Because We're Not the Same

Episode 037: Wealth, Sacrifice and Inequality

This week, Nathan brings on his friend Shylo Rosborough to talk about their thoughts on the books Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance and Salt and Light by Eberhard Arnold, and how those books address poverty, community, spirituality, and personal responsibility. With Nathan having a traditional conservative perspective and Shylo taking a more liberal viewpoint, will the two be able to have a reasonable discussion with each other on these issues?

Episode 034: Finding Hope in the Divided States of America

This week, Nathan brings back his good friend Jamie Newman to talk about the political dumpster fire that is known as the United States of America, and to what extent it's possible to reach out to liberals and conservatives with a mindset that is reflective of the Kingdom of God.

Episode 033: Dr. Saby, Medicine Woman

This week, Nathan brings on his friend Julie Saby to talk about her life as a wholesome, passionate, small-town doctor-in-training who happens to be working in an environment where a pandemic is happening in the background. (It's actually a pretty chill conversation.)

Episode 032: Redemption Quest

This week, Nathan brings on his friend Varun to talk about his life as a child of East Indian immigrants, his turn to juvenile delinquency, the chance he got to rebuild through pursuing a career as a flight attendant and finding faith, and the dream he has of becoming a police officer even when the odds are against him.

Episode 031: The Five Sides of Being a Furry

This week, Nathan brings on his friend NadTheFox to have a serious, respectful, semi-meaningful conversation about what it means to be a furry, from wearing fursuits in the heat of Florida to talking about the kind of impact such a lifestyle would have on one's children.

Episode 030: "Heresy" - Part II

We have officially run out of ideas and jumped the shark, as Nathan brings back his good friend Philip Nadurak, the Noble Heretic, to talk about what makes a heretic, and how heresies can be redeemed.

Please note that this is considered a direct continuation of Episode 007: "Heresy", with references to Episode 009: LGBT Christianity and Episode 023: Life is a Holy Romantic Musical Comedy. If you have not listened to these episodes before, it is highly recommended that you do so in order to gain a better understanding of some of the things we are talking about.

Episode 029: The Blessing of 2020

Samir is back, and here to talk with Nathan about how 2020 ended up being an unironically good year for them both, even as the world was going downhill.

Episode 028: Going Off the Rails With Theology

Every week, Nathan brings on a guest to ask them about how God has been working in their life; this week, as Nathan speaks with his friend Sean, that question sparks a spirited discussion about salvation, heaven, homosexuality, transgenderism, the apocalypse, and having an infinite mindset, completely derailing whatever plans there were for the original topic.
