I am a huge addict for Podcasts, and I'm not afraid to admit it.

I've realized that constant new sensory input keeps my brain calm and busy. If you know me, I basically always have my headphones in or speakers on listening to something. When I say, always, I mean it - when brushing my teeth, taking a shower, changing out of pajama, putting on makeup, or even when sitting on the toilet (oops, is this too much information?). I used to feel guilty for always needing new inputs, but now I've made peace with my sensory preferences.Anyways, this is a different topic for a different day.

Today, I want to introduce you to some of my favorite Christian podcasts that have helped to keep me sane and entertained.

The Bible Project

An awesome and solid choice for new Christians like myself. The podcast features two hosts having easy-to-digest yet very in-depth conversations about the Bible, history, and theology. They also have accompanying videos on YouTube, Bible reading guides and all sorts of resources online that go with different topics they talked about on the podcast!

The Liturgist Podcast

What's up with this naming a podcast as "Podcast"? It's like naming a cat "Cat" or a novel "Novel". But I still really like this podcast. It's currently hosted by Michael Gungor, Science Mike, William Matthews, and Hillary McBride, exploring up-to-date social issues from Christian perspectives. Don't think they're your stereotypical Christians. They are honest and incisive. I'm not super familiar with the other hosts, but Science Mike really breaks stuff down scientifically (where do you think he gets the name from?) and shows you God's grace. This podcast dissects everyday life events to show you God at work.

Ask Science Mike

Science Mike, one of the hosts from the Liturgist Podcast, answering questions from listeners! Things that you're too afraid or ashamed to ask your pastor about because you don't want to be seen as dumb or not faithful! Things like past lives, transgender, proof of God, and so much more! If you're a curious Christian, this is for you!

Pastor with No Answers

Pastor Joey and his brother Jared having bold, heartfelt, and transparent discussions about life. Sometimes, they also offer their take on current social events. They are not afraid to be silly ghouls, tell their personal struggles and challenges, or admit that they don't know everything! If you want to know you're not alone in your doubts and sadness, or if you just want to listen to a pastor trying to figure this world out much like you and me, this is the podcast for you!

The RobCast

The host, Rob Bell, has a lot of interesting and intriguing takes on the Bible and theology. I'd say he's a very progressive Christian. Some may not completely agree with what he says, so I guess you'll just have to make your own decision. I really enjoy listening to him answering all sorts of thought-provoking questions. My favorite episodes are the ones he did with Pete Rollins (especially since Pete Rollins has an amazing Scottish accent that I cannot get over with)!

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
