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)!

So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
