U21

In this episode, Richie and Cody discuss the greatness of Lebron James (we recorded this before he won his fourth title Sunday night), the issues surrounding the verdicts in the Breonna Taylor case, and how Christians might endeavor to follow the way of Jesus when thinking politically.

Richie and Cody talk about how weird podcast ads are, their recent vacations, and how we should think about evangelism in a post modern, post Christian culture.

Cody and Richie talk briefly about how the day to day grind has left them feeling a little frustrated. They follow that up with a deep dive into the new perspective on Paul. This one gets a little technical but we hope it gives listeners a desire to dive deeper into the biblical text as well as Jewish sources from Paul’s day and the early church. This is part 2 of the episode.

On this episode of the U21 podcast we have a special guest! Our old college roommate Kevin Stox stopped by to talk about what it was like living with us for two years and what’s going on in his life. We also talked about how easy it is for sports, friends, family, etc. to become idols in our life without us realizing it.

Richie starts off this episode by telling Cody a dream he had about him as well as a joke that no one will laugh at. Then we get into our favorite superheroes and why we love comics followed by a conversation about what the Black Panther film has to say to all of us. We end by looking at the human desire for fairy tales and how God’s story of redemption is the greatest of all narratives.

In this episode of the U21 podcast Richie and Cody take some time to unpack specific areas of their faith. Richie shares about his lifelong struggle with anxiety and Cody tells the powerful story of how he became a believer. We also take some time at the end to address issues of race currently and historically as we live in a moment of extreme hostility. And Richie makes an announcement at the beginning that will shock anyone who knows him.

At the end of episode 1 Cody screwed everything up so we had to record a little extra. This is technically still part of our first episode.

Richie and Cody talk about how their friendship began.
