Jake and I sat down to record this a couple weeks before Christmas, but life got hectic as it does this time of year, so we’re a bit later than we expected to get it uploaded. As a result, some of the things we talk about as upcoming – like Tuba Christmas, or Jake’s winter solstice performance at our church, have already happened. But! You can still enjoy our end of year wrapup. It’s been a year of highs and lows, and we reflect on our year and our favorite holiday traditions, and what we hope to see accomplished as we mark the new year’s entry.

Episode 5: Faith, Repentance, and the Land of Lothlorien
It’s been a week or two, right? All right, all right…ten months. So sue us. No, don’t…sue us. Just listen as we talk about life and family amidst our musical endeavors, enduring loss and more. We go through the latest post to the blog that Dave just finished and talk about Jake’s recent performance marking the seasonal transition at our church. We dip our toes into the current political scene as we talk about one of Dave’s current selections for light reading, and our prayerful desires to help our neighbors who will be encountering hardship as government benefits face interruption. We also get to hear Dave try his hand at a bit of audiobook production, reading a brief selection from Lord of the Rings, and discuss what it means to share these kind of stories with kids as they grow. Listen in and let us know what you think, and how we can pray for you!

Episode 4 – That’s What Christmas is All About
We’re wrapping up 2024 and celebrating Christmas with a wide ranging conversation. We recorded this a little over a week ago and covered everything from Christmas music preferences both sacred and secular, to why it’s still okay to be against murder while also believing the American health care system is broken, to the struggle of genuine engagement online and more. Tune in and listen!

Episode 3: Back At It – Papers, Prayers and Passions in Life
After a hectic summer Dave and Jake are back together talking about life, music, new babies, and much more. Our church’s elder class recently wrapped up and we’ve been publishing these piecemeal on the podcast website. We’re also going to begin turning these into podcast episodes, so we spent a little time talking about the purpose of these as well as our hopes for the future of this class.
Some of the books we talked about in this episode:
Biblical Critical Theory: How the Bible’s Unfolding Story Makes Sense of Modern Life and Culture – by Christopher Watkin
Art and Faith: A Theology of Making – by Makoto Fujimura
The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution – by Carl Trueman
Habits of the Household: Practicing the Story of God in Everyday Family Rhythms – by Justin Whitmel Earley

Episode 2 – Foxes Have Dens
We’re back for our second episode, and Jake features a piece of music he’s been working on along with conversation about music, current events and more. We cover J.K. Rowling’s reaction to Scotland’s hate speech law and discuss, books we’re reading and want to discuss more, family life and much more. Listen and share your thoughts below!
Episode 1 – Music, Art, and Jesus
Episode 6 – Holidays and Hobbit-Sense – Coronation Radio
Welcome to our first episode! Dave and Jake kick around the subjects that they love to think and talk about a lot – music, both playing and writing it, books and writing of all kinds, and Jesus, who gives the greater meaning to it all. But this is just scratching the surface. We want to dive deep into what it means to actually write stories, make music, create art, in a way that gives glory to God while being true to what it means to create such a thing.
