40 | Why Spirituality is so Difficult for Men
John Eldredge, also known as "Padre" around the And Sons world, joins Sam and Blaine as they begin the conversation around masculine spirituality. Why are so many men struggling with the typical "church experience"? Does there seem to be more women than men in most faith settings? Why is that? Finding God in the things you love, in adventure and in battle, are some of the ways to step into a fuller spiritual experience.
Hidden in Plain Sight
John and Stasi Eldredge have a conversation with Becky Allender (author of the new book Hidden in Plain Sight and wife of Dan Allender) about how we can know our story, put words to it, and share it with others.
39 | How to Respond to Trauma
It's the phone call, the text, the "mayday" from a friend or family member that changes everything. You jump in the car to meet them, or sit down to talk on the phone and wonder, "What do I do now? What do I offer?" Dan Allender is back on the podcast to offer some simple counsel on how to engage those in your world who have recently experienced trauma of some kind, and how we can learn to walk alongside them.
New Ways to Experience God - Part 2

38 | You Need A Budget: Jesse Mecham
This episode is not an advertisement. Money and budgeting are usually more complicated than issues of dollars and cents, there's often shame and personal growth right in the middle. In our conversation with Jesse Mecham, founder of YNAB, we get to explore what motivates someone to think about budgeting, and what Mecham would want to change about the way people think about money. While there are lots of budgeting programs, styles, and apps out there it's probably best if you stick to the one you've committed to, and if you haven't committed to one, maybe it's time to think about why.
New Ways to Experience God - Part 1
John, Stasi, Morgan, and Allen invite listeners to pursue God in new ways this year.
37 | Morgan Snyder and the Possibility of Initiation
There are many things that we need in life, Maslow's Hierarchy and all that, but some things stand out on their own. Initiation is one of the big ones. It's something that probably most of us haven't experienced in our life, either in the small and specific or in the sweeping narrative of our stories. Morgan Snyder, of Ransomed Heart and Become Good Soil, takes us in to the ways that it is needed and offered.

36 | Living Embodied : Shame, Opposition, and the Call to Risk
After the triathlon nerd-out episode, we realized nobody's story of adventure and exercise begins at the starting line. For most of us, stepping out into adventure means working through sometimes decades-long stories of opposition. We asked Luke to come in and share his story of longtime injury, eventual achievement, and overcoming shame. Enjoy a conversation on starting places, breaking agreements, and entering into an embodied life.
When Your Story Stalls - Part 1
In this first of a two-part conversation, John, Allen, and Sam Ainslie talk about how our stories can get stuck...and what God is up to in these chapters of our lives.
35 | Tov: What it Means to be Good, with Mandy Nelson and Scott Morin
There’s an old line in Tozer we’ve come to appreciate a great deal. It’s this: “God is speaking. He is, by His nature, continuously articulate. He fills the world with His speaking voice.” But the layers in and through which He is speaking aren't always obvious on first glance. Mandy Nelson and Scott Morin have spent their lives teaching and learning more about these layers and the implications for our lives.
