Name: 258. That's Wheels Up for the Two Pastors by Two Pastors' Podcast
Duration: 28 min 38 s
Description: Big news. Sad news? Honest news. And hopeful news. The two pastors have discerned that this particular iteration of their voices together has come to an end. Listen in on them as they meander, in their signature manner, through the process of saying 'no' to this and being open to what the next 'yes' is.

Pastor Beth is in a sermon series on the “Fruit of the Holy Spirit”—human actions and attributes that reveal who God is in our world. Along the way, she’s reading a book called "Neuroscience and the Fruit of the Spirit,” by Bryan Spoon, to inform her thinking. The two pastors talk about the Spirit living in our physical bodies and how we can make way for the Spirit to be known in our world.

254. Love vs. Indifference

Even though these two pastors seem to talk about anything and everything, there are a lot of things pastors withhold. So much of their lives is in a “fishbowl.” In this episode the two pastors talk about how they can be more honest about the deeper struggles they have, whether it be preaching on July 4 or how tired they feel in this post-pandemic time.&nbsp;

255. Walk Next to Me

The “golden rule” is universal in that every religion has its version of this statement, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” But there is a flaw in this if we only ever love others the way we wish to be loved. What if our “others” need to be loved differently than we need to be loved? Listen in as the two pastors kick around the “Five Love Languages” as a way to push the Golden Rule a bit further.&nbsp;

256. Love Languages and the Golden Rule

The two pastors give us a sign off until the fall. Both are wrapping up Summer 2021 with time off, hoping to be able to shut down and reboot. They hope you will do the same. See you after Labor Day!

257. Time to Reset

We replay our interview with “This Side of Eve”, the creators of the theme music we are gratefully using this season. John and Alyssa Creasy join the two pastors for a conversation about music, faith, Pittsburgh, organic farming, climate change, the environment, Black Lives Matters, and acceptance. We also feature excerpts of several songs from their newest album, "More to Come." Please explore the music of This Side of Eve (thissideofeve.com) further on iTunes, Spotify, and Bandcamp. John's pastoral work is with the Open Door Church (pghopendoor.net) and the Garfield Community Farm (garfieldfarm.com) in Pittsburgh, PA.
