Duration: 1 h 11 min 1 s
Description: Christmas can be one of the strangest seasons of the year because we are supposed to be happy and full of cheer, but often Christmas afternoon is the most depressing day of the year. In this episode we talk with one of our favorite thinkers- Todd McGowan! We use Christmas and desire as a spring board for an hour of curious conversation!

Ashon Crawley is one of our absolute most favorite thinkers, writers, communicators, artists...all of that...Ashon graciously agreed to join us for our second annual "queer youth of faith day". This was an online festival designed to celebrate and empower queer youth of faith from all over the world. Ashon wrote a profoundly vulnerable and insightful piece for NPR about Lil Nas X's most recent single and video called "Montero". This episode is a live conversation with Ashon and several of the Beloved Arise youth for Queer Youth of Faith Day about Montero and the religious trauma that queer youth of faith often have to endure.

Do you have any interest at all in exploring the outdoors more? In this episode we talk to two of our favorite people about their quest to get people to "opt outside" more frequently. Berty and Emily Mandagie have created a business that aims to motivate people to become adventurers and they do this through photography, travel, vlogging, blogging and many other platforms. The story of how they got started and how they ended up together is beautiful and inspiring. Also- this is our first ever interview! We hope you enjoy!

The concepts of Wilderness and Holy Ground in The Bible are rich with meaning. This week Macie and Scott share some reflections about the story of Moses and the burning bush and how this ancient story has wisdom to offer us in terms of how we understand and experience God.

This episode is all about Enneagram type 4's! Since our last episode on the Enneagram we have learned and grown so much. The Enneagram truly is a tool to break us out of our self-created boxes and help us live more full integrated lives.

Beach House is considered one of the quintessential "dream pop" bands of all time. Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally seem to have perfected a sound that is ominous yet uplifting, spooky yet sweet, enchanting..and yet strange at the same time. They also happen to be one of Scott and Macie's favorite bands! So of course this merits a conversation about what makes Beach House so special! We hope you enjoy!

A year ago we released an episode where your pal, Mace, described what it meant to identity as gender queer. Since then we have hosted several wonderful and beautiful conversations about what it means to identity as transgender. We believe that there is a time and place for debates and discussion on this topic, but we also believe that hearing people's individual stories are just as important and effective. We hope you enjoy this check in with Mace!
