with diverse reading when it comes to theology (and what theology even is). Listen and let us know what you think!

Wow. Who let us have a podcast? Here's to fifty episodes, and to many more. We hope you get a chance to listen to us reminisce over our first fifty episodes and what they've meant to us. We love you all.

Some of you will love this episode. Some of you will not. (Actually, that could be true about every episode.) In this episode, we discuss Tim Keller's book--The Reason for God. If you've read the book or not, by hitting play on this episode you will hear us talk about what the book covers, our likes and dislikes, our praises and our critiques of what has been considered an essential read among Christians for over ten years.  If you have further thoughts or questions about the book or anything in general, you can message us through our website.  Twitter @FutureFamilyPod | Instagram @futurefamilypodcast

We have a special friend(-of-the-pod) with us on this episode. You'll get lots of good recommendations, and a few crazy ones. Maybe just one crazy one. Maybe you'll like it, we don't judge. Anyways, you should know it took a lot of work to edit this down to a little under an hour. Please enjoy. Go buy a shirt! It's totally worth it. You can find it on our website. 

Well, related to the last episode, this one was short. We discuss how The Lord's Supper, or Communion, or the Eucharist happens in our contexts. Note: we do not necessarily go deep into what The Lord's Supper is (email us for more info on that if you'd like); however, this episode should at least start some conversations and some thinking about why we do it and how we can do better at doing it. If you want more information about this topic, or if you want more info about us, or if you want to buy a shirt (you know you want to), please go to our website at futurefamilypodcast.com Thanks.

Cody and Tanner go toe to toe in the first episode of our "Sacraments/Ordinances" series. Blake facilitates a conversation on baptism while Cody and Tanner give good -- well, you decide if it is good enough -- insights to how Presbyterians and Baptists view baptism in their context. We'd love to hear your baptism stories or questions. Go to our website and message us any questions, comments, or encouragement you may have! [We have not worked on new intro music, so Tanner put together another last second piece. He calls this one "An SNL type intro."] NOTES: Ask N.T. Wright Anything episode "#50 Icons, praying to saints & dividing over sexuality" around the 22 minute mark is when Wright begins to discuss baptism from an Anglican perspective. PCA position papers on Baptism. Baptist Faith & Message on Baptism.

Yep, you read that right. Erin H. Moon joins us to talk about liturgy!!! In this episode, we talk about Liturgy in the Church (3:00 min mark), Liturgy outside of the Church (21:00 min mark), and Erin's Lent guide "Memento Mori" (39:00 min mark).  You can hear Erin talk more about her move from Southern Baptist to Anglican fellowship on Jamie Ivy's podcast here.  You can also find Erin's Lent Guide (which we highly recommend) here, AND use promo code "FUTURE" (all caps) for 15% off your purchase of her Lent guide "Memento Mori." [NOTE: The intro music for this episode is quite temporary and was made in a few minutes, so please leave your judgment at home.] Final bit of info -- we have a website! It is futurefamilypodcast.com and you can purchase an amazing shirt there through the 'surprise' tab.
